TMZ's Josh Levine was back out on Monday night doing what he does best -- catching all the celebrity action in Hollywood.

Brandon "Greasy Bear" Davis hit the scene last night along with fellow Paris Hilton posse member Scott Storch at the Ripe TV Halloween party. The heiress, however, was nowhere to be found. As the guys got back in the car, a photog asked, "Where's Paris?" Greasy Bear responded, "She's in the trunk!" We hope he was kidding.

Over at Hyde, Ashlee Simpson made her triumphant return to American soil, heading straight to the nightclub just hours after getting off a cross-continental flight. Jessica's 'lil sis has been working hard in England for the past couple of months, starring in the London stage production of "Chicago." Ashlee, looking a little jet-lagged, rolled up with Peter Wentz of Fall Out Boy and seemed damn glad to be back home.

The freshly single Kevin Connolly also hit the club last night, arriving with a brand new mystery woman. Also hitting the town, Elisha Cuthbert, comedian-actor Kevin Hart and Leonardo DiCaprio, who tried to make a stealth exit out the back.

Girls were screaming, panting and out of breath at the Playboy mansion this weekend, but not for the usual reason.

Hef and his ladies decked out the legendary pad in frightening, yet sexy decor for the annual Playboy Halloween bash on Saturday.
Scantily clad playmates roamed the grounds, along with several ghouls, goblins and other scary things we weren't really paying attention to, as Hef sat back and admired his holiday handiwork.

"It comes from childhood," Hef said. "I was very much influenced by the classic horror films when I was a kid, and in my early teens.

Funny, we don't remember half-naked lady pirates running around in any classic slasher flicks.

TMZ's cameras and G-Hollywood hit the streets of LA on Thursday and caught up with tons of your favorite celebs.

We started the night off at celeb favorite Mr. Chow where we saw a trio of musicians. Outside the trendy spot we caught up with R & B mega star Usher who seemed to have recovered from the flu, a seemingly angry Elton John (when is he not?) and Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst who was doing a little street shopping for his son Dallas.

From there we stopped by one of Hollywood's hottest spots Area and the guest list was filled with celebs. We saw "Laguna Beach" hottie Kristin Cavallari, Amy Smart, the not-so-classy Joe Francis, record producer Scott Storch, Greasy Bear himself Brandon Davis, brother and sister Stewart and our favorite red-headed party girl Lindsay Lohan

The incident occurred outside an Xbox 360 party at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery. The photographer confronted Perez, accusing him of stealing photographs for his blog.

As Gooding stepped onto Lafayette Street, he was guided somewhat uncertainly towards his waiting car. But he had a greater mission in his mind than home and a deep sleep -- he wanted to look after one of the chroniclers of his uniquely American journey. And so he proffered what appears (by TMZ's exhaustive examination) to be a $20 bill for a single red rose. "This is the first time I've ever bought a camera -- uh, flower -- for you guys," said Cuba, affectionately. "Because we love you."

Moments later, faster than you can say abracadabra, world-famous grunge magician Criss Angel raced up onto the stage and tried to embrace the dancing debutante. The illusionist quickly learned that sharing the spotlight with Paris is a trick he hasn't quite nailed down yet, as Paris quickly swung to the other side of the pole and danced away.

TMZ stopped by the FOX Fall 2006 Eco-Casino Party on Monday night and the guest list was filled with tons of your favorite FOX TV stars. "Standoff's" Ron Livingston was all smiles as he posed for a few camera wielding fans. Brad Garrett also rolled by, along with his "'Til Death" co-star Eddie Kaye Thomas. "The War at Home" cutie Kaylee DeFer, "O.C." bad girl Autumn Reeser and and Dr. McSteamy himself Eric Dane also rocked the party.

From there it was off to the late night spots Area and Hyde where we ran into a partied out "House of Carters" star Aaron Carter, Paris Hilton, trip-hop artist Tricky, Laurence Fishburne. Lance Bass also hit the scene along with boyfriend Reichen Lehmkuhl.

After the excited crowd had already bombarded the former "Friends" star on her way into the show, the throng, which had more than doubled in size by the time Aniston emerged, dangerously rushed the actress after her final curtain call.

Amid the pushing, shoving and constant demands from her bodyguards to "get out of the way, give her some room," a woman photog was heard screaming "god damn you stupid f**ker" -- though it is unclear whether she's yelling at the bodyguards or other shutterbugs.

Aniston eventually pushed her way through the crowd -- with the help of her burly bodyguards -- and drove off, never once looking back.

"The Break-Up" star was performing in the 'The 6th Annual 24 Hour Plays on Broadway, ' a one-night sold out event. The event benefits the non-profit Working Playground organization, which promotes the arts and culture in schools. The 10-minute plays are literally produced in just 24 hours.

But Duff wasn't the only famous traveler that had to deal with the cameras this weekend. Lindsay Lohan, Kiefer Sutherland and Alec Baldwin all battled the flashbulbs as they made their way through crowded airports across the globe.

And business, in this case, is one of the longest celebrity hugs ever caught by a paparazzo's lens.

It's nice to see young actors so clearly nuts about each other, but it is a little intimate for a Los Angeles sidewalk. Part of us wants to say "get a room", and part of us wants to zoom in.

Gyllenhall was cruising through the streets of New York with an unidentified female on Thursday when he noticed multiple cameras tracking his every move.

Jake appeared to be taking the constant pursuit in stride, until he suddenly lunges toward the shooter and says, "Seriously man, it's just not funny, it's not funny, get the camera down." The actor then shoves the camera away and walks off.

TMZ's photo posse hit the streets of LA on Thursday night, which were filled with most of young Hollywood.

We started our night off at the celeb favorite Area and it was a chaotic scene as usual. Outside the club we caught up with "Simple Life" co-star Nicole Richie, rocker Travis Barker, playboy Dennis Rodman, "Girl next Door" cutie Elisha Cuthbert, former "Baywatch" beauty Nicole Eggert and up-and-coming rapper Won G, who stopped to give TMZ a quick shout out.

Next it was off to the newly re-opened Teddy's where the guest list was filled with young and old celebs. Frankie Muniz, former Playmate Traci Bingham, former Mr. J.Lo Cris Judd, Greasy Bear's brother Jason and former boy bander Joey McIntyre were all in attendance.

Cheryl Burke, Emmitt Smith's "Dancing" partner, seemed to be having a real blast as she flirtatiously stood outside new Hollywood hotspot Area on Thursday.

Burke, who was with a gal pal, played with her hair, talked on the phone and even sang and danced to "Juicy" by Better Than Ezra.

But Cheryl and her friend suffered a buzz kill from their wild night when a man outside the club kept egging on the ladies to kiss. Burke, who was visibly annoyed, retorted, "No, we don't kiss each other. I don't know what you're talking about."

Later, Cheryl revealed to the club's security staff that she was very tired because "I practiced for eight hours with Emmitt Smith."

Hopefully Cheryl went home, took two aspirins and got some much deserved rest.

Just a few days after he averted some major legal trouble and his wife of 14 years officially filed for divorce, TMZ cameras caught up with the former New Edition star last night at Hollywood hotspot Teddy's. Off the hook for now, Bobby hit the town with a hot date (after chatting it up with supermodel Roshumba) and rolled out of the Roosevelt Hotel in his beautiful ride -- a late 90s Land Rover Discovery.

If there's anyone who needs a night out it's Brown, who has had some major issues in his personal life as of late. The singer has been haunted by delinquent child support payments and allegations that self-proclaimed "Video Vixen" Karrine Steffans, may have caused the demise of his marriage. Also, Whitney has petitioned the court for full legal and physical custody of their 13-year-old daughter.

Bottom line: We are just glad he was able to get into Teddy's. He hasn't had the greatest luck with Hollywood doormen.

TMZ's newest cameraman G-Hollywood was inside the VH1 party for the screening of their new show "Celebrity Paranormal Project" and the guest list was an interesting one.

With acts like David Carradine, female boxer Mia St. John, child actor Danny Bonaduce, gossip gangsta Perez Hilton and Hugh Hefner (who showed up with an army of gorgeous woman), we thought that VH1 was doing a casting call for their new season of "The Surreal Life."
