Hey Tony! Sign My AARP Mag?
Legend Tony Bennett was in New York yesterday for an appearance on "Regis and Kelly," and signed an autograph for a fan -- on an AARP magazine!
It never gets old for the Jurassic 81-year-old newlywed crooner, who saw combat in WWII, got his big break when he was discovered by Bob Hope, and had his first hit single in 1951 with "Because of You."
With over 100 albums, Tony's now on a promo tour for his latest, "Duets: An American Classic."
Phoebe Shows Her Cupcakes
Sometime TV extra and event regular Phoebe Price celebrated her birthday yesterday at the Ivy -- the restaurant with the most paps per inch of sidewalk in L.A. -- and P.P. stood outside, striking more poses than there were flashes. Priceless!
The birthday girl exited the eatery holding up birthday cupcakes with her own baby photo embossed on the icing -- proving that when it comes to publicity, she makes the cake.

Mary-Kate Loses Face
Like some character in Greek mythology, the sylph-like Mary-Kate Olsen has some amazing superpowers: Transforming herself into a bird, hiding behind a parking meter (and, last night, her own hand), and aging herself at will.
But last night, outside of New York's Bar Pitti, she trumped all that with her latest trick -- making her face completely disappear.
Finally, she's found a way to prevent the paps from getting a face shot!

In the Bathroom with Britney
What really went down when Britney Spears asked a photographer to join her in a restaurant bathroom? It's widely rumored that she asked for a tampon. TMZ is all up in this story, and it's simply not true.

Check out the video to see what Brit's pressing matter was. It's actually pretty cute!

Uhura Beams into Opera
Us Weekly threw a bash at Opera last night, hosting hot young actresses like Amanda Bynes, Miley Cyrus, and Nichelle Nichols?! The original "Star Trek" Lieutenant was the talk of the party. As one TMZ insider said, "Uhura stole the show!"
Also at the event was whiney rapper Kanye West, a non-Photoshopped Kathy Griffin, vampire slayer Sarah Michelle Gellar, and leather jacket-obsessed James Blunt. Chicken dancer Bai Ling clucked around, and R&B queen Mary J. Blige looked fierce in all white.
But the evening belonged to 74-year-old Nichelle Nichols -- who boldly stole the show.

Jen Garner -- Sunny Side Up
Jennifer Garner showed up to David Letterman's show yesterday, and she could've shown Kate Walsh a thing or two about how to make a "Late Show" entrance.
After alighting from her gigantic SUV, Jen was all smiles (but, seriously, when is she not?), posing patiently for a paparazzi wall, and when she emerged from the taping, she signed and signed and signed some more. Of course, even that wasn't quite enough for the autographerazzi, who groaned when she got back in the car.
Did we mention that she was smiling?

Ross the Intern Hits High C
Perez Hilton, looking like the hobbit who fell through a thrift shop, and Ross (still) the Intern, were outside of the US Weekly event at Opera last night, where Ross showed off his powerful pipes -- and rail-thin frame!
P-nasty was recording the twosome as they swapped scuttlebutt, when Ross abruptly blasted some Journey. Not only did Ross sing Journey, he sang it higher than Journey. Sadly, our cameraman had the mic on.

Olly Olly Oxen Free ... of Intelligence
With the buzz around Paris Hilton's upcoming trip to Rwanda, TMZ thought it would be a good idea to ask one of Hollywood's other blondes her opinion about it. Unfortunately, it was an Olly girl.
Not quite Mensa material Holly was perambulating through the Les Deux parking lot, when she was asked about Paris' Rwanda trip, to which Olly answered, "I don't know what that means ... I don't know what yoo-wanda means."
Time for a good tanning.

Goldberg to Paps: Can I Get a Witness?
Celebrities may have a combative relationship with the paparazzi most of the time, but on occasion they can come in handy. Just ask the buff and tatted Adam Goldberg.
The sometimes "Entourage" guest star was shopping in Hollywood when he returned to his ride and found a parking ticket. Baffled, Adam went to investigate.
Uma -- Hot for Taco?
On a steamy day in downtown Manhattan, TMZ ran into celebrity Buddhist Uma Thurman, happily swinging her shopping trove around as she traipsed through the cobblestoned strip mall formerly known as SoHo.
And then, like a little offensively-accented chihuahua in her ear, Uma had a Mexican food craving.
But this being SoHo, she couldn't make a run for the Taco Bell border, so she had to settle for real Cal-Mexican food at the ever-bustling Calexico cart.
Ommmmmmm ... yummmmmmm!
The Lil and the Short of It
Les Deux was raptastic last night, and thankfully, its infamous parking lot is big enough for two tiny emcees -- Too Short and Lil Jon.
A TMZ photog was chattin' up Too Short and Mistah F.A.B., who were so selfless that they pointed out the sudden appearance of rapper Lil Jon, who had just hopped out of his ride. TMZ's cameraman ditched Too Short, and pointed his lens over toward Jon, asking, "Who'd you rather?"
Serena Williams and Christina Milian are friends of his, so TMZ's convo with Jon was a lil' too short.
Kim K. Answers the Tough Question
Rump rockin' Kim Kardasshian was spotted at nearly half a dozen clubs and restaurants in Los Angeles yesterday, but it was outside of Mr. Chow where things got a little unrumpfortable.
As The Tush was about to head over to Les Deux, a TMZ photog asked her, "What celebrities would you like to see in a sex tape?" This was a little awkward for the stylish Miss K, as she has her own sex tape, "Kim K. Superstar." Amazingly, Kim gives the thoughtful response: "Jennifer Lopez."
Butts of a feather flock together!

It was 80 degrees and muggy in Manhattan yesterday, but it sure was freezing over at "The Late Show with David Letterman" -- and we don't mean the infamously cold Ed Sullivan Theater.
First, Kevin Smith showed up in his trademark floor-length coat-cape, and obligingly posed with fans and signed autographs.
Greasy and Blaine: Magical Mystery Bear
In the "What the hell are they hanging out for?" moment of the day, Brandon "Greasy Bear" Davis and flimflam performer, David Blaine, were seen leaving Hyde together. Mysterious strangers!
As Britney Spears latched onto Criss Angel to help her fail at the VMAs, is it possible Greasy needs David to bolster his career as a, um ... his career as a ... yeah. Who knows?

Stewarts Hit Up Koi
TMZ camera's caught Sean Stewart and his father Rod last night at Koi in Los Angeles. Oh yeah, Sean's smokin' hot stepblonde, Penny Lancaster, was there too. Who says boys night out can't have a little estrogen in the mix?
