Diggory Back from the Dead -- And Clubbing!

You'd have to be a pretty hardcore Harry Potter fan to spot Robert Pattinson -- the guy who played Cedric Diggory on the big screen -- out on the Sunset Strip.
So you would think the guy would know his character died in "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" -- and more "Potter" flicks weren't in his future. But he didn't.
Silly muggles.

Ricki Lake and John Mayer were the rumored couple du jour (literally, one day) just a couple months ago. 'Memba them?
But that was an eternity ago, and even though Mayer supposedly was itching to wade into Ms. Lake, it looks like John was the one left all wet, if at all. We spotted Ricki in NYC the other night, and she gave us the lowdown on their alleged romance.

Life for Gwen Stefani, hunkband Gavin Rossdale and their adorable tot Kingston is like a day in the park -- literally!
The Stefani-Rossdales spent a sunny weekend afternoon in London's Regent Park, feeding the geese, pushing lil' Kingston on a swing and -- most importantly -- looking fierce! Hella good!
It's nice to see some pop star marriages don't wind up with monitored visitation, drug tests and being hauled off on a gurney!

The officially stocky Matthew Broderick may no longer possess the boyish charm he once did. The cranky actor told cameras last night to "Get the f**k outta the way!" Lately, he's been acting more like his nemesis -- principal Ed Rooney! Bueller ... Bueller ...
Mr. Sarah Jessica Parker was spotted during the day in New York with his son James -- who along with wearing matching outfits, appears to be mimicking dad by covering his face from cameras -- or did he learn that from his mama?! Is that Sarah's purse from season two?

Sure, her parents may both have played superheroes in the movies, but it's Violet Affleck who's got the truly superhuman powers.
Even as temps plunged to nearly zero degrees, and her mother Jennifer Garner and other members of a stroller flotilla bundled up like sherpas, Violet boldly and blithely exposed her face to the elements and munched on crackers, seemingly oblivious to the cracking winds.
The kid is tough.

Fashion guru Giorgio Armani was caught on a Caribbean beach on Wednesday, sporting that same old banana hammock he's been flaunting for some time now. Time to hang it up, signor!
No offense, of course, to the fabric draping god, but wouldn't it make more sense for someone in his line of work to be up to date with the hottest beachwear trends?
One thing to be grateful for: he didn't get wet.

The French aren't like us -- they're lovin' freshly divorced President Sarkozy -- checking out the pyramids with his hottie girlfriend, model/singer Carla Bruni! Imagine if Bill had divorced Hillary and taken up with, say, Heidi Klum -- there would have been a movement to impeach him! Oh, wait. Nevermind.
But in France, where love is synonymous with all things French, the president is just another older dude in too-tight jeans with a hot, younger babe. Toujours l'amour!

The paparazzi still flip for Tori Spelling. A couple that were shooting Tori and her family out shopping in Beverly Hills yesterday were literally swept off their feet by a decorated palm tree and some grass.
The look on faces of the photogs was priceless, but even more impressive was the split-second recovery time for the boys to get back to shooting.
