Even celebrities love a good bargain and some simple put-it-together-yourself design. Ryan Phillippe had Abbie Cornish to help push the cart for an afternoon at Ikea yesterday. With a gorgeous new house to furnish, the couple braved the enormous store. We all know how tedious shopping at Ikea can be, so it's a good test of their relationship if they can stay happy through a long day of furniture browsing.

Brad Pitt looked like he was having some trouble keeping his eyes open at the post-party for his Benjamin Button Berlin premiere last night. Angelina was happily on his arm for the red carpet, but it was Brad who was burning the midnight oil after the screening. Earlier in the day, Brad admitted that he's not scared of aging or death so much as how it will happen when he goes, but anything stressful seemed to be far from his mind at the party. Brad was in Chicago on election night, and while he missed this weekend inauguration celebrations, there's many places he can catch up and read the speech online.
