Jenny McCarthy slipped into another little bikini yesterday to lounge in Hawaii with Jim Carrey. After a day in the sun, the duo pulled out the beach chairs and brought out drinks to watch the sunset with a canine companion. We've seen this striped number before and this vacation is kicking off the 2009 bikini bodies with a bang. While Jim and Jenny talk openly about never getting married, they're completely committed to each other as a family of three with little Evan and Jim couldn't look more content with how things have ended up.

Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal looked down to earth as usual shopping on Melrose yesterday. Jake is still keeping his long Prince of Persia hair tucked under hats, but Reese seems smitten no matter what's on top of his head. Reese is up for a statue at tonight's People's Choice Awards and whether or not these two hit the red carpet, we have a feeling we know which nominee would get Jake's vote.

Brad Pitt got up close and personal for yet another W Magazine cover. While he's promoting Benjamin Button, he also clears the air on all of the Jen and Angelina drama. Brad usually doesn't address the so-called feud, but this time he defends his partner while also saying kind words about his ex-wife. Here's more:

• On Jen's "uncool" comment: "Listen, man, Jen is a sweetheart. I think she got dragged into that one, and then there’s a second round to all of that Angie versus Jen. It’s so created."
• On his relationship with Jen: "We still check in with each other. She was a big part of my life, and me hers. I don’t see how there cannot be [that]. That’s life, man. That’s life."
• In defense of Angelina: "What people don’t understand is that we filmed [Mr. & Mrs. Smith] for a year. We were still filming after Jen and I split up. Even then it doesn’t mean that there was some kind of dastardly affair. There wasn’t. I’m very proud of the way that it was handled. It was respectful. [The film] will mean something to our kids. It will, that’s all."

It sounds like Brad understands that Jen's statements were taken out of context and he balances his respect for both women while maintaining how he and Angelina fell in love.

Joshua Jackson was looking particularly dapper all cozied up in his blazer and scarf as he walked around NYC listening to his iPod yesterday. His smirk is always a welcome sight, especially since we weren't treated to a new episode of Fringe last night. As we wait to get back to our Tuesday night Josh fix, for now we can appreciate his girl Diane's modeling skills and photo spreads.

The Palm Springs International Film Festival kicked off last night with their awards gala attended by some of the most acclaimed stars of the year. They screened Dustin Hoffman's new movie Last Chance Harvey and honored Hoffman, Sean Penn, and the cast of Revolutionary Road among others. Thankfully a sun-kissed from Cabo Leo made the trek to represent his movie. Dakota Fanning looked absolutely lovely and grown up in blue while Anne Hathaway traded in her dramatic hair and pantsuit for a LBD. As if LA isn't full of enough star power, it's only about to get brighter over the next few nights of award shows starting with last night's red carpet beauties.
