Your favorite Hills girl, Whitney Port, didn't appear to be missing her friends back in LA yesterday as she got cozy with a new guy outside the Diane von Furstenberg offices in NYC. Judging from the cameras behind her, it looks like Whitney was working on her rumored new show, although for the time being she's still very much a part of The Hills' drama. On last night's episode, she got promoted at People's Revolution while things continued to heat up between Lo and Audrina. Lauren had yet another showdown with Heidi at Stephanie Pratt's birthday party, but between all those plot lines we still had our eyes on the food, gorgeous makeup, fashion and gadgets.

Jessica Simpson showed off sexy hair but tried a bit too hard with the outfit performing at the California State Fair in Sacramento last night. Jessica's plaid and turquoise help her country look, but now she's made her entrance into the genre official by joining the Country Music Association and adding more credibility to her new sound. Country may have helped Jess pull out of a tough place, but it has also gotten her back on stage like it's the first time with her state fair tour. The next big hurdle for Jess will be when the album actually hits stores in a few short weeks on Sept. 9.

Are you ready for the list of celebrities vacationing together in Hawaii? There's Courteney Cox, David Arquette, and Coco; Tobey Maguire, Jennifer Meyer, and Ruby; Isla Fisher, Sacha Baron Cohen, and Olive; Leonardo DiCaprio, Lukas Haas, and a whole bunch more buddies. Phew. The A-List group of friends were all out on a boating, snorkeling, paddling trip together at the end of last week, and there's just too many treats to even describe in these photos. From Leo playing with little Olive to Isla not being quite as adept on the surfboard as Courteney and her hot bikini body. How goofy does Leo look? We got to see a little of the Cox-Arquettes solo in Hawaii as well as Isla, Sacha, and Olive playing around, but it's so much more fun to see the whole crew together! What a great way to celebrate the end of Summer.

The boys arrived at the Venice Film Festival this morning, and we couldn't be happier to see them! Brad Pitt had Maddox and Pax by his side to meet up with perfectly relaxed and handsome looking George Clooney. The duo are slated to attend a Not on Our Watch Event tonight before tomorrow's big premiere of their movie Burn After Reading. Last year the whole Jolie-Pitt crew made the trek to the festival, but with the two new additions we wouldn't be surprised if Angelina, the girls, and the babies sat this one out. Instead, Maddox and Pax get some man time with Brad dad and his buddies in Venice, not too shabby.

Lots more of Brad, Clooney, and the boys, so read more
