Lauren Conrad kept casual with her classic white atop denim look out at Crown Bar in LA with Lo Bosworth last night. We all know The Hills is a bit of a TV obsession in pop culture, and LC is extending her reign on the small screen by guest starring on Greek and now the new CW show Privileged. Must be nice to get paid so well for just playing yourself. With Lauren's super-busy schedule, it's important that she takes time out to relax and party with friends, especially for bikini vacays in Mexico.

George Clooney got a break from promoting Burn After Reading at the Venice Film Festival yesterday to catch up with an old friend, British TV personality Mariella Frostrup. While he's been perfectly happy walking the red carpets with Brad, his former lucky lady Sarah Larson is doing her best to show that she's not jealous. Apparently she's moved on to dating a promoter and was spotted around Las Vegas with her new man last weekend. Whether or not George has a new woman in his life or just some beautiful friends, it's clear who is getting the last laugh in that breakup.

Brad and his boys arrived in Venice for the film festival just two days ago, but they were already boarding their water taxi on their way back to France today. It was a busy couple of days for Brad dad, who posed and partied with BFF George Clooney to promote Burn After Reading and still found time to pick up a trophy for Best Actor for his work in The Assassination of Jesse James. We would have loved to see more of Pax and Maddox during their trip to Italy, but thankfully there's still that spread in W magazine to look forward to.

Ben Affleck spent his second day at the DNC helping pack boxes of food for the needy, and last night Jennifer Garner arrived to watch the speeches, including Obama's surprise appearance. Ben is probably doing a lot of schmoozing, though it sounds like one convention attendee he isn't jumping to call is his ex Jennifer Lopez. Ben was eager, however, to chat about Matt Damon's new baby girl. Affleck said, "I've kind of been texting him back and forth, and he's doing great and [wife] Lucy is doing great. Anybody who has a child is excited, I think, no matter what the gender is. They are thrilled. The thing that people really want, when you get down to it, is a healthy child." While we wouldn't be surprised if Ben would like a son, sounds like a perfectly diplomatic answer for a political event.
