While John Mayer skipped town when the news of their breakup hit, Jennifer Aniston comforted herself with a little shopping at Edwards-Lowell fur boutique in Beverly Hills yesterday. That's not all she's doing to get her mind off the breakup — she was apparently already seen out on a date with a new man. While it sounds like she might have orchestrated the hot guy sighting to curb any rumors of a broken heart, we can narrow down the list of suspects by one. Matthew Felker, Selma Blair's ex and the star of Britney's "Toxic" video, denied that he is dating Jennifer.

Just a couple of days ago, Lindsay Lohan was publicly voicing how much she missed Samantha, and last night the ladies were back together for the grand opening of the Apple Lounge in LA with the likes of the Hilton sisters. Lindsay showed off her fabulous and more natural hair color, while Samantha seemed insistent on keeping her grouch face plastered on. It might not have been an act for the cameras considering Lindsay's ex-boyfriend Calum Best, of the infamous sex tape rumors, was also hanging around. While Samantha is long used to the gossip about her relationship, it can't be fun to hear rumors that Lindsay's been flirting with boys all over town.

Jennifer Garner left the grocery store yesterday with a maxi dress, a growing baby bump, and one smiley Violet in preparation for a festive birthday celebration. Ben Affleck turns 36 today, and he'll have at least his favorite girls with him to blow out the candles. Sounds like even more fun than last year's farmers market b-day, and Ben's probably already looking forward to when there will be another face in the family to give birthday kisses and hugs.

If Gwen Stefani's pregnancy seems interminable, imagine what it's like for the singer who kept a big beautiful smile on her face on the way into the doctor's office in LA with Gavin yesterday afternoon. Gwen looked ready to pop and in great spirits with her husband holding her hand, but little Kingston sat this one out. Gav's been taking care of their energetic youngster with checking out sporting goods and farmers markets while mom takes it easy, but the wait can't be too much longer before the new addition is here.
