Jennifer Garner and Violet Affleck were little rays of sunshine around LA at the beginning of this week. Yesterday the girls paid a visit to Huntington Botanical Gardens, while today they were at Giggles N' Hugs for lunch together. They may not be the most exciting photos in the world, but what's to complain about with this adorable duo taking advantage of a perfect Summer day?

After jetting to LA on her day off to support Tom for the big red carpet premiere of Tropic Thunder last night, Katie was back in Manhattan bright and early this morning. This superwoman sure knows how to live the bicoastal life in style, keeping it casual and comfy with her skinny jeans and white top on her way to rehearsal. Maybe instead of Tom's pants Katie has moved on to wearing his shirts, although with her jet-setting ways, seems like the actress doesn't need his wardrobe to keep close to Tom.

Paris Hilton has been away from home for the last few weeks to work in Denmark and Las Vegas, so now that she's back in LA it's time to stock up on some essentials. Never one to underdo things, Paris picked up an overflowing cart full of groceries before buying bagfuls of sporting equipment, including a pink bike. She'll probably want to use her newly-acquired tennis rackets to play with a pal, even though her doubles partner of choice may no longer be Benji Madden.

Lauren Conrad was full of smiles even up bright and early in LA today. While this may mean last night wasn't a late one for LC, she has been causing some rumors recently spotted out around town with My Boys actor Kyle Howard. While Lauren denies that they're dating, we're all for a fresh romance in her life. Whether or not she's just playing coy, all the girls have promised lots of new drama and new boys when The Hills returns in less than a week!

Natalie Portman showed off her Summer style in her plaid dress and flip-flops shopping with a friend in Malibu on Sunday. It looks like the actress and music video star is enjoying her time on the West Coast while her gorgeous NYC condo is on the market. It's good to see Natalie getting in some girl time, but her best buddies — her cute puppy and boyfriend, Devendra — probably aren't too far from her thoughts.
