Sienna Miller didn't stay separated from her new lover long. She made her way to LA to be with Balthazar Getty and try to continue to prove the innocence of their "non-affair." While Balthazar has been reunited with his children, he is supposedly not actually trying to get back together with his wife Rosetta. More stories about the end of his marriage are coming out including the fact that he was sleeping on friends' couches for six months before meeting Sienna. They are also clearing up the rumors that their families are outraged by the innappropiate public PDA (NSFW) behavior by pointing out that the company in Italy on the boat was actually his mom and Sienna's mom. Guess Sienna and Bathazar still have their families in their corner though they may have lost the respect of their fans in the meantime.

Just a few locks of that "reddish hair" Nicole talked about peeked out of Sunday's blanket as she snuggled up in mom's arms in Sydney, Australia today. Nicole and Keith made the trek home to introduce their new addition to family including this visit to Nicole's sister, but the pressure is on to get photos of the infant since everyone has yet to see her. Yesterday, Nicole and Keith called into a local radio station to talk about what it's like bringing the celebrity baby back to Australia. Here are highlights:

• Nicole said: "She looks like Keith. I think she does. . . She's got a little bit of hair, it's a bit of a reddish tint. . . They say a lot of it (labour) has to do with how your sister and your mother gave birth, so luckily my sister's had four children ... and that was pretty easy for her too. My mum was a nurse too and also she's a midwife so we were surrounded ... but we also had wonderful nurses at the hospital. I'm embarrassed now. That's too much information on a breakfast show. . . Keith and I are both appealing to the press and just to give us a little space so we can walk around Sydney and show the baby our town . . .She's tiny. She's like a doll, she's like a little, little thing."
• Keith said: "Anybody out there who's got kids (knows) it's just a certain kind of feeling that you can only experience when you do it. She's just awesome ... cute little thing. . . I'm not looking forward to having to go on tour and having to leave."

It's understandably overwhelming for Nicole and Keith to be handling all the attention surrounding photos of their baby, but it sounds like they're well prepared to handle it. The whole family must be happy to meet their newest member and Australia's tiny new star.

After a whirlwind trip to Miami to visit the Ronson fam, Lindsay and Samantha were back in LA yesterday with their matching luggage and travel pillows, awww. Smart thinking girls, you never know what they're going to charge you for on planes these days. While Lindsay's parents kept fighting with Anderson Cooper, the ladies went straight to Barneys before bringing Sam's car for a much-needed wash, and then off to dinner at Chateau Marmont. Lindsay's come a long way since she was living at that hotel, and I'm betting the staff is a lot happier to see this cleaned up LL rather than the one who used to wreak havoc there.

Ashley Olsen ditched her usual Starbucks beverage of choice for a cup of Joe yesterday while walking around NYC. She had her hands full, but with all of the work she's been doing on the clothing lines — though according to MK they've divided and conquered a bit on those — and jewelry collection, a little juggling is to be expected. Now that Mary-Kate is off the hook in the now-closed Heath Ledger investigation, and Bob Saget has their back on the inappropriate jokes at his roast, the pint-sized twins have a few less things to worry about these days.

Katie Holmes isn't making her Broadway debut until September, but little Suri isn't about to wait. The girls headed to the theater last night to catch a showing of The Little Mermaid, which I'm thinking is a slightly different experience than sitting through Arthur Miller's All My Sons anyway. Once again Suri had on her fancy gold shoes, but this time it was Katie whose glammed up look was quite the exception to the casual baggy jeans we've gotten so used to recently.
