After spending the weekend apart, Violet Affleck was right back in her mom's arms for a lunch date in LA today. Jen continued to flaunt that baby bump with her cute lemonade T-shirt while Violet showed off her own style with her hair clips. Jen and Ben had their share of fun getting fancy with their BFFs at the Obama fundraiser on Saturday night, but how could anything beat coming home to Violet's adorable smile?

Alexis Bledel, Blake Lively, America Ferrera, and Amber Tamblyn put on their best casually cute outfits and stopped by TRL in NYC yesterday. Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 just had its big premiere a week ago, and the actresses are in full promotion mode, with a quick GMA stop also. We'll have to wait and see if they can score the same success as those other four fabulous females, but check back in to see what Buzz thought of the sequel, which hits theaters tomorrow.

Jenny McCarthy took her fab blue bag out for a walk in LA yesterday, with a stop over at Whole Foods. That big smile on her face shows that not only are things going great with the men in her life, Jim and Evan, but she's still working hard for her causes, despite an ongoing debate with Amanda Peet. This Saturday she'll guest star on Saturday Night Main Event to help spread Autism awareness, and she has a fundraiser with Lance Armstrong lined up for October as well. Not only is Jenny making some big strides for her son Evan's condition, but she's also proving to be a great role model for him in the process.

Leighton Meester changed out of her glam green outfit you loved into a comfy t-shirt, jeans, and sunglasses when flying into JFK last night with her scruffy pup tucked into her luggage. Leighton and her Gossip Girl costars accepted multiple surfboards in LA on Sunday night, and the actress talked about the show and the upcoming season in an interview. Here are some highlights:

• On the show: "It’s mature, but I feel like it speaks to kids and it doesn’t white wash anything."
• On the racy ads: "We just end up seeing it on a billboard somewhere. But I think that it's smart and it's fine and it's cool."
• On Blair next season: "There's a lot more [language]. I say Bass-hole, I say something else, but it’s all Chuck Bass-related."

Sounds like Blair and Chuck's love-hate relationship will continue to be pretty tense, though we have to admit that we're still not totally used to the language that those kids can get away with these days.

Aww, how adorable and giddy do James Van Der Beek and his wife Heather McComb look? The couple went to dinner at Katsuya in LA last night, looking just as in love as they did frolicking on the beach for their fifth anniversary. While Dawson's former onscreen love returns to television, James has two new movies, The Boy in the Box and Formosa Betrayed, coming soon. Still, we can't help but dream about the kids from Capeside getting back together. Hey, if the kids from 90210 can do it, why not?

Never one to let a breakup get her down, Kate Hudson was looking sunny out in NYC yesterday and shopping for groceries at Whole Foods. Whether her extra friendliness with ex Chris Robinson means anything or if that's just the kind of relationship they have, I do like that she can keep a smile on her face. Plus, she's got something fun to look forward to — the short film Cutlass that she directed for Glamour last year will be showing at the Palm Springs International ShortFest at the end of the month alongside movies directed by Kirsten Dunst, Robert Redford, and others.
