Seems like Lance Armstrong and Kate Hudson have been spending all their free time together lately, and yesterday was no exception as they met up again in NYC before Lance stopped by The Late Show and grabbing dinner at STK afterwards. He played coy when the ladies of The View tried to get him to admit to the relationship in the morning, but there's no denying that smirk on Kate's face as she followed her man through the city. The kids stayed behind this time, but luckily this couple doesn't seem to have a hard time coming up with date activities.
John Mayer was already back in LA yesterday after his whirlwind romantic trip to Mexico with Jennifer Aniston. There's nothing quite as relaxing as lying in the sun — and being next to your hot lover doesn't hurt — even if it's just for a few days. It's not home for long for Mr. Mayer, whose Summer tour kicks off this Friday night in Copenhagen. We'll have to wait and see whether Jennifer takes the overseas trip with her man, but we wouldn't be surprised to hear about her watching him perform from the wings. Sounds like a lot more fun than spending any more time denying rumors of a Jennifer vs. Jennifer feud anyway.

Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony kept their precious Max and Emme protected as they landed in Belgium today. They're in town for Marc's concert tomorrow night, but it sounds like his wife is the one who gave the performance of the week — she sang "Let's Get Loud" for the graduates of a school for autistic children in NYC on Tuesday. The kids fell in love with the song, learning the lyrics and dance moves in the video, and Jennifer couldn't resist giving them a special treat after she received letters from the students asking for autographs. It's always refreshing to get a reminder that this new mom has such a big heart that's clearly in the right place.
People Magazine released its annual list of the Hottest Bachelors of 2008 today with Mario Lopez scoring the marquee spot. Joining him to name a few: Bret Michaels, Gerard Butler, David Cook, Andy Samberg, Brody Jenner, Frankie Delgado, the boys of Gossip Girl, Adam Levine as well as famous siblings Bryan Spears and Hunter Johansson. While it's nice to see a fresh list, some of these names seem out of left field. What do you think about People's list — are these 2008's Hottest Bachelors?
Angelina Jolie recorded the following PSA for World Refugee Day this Friday June 20. The UN Goodwill Ambassador's emotional plea, "They have survived war, they have survived displacement, they have survived rape, they have survived hunger and disease," brings attention to the heartbreaking and important day. It will also be recognized with events all over the world. This video is released in conjunction with an expected article in a major national newspaper which will be published on Friday. Even with Angelina's busy life, growing family and movie promotion, the important international causes are always close to her heart.
Matt Damon grabbed a soda on the way to work on The Informant in LA earlier this week, and we're thankful to catch a glimpse of cute regular Matt before slipping back into that fat suit and mustache. He might be spending his days in character, but last night he had to be cheering on his Celtics and celebrating as they devoured the Lakers for the NBA title. Even if he couldn't make it back to Boston for courtside seats, the big win should put a spring in Matt's step as he heads off to another day of work.
