While Jen and Violet looked all pretty at the zoo, Ben continued to look like he rolled out of bed. He's even STILL sporting that Hanalei surf shop t-shirt, perhaps as a bit of a homage to his surfing-filled family vacation in the Hawaiian sun. It is interesting that somehow Ben seems to be getting hotter as his face gets scruffier which hasn't been the case for some Hollywood men these days. We just hope that Jen hands him the razor before he starts to look like a caveman.

Sure, we're on a bit of an Emma Watson kick, but she is such a welcome respite from our usual batch of starlets. I can only hope that she sticks around after the Harry Potter series has reached its end. Yesterday morning she stopped by The Today Show to chat with Ann Curry, stepping out of her Chanel dresses looking cute and preppy. Emma is still working on getting her interview technique down, but I can hardly blame her for being a bit nervous -- she is only 17 and this is the first time she's been on the front line of the Harry Potter media blitz. Judging from how totally poised she is at so young, she's the perfect girl for the job.

To see the video of Emma and Ann Curry (who sort of lets Emma get a word in edge-wise) just read more
We saw Owen entertaining some lady friends a few weeks ago in Rome, and it looks like he's taking an extended vacation. Now he's hanging around in Paris solo. We preferred following around Owen when he was dating Kate. What can we say - we were suckers for their matching blonde hair and romantic bike rides.

Wow, there's something slightly creeptastic about looking at these pictures of Zac Efron hitting the gym, perhaps he's looking to bulk up for his remake of Footloose? Hey, I'm not even saying he's hot, and he is 19 after all. Zac is certainly in the running for Next Big Thing Status (heck, even Movie Star Shia wants to be him) and judging from the clips I've seen of Hairspray, he's definitely got a certain charisma. Though the real star of that movie has got to be Nikki Blonsky -- in case you missed it, check out Buzz's interview with her and the film's director! Now, back to Efron at the gym. Hopefully all his make-up is waterproof!

It looks like Manjoyment Friday has been put on hold in favor of Celebrity Baby Friday this week - first we had adorable Suri and now we have cute Jen and Violet at the zoo! Both of Ben's ladies were looking sweet in their fashionable summer dresses, even though we wish Jen would ditch her trusty backpack. It looks like Jen got caught in an unfortunate gust of wind - immediately inducing pregnancy rumors of course - but we know Jen's been toning up, not to mention making no attempts to hide her belly. Guess pregnancy rumors are the price some have to pay to look trendy.

Reese was looking typically pretty leaving a salon in Beverly Hills yesterday afternoon. She's been spending a lot of low key time by herself and with her family these days, but come fall she's going to be back in high promotion gear (and alongside her ex Jake) for Rendition. It was just announced that the movie will premiere at the Toronto Film Festival in September, getting "gala treatment" along with Clooney's Michael Clayton. Hey, maybe a little red carpet time with Jakey will be all the former lovebirds need to rekindle that flame.

Apparently Paris may have been living the good life even before she got out of jail - police are about to investigate whether or not she got special treatment while she was in prison. The privileges aren't exactly what'd you think, though - supposedly Paris may have enjoyed a new prison uniform, access to a cordless phone, and had her mail hand delivered. The phone sounds like it might have been a big deal, but we're surprised Paris Hilton didn't sweet talk more perks.

As seen from the pictures above, perky Paris continues to enjoy herself since being released from jail including having dinner all dolled up with Nicky at Koi. She is also hitting up all her favorite hot spots and indulging in her old habits. For more pics of Paris and Nicky in LA, just read more
