Gwyneth Paltrow and Keri Russell took some time out from promoting their films to read to kids at Village at the Lift in Park City this week. Gwyneth read a Dr. Seuss book and Keri chose Where The Wild Things Are which is one of my favorites. Looks like Keri is getting some good practice in since soon she'll have a little one of her own to read to!

Jennifer is busy promoting her new romantic comedy Catch and Release this week. The film doesn't open until Friday but she's already appeared on The Martha Stewart Show, Live With Regis and Kelly, and GMA. In the film she plays a woman whose fiance dies a few days before their wedding. Afterward she finds out that he wasn't who she thought he was. Jennifer says that doing the film made her be a little more realistic about herself and her relationship. Here's more:

"You can want to see someone as a knight in shining armor and not want to know the other side of them, or see yourself that way and work hard to be perfect and not really let someone know all of you," she said. "This movie kind of teaches you…[to] just go ahead and be everything, let it all hang out."
You mean Ben's not a knight in shining armor? You could have fooled us!

Adrian Grenier, rocking some slightly femme jeans (or is that just me?), stepped out in LA yesterday afternoon. It's nice to see Adrian's hair growing out a little, because the short hair just doesn't seem to suit him as well. I'm sure Kirsten agrees. Yes, I made that up, but she probably does, right?

The 4th season of Entourage isn't coming 'til April, but there's a little sneak peek on the show's MySpace page. Shocker: Vince is having a tough time with his new agent. Just a guess, but methinks he'll return to Ari pretty quickly. Can't ignore the Piv, after all.

2007 has started off looking like a good year for Jessica Simpson. Last year she was at an all time low but now there are no signs of depression or all black looks. Now it's all smiles and acting smitten. It's nice to finally see things turn around for her. She has hit the road with John and the new couple was spotted getting off John's tour bus in Florida, and then again heading out to John's rehearsal. Pimp Daddy Simpson has been unusually quiet about his daughter's new man. Perhaps he is on a vacation but he'll be sure to be back soon since Jess hasn't been able to knock off Britney or JT & Cameron from this weekend's newsstand covers.

Brad and Angelina have settled, for the moment at least, in New Orleans as planned. The couple enrolled Maddox in a local school, so perhaps they'll let him at least finish out the year before their next big trip. Don't they just look so normal dropping Mad off at school? Almost. Brad recently opened up to Newsweek about the effects of family on his acting career. Here's more:

When I started I had this idea that the films I did defined me, and that my life would be interesting based on the characters I'd chosen. I don't feel that way anymore. I'm a father now. There are other things that are important to me. I was chasing something that wasn't fulfilling. I caught myself on the phone the other day—Leo has been playing some real strong men these last few years—and I found myself saying, "I want to play more of a man." I got off the phone and I thought, "No. Live like a man, and the movies will follow."
I think what he meant to say is "Live like Angelina's man, and the paparazzi will follow." That just makes so much more sense.

Cameron is clearly having a great time in Hawaii. When we see her like this it's hard to believe that she really blew up at Justin just over a week ago for flirting with Jessica Biel after the Golden Globes. Now more details have emerged about Cameron's jealous rage when she saw the two together. Here's more:

“Cameron was across the room giving them the evil eye,” says a party source. “It was like high school.”
Another witness says that pal Drew Barrymore even attempted to distract Diaz from her ex’s hookup-in-progress with Biel, “grabbing Cameron to dance, trying to make her have fun.”
“All of a sudden she just lost it,” says one of the many witnesses to the tantrum of Diaz. “She came up and started yelling at Jessica.”
According to a witness, Biel, 24, stepped away, leaving Diaz, 34, to unleash her fury on Timberlake, 25, who moved with her into a hallway.
Says a guest, “First she started saying all these nasty things to him about Jessica like, ‘What is she? Your new f—king girlfriend? Look at her!’ And then she insinuated things about other guys that Jessica has been with.”
The tirade went on for 45 minutes, until Barrymore finally intervened. Says a source, “Drew had to grab Cameron and say, ‘It’s enough.’”
Oof. Doesn't sound pretty but we understand how losing JT could incite hysteria in just about anyone. It's a good thing that Cammie got out of Hollywood for a bit. There's nothing like a famous, hot surfer boy to take your mind off a bad break-up.

Katie Holmes may be in Paris to attend this week's Couture shows with Victoria Beckham, but that doesn't mean she can't use a little more fashion education. After doing a little shopping for Suri, Katie hit up a Paris bookstore and, from the looks of it, she bought some picture books on fashion. Maybe she learned the tough lesson that in a French bookstore, the word-based books will primarily be written in French.

I can't blame her for wanting to brush up on her Couture intellect. She's only been involved in the high fashion (and high celebrity) world for a couple of years, after all. Little Joey Potter who only wore Abercrombie and Fitch* would never dream of becoming a front row runway show kind of gal.
*In case you can't tell, I sometimes have trouble keeping actors and their characters separated in my head. Please forgive.
