Today is National Moldy Cheese Day — YUM! — and I thought it would be a great opportunity to play a new game I'm calling: Moldy Cheese or French Chateau? If you consider yourself a cheese aficionado, or maybe just someone who loves French castles, then this is the game for you.

When shopping for white wine, I usually steer clear of overly sweet Rieslings. However, one Riesling I can't get enough of is Eroica. It's a rich, fruity wine from Washington state that is developed with a complex mix of old-world meets new-world techniques.

John Krasinski is making a habit of saying "Away We Go" lately — this time to a new 2,640-square-foot, three-bedroom, four-bath gated mid-century home in LA. His $1.9 million purchase sits high above Hollywood's legendary Chateau Marmont hotel on what real estate agents deem a "celebrity cul-de-sac." So, Krasinski should feel right at home among his VIP cronies.

A while back, Party and I received a breathtakingly striking bottle of Vins Gagliardi L'Engarran. Designed by video-game producer American McGee and award-wining artist Ken Wong, this wine is a must-have for any geek's collection, but will be wonderfully appreciated by many others too. The first in a series of "dark fairytales," this label features Rapunzel on a bottle of L'Engarran.

Anthropologie has done it again. The Chateau Lamp ($1,598) is every little girl's dream, but I also believe I've seen it myself during REM sleep. This palatial wirework rendering with curlicue turrets, squiggly eaves, and a floor of book leaves is not only a dollhouse of sorts (with a mini table, set of chairs, and glass and bottle of wine inside!), but also a table lamp!

It was a three-outfit day for Lindsay Lohan, who was spotted in blue bell bottoms at the Chateau Marmont and in a black hat heading back to her house with a soda. She saved her third ensemble for dinner with Samantha and a friend at Dominick's. As LL makes her rounds in LA, it turns out she doesn't have to worry about selling an apt in NYC after all — apparently she doesn't really own the place and was just crashing there in exchange for helping promote the new chi-chi building.

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi were at the Chateau Marmont in LA last night for Ellen's 51st birthday celebration. The couple looked happy to get the party started hand-in-hand as they headed into the event. In addition to getting a gift of bubble wrap from Amy Poehler yesterday, Ellen had one more special present on her big day — her TV program was nominated in the category of Outstanding Talk Show Episode at this year's GLAAD Media Awards.
