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.

Robert Pattinson stepped out in LA today, and he couldn't stop from getting mobbed as he exited a Rite Aid in Hollywood. He just arrived in California yesterday and looked refreshed after a good night's sleep. Speaking of last night, he was apparently shacked up with Kristen Stewart at the Chateau Marmont.

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!

Saturday Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart spent another day together around LA. The two were spotted having lunch at Palihouse Hotel with a couple of friends. They also enjoyed the view from a balcony back at the Chateau Marmont, where they spent time on Friday.

Kate Bosworth broke out her jean shorts Friday for a stop at the Byron & Tracey Salon in LA. She showed off her well-maintained hair Saturday at the Spike Scream Awards, also joining the evening's best dressed ladies. Kate managed to raise a few eyebrows by looking awfully cozy with True Blood's Alexander Skarsgard, who she met filming Straw Dogs earlier this year.

Angelina Jolie braved the rainy LA weather on Wednesday for a meeting at Sony Studios. She popped over to California from France, where she's been hunkering down with her family when she and Brad aren't off traveling with twins Knox and Vivienne. Both Angelina and Brad are enjoying a break from their hectic work schedules, though there were recent rumors that she is taking over for Charlize Theron in the thriller The Tourist.

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.
