BRITNEY PICKS UP THE BOYS



Britney's motherly instincts are kicking back in y'all!  We spotted Britney Spears and her dad Jamie Spears picking up her sons Jayden James (seen here in the red shirt) and Sean Preston from pre-school in Encino, Calif. this afternoon. It looks their school is already decorated for Halloween (either that or that's the dirtiest day care ever), can't wait to see those little buggers in pumpkin costumes.


        

OUR FIRST LOOK AT ROBERT DOWNEY JR. AS SHERLOCK HOLMES



Even though he's just released RocknRolla, Guy Ritchie is hard at work on his next project.  We spotted Guy and Robert Downy Jr. filming a new screen adaption of Sir Author Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes.

Currently shooting in London, Robert will play the titular character with Jude Law as his sidekick Dr. Watson and Rachel McAdams as Holmes' love interest, Mary.

Robert told the Guardian that Guy was taking on the story in an innovative way (in comparison to previous versions), "[we're] returning to a little bit more of what the stories always had in them and the scale of them and the canvas is so huge I just don't think they've ever had the budget to fully tell the story in a really big, fun way."  Guy Ritchie added, "We're trying to be as authentic as we can to the original Sherlock Holmes. We've tried to include a bit more Conan Doyle in it."

Expect the newest Sherlock Holmes out sometime next year.  Click through the gallery to see a very Charlie Chaplin-esque RDJ doing his thing on set.


             

GOSSIP GUERILLAS ROUND UP



Who's hairy legs are these?! I'll give you a hint; she's got an "errand boy"...yup, it's Gisele!  Upon further inspection of Gisele at the video shoot we noticed that she's got some furry stems; I guess the term supermodel doesn't extend itself to grooming.

Happy Friday!  Word on the street is...

JASON PRIESTLEY IS PUMPED FOR HIS 90210 RETURN



Brandon's back!  Jason Priestley (seen here with his wife Naomi) talked to Ryan Seacrest about his return to Beverly Hills 90210 as a guest director.

"It's going to be a lot of fun to work over there and work with those guys...I just hope Jennie's in the episode-or Shannen's there.  Rob Estes and I have been friends for a long time. It'll be fun."

During the original series, Jason directed 18 episodes and says at the moment her prefers to direct, "In the last two series I've done I sort of played tertiary characters.  In the next show, I need to carry the freight a little more. That's where I need to be."

I'll keep my fingers crossed that Brandon goes for coffee with Brenda at the Peach Pitt, but for now I'll be content with the fact that Jason's involved at all, the "oldies" are really the best part of the show!



ZAC AND VANESSA MOBBED WHILE IN MOTION

Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Effron are back from their High School Musical 3 European tour.  The lovers made their way through LAX and we welcomed home by a crowd of fans and photogs. 



THE HILLS GIRLS PARTY LIKE IT'S 2007



Remember the golden years of The Hills when everyone got along?  Ok, me neither but there was a time when Lauren did have more than one friend.  Those days have seemingly to coming to an end as rumors are flying that LC has been hooking up with Audrina's ex, Justin Bobby

Despite their rocky friendship, Lauren Conrad, Lo Bosworth and Audrina Patridge were all spotted at Winston's in Los Angeles last night to tape the show.  Apparently Audrina arrived and left separately from LC and Lo. 

Ew, Justin Bobby? WHY??? 

Whitney had the right idea to move the eff out and get her own show; these ladies are starting to border on pathetic.


    

JEN AND VIOLET SKIP FROM SCHOOL



We spotted a jubilant Violet Affleck skipping away from her Los Angeles school yesterday.  Violet was probably so peppy because she was being picked up by her mom Jennifer Garner! 

The Garner-Afflecks are preparing for baby number two, which will be born sometime this winter.


        

GISELE PROVES TO US THAT MODELING IS EXHAUSTING



Don't fall asleep, Gisele.  I know standing around and having your picture taken must really wear you out!

While Gisele Bundchen was sitting on that bench she was in fact posing!  Gi was on the set of a music video for the band the Black Cowboys in Los Angeles yesterday.  Gisele strutted and lounged around the set while she was directed by Entourage star Kevin Connolly.  (Fun Fact:  The Black Cowboys are friends with Gisele's ex, Leonardo DiCaprio). 


          

BRITNEY SCREAMS FOR ICE CREAM!



We spotted Britney treating herself to some ice cream yesterday.  The pop princess dressed in a pink and white top and big sunglasses stopped in Los Angeles for a little dessert.

In conjunction with her new album, Britney is releasing a 90-minute documentary about her return to pop music after a very chaotic couple of years.  For the Record will air on MTV on November 30

So much has gone on over the last couple of years and there's a lot that people don't know about me that I want them to know," Spears told MTV News in a statement about the special. "I wanted to make this film because I started to feel like I wasn't being seen in the light that I wanted to be seen in. This is an opportunity to set the record straight and talk about what I've been through and where I'm headed."

SURI CRUISE: "STOP THE THE MADNESS!"



Katie Holmes might be having a good time in Manhattan but Suri Cruise seems to have a love/hate relationship with the city that never sleeps.

Sometimes we see the toddler skipping around town with a giant smile on her face, but other times she looks like she's ready to scream!  Today looked like more of a screaming day as we spotted Suri burying her face into her mom as the two left their apartment.  You may not be feeling the crowds Sur, but I have to say you look really cute with your hair clipped like that!
