The “Gossip Girl” gals were out in full force on Friday afternoon (October 10), filming a new episode of their hit CW drama in the Upper East Side of New York City.

Always stylish, Leighton Meester teamed up with Taylor Momsen to shoot a few scenes, while co-star Blake Lively was also spotted roaming around the set.

Out enjoying the sunny October weather, Britney Spears was spotted picking up her sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, from school in Los Angeles on Friday (October 10).

Accompanied by her father, Jamie Spears, two bodyguards and a nanny, the “Gimme More” singer toted Jayden in her arms while the nanny took care of Sean.

Do you get the idea that filmmakers are seriously running out of ideas, so they’re going into the comic book vault to make or remake every character out there? I do.

Anyway, Josh Brolin is in talks to star in the Warner Bros. adaptation, with Crank helmers Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor directing and writing the script.

Brolin is pretty hot right now, having been busy since he smashed through theaters with his portrayal of Llewelyn Moss in 2007’s No Country For Old Men (which I loved). You can see him next in Oliver Stone’s W. and Gus Van Sant’s Milk. Looking forward to both of those.

Taking her daughter along with her to work today (October 10), Salma Hayek got started with filming duties for her recurring guest role on the Brooklyn Heights set of “30 Rock”.

In the scene, shot in Cadman Plaza Park, Baldwin’s character pays a visit to Hayek’s character during a family picnic. In between takes, Salma made sure to spend time playing with little Valentina - who looked to have gotten a case of the giggles.

Looking as if he just jumped out of bed, Ben Affleck was spotted out and about this morning (October 10) lending a helping hand to his expecting wife Jennifer Garner.

Toting daughter Violet in his arms, the “Good Will Hunting” hunk and his “Juno” bride were in the midst of a schoolhouse drop-off, then off to take care of their daily business before this evening’s big AL Championship Series game featuring Ben’s beloved Boston Red Sox.

This just goes to show you, anyone can get saved!

Thankfully, Perez is already down with Jesus! Can we get an Amen????

As we told you earlier this week, Katy Perry opened up about her personal life in the new issue of Blender magazine, and she also blabbed a bit about her folks too!

And, although most parents aren't perfect, Katy's have an 'interesting' background.

In the mag, she confesses that's that her father, now a preacher, was a druggie back in the day.

Perry said, "My dad would have died from one tab of Strawberry Fields (LSD) too many if he hadn’t found God.”

Aside from her dad being a druggie, turns out her mom, Mary Hudson, had "dated" guitar legend Jimi Hendrix. And, by "dated" she means went out on just one date, unfortunately. She coulda been a Hendrix!!!

Seems her mom wasn't always the best behaved. She once left home to "travel the world." That's when she met and Hendrix -in Spain.

Perry says, "He just came up to her in a club and picked her out."

But, her mom, who's an evangelical Christian preacher now, is still not a fan of her main hit, I Kissed a Girl, since it promotes "sin."

Maybe there's hope for Amy Winehouse after all????

Katy's parents should save Wino!!!!!!

It seems that we can’t get enough of Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, and their 6 adorable kids!  But according to Ang, she was only open to adoption, rather than giving birth, until she met Pitt.

In a recent interview, the “Changeling” babe explained, “I think one of the life changing things that he did, one of many, is that I was absolutely never going to get pregnant. I never felt that it was the right thing to do.”

Hayden Christensen was spotted Thursday on the set of a Lacoste cologne commercial in Downtown Los Angeles.

Gayden was seen sporting a Lacoste polo shirt and hanging from some wires for a stunt.

And still, several feet off the group and suspended by wires, he looks super hot!

Also seen on set was Christensen's beard gal pal, Rachel Bilson and her pooch.

Btween takes, the two were spotted kissing each other. Rachel and Gayden, that is. Not her and the dog, unlike Aubrey O'Day.
