| CAUGHT IN THE ACT! Blog |
• Lindsay Lohan and girlfriend Samantha Ronson, attempting to stop into the laid-back Melrose Avenue watering hole
The Snake Pit. Alas, the couple's evening was cut short at the door. Why?
Lohan, 22, and Ronson, 31, were unable to produce ID – and the doorman
was forced to turn them away. Meanwhile, inside, Kirsten Dunst happily hung with her friends.
• Diddy, sitting in the second
row at Madonna's Madison Square Garden concert alongside
Rosie O'Donnell and Michael Kors. The music
mogul, whose arm is in a sling, spent much of the show seated, texting away
on his iPhone. But when Madonna sang "You Must Love Me," Diddy leapt to his
feet and threw his hands – well, hand – in the air, screaming, "We
love you!" The rapper piped up again, laughing hysterically when one of
Madonna's flamenco dancers began tap dancing. And O'Donnell got some
attention, too: When Madonna fell into the lap of one of
her dancers, she looked over her shoulder and winked at her good friend.
• Michael Phelps may stay mum about his personal life, but at
a bash celebrating New York's Bowlmor Lanes' 70th anniversary, the
Olympian's actions spoke volumes. While he bowled with a group of pals,
college friend (and petite brunette) Marina Katz never left his
side. In fact, the pair enthusiastically exchanged kisses on the cheek and
hugs whenever they scored strikes. Phelps also sat close to his friend,
keeping his arm around her.
• Serena Williams isn't above a good bargain. The tennis
champ ducked into L.A.'s Beverly Center, stopping at Forever 21 with a
female friend and a teenage girl. "Serena wanted to take a look at an
accessories rack across the way and made sure to check in on the young girl
who was standing in line," says a fellow shopper. Apparently, a kiosk of
bangles and earrings caught Williams' eye.
• MTV's bisexual bachelorette Tila Tequila took her party to
West Hollywood's Coco de Ville, grabbing a booth right in front of the
deejay, which she shared with Danity Kane singer D. Woods. Tila was in the mood to dance, though, and barely sat down all
night, getting busy to tunes like ZZ Top's "Sharp Dressed Man."
• Just hours after Misty May-Treanor announced that an
injury was forcing her to leave Dancing with the Stars, much of the DWTS crew hit L.A. club Coco de Ville to celebrate ex-contestant Jeff Ross' DVD Jeff Ross No Offense: Live from New Jersey. While Cheryl Burke helped Ross blow out the candles on a sheet cake
at the Dewars White Label-hosted bash, pals Dane Cook, Lance Bass and former dancer partner Edyta Sliwinska gathered around to
serenade the funnyman with "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow."

• Fergie, making a new friend as she checked into
the Hotel Monaco in Seattle. In town to perform at the Puyallup Fair &
Events Center, "she walked into the lobby," an observer tells us, "and was
making a beeline for the elevator, but then she stopped at the concierge desk
when she saw a dog walking through." Fergie then ran
over to pet the pooch. "It was cute," the observer says. "She was actually
'oohing' and 'ahhing.'"
• Jessica Simpson, making a brief (and accidental)
foray into political territory – literally. The singer and her
entourage (including, of course, maltipoo Daisy) crossed paths with John McCain and his own entourage at the Tampa International Airport, in an
area reserved for private planes and charter flights. Simpson
and the Republican presidential candidate never interacted, but the newly
minted country star was being followed by a video camera.
• After spending Fashion Week in New York, Hilary Swank returned to Los Angeles to focus on her own image. The Oscar winner
swung by Neil George Salon to dye her hair back from blonde to her natural
brown. "She couldn't wait to get back to brunette," a source tells us.
(Swank, of course, colored and cropped her hair for her role as Amelia
Earhart in the biopic Amelia.) In total, the process took about four
hours, and when Swank was finished she snuck out the front door, all bundled
up.
• Lauren Conrad, advertising her own collection
with a badge while eating breakfast at the Coterie trade show in New York.
Days before her Big Apple trip, the Hills star was spotted at
Dame Elizabeth Taylor's favorite haunt, West Hollywood's The Abbey, where she posed for pictures
with fans.
• After a big New York premiere, Ugly Betty castmembers
America Ferrera, Vanessa Williams, Becki Newton and Eric Mabius continued the celebration at Highbar in New York.
But they had a surprise guest star at the party – Lindsay Lohan, who also arrived on the red carpet at the event. She
briefly visited the bash, sipping Shirley Temples, bouncing to the music and chatting with some
friends.
Also Spotted ... • Serena Williams and Josh Groban, watching rapper
Common's show – with opening act N.E.R.D. – at
the Wiltern in Los Angeles. ... Jewel, walking through the lobby
of the Alexis Hotel in Seattle in her sports bra and pink shorts. "Clearly
she had just come from a workout," an onlooker tells us about the petite
singer.

| SERENA WILLIAMS TO PEN MEMOIR Blog |
Fresh off her U.S. Open win, Serena Williams is set to serve up her first memoir, which her publisher says will feature "a motivational slant."
Slated to be released in 2009 by Grand Central Publishing, the book will offer Williams's "physical and emotional setbacks," the publisher said in a statement to the Associated Press.
In 2007, Williams, 26, told PEOPLE of her temporary tennis slump a year earlier, "I went through a lot ... but I am totally on my own now. I'm always going to just be Serena."
