The Hills star Lauren Conrad and her two BFFs and roommates - Audrina Patridge and Lauren Bosworth - went shopping in Hollywood on Friday.

The three gal pals are undoubtedly psyched to be living together in the new L.A. home that Lauren Conrad recently purchased.

"Last weekend Lo, Audrina and I moved into our new house. We love it!" said the star of The Hills, which returns March 24 (see sneak preview).

On their shopping excursion, the trio picked up household items for their home at Crate & Barrel and grabbed lunch at Baja Fresh.

The Hills' version of the Cashmere Mafia: Audrina, LC and Lo.

In other Lauren Conrad news, the cutie was also was seen holding her new pet puppy, Chloe, late last week. LC adopted her!

"On Monday, I got a puppy from the pound," Lauren said.

"She is the cutest puppy ever! Her name is Chloe. She's a lab/shepherd mix. I'm not getting much sleep because she thinks night time is play time. Ashes (my cat) is not thrilled with her, but I think they will become friends."

Having not been railed from behind by any brothers of Brandy recently - and with her reality TV show's second season a couple weeks away from premiering - Kim Kardashian hasn't been making celebrity gossip headlines these days.

It makes us sad. We miss The Tush.

Therefore, assuming our loyal readers feel the same emptiness in their daily lives, we've devised the following Kim Kardashian photo tribute. Click on the following thumbnails now for larger versions of each picture. Enjoy!

The top two spots on this week's American Idol Power Poll hold healthy leads over the rest of the field. That's what happens when you make Paula Abdul cry and sing Simon Cowell's theme song with such restraint and beauty.

Here are the current rankings:

1. David Archuleta: Imagine him as American Idol champion. It's easy if you can. No hell below us. Above us only sky. Imagine all the people. Living for today, and this 17-year old singer.

2. Brooke White: Given a guitar, a stool and the Carly Simon hit song "You're So Vain," White sky-rocketed to this ranking after last week's performance. We hope viewers reward her relaxed vocal stylings over other, louder singers.

3. Michael Johns: Bit of a complacent audition last week, but Johns still has the look and the talent to remain in the top three. No one else stepped up to take it from him.

4. Asiah Epperson: The young beauty chose a difficult song last week, but her version of "All By Myself" wasn't nearly as atrocious as Simon made it out to be. Still has the look and personality to go far.

5. Carly Smithson: Sang "Crazy On You" last week, but we still can't say we're too crazy about Smithson. The talent is obviously there, but is yet to break through. Might be saving epic, David Archuleta-like performance for later rounds.

It's been so long since our last Gummi Bear sighting.

Back then, he was just doing his thing - taking vacations even though he has no job, flipping off celeb gossip media, looking portly.

This weekend, however? Jason Davis was busted for cocaine.

The grandson of the late oil tycoon Marvin Davis and the brother of Brandon "Greasy Bear" Davis was stopped by LAPD traffic cops on Friday night.

Cops tell TMZ that they found a controlled substance on his person - and then arrested Gummi Bear and threw his ass in jail at around 7:30 p.m.

Jason "Gummi Bear" Davis makes Brandon "Greasy Bear" Davis look healthy.

Jason Davis was booked at 4 a.m. Law enforcement officers say he called a person he said was his stepfather who came at about 1:30 p.m. on Saturday and posted $10,000 bail. Hard to imagine where he came up with the cash.

Law enforcement sources later reported to the media that the controlled substance Jason Davis was busted with was, in fact, cocaine.

Poor Gummi Bear. Reports say the ursine specimen got popped by LAPD on Ventura Blvd. in Van Nuys, Calif., and is due back in court on March 10.

Live from New York it's... Hillary Clinton! After ripping last week's episode in an actual debate, the former First Lady slipped off the campaign trail and made a surprise appearance on Saturday Night Live.

The show began with a satire of Tuesday night's Democratic debate, poking fun at Clinton's stance on health care and the softball questions posed to her chief rival for the Democratic nomination, Barack Obama.

"Life is too short to deal with this awful woman. Just give her what she wants," Amy Poehler as Clinton said.

Following the SNL skit, Hillary Clinton appeared to praise the "reenactment ... sort of," she said, standing next to Amy Poehler wearing a matching outfit.

"The campaign is going well," Clinton said when asked by her impersonator how things have been progressing. "Why? What have you heard?"

Hillary Clinton then exclaimed the trademark line that has opened the show for three decades, "Live from New York, it's Saturday night!"

Ellen Page hosted the show, with Wilco - a band hailing from Chicago that has endorsed Barack Obama - as the musical guest.

It's safe to assume that Sophie Monk is as grossed out by Paris Hilton and Benji Madden as we are.

But the model/actress is at least taking the high road when it comes to this new relationship. Despite the immediacy with which Madden started dating Hilton after he and Monk were broken up, Sophie harbors no ill will toward either half of the ugly couple.

"Let me make this as plain as possible â€" Benji did not leave me for Paris Hilton," Monk said. "Benji and I did not break up badly or anything like that. We both decided, as adults, our relationship had run its course and decided to move on. I feel no animosity towards Benji and Paris at all and am very happy with life at the moment."

Yes, Benji Madden left this for Paris Hilton.

On Friday, Paris left a jewelry store in Beverly Hills wearing a ring on her engagement finger, but declined to reveal whether she had wedding plans.

That sound you just heard was Stavros Niarchos crying.

Our apologies to millions of teenage boys around the world - and probably a handful of girls - but Miley Cyrus has revealed her latest crush. And it isn't any of you.

"Ryan Cabrera is really cute," the Hannah Montana star told Us Weekly, adding that her famous father, Billy Ray Cyrus, would approve of the singer as her beau: "He's a friend of my dad's!"

You'd think that a man who, despite being born in the Paleozoic Era, gets ridden by a naked Holly Madison on a frequent basis would have standards.

Not the case, at least in regards to his famous magazine. Hugh Hefner reportedly wants naked Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen to pose for Playboy.

The 81-year-old men's magazine mogul - who originally asked the twins to model for him when they turned 18 three years ago - but was turned down - hopes the girls will accept his invitation to appear in a June issue.

The Olsen Twins turn 22 on June 13.

A source said: "Hugh Hefner thinks the twins are every young man's fantasy. But it may not be that easy getting them agree to pose for Playboy. They're all about high-end fashion these days. They want to do Vogue."

NOTE TO HUGH: The Olsen Twins are moderately cute on their best days, sort of resemble trolls and dress like grandmothers. Hayden Panettiere, though ...

NOTE TO FANS: Speaking of the Olsens, don't forget to play this week's new edition of our Caption Contest, featuring the gruesome twosome!

Hef also wants Lindsay Lohan to appear in Playboy and recreate the Marilyn Monroe naked swim from her movie Something's Got to Give.

A new New York Magazine shoot featuring Lindsay Lohan nude paid homage to the sexual icon Monroe. The racy shoot proved so popular that the magazine's website crashed under the massive volume of hits.

NOTE: We had a similar problem with that Vanessa Hudgens naked fiasco.

"Now we hear Lindsay is tempted to continue her nude homage to MM," Liz Smith wrote in the New York Post earlier this week.

"Playboy's Hugh Hefner has offered the young star the chance to re-create Marilyn's nude swim from the unfinished film Something's Got To Give."

We can only hope, fans of Lindsay Lohan naked. We can only hope.

Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am, whose "Yes We Can" music video aimed to boost the presidential hopes of Barack Obama, has released an encore.

His recent effort is a monochromatic, multi-lingual, celeb-studded music video titled "We Are The Ones," and is terrific, just like the first.

Backed by music, the Democratic candidate himself speaking and the vocal refrain of "O-BA-MA! O-BA-MA!," celebrities like Jessica Alba, Ryan Phillippe, George Lopez and many others offer reasons why they support their man.

"I would like to see a cleaner Earth for my child that I'm bringing into the world very soon," says Jessica Alba, who is expecting with fiance Cash Warren.

Says Philippe: "It's time for a change. I want a better a future for my children."

Regardless of how you feel about Barack Obama and his presidential candidacy, this is very cool. Check it out, it's worth your time...
