The Girls Hit The Town

Shakira and Penelope Cruz partied into the early hours of Wednesday at the Box on the lower East Side.

The two hung out in the balcony sipping drinks and watching the sexy burlesque show.

John Mayer Is Popular

Sources say that John Mayer has made a new friend in Penelope Cruz.

Penelope Cruz and her new BFF, Shakira, attended an after-party at Hollywood hot spot Parc following John's June 10 concert, according to our witness. But Shaki was nowhere to be found when John was spotted entering Penelope's digits into his phone.

Mayer has been single barely a month since his final breakup with Jessica Simpson.

Something tells me if that man ever loses his cell phone in a taxi, he’s never getting it back.

Britney And Her BFF Cousin

Britney Spears has transferred her codpendancy from Kevin Federline/Paris Hilton/Howie Day onto her BFF/Assistant/Cousin Alli Sims.

Alli has been with Brit through all her trail, tribulations, tattoos and headshavings over the past three months, and in appreciation, Brit takes Alli with her all over the world on unauthorized vacations with her kids and takes her shopping with her like she used to take that stupid little dog.


Her new thing now is to dress Alli just like her. It’s sort of like Alli is a creepy ‘My Size Barbie Britney’ doll. It’s either that or young Alli actually thinks Britney dresses cool and wants to be like her and that kids, is just too sad for us to admit.

Keira And Sienna BFF

Sienna Miller and Keira Knightley have become the best of friends on the set of their new film, The Edge of Love, about famed poet Dylan Thomas.

They’ve become so close, in fact, that they’re house hunting for cottages adjacent to one another. In the film the two feisty, free-spirited women are connected by the charismatic poet, who loves them both. As we revealed earlier this week, 25-year-old Sienna stepped into the role of Caitlin MacNamara - Thomas’s wife - in the movie when Lindsay Lohan pulled out after she was asked to take a drugs test.

We’re told Sienna and 22- year-old Keira have become inseparable on the set in New Quay, Wales, so much so they are currently househunting for neighbouring cottages overlooking the sea there.

We’re told, "Sienna and Keira feel it would be great to have homes there and go on joint holidays once filming stops, so they can keep up their friendship."

Lindsay Tries Girls

Los Angeles - Lindsay Lohan is rumoured to be having a lesbian affair.

The ‘Mean Girls’ star – who is currently in Japan for a fashion shoot – is said to be more than just friends with DJ Samantha Ronson, who has accompanied her on her trip.

Former publicist Jonathan Jaxson wrote in his blog: “Lindsay actually has always been quite open. Maybe she was tired of the boys and that is why she decided to spice it up with BFF Samantha Ronson.

“Now I would have no bad things to say about either if Samantha wasn’t deeply involved in alcohol and drugs. Not the best influence for a rehabbed Lindsay Lohan.”

Jaxson claims Lindsay and Samantha’s fledgling same-sex romance has been confirmed by his sources.

Lindsay, 20, arrives in London next month to begin shooting ‘The Best Time of Our Lives’ - a biopic about the love life of poet Dylan Thomas - alongside Keira Knightley.

Sophie Monk's New Friends

Dating fraternal twins Joel Madden and Benji Madden, has been a bonding experience for Nicole Richie and Aussie singer/actress Sophie Monk. The two have been inseperable the past few weeks as the Madden brothers, both 27, have been on tour with their band Good Charlotte.

Benji just recently proposed to the stunning Sophie Monk, 27, on Christmas Eve, presenting her with a 3.5-carat diamond and platinum engagement ring by star jeweler Neil Lane.

While Nicole Richie, 25, and Joel have only been dating a short time, friends of the star tell Celebrity Babylon she is serious about her tattood boyfriend.

"She flew all the way to Japan last week to be with him," says the source, "she is really into the guy, it's serious."

For his part, friends say Joel is completely over his previous love Hilary Duff, 19.

"It's like Hilary, who?"

Instead of being with her recently reunited Simple Life BFF Paris Hilton, 25, Richie is constantly enjoying the simple things with her new BFF Sophie, like trips to LAX to send their guys off with steamy public make-out sessions, or sojourns to a vegan restaurant for figure slimming organic meals.

Could all this togetherness mean that there is a double wedding on the way?
