Nicole Richie (with long blonde extensions in her hair), has lunch with friends at an outdoor restaurant in Los Angeles. She seemed to enjoy her meal as she bit enthusiastically into her sandwich, and licked her fingers afterward.

I sure am loving the new look! And I’m also loving the fact that she is eating and actually enjoying the food. Keep it up Nicole!

Forget Mischa Barton! Rachel Bilson has talent and beauty! Enjoy these gorgeous scans from the May issue of In Style magazine.

Honolulu, Hawaii :: ‘Lost’ actress Michelle Rodriguez was released from prison Friday morning after spending about 64 hours behind bars.

She was released at about 6:30 a.m. Her release was expedited, according to Oahu Community Correctional Center Warden Nolan Espinda.

A judge on Tuesday gave Rodriguez the choice of a five-day jail sentence or 240 hours of community service for pleading guilty to drunken driving.

Rodriguez was to spend only four calendar days in jail because of time served when she was arrested.

No media were present when she was released. On Thursday, Espinda told KITV that the earliest Rodriguez could get out was 8 a.m. Friday.

Rodriguez turned herself in to the Kaneohe District Court a little after 2 p.m. on Tuesday after receiving a four-day jail sentence. With her release Friday morning, that means she spent less than three full days in prison.

Espinda said Rodriguez wasn’t given special treatment. He said when a person is in custody, any portion of a single day counts as a day.

Espinda says Rodriguez’ release was expedited but he doesn’t know why.

Normally, the inmates that need to be transferred to court go first and then the prison releases happen. Espinda said perhaps that process happened faster than he anticipated.

OCCC’s warden said Rodriguez stayed in a dorm with 60 other female inmates. She ate three times a day and could watch TV and read and she had to keep her area clean, Espinda said. Unlike Rodriguez’ bad girl dramas on “Lost” the warden said the actress’ stay in prison was uneventful and that she acted graciously.

It may not be the last time Rodriguez gets locked up. She faces 18 months in prison at a probation violation hearing next month, stemming from a DUI conviction in California.

Extremely stupid! She deserves to be in there a lot longer. She could’ve killed somebody! And since this is her second DUI charge she is most probably just gonna go out and drive under the influence again! Very very stupid. If you ever see Michelle Rodriguez driving somewhere, I say take another route cause she might just be drunk!

So apparently Kelly Clarkson suffers (or should I say suffered thanks to the wonder that is ProActiv) from bad acne. Watch the commercial after the jump!

The Lost Man, Found
Josh Holloway of Lost shows what it takes to build your own paradise

Just 2 years ago, Los Angelenos were on the verge of having Sawyer pushing property at them. Josh Holloway — who plays the simmering, serpent-tongued con man on ABC’s megahit Lost — was that close to having his face on a “for sale” shingle, rather than on the small screen as the most intriguing character on TV’s most intriguing show. The 36-year-old actor had taken the real-estate exam in 2004, because, as he says, he “couldn’t buy an acting job.”

And it’s fun to picture his pitch, delivered in his cocky Georgia drawl: “Ma’am, this joint’s got an ocean view, and the school system’s a peach. I’ll take a 3 percent commission, but I need cash up front. Itty-bitty bills, if you please.” With his shaggy hair, his scruff of a beard, and his sly eyes, you have to wonder if anybody would have trusted him with a down payment. Of course, Holloway in the flesh puts considerable distance between himself and his character: He’s a hell of a lot more gregarious and hilarious than his TV alter ego.

Isn’t it funny, she actually looks like how Pink looks in the tanning scene in her ‘Stupid Girl’ video.

Jessica Simpson heads to her Beverly Hills gym Wednesday to work things out. Sources close to her tell PEOPLE that the singer was “surprised and upset” about a tell-all interview with ex Nick Lachey. “She was heartbroken.”

Who needs an It bag? Mischa Barton’s favorite accessory is her new pooch, which she toted to a lunch date with boyfriend Cisco Adler in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

If that puppy was mine it would be my favorite accessory too. Just look at it, 100% cuteness!
