Dressed casually as she awaited a departing flight, Bar Refaeli was spotted making her way through LAX Airport on Sunday (February 1).

Wearing a Boston Bruins cap, white v-neck t-shirt and navy Abercrombie & Fitch sweats, the sexy Israeli supermodel pulled her luggage as she chatted on her cell phone before disappearing past the security checkpoint.

While his ex, Lauren Conrad, was celebrating her 23rd birthday in Las Vegas, Brody Jenner was sucking face on the red carpet for Maxim’s Super Bowl party.

His partner in PDA? His girlfriend, Playmate of the Year Jayde Nicole. And we are talking serious PDA, people. Is this the middle school dance or what?

Marveling at his continued ability to land hot chicks despite having no job whatsoever, Brody Jenner mauls girlfriend Jayde Nicole in Florida.

Ah, to be young, rich, in love and mugging for the celebrity gossip cameras 24/7/365. The life of the Bromance star is as wonderful as his reality show is terrible.

We're not sure what Brody is doing with his hands in some of these pics - or why Doug Reinhardt appears in one - but click to enlarge more images of the couple:

Performing for the very first time since her unthinkable family tragedy last year, Jennifer Hudson sang her heart out at Super Bowl XLIII in Tampa on Sunday evening (February 1).

Clad in a white top, cropped jacket and leggings with gold jewelry, the 27-year-old “American Idol” star walked out before the game - being led up onto a small round stage where she took a deep breath before launching into the National Anthem.

Forget touchbacks, kick offs and intentional groundings.

The real excitement of Super Bowl week involves celebrities, parties and celebrities at parties!

From the First Couple of Football (Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush) to the First Couple of Pretend Lesbianism (Samantha Ronson and Lindsay Lohan), stars turned out all across Tampa this weekend.

Britney Spears is prepared to cancel her upcoming Circus tour if lawyers for ex-husband Kevin Federline continue to block an agreement allowing her to take the kids on the road, according to a report on celeb news site TMZ.

For weeks, Britney, K-Fed and her father Jamie Spears have been privately hashing out a plan to let the kids travel with Britney on her world tour.

The plan is to have homes in three bases - New Jersey, New Orleans and Los Angeles. Sean Preston and Jayden James would stay in one of these three bases and mom would commute back and forth while doing concerts in each region.

Then there's this strange fact: Britney Spears is prepared to pay the FedEx man in excess of $4,000 per week for every week in which she's on tour.

The way the deal goes... Britney would get Kevin his own pad in each of the three "bases" and he wouldn't even have to show up to get the money! Why, you ask, would she pay him if he doesn't show? You can figure it out.

Is The Circus Starring Britney Spears, set to kick off March 3, in jeopardy?

Here's the deal: Britney, K-Fed and Jamie - who also got restraining orders against three shady characters from Britney's past in what's been an active week for him - worked out the arrangement without the help of any lawyers.

A week ago, however, attorneys for Kevin Federline became aware of the plan and were furious, thinking that Jamie Spears went behind their backs.

Now K-Fed's lawyers say they object to the plan but won't specifically say why, and Kevin apparently doesn't have the cojones to stand up to them.

Britney Spears - who now has close to a 50-50 custody arrangement in place and a long-term agreement worked out with K-Fed which would extend said arrangement - WILL cancel the tour if she can't take her kids. Stay tuned ...

Aspiring fashionista Whitney Port may be sufficiently blond and likable to pass as a reality TV star. But everyone agrees she's no Lauren Conrad.

That may be trouble, not only for Port's fledgling show, The City, a spinoff of the hugely successful The Hills, but for the whole documentary-soap genre that Lauren and her cohorts pioneered, according to the UK's Globe and Mail.

Lauren Conrad will return for her fifth season of The Hills this spring, but her show is clearly nearing an end: Last fall's Season Four ratings were down 25 percent, and LC herself has indicated she may be tiring of being filmed.

Therefore, The City, which was renewed for a second season this week, may hold the future of MTV's flagship franchise in its fumbling little hands.

The new show has certainly struggled to keep the format alive.

Last week, Whitney Port and her gang were getting together at an art opening, knowing that model Alli would be in the same room with the same woman who had allegedly kissed her boyfriend while she was out of town on a fashion shoot.

But as Whitney dutifully discussed the tense situation with her colleague at DVF, Olivia Palermo, and then with her Aussie rocker boyfriend, Jay Lyon, nobody really seemed all that interested in this manufactured City crisis.

Moreover, Olivia Palermo even interrupted Port midstream to tell her this was, like, TMI, a ghastly faux pas in this celebrity gossip-dependent genre.

“Jay doesn't know why [Whitney Port] cares, and Olivia doesn't care at all,” offered Jessi Cruickshank, co-host of The After Show, an MTV Canada series devoted to dissecting the lives of the apparently real people on these youth soaps.

So can MTV trust Whitney Port to carry this show - and people to watch?

Michael Phelps is a better boyfriend than he is a swimmer.

With controversy swirling around girlfriend Caroline Pal and her racy photos, the Olympic champion has taken the focus off his oft-nude gal pal by getting himself photographed smoking marijuana.

The incident took place in November, months after Phelps captured eight gold medals at the Beijing Olympics, at a University Of South Carolina house party. Said a witness:

“He looked just as natural with a bong in his hands as he does swimming in the pool. He was the gold medal winner of bong hits."

What a competitor! Such intense drive is a necessary component for champions such as Phelps, Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant.

Phelps apologized for the incident over the weekend.

"I engaged in behavior which was regrettable and demonstrated bad judgment... I acted in a youthful and inappropriate way, not in a manner that people have come to expect from me. For this, I am sorry. I promise my fans and the public -- it will not happen again."

It's okay, Michael. The photo above is almost enough to help us forget about the aforementioned shots of your girlfriend.. Almost...

How is this for irony?

Chanelle Hayes realy wants to make it a big in Hollywood.

The former UK Big Brother contestant is trying to accomplish that goal... by dating the smallest actor on the planet!

According to various sources, Hayes has been spotted around London with Verne Troyer. Insiders claim Mini Me is even trying to fulfill his new gal's dream and land her a part in the upcoming Austin Power sequel.

“I am such a massive fan of Austin Powers, I love those movies. If the chance came up for a part, I’d jump at it," Hayes said this weekend.

Remember what happened the last time Troyer dated someone?

Can a Chanelle Hayes sex tape really be that far behind?
