Jessica and Cash Hit a Ruff Patch

As if about-to-give-birth Jessica Alba doesn’t have enough to worry about, her dogs went MIA the other day.
I’m happy to report they weren’t lost for long, and they’re back home with Ms. Alba.
But here’s what went down:
Does She Call Gwen Stefani "Mommy"?
Alexei Hay/GQ
There’s no doubt in my mind the teen daughter of Gwen Stefani’s hubby, Gavin Rossdale, could well be on her way to becoming New York City’s next It girl.
Nineteen-year-old British model Daisy Lowe—it was revealed five years ago that Rossdale is her father—has just moved to the Big Apple and is already proving she’s got chutzpah and a deliciously dirty mouth.
Felicity Huffman's Desperate Smackdown
ABC
Did Felicity Huffman really hit 11-year-old Rachel Fox while shooting last Sunday’s episode of Desperate Housewives—and will the slap come back to haunt her during the upcoming two-hour season finale?
Either way, Rachel ain’t spillin’.
But no need to call Child Protective Services. It was all part of a day’s work when Huffman’s Lynette Scavo smacked her evil stepdaughter, Kayla, played by Rachel.
When I asked Rachel this morning just how real the slap was, she laughed, “Did it look real to you?”
When I told her it did, she simply said, “Good.”
And that's not the only thing she's clamming up about...
Charlize Theron: Kids, Yes; Wedding, No!
W Magazine
No need trying to figure out when Charlize Theron and Stuart Townsend will tie the knot.
“I always knew that I didn’t want to get married,” Theron, 32, says in the new issue of W magazine. But she adds, “I’ve always known that I’d be a mom from the time I was a little girl.”
As for their seven-year-romance, Theron, no surprise, won’t reveal too much. When asked to describe the relationship, the Oscar winner adopts a “cavewoman grunt,” according to writer Gabriel Snyder, and says:
Sightings: Lauren, Milo and Brooke

PANTY PARTY: Lauren Bosworth, Lauren Conrad and Stephanie Pratt, picking up some Spreegirl underwear at the Wango Tango concert gift lounge in Los Angeles.

Mario Lopez Likes to Get Naked
Barry King/WireImage.com
Mario Lopez has nothing to be ashamed about when it comes to his body.
But even he has his limits.
The former Dancing With the Stars contestant told me Playgirl has come calling. “I politely declined,” he said with a laugh. “It’s not something for me at the moment. But it’s ironic, because I’m, like, ‘nature boy.’ I’m always running around the house in underwear or nothing.”
Lopez didn’t invite me to hang at his place, but no matter. Just check out his new book, Mario Lopez’s Knockout Fitness.

Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo Still in Play
Fame Pictures
The breakup buzz keeps getting louder for Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo. But her camp is shooting down the split rumors.
“Not true, not true,” Simpson’s rep tells me. “I spoke to Jess yesterday and the day before. They are still together.”
And while Romo spent the weekend in Chicago, sans Jess, expect a reunion any minute now: The quarterback will be Simpson’s date when little sister Ashlee marries Pete Wentz this weekend, a source tells me.
But what about those photos that hit the Web today of Romo partying in the Windy City with a mystery blonde?
There was no hanky-panky, another source tells me. In fact, the source reports, the young woman has a serious boyfriend: “She’s a doll and they did have fun at the club, but nothing happened with Tony!”
Fit for a McQueen

Janet Jackson was at last night’s opening of Alexander McQueen’s new store in Los Angeles. So were Balthazar Getty, Eve, Anthony Kiedis, Ioan Gruffudd and Sex and the City hunk Jason Lewis.
But the spotlight was definitely centered on Beth Ditto and her band, Gossip.
The singer's five-song set was hands-in-the-air fun! She wore custom McQueen: a form-hugging red sequined bodysuit (later changing into a rainbow colored butterfly-printed chiffon number); she swiped cigarettes from fans so she could smoke while singing; she grabbed a photographer’s camera to take some pics and even climbed on top of a very unsteady table to rally the crowd to sing along with her.
But even the 27-year-old has her limits...

Sarah Jessica Parker on Sex, Shoes and Miley Cyrus
Flynetonline.com
Sarah Jessica Parker jetted to England a couple of days ago for the start of an almost two-week European tour in support of Sex and the City through London, Berlin and Paris.
But before you think how Carrie Bradshaw it all sounds, you should know she doesn’t like being away from hubby Matthew Broderick and 5-year-old son James Wilkie for too long.
So she has a plan to keep in touch with her little man. "I speak to him probably three times a day, and we have a whole system of staying in touch,” Parker told me over the phone from London. "And Matthew is, I must say, brilliantly handling things. I’m so impressed!"
Sweet, no? So then let's get to the Sex, shall we? Read on for my exclusive one-on-one with SJP. We talk about Mr. Big, her favorite SATC episode and why her son won’t be watching the hit HBO series for many more years to come...
OMFG! Heidi & Spencer Skip a Hills Party?

UPDATE: I just heard back from Montag's rep on why she wasn't at the party.
Two words: "Not invited."
________________________
Photo-opportunists Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are no-shows at the Hills season finale party happening right now at a private mansion in Beverly Hills.
That's weird, right?
“It’s not weird to me,” Lauren "L.C." Conrad told reporters as she walked into the party.
Conrad also insisted she had nothing to do with it one way or another. Montag's missed big parties for the MTV hit series before, including one in L.A. and another in NYC.
“I have no control over the guest list,” Conrad said.
But Pratt's sister, Stephanie, is in the house...
