The bright, young and lovely Kate Hudson will not be held down. You won’t find her drowning her sorrows or cocooning with an industrial-size vat of ice cream and a Yoo-hoo chaser. Or even a Vicodin nightcap.

No! Beautiful Kate puts on a bikini, gets right back on the hot-famous-guy horse (or his-and-hers bikes) and tries, tries again.

And, good for her. Dax Shepard, her latest squeeze, is pretty hot. Maybe even hotter than Owen Wilson, though the Butterscotch Stallion has his own…er…unique charm.

She was recently seen frolicking with Shepard near her family’s vacation home and has apparently introduced him to the ’rents and to her daughter…we mean, son, Ryder. So, it could be an actual "relationship."

To think that for all those years while she was with the scraggly and rarely showered Chris Robinson, we really thought she liked her men on the homely side.

Way to surprise us, Kate!

Paula Abdul is surrounded by assistants and stylists and, according to Page Six, she runs a tight ship.

"There’s a salon chair in her house where she gets her hair and makeup done every day. She’ll sit in it, set an alarm, and then, because she’s on so many painkillers, pass out while her hair and makeup guy gets her ready for the day. When the alarm goes off she’ll wake up, and God forbid the poor guy isn’t done yet. All hell breaks loose."

Abdul’s rep said, "There’s no alarm that I’ve ever seen."

This is what should be made into a reality show. It would be a nail biter!!

Can you imagine the heart-pounding, brow-sweat countdown for the poor makeup guy? Holding her pharmaceutically leaden eyelids open to apply mascara, he likely has one eye on the timer and one eye watching for a tell-tale flicker right before Paula startles awake and starts choking him.

Maybe we’re devious, but we’re thinking that resetting the timer while she’s asleep might be a strategy. In her drugged up state, she’s not going to remember.

Or, they could try shaking that Abdul munchkin upside down by her ankles and demanding more time for each morning’s Herculean makeover.

It had been widely reported that Paris Hilton had been seen at Les Deux in Hollywood this weekend.

TMZ has a picture of her climbing into an SUV that night.

OK! Magazine has details of the wild night on the town and it doesn’t sound like she’s curtailed her drinking and hooking up.

“Paris was dancing away on the black-leather cushions of her booth, along with her friends and Nicky,” another witness adds. “She looked really happy to be free from the confines of that tiny jail cell.” And Paris wasted no time in getting wasted, both sources tell OK!. She ordered and downed two shots of Jaegermeister within her first 10 minutes there…

"By the time Paris got ready to leave, she was pretty drunk,” the eyewitness tells OK!. "Toward the end of the night, she was sitting on the top edge of her booth, making-out with a dark-haired guy who was sporting a couple days growth of beard. While they kissed, Paris was holding up a brown fedora hat, and they were kissing behind the hat, so people couldn’t see. But still, sitting up high like that on the back of her booth, with 200 people clamoring to watch her every move, if she was trying to be coy, it didn’t work!”

Tequila shots? Sucking face with an apparent stranger?

Ahhhh…we knew the old Paris would prevail over the Saintly Paris promoted during her whirlwind, philosophy-spouting, not-so-mea-culpa, post-jail media tour.

The latest Lindsay Lohan rumor to burn up the Internets is that the "boyfriend" she was talking about to the press recently wasn’t pre-rehab BF Calum Best, or even that guy she rode around the beach over the holiday.

Nope. Apparently neither of these fine young men have captured young Lohan’s sober heart.

Instead, she’s said to be dabbling with a little Latin love. Super smokin’ hot A.J. Lamas, son of famed heartthrob Lorenzo, is the only one Lohan has the loco eyes for.

It’s been reported that she’s ready to take things to the next level. What could that next level be? This is wild child Lindsay Lohan we’re talking about. What could they possibly do that they haven’t done yet? Crochet?

Even if it is crochet and bingo, you can’t blame A.J. for sticking around to see how it all ends. Catch the side-boob action at the beach party. Sassy and classy.

John Sundahl, a real estate investor and fellow AAer, is that mystery guy running around with Britney Spears over the holiday.

He’s said to be her bodyguard, but the two have kept very close company in recent days, fuelling speculation there might be more to it. The pair were spotted out and about in LA, where they shared an intimate dinner at the Four Seasons and later set off to watch the musical Wicked before returning to the hotel together.

Sundahl denied being romantically involved with her a few weeks ago, but either she’s hired him as a chauffeur/bodyguard/dinner companion, or they’re getting cozy again. C’mon, the guy went to see Wicked! He’s definitely into her.

Here’s more:

John Sundahl claims he and the Toxic singer are an item after meeting at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting in Los Angeles. Sundahl tells the National Enquirer he knows Spears is serious about the romance because she recently helped him recover from bowel surgery. He says, "When I was in the hospital, she sat with me and held my hand all night long. She even sang and hummed to me while I was practically unconscious. "I love being around her. She’s a sweet, caring girl and a good mom." Sundahl claims Spears sought him out for counseling sessions after leaving rehab at Promises in Malibu earlier this year (07), and then started attending AA meetings he staged. The wealthy 38-year-old admits his romance with Spears could scupper part of her estranged husband Kevin Federline’s divorce battle – because the dancer/rapper’s legal team initially subpoenaed Sundahl to testify against the pop star.

Sounds like the Spears-Federline divorce is going to court.
