Molly Shannon and Mini Chestnut

Karl Erikson — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 13:37:00 GMT

Here's "Kath & Kim" star Molly Shannon smiling brightly with her 3-1/2-year-old son Nolan a few days before Christmas. They were doing some last-minute shopping at The Grove. Molly carried a bag from the "American Girl" store, probably a gift for daughter Stella, 5.

Molly has been married to the amazingly-named Fritz Chestnut, an artist, for 4 years. And you can catch "Kath & Kim" Thursday nights. I think it started off weak, but it's quickly become one of my favorite sitcoms. Think of it as "My Name is Earl" in suburbia.

Heidi and Leni Hit The Grove

Whit Honea — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 19:35:00 GMT

Heidi Klum and her daughter Leni were seen shopping at The Grove. It's the place to be.

As I type this my wife is headed to The Grove with our youngest kid and a handful of credit cards. Something tells me that Seal doesn't worry about stuff like that as much as I do.

My kid is wearing converse and I'm good with that. Visit Droolicious to find out what Leni has on.

Black Friday Shoppers: Gwen Stefani and Family

Whit Honea — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 21:27:00 GMT

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale took their cuties Kingston and Zuma out for some seasonal shopping at the popular Grove.

It's so popular I'm going there this weekend. That's right, get your cameras ready.

There's a good chance that you're probably holiday shopping right now. If you're by an Apple store think of me!

Noah Wyle and his family, wife Tracy and kids Owen and Auden, were spotted at The Grove doing a bit of shopping.

Chances are that you're out shopping, too.

Is anybody out there? Hello?

Victoria Beckham Will Deliver Toys To Your House

sweatpantsmom — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 21:05:00 GMT

I know the holidays are approaching when the signs of Christmas start to appear: the bright lights, the smell of pine, the bells ringing. Oh, and then there are the celebrities dressing up as their favorite characters from the North Pole.

Victoria Beckham, seen here at the Grove in L.A. with son Cruz, apparently likes to dress up as Santa's helper. Hopefully this isn't part of some kinky role-playing thing with David Beckham, where he dresses up as Santa and then he calls his favorite elf into the workshop to - oh, never mind.

Heidi Klum Stays Focused

Whit Honea — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 19:34:00 GMT

Leni is very happy. Leni is very mad. I can't tell. Heidi, however, is slightly amused and not encouraging her.

This is supermodel parenting 101, folks. Textbook.

Can't Stop Drooling - Mark Wahlberg Is A Hot Dad

Sassy Smith — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 14:07:00 GMT

It looks like Mark Wahlberg is a doting dad - that's awesome. Really it is. And his kids are adorable. Really they are. But what I can't stop staring at, are Marky Mark's (Yes, he'll always be Marky Mark to me) arms, all strong looking and his chiseled jawline.....

More photos after the jump!

Mark took his two kids, Ella Rae and Michael, to get icecream in Beverly Glen, CA. He and his fiance ~~that should have been me~~ Rhea Durham are expecting their third child next month.

This photo possibly shows Wahlberg's distaste for the paparazzi but I'd like to pretend he's just giving me a full on lookie loo. Thank you Marky Mark, thank you.

Mark Walhberg and his girlfriend will soon have a third child together, but for now Michael is getting all of his dad's attention.

Looks like they're having a good time.

The baby is due in the fall.

An American Girl: Rachel Bilson

Whit Honea — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 22:18:00 GMT

Rachel Bilson took her little sister and a friend to the premiere of Kit Kittredge: An American Girl, because frankly, that's what big sisters are supposed to do.

An American Girl(s): The Smith Family

Whit Honea — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 20:56:00 GMT

Willow Smith is in Kit Kittredge: An American Girl, and brought the family to the premiere for some fun and support. With her is her brother Jaden who starred with their dad Will Smith in The Pursuit of Happyness.

A recent post about Will Smith had a lot (okay, a couple) of people asking about older brother Trey. He was the one that was in the video for "Just the Two of Us." Well, you're in luck, he's here too (along with Will and Jada)!

An American Girl(s): Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin

Whit Honea — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 19:33:00 GMT

Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin took their girls and dolls to the premiere of Kit Kittredge: An American Girl at The Grove shopping center.

Delilah Belle is 9 and Amelia Gray is 6. I'm sure the lovely young ladies enjoyed the film a bit more than Julian.

Is it just me or are Rinna and Hamlin starting to resemble one another? That sounds like fodder for a different post.

An American Girl: Debi Mazar

Debi Mazar and Gabriele Corcos took their daughters, 5-year-old Evelina and 2-year-old Giulia to the premiere of Kit Kittredge: An American Girl at the Grove in L.A.

They have their mother's eyes, don't they?

An American Girl: Lisa Kudrow

Whit Honea — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 18:33:00 GMT

Lisa Kudrow's nine-year-old son Julian must have been thrilled to attend the premiere of Kit Kittredge: An American Girl. Who needs The Hulk?

The American Girl series is number one, right Julian?

An American Girl: Chris O'Donnell

Whit Honea — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 17:52:00 GMT

Three out of 5 ain't bad. Chris O’Donnell and his wife Caroline Fentress took three of their five kids to the premiere of Kit Kittredge: An American Girl. The premiere was held at The Grove which is located in that grey area between Beverly Hills and Hollywood.

I was thinking that a shopping center was an odd choice for a movie premiere until I realized that they took out the very cool Turner Classic Movies museum and replaced it with the biggest American Girl store I've ever seen (yes, it's the only one I've ever seen, but it's still huge).

Milla Jovovich Teaches Ever Early

Whit Honea — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 23:52:00 GMT

Once again we find the age old question regarding shopping. Is it nature or nurture? Milla Jovovich isn't leaving anything to chance. Ever Anderson got some hands on training at The Grove in West Hollywood. That's no ametuer shopping spot, people, that's the real deal. Milla isn't messing around.

On a side note, I was just there on Monday night for a cooking class at Sur La Table. I can now make sliders and salmon to die for.

Spying on the Neighbors: 12-7-07

Whit Honea — Sat, 08 Dec 2007 00:17:00 GMT

Well, here we are, staring into windows. I wonder if these two are planning on decorating for the holidays.

Let's see what is happening in the neighborhood:

Olive in the Grove. (Celebrity Baby Scoop)

Uma, Levon. Levon, Uma. (Celebrity Moms)

A-Rod is a slum-lord? (TMZ)

Tom Cruise must have really pissed Germany off. (dlisted)

Jennifer Garner is Violet's little pony. (Jezebel)

Heidi Klum and Seal Get in the Grove

Whit Honea — Mon, 06 Aug 2007 17:59:00 GMT

Heidi Klum and Seal took the kids out for some weekend shopping and family time at The Grove.

Every time I go to The Grove shopping area in Beverly Hills/Hollywood (it's a blur) I see someone famous. Last time I was there I'm about 99.9% sure that Britney Spears ran right by me. Literally running, kidless and with dog, all the way to her waiting car at the valet.

Seal and Heidi seem much more relaxed.

Scary Spice in Scary Stripes

BadKitty — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 13:06:00 GMT

Looks like Mel B.'s relationship with boyfriend Stephen Belafonte has already transitioned from "you're gonna need a cleaning crew after we're done" hot sex to nice nights out with the kids. Mel and her her two daughters Phoenix Chi and Angel Iris Murphy Brown, and Stephen and his daughter, (the unnamed middle child, let's call her Jan) went out to dinner at The Grove shopping center last week. Mmm, fun date! They spent many years together in the friend zone, so clearly this works for them.

Still, it's nice to see Scary is trying to keep some spice in their relationship by also bringing out "the girls" -- although from the way she's packed into that test pattern of a dress, it's probably hard to keep them in.
