While everyone is focused on March Madness right now, Los Angeles hasn't forgotten about Kobe and company. Sigh ... if only they had won last night!
Ashton Kutcher, Nicole Richie, Gerard Butler, Ashley Tisdale and a handful of other stars attended the Lakers vs. Grizzlies game on Sunday evening at the Staples Center, and they watched their home team take a 102-96 loss to Memphis. Better luck next time!

Simon Cowell had a scary run-in with an intruder at his London home on Saturday, but thankfully the X Factor judge is alright after the incident, which is now being handled by the police.
Cowell found 29-year-old Leanne Zaloumis armed with a brick, and she had been wandering around his house after breaking and entering -- literally! -- by smashing in a window. "The woman who was in his house clearly has some sort of mental problems," a source tells Us Weekly of Cowell's intruder. "She roamed around the house, lied in his bed, [and went] through his bathroom." Hmm, sounds kinda like that kooky Alanis Morissette song...
Cowell's rep Max Clifford told The Sun that his client heard a loud noise and rushed upstairs to check it out. "It came from the bathroom, so he went in – and there was a woman standing there holding a brick," Clifford said. "She had smashed her way in through the window, and it was unclear how long she had been there or what she was doing. It was a very frightening experience for Simon, who told me it was like something from a horror movie."
Zaloumis was later charged with trespassing on the property and intending to "inflict grievous bodily harm upon a person therein," according to Reuters.

Tony Dovolani brought his biggest fan to dance practice!
The DWTS pro headed to the studio to continue perfecting his moves, and his little black dog was just a cha-cha behind... how cute is that?!
Maybe he wanted his pooch there for moral support? Tony and his partner Martina Navratilova scored among the lowest of the couples with a dismal 20 points on last week's episode, and many are speculating they will be the first team sent home on the upcoming episode of the ABC dancing competition.
For their sake, we hope Rover runs a tight ship in rehearsals!

The Hunger Games had the third highest box office opening of all time, thanks to $155 million worth of domestic ticket sales and a whopping $214.3 million worldwide.
The Hunger Games takes the number three spot behind 2011's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2, which holds the record for best debut with $169.2 million and The Dark Knight, which earned $158.4 in the summer of 2008.
Lionsgate president of marketing Tim Palen, whose team was behind the ad campaigns for the flick, told The Hollywood Reporter, "It was the perfect storm. Having the first film in a franchise to be so gigantic is amazing. We had a great book and a great director in Gary Ross."

Could Kim Kardashian possible add another trendy spring color to her outfit?!
The reality starlet donned a bright pink blazer, peach jeans and a minty bag for church on Sunday.
Guess Kim K's staying away from black these days after being flour bombed at an event for her new perfume last week. Apparently white powder doesn't show up as well on pastels as it does on an all-black outfit!

Katie Holmes and daughter Suri Cruise, being as fancy as they are, stopped for a spot of tea Sunday at Alice's Teacup in New York.
The Alice in Wonderland-themed kiddie hotspot was an obvious choice for the posh tot. Let's just hope the Queen of Hearts wasn't there to ruin the mood!
