Even looking him straight in the face like this, I couldn't figure out what actor was walking on the beach in Malibu yesterday with his cell phone and his low-tech address book mini-binder. Guess who!

Jerry Seinfeld is super serious Porsche collector and it doesn't hurt that he's super rich and can fund his addiction!
The comedian owns just fewer than 50 Porsches -- the most expensive being a $700,000 Porsche 959 -- one of only 300 or so every produced. He also has a 1955 Spyder 550s -- the same kind James Dean was driving when he crashed and died.
Find out how Jerry passed on his love of Porsches to his wife Jessica, after the jump ...

At 68-years-old, former Beatle Paul McCartney actually made it through a mass of 20-somethings all tripped out at the Coachella music festival in the desert outside LA this weekend. And he celebrated his survival with dinner at Osteria Mozza Saturday night in the safety and security of Hollywood.
Question is ... which is the tougher crowd -- Coachella or the paparazzi of LA???

Jessica Alba's daughter Honor enjoyed a day at the park Saturday with daddy Cash Warren. Does this girl have an amazing wardrobe or what? This perfectly pink, frilly frock was a bit dressy for a day on the slides and swings but Honor didn't care. Fashion first for this girl!

Natalie Portman's body double in Black Swan, Sarah Lane, continues to speak out about the amount of dancing she claims Portman did her her Oscar-winning role in the ballet film.
Lane told 20/20's Elizabeth Vargas she wants the film's producers to come clean about the dancing Portman really did: "They're completely lying about the amount of dancing Natalie did in the movie."
Lane, a trained ballerina, says claims Portman did most of her own performance scenes are an insult to her profession:
"I've been doing this for 22 years, and to say that someone trained for a year and a half and did what I did is degrading not only to me but to the entire ballet world. They threaten the entire principle of ballet and I feel like I need to say something."
The film's director, Darren Aronofsky, says the claims are completely untrue. The ABC show aired this response from him:
"Here is the reality. I had my editor count shots. There are 139 dance shots in the filmâ€â€111 are Natalie Portman untouched. Twenty-eight are her dance double Sarah Lane. If you do the math, that's 80 percent Natalie Portman."
When the film's editor Andy Weisblum was approached, he said, "There are about 35 shots that are full-body shots in the movie. Of those 35 shots, 12 are Natalie, and then the rest are Sarah."
But that's not the only controversy about a Natalie Portman body double ... an Irish student has come forward to say she was paid $450 to stand in for Portman in a scene of Your Highness. Read more about that, after the jump ...

It's so nice to see a Hollywood star out enjoying the sunny LA weather on her bike, sans makeup, without Christian Louboutins, no fur, and no bodyguard. How refreshing!
Rachel Bilson took to the streets of Los Feliz for a little spin on her bicycle Saturday and while she remove her helmet to pose for some pix (natural AND nice!), worry not ... the starlet observed bike safety. See her helmet style after the jump.
