Jessica Alba and her adorable daughter Honor did lunch yesterday at the Coral Tree Cafe in Brentwood.
Jessica, who appeared as a judge on
Project Runway last night, looked casual but still fashionable in a pair of dip-dyed jeans, while Honor sported a bright purple top and a cute rag doll that she carried by the hair!
Jessica must have been bit by the reality bug, because this Sunday, she'll guest on another reality show,
Extreme Home Makeover, as a celebrity volunteer helping to rebuild the home of a Texas family whose house was devastated by Hurricane Ike in 2008.

Tiger Woods' kindergarten teacher is stepping forward today to call Tiger out on claims he was harassed for the color of his skin on the first day of school.
Ms. Decker, who has secured the services of attorney Gloria Allred (who also reps several other Tiger/Jesse mistresses) is refuting a story Tiger told to Charles Barkley and writer Michael Wilbon for the 2005 book
Who's Afraid of a Large Black Man?
In the book, Tiger claims:
I became aware of my racial identity on my first day of school, on my first day of kindergarten. A group of sixth-graders tried me to a tree, spray-painted [the n-word] on me, and threw rocks at me. That was my first day of school. I used to live across the street from school and kind of down the way a little bit. The teacher said, "Okay, just go home." So I had to outrun all these kids going home, which I was able to do. It was certainly an eye-opening experience, you know, being five years old. We were the only minority family in all of Cypress, California.
However, his teacher remembers that day a little differently.
In a statement released to X17online, Gloria Allred said:
Ms. Decker remembers Tiger Woods very well because of his cute smile and big glasses. Also, she remembers him as being intense and a perfectionist even at that young age. His interacted very well with other students.
Ms. Decker was therefore shocked when she first learned sometime ago of Tiger Woods’ statement alleging that he was the victim of a shocking, violent and racial attack on him the first day of kindergarten.
Ms. Decker who has devoted her life to teaching young children, was mystified as to why Tiger would make such a serious and explosive allegation.
Ms. Decker believes that no such incident ever occurred to Tiger Woods while he was under he care as a kindergarten pupil on the first day of class.
Further, neither Tiger nor his parents nor anyone even reported the alleged racial incident to her or the administration. Therefore Ms. Decker contends that the statement that “...and the teacher really didn’t do much of anything.â€Â, is completely untrue, since such an incident never occurred and was never reported to her by anyone while Tiger was a student at the school.
Under the circumstances where a dedicated teacher has been unfairly slandered and maligned for motives that can only be speculated about, we think it is time for Tiger Woods to do the right thing and retract his statement.
No teacher should ever be treated in such a callous and unfair manner especially one such as Ms. Decker.
The time for Tiger Woods to make direct amends to her is now.
I guess Tiger can add one more woman to the list of females Gloria Allred wants him to apologize to!

Here we go again...
Lauren Conrad graces the latest cover of
Glamour, and she talks about everything from her love life to her battle with cellulite. Of course, she pulls her usual "I don't like being in the public eye" shtick, but after joking around about hair extensions and her friends, she does come across as a bit more likable than we previously thought.
On too much attention:
“I get very uncomfortable with people watching me. And I know that sounds silly because of the show, but we were filming with people that we’d known for years, and it was a job. [Now] when [I’m] in a movie theater and [I] can hear the whispers, it’s like that really bad dream where you go to school naked. You feel so self-conscious."
On how she handled media scrutiny while she was on
The Hills:
"It got to the point where I was afraid to go online. I lived without cable or Internet for an entire year."
On her body:
"I’ve never felt a push to be stick thin. I work out and eat healthy, so mostly it’s about being in shape and having energy. But about a year ago, I looked down and thought, I have cellulite. Where did that come from? I went through treatments; [my body] was like, It’s not going anywhere."

Unfortunately, we're not joking about any of last night's events!
Lindsay Lohan attended a video game release party at Les Deux, where she took
another tumble around midnight as she left the club. Lindsay then headed to Voyeur where she was denied entry, and she then tweeted about the incident, hinting that it was all one big April Fools' prank. Per her Twitter:
Just one thing-i came to PICK UP MY FRIEND @electraavellan from the back and NOT even go into the club! Yet- I get sold out by guys that Security @Voyeur nightclub in LA just set me up&paid off paparazzi to not let me in the back door and come to take photos of me in the back By guys that I treat with respect and kindness...... They got paid off to let paparazzi make me look like I was distraught and a mess, when I was just waiting for my friend at the back door...... Worse part is, my friends who run the club were a part of the set-up as well. Why?
A source inside the club tells X17online exclusively, "Lindsay rolled up to the back door and club personnel would not let her in. I was inside the entire time and they were not even close to capacity." Hmm, seems like the joke's on Lilo!
After that, Lindsay headed to Trousdale around 1am, where she stayed until about 3:45am, proving that she can't seem to go a
single night without stepping out to a club in Hollywood.

'Tis the season to show a little skin...and shop for a sexy summer pad!
This afternoon we snapped Paris Hilton out and about in Malibu, and the heiress tweeted that she was looking for a new home! At first we thought it was an April Fools' joke, but Paris posted an ocean view shot from one of the properties and tweeted a little later, "Just got home. Saw some beautiful homes, so it's going to be a hard choice to make."
Maybe she'll invite us to her housewarming party?
