It’s just another night and another party for sexy, single Britney Spears.

But something was a little different when Brit hit Hollywood on Wednesday night: her new party crew included former Paris flame Brandon Davis.

After hitting the clubs, the party train headed to a house party in Beverly Hills. There, the pop princess was apparently joined by another third of the new Brit pack: Lindsay Lohan, who came from an appearance at GQ’s Men of the Year Awards.

So is the teen queen toying with the idea of a Paris-Britney-Lindsay collaboration? Well, don’t count her in just yet.

Only “Extra” has the authorized update on Christie Brinkley and her shocking divorce scandal.

“Extra” was with the supermodel mom, who put aside the heartbreak of her divorce with Peter Cook, as she made holiday plans with her adorable children.

With Brinkley’s blessing, her longtime friend Dr. Patricia Wexler spoke to “Extra” on Wednesday in New York.

“I spoke to Christie this morning, and she’s doing really well, and she’s preparing for the Christmas holiday,” the dermatologist shared, who has a line of skin care products that the supermodel herself endorses.

Did Pam's Party Girl Ways Send Kid Packing?


Pam Anderson was spotted in Santa Monica without her wedding ring. Meanwhile, friends of Kid Rock claim Pam's partying is the reason for the couple's split.

A pal told the New York Post that Kid re-arranged his life for Pam, moving from Detroit to Los Angeles.

That same friend revealed that Kid often found himself home alone watching the kids, saying, "Pamela would go out almost every night."

Pam confessed in this month's Blender magazine, "When I go to Hollywood, I start at the Chateau Marmot and then usually end up naked in (photographer) David LaChapelle's studio taking crazy pictures."

The world just can't stop talking about Britney Spears and Paris Hilton's party train, which has traveled through Vegas and Hollywood.

"They are running wild," Regis Philbin said on "Live." "No clue, no cares, no underwear... meet the party posse of the year!"

But after eight crazy nights, is the party over for Paris and Britney?

While Hilton walked the red carpet with old BFF Nicole Richie in Hollywood Tuesday night, "Extra" spotted Spears at a Malibu Chevron with a new gal pal. The two were then spotted in a hotel lobby.

Brooke Shields: 'I Got Katie Something Old'


The always stunning Brooke Shields turned quite a few heads in Rome over the weekend on her way to Tom and Katie’s fairy tale wedding.

Now the starlet is back in the United States, and despite what you may have heard, Brooke told “Extra” she did not have trouble picking out TomKat’s wedding gift.

“Well, they registered, so that was not an issue,” she revealed. “I mean I had to give Katie the something old, and it wasn’t just me at the wedding, the something old by the way. I actually brought a gift. I did say that to my friend, that I’m doing the something old. And she said, ‘What, are you showing up?’”

Pam and Kid Rock: What Really Happened?


It's the all-new Pam Anderson and Kid Rock divorce shocker: did the sexy "Baywatch" babe's cameo in the cultish hit "Borat" cause a marriage ending blowout?

New reports Tuesday said yes, and that Kid exploded in front of a group of VIPs when screening the movie, allegedly upset about the scene in which Borat watches Pam's infamous sex tape with her ex, Tommy Lee.

Shouting expletives and screaming at Pam, Rock wasn't rocking his wife's world as he said she had humiliated herself.

A source close to Pam cited this was the beginning of the end, dishing to the New York Post that Pam left Kid because of "his male insecurity and major anger issues."

Insiders say Paris has been giving an insecure and newly single Britney fashion tips and has even helped out with the babysitting duties. Monday night, despite the crush of paparazzi, Paris was able to guide Spears inside the club, where sources say they were inseparable.

Let's Get Social

Put it in the books right now, Social House is the best new restaurant in Las Vegas. It’s got the complete package: style, celebrities, atmosphere, a daring drink menu… and most importantly, unbelievable food that dwarfs the four things I just mentioned.

First, let’s hit the faces. Before the A-list celebrities get their VIP on at the best nightclubs in Vegas, they fuel up at Social House inside Treasure Island. Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo always try their best NOT to be photographed together, but the food is so good at Social House, they couldn’t help but get cozy for the cameras. Vegas staples Paris and Nicky Hilton, actor Wilmer Valderrama, rocker Dave Navarro, comedian Damon Wayans, Entourage’s Kevin Dillon… they all can be found dining at Social House at all hours. The owners will say it’s because of the food, which we’ll get to in a sec. But I have my own theory on why the stars love Social House: the layout. Social House is a maze of nooks and crannies where you could be dining 10 feet from Enrique Iglesias and never know it. That intimate layout allows stars to have their privacy, and it allows normal people like you and me the chance to have an intimate, romantic, cozy evening with our significant others without having to shout your sweet-nothings across the table.

Must Have Lips: Lip Pencil and Lip Liner


For always kissable lips, use a lip brush to apply lipstick. Follow this with an all-over lip liner to trap the color and stain the lips for long-lasting puckers!

Sultry Eyes: Liquid Eyeliner and Mascara Tips


For perfect eyes, line lashes with a pencil, using a credit card to make a straight line. Then, blend with a Q-tip and then apply black liquid liner for a smooth finish. Be sure to let the liquid eye liner dry before moving on to the next step: mascara.

Before you add mascara, add loose powder to the tips of the lashes. Doing this will allow the mascara to cling to it when applied for fuller, thicker and blacker lashes with lots of va-voom appeal!

Britney and Paris: Hollywood's Newest Best Friends?

Fresh off her split from Kevin Federline, Britney Spears is finding company in none other than Paris Hilton.

“Extra” spotted the party-ready couple as they stepped out Friday night at a party in the Hollywood Hills, where newly single Brit apparently left the house without an important piece of clothing: her underwear!

As the paparazzi swarmed the single starlets, a protective Paris tried to teach Ms. Brit a lesson in paparazzi etiquette.

“We’re going home to her babies,” Hilton said of their plans.

Chad Lowe on Hilary: 'She Was the Love of My Life'


Chad Lowe and Oscar winner Hilary Swank were once considered Hollywood’s golden couple.

But in Hollywood, tides of change can happen in the blink of an eye, and now for the first time since their painful split, Chad is finally speaking out, only to “Extra.”

Lowe, who just joined the cast of the Emmy winning show, “24,” is setting the record straight about his relationship with Hilary and the rumors of substance abuse.

“It has been a tough year and not something I expected,” Lowe admitted. “It’s very humbling.”

Regis: Daytime TV's Best Dressed


From dapper duds to shocking shades, we’re inside the closet of Regis Philbin.

When “Extra” stepped inside the wardrobe room of daytime TV’s best dressed male, we found out that Regis is all about tailored suits and ties that pop.

“I think it’s a necessity for television,” the TV titan said of his infamous combination.

The man who once made monochromatic a style-must for men is now setting another fashion trend: pocket squares.
