If you thought the hat Sarah Jessica Parker wore to the world premiere of "Sex and the City" was a bit over the top, take a look at this fancy headwear from the 7th Annual Tulips & Pansies: The Headdress Affair, which was held at the Altman Building last week in New York City.  The event raises funds for Village Care of New York, a non-profit organization providing vital healthcare programs to people living with HIV/AIDS.

Couple Watch: Kimberley Locke and Harvey Walden

Ho22258

Somehow I missed this.  I had no idea that "American Idol" alum Kimberley Locke was dating loudmouth Harvey Walden from "Celebrity Fit Club/Celebrity Fit Club Boot Camp."   

The lovebirds were spotted backstage at the Nokia Theatre in New York last week, where Locke  was performing. These two seem like a very unlikely match, but she told People that he wasn't "officially" her boyfriend because he wasn't quite divorced yet:

"His divorce is why we're not a couple yet. That is my rule. Whether you're separated or married -- whatever -- I would like it to be cleared up. Until then we can hang out together and have fun together."

I knew Locke appeared on "Celebrity Fit Club" last year, but I had no idea they were dating - or attempting to date, but I guess the romance blossomed once the season was over. She told People a few months ago:

"We worked out on the show together for four months and never even said anything to each other. I thought he was mean. I didn't want him to be mean to me, but then after the show was over and I saw him outside of work, he was really nice."

Victoria Beckham: "Hardy Men" Cameo and a Move Back To Britain?

Ho_victoria_beckham_002

Rumor has it that Victoria Beckham will has a cameo role in the new Tom Cruise film, "Hardy Men," after being asked to appear by Cruise himself.

As the story goes, during Victoria's recent 34th birthday bash, she was reportedly "speechless" after Cruise not only asked her to design the costumes for the film, but to also make a cameo appearance, as well.

Victoria seemed to do quite well last year when she appeared on "Ugly Betty" as a bridesmaid for the character of Wilhelmina Slater {played by Vanessa Williams}, so I'd bet she'll do quite well in a feature film cameo, too. 

The film will also co-star Ben Stiller.

The rumor comes hot on the heels of yet more hush-hush speculation that the Beckham's may be considering a move back across the pond, especially after it was reported that the pair had hired an LA company to design a new home back in Britain.

A rep for the pair insists:

"Victoria has said if they ever move back to the U.K. they will move to central London but there are no plans at the moment."

Jennie Garth Heads Back to "90210"

Ho22225

It's official - Jennie Garth has confirmed she's coming back to "90210" - or at least the spin-off, anyway.

Garth pretty much started rumors flying when she suddenly quit her television series, "My Best Friend's Girl" last month, where she was originally scheduled to star.  The actress decided to jump ship at the last minute and it wasn't long before speculation was fueled that perhaps Garth was headed back to her old zip code and a "Beverly Hills, 90210" spin-off.

So far, Garth is the first official original character to be brought in, however both Tori Spelling and Ian Ziering have made it public that they too, would like a piece of the action.

Garth will come back has her original character, Kelly Taylor, and since she's all grown up now, she'll play the high school guidance counselor.
