• Kim Kardashian, treating herself to a milkshake - topped with sprinkles - at Millions of Milkshakes, a West Hollywood milkshake bar. And the reality star worked hard for her

dessert: She came from rehearsals for her stint on Dancing with the Stars, with her brother Rob in tow.

• Mischa Barton, lining up with the masses outside Earls Court to catch the Vivienne Westwood Red Label runway show as part of London Fashion Week. When the actress was recognized, though, she was escorted inside. Meanwhile, Emma Watson sat front row, snapping photos of the models on her red mobile phone. Afterward, the Harry Potter star skipped going backstage to slip into a gray London taxi. Also at the show: Pamela Anderson who, appropriately, sported a Vivienne Westwood design.

• File this under celebrity real estate watch: Cameron Diaz, looking at a $10 million house in Beverly Hills’s Trusdale Estates.

• Saturday Night Live pals Seth Meyers, Rachel Dratch and a pink-clad, very pregnant Amy Poehler, laughing over chitarra and tagliolini pasta and some Chianti at Vento in New York. While Poehler did not drink, the group repeatedly toasted her spot-on impression of Sen. Hillary Clinton as well as her upcoming departure from late night television.

• They hang out even when the cameras are not rolling. Mad Men star (and Emmy nominee) Jon Hamm, chatting with Christina Hendricks over drinks at Kate Mantilini in Beverly Hills. Hendricks ordered a lemon martini and talked to Hamm, in a pinstriped suit. Soon, Elisabeth Moss arrived, hair down, and ordered a glass of champagne, which she drank while chatting with her costars. Soon, others arrived - including January Jones and John Slattery - and the group sat at a long table in the center of the restaurant for a late supper. Dining on chicken, penne pasta and Caesar salad, the group looked like one big family.

Perhaps it’s because she recently tied the knot herself, but Ellen DeGeneres seemed to be in a romantic mood while interviewing Ryan Seacrest for Monday’s Ellen DeGeneres Show.

The new bride, 50, presses Seacrest, 33, on why he can’t seem to find love, according to excerpts of the show. On a helpful note, she comes up with a suggested date - Eva Mendes - and even offers to set him up with the actress.

“I want to know what love is?” says Seacrest, who at the end of last year told PEOPLE his goal for 2008 was to make time for a personal life.

“You’re calling me old,” interjects Seacrest.

“You’re getting old,” agrees DeGeneres. That’s when she takes out some photos to show him.

“They don’t know about this,” she says of the possible love interests she places before Seacrest, “but just as an idea of who would you choose out of these woman right here.”

Among the photos, besides Mendes’s, are those of Pamela Anderson, Britney Spears, Carrie Underwood and Jennifer Aniston.

Goes Right to Eva

“You have Eva,” points out Seacrest. “She’s gorgeous, and Jennifer is great, too.”

“You’re saying Eva Mendes, who you go to right away,” notes DeGeneres.

“Yeah, I kind of went there first,” says Seacrest. “I like Carrie, but then I kind of feel like she is part of Idol thing, so I don’t l know if that’s the right thing to do, to think about her in that way.”

Examining Spears’s photo, he says, “She looks like the sister (Jamie Lynn) there, because I was going to say she’s young and obviously there’s enough going on, and that’s not for me.”

As for Aniston, “I don’t know Jennifer,” says Seacrest.

Which brings DeGeneres back to Mendes. “I think she’s great,” concurs Seacrest. “What’s she like?”

“She’s great,” says DeGeneres. “Would you like me to set you up with her?”

He says, “Yeah.” She says, “Okay.”

After revealing in July that she has hepatitis C, Grammy winner Natalie Cole is opening up about the agonizing treatment she’s getting for the liver disease.

“I give myself a weekly injection of chemotherapy in my thigh,” Cole, 58, tells PEOPLE in its new issue. “When I started in May, I thought I was dying. I couldn’t get out of bed for three weeks - literally. I was nauseous every day. I lost 15 pounds from not eating.”

Doctors diagnosed the disease in April after a routine blood test. They say Cole likely contracted hepatitis C - which remained dormant in her body for 25 years - from sharing dirty needles when she was a heroin addict in the early ’80s. “My life crumbled before my eyes,” she tells PEOPLE.

Although she is still undergoing chemo until the end of the year to improve her chances of being cured, Cole’s doctor confirms she is already virus negative after more than three months of treatments.

Cole says her “the show must go on” philosophy has helped her cope with her health issues. Her new album of pop standards, Still Unforgettable was released on Sept. 9, and she is planning an October tour.

The new album, a sequel to her 1991 Grammy-winning CD Unforgettable … With Love, features a new duet with her late father Nat King Cole called “Walkin’ My Baby Back Home.”

“I’ve worked so hard on this record - it’s the first one I produced - I couldn’t see pushing it back %26#91;while I went through my treatment%26#93;,” says Cole. “So we’re going to barrel through and kick butt. And I if I have to, I’ll kick butt sitting down.”

Other celebrities who have publicly battled the disease - which affects about 200 million people worldwide, including 4 million in the U.S. - include Pamela Anderson, David Crosby and Naomi Judd.

Cole says Judd has been a source of support since her diagnosis. “Sometimes she leaves me little messages. You’d be surprised how that support goes a long way,” says Cole.

For more of Cole’s story in her own words, pick up the new issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday.

• Kate Hudson, eating with her little man Ryder,

4, at R+D Kitchen on Santa Monica’s Montana Avenue. The mother-son duo was

especially playful during their meal, a source tells us. After

munching on chicken salad and chatting with friends at a neighboring table,

Hudson had a little fun with Ryder over dessert - dabbing his face with

whipped cream! “She looked relaxed,” a fellow diner says of the actress.

When it was time to go, the two left with Ryder carrying the

leftovers.

• Pamela Anderson, bringing BFF (and celebrity

photographer) David LaChapelle and a group of friends to West

Hollywood bar the Abbey. The group ordered some drinks - and “were

having a really great time hanging out.”

• Isla Fisher, taking daughter Olive, 9 months, for a play

date in Beverly Hills’s Coldwater Canyon park after a photo shoot at Smashbox Studios. Olive loved the swings, and

looked thrilled while holding onto her little toy pony while riding. When

her daughter began to tire, Fisher brought her over to the lawn where the

two read a book.

• Lance Bass threw an Olympics viewing party for 300 of his

friends at his house in the Hollywood Hills. The attire for the evening?

Vintage sportswear, of course. (Think high socks and headbands!) The

revelers even indulged in some athletics of their own, namely beer pong and

a flip cup tournament with multiple teams. Bass and good friend Jamie Lynn Sigler munched on burritos from Chipotle during the bash, which also

drew out Heidi Montag and J.C. Chasez. If the

games weren’t enough, the host fully embraced the athletic theme with his

decor: He outfitted his front yard with a big, faux Olympic torch.

• Enrique Iglesias, dining on sushi platters while out with

friends at TAO Las Vegas. The

singer finished dinner off with a visit to the adjoining nightclub, where he

sat at a VIP table on the dancefloor.

• Billy Crudup, screaming and cheering through Lucy Wainwright Roche and Martha Plimpton’s show at New York’s Zipper Factory. The actor partied with the

cast until the tavern next door closed. Also at the show: Mike Myers,

Alicia Witt and Wainwright Roche’s brother, musician Rufus Wainwright.

Tuesday’s Caught in the Act >

Chris Kattan married model Sunshine Tutt in Yosemite Valley, Calif., on Saturday, PEOPLE has confirmed.

The former Saturday Night Live cast member, 37, started dating Tutt, 31, in the spring of 2005 after meeting her at a birthday party. He proposed on Christmas Eve 2006 at her grandparents’ home in Gainsville, Texas.

“Originally I was going to do something very special,” Kattan told PEOPLE about the engagement. “I tried to get Bono of U2 to serenade her. That didn’t happen. Then I asked Justin Timberlake. No answer. After hundreds of phone calls and text messages, I finally ended up asking one of the members of the Hanson group. He didn’t want to get involved.”

The comic actor recently wrapped the ensemble comedy Hollywood and Wine, which also stars David Spade, Chazz Palminteri, Vivica A. Fox and Pamela Anderson.

The fashions on Project Runway always change, but close watchers will see one constant: Heidi Klum’s shamrock ring. “I always have one four-leaf clover on, especially this little ring I never take off,” she tells us. “I like to have a little luck on my side, and it just makes you feel good.” The lucky charm is even a theme in her four-year-old Heidi Klum Collection, the line she created with fine-jewelry house Mouawad. Her shamrock-detailed pieces, which she often wears on her Bravo show, include earrings, bracelets, necklaces and rings.

Klum may be onto something: She’s already had luck in love, landing husband Seal. He’s “a very romantic man, and he does little things that mean so much,” she says. “I was in Mexico the past few days and he’ll take photos of the kids and e-mail them to me. He’ll write little messages on them. He surprises me with photos in my passport. He just does beautiful things.”

Amanda: Self-Made Man

In She’s the Man, Amanda Bynes plays a girl who disguises herself as a boy. How did she prepare? “I went to different malls and watched how guys and girls interacted,” Bynes, 19, tells us. “When guys were walking with girls, the girl would be hanging all over him and the guy would have one hand in his pocket. They want to always appear like they’re open for better offers, so I remembered that to keep an ego thing going.”

Another inspiration: “I listened to Jack Black and Tenacious D because it’s such a vulgar CD, all the stuff he sings about. So I would sing that to myself before I’d go out as a guy, and it felt like a little protection. And then I just created my own man character. People thought I was doing Elvis or some sort of hip-hop, but I wasn’t - it just came out that way.”

While making the Richard Linklater film A Scanner Darkly, a bearded Keanu Reeves has been busily taking in Austin’s nightlife. One favorite haunt has proved to be local eatery La Traviata, where he dined Tuesday night on a spicy shrimp and pasta dish and champagne before sharing a lemon tart with his female companion. (After dinner he laid out a platinum American Express card, though they split the tab.) The Matrix star, 39, apparently loves this pasta dish - he’s ordered it several times at the cozy bistro, we’re told. Recently, a group of teenage girls celebrating a friend’s birthday there tried not to stare at Reeves - but the soft-spoken star stopped by their table anyway on his way out and congratulated the guest of honor. Unfortunately, the locals weren’t so hospitable on a different night at the popular Dog %26 Duck Pub - Reeves got up and left when an inebriated patron began heckling him.

Acting: The Dogg Method
Apparently rapper Snoop Dogg isn’t satisfied with the mostly supporting roles he’s had in more than 15 movies. “I want to be the star - I don’t want to be the costar. I’m trying to become the black Tom Cruise,” says Snoop, 32, currently starring in Soul Plane. “Tom Cruise don’t sit back and ask. He just tells the (studios) what he wants and they get it done.” A fair point. As far as what he’ll do for his craft, Snoop has his limits: “I’d gain weight, but I’d never cut my hair, because James Brown told me, ‘Snoopy, your hair is your strength.’ ” Would you argue with James Brown? Neither would we.

Idol Worship
As challenging as life can be for American Idol-ers, they know they can count on at least one person for support. No, not Simon. “They’re getting ready to launch their tour, so I’ll be going out and visiting them on the road,” perky panelist Paula Abdul tells us. “I always stay in touch with the Idol kids, and they always know that in me they have someone that is there to be their friend and help them through the tough times.” The tour, which features Season 3 winner Fantasia Barrino, runner-up Diana DeGarmo and finalists La Toya London, Jon Peter Lewis, Jennifer Hudson, among others, kicks off July 14 in Salt Lake City.

Kid Rock was rushed to the hospital minutes before he was to head on stage Friday at a music festival in England, according to British press reports.

Organizers of the Download Festival said the rocker, 37, had been hospitalized in Nottingham, which is 99 miles north of London. He was suffering from stomach cramps and dehydration, his spokesman told the music magazine NME.

Rock had been due on the festival’s main stage around 3.30 p.m. Friday, but an announcement came over the public-address system a few minutes before saying Rock was unwell.

The performer had stirred controversy in the U.K. earlier in the week after telling a black interviewer that he thought the confederate flag was %26#34;cool%26#34;.

Rock also revealed he’s patched up his feud with Tommy Lee after punching the M%26#246;tley Cr%26#252;e drummer at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2007. “We’re friends,” he told The Guardian. “We don’t talk all the time but everything’s good.”

And what about his relationship with his former wife of four months, Pamela Anderson (who is reportedly back together with Lee)? “If I see her, I say hello, but I kind of don’t want to be on that scene.” Rock says. “I touched the stove, it’s f—— hot, I don’t want to touch it any more.”
