Bridget's Shopping Spree for Kendra's Baby
Bridget Marquardt may not be flying to Indianapolis when Kendra Wilkinson gives birth next month, but that doesn't mean she's not thinking about her.
"I bought her so much stuff," Bridget told us at the recent Nu Pop Movement watch launch in L.A. "Tons of stuff. From the stroller to the car seat to toys and clothes and diapers and everything. So I think she has everything she needs from me."
Except a certain holiday outfit…
Barrymore & Long: Brunch Ado About Nothing?
Drew Barrymore and Justin Long are so totally square.
The maybe-couple had brunch together yesterday at Square One in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles. "They were by themselves for a while and both sitting on the same side of the table and then two women joined them," a fellow diner says.
Speaking of Mr. Long...

Spelling Spends Big!
Tori Spelling may have once had the luxury of her late dad's bank account but not anymore. Even so, she sure likes spending big.
Spelling was spotted shopping yesterday at popular celebrity boutique Harmony Lane in Beverly Hills, where she dropped $2,000! She left with her arms full of shopping bags filled with dresses, shirts, clutches, jewelry and even a candle.
But she should be careful. Spelling told ABC's 20/20 just last month that she was once close to bankruptcy because of her buying habits and credit-card debt.
“I never had to worry about money,” Spelling said on 20/20. “I know that might sound shallow to people, but that was my reality. You know I would sit and watch my mom order stuff online or in a catalogue, and she’d pick a sweater and order it in 10 different colors. And I thought, ‘Oh, when I have my own money, that’s what I should do.’ After a while, it catches up with you.”
Spelling famously got shafted in billionaire father Aaron Spelling’s will, receiving less than $1 million.
Ms. Spelling wasn't the only starlet out and about for some shopping yesterday. Click below for my videoblog about Victoria Beckham's trip to L.A.'s The Way We Wore.

This Just In! Alba Grants a Wish
Preggers Jessica Alba got to practice her mama skills today.
I just got word that Alba was at the Juicy Couture boutique in Beverly Hills about an hour ago helping a young girl from the Kids Wish Network pick out some new clothes.
"They went through all the clothes, and Jessica was just really engaging, like, 'Oh this looks really good on you!' " a source reports.
The starlet and her new pal then spent some private time chatting in the store's ultraexclusive VIP room.
The girl left the 90-minutes shopping spree with a hot pink raincoat, a few cotton dresses and a signature Juicy tracksuit.
The source says, "On the way out, the little girl gave both Jessica and one of the store managers a little coin that said, 'You're an official guardian angel.' "

Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon had a bicoastal weekend.
The two were spotted on Friday getting cozy while strolling through Los Angeles (left). They must have hopped on a plane to New York City, because they were spotted all over Manhattan yesterday. The paparazzi caught up with them while they shopped at the A.P.C. boutique.
And now I have even more details about their stay in the Big Apple.
A source also spotted them yesterday having brunch at Sarabeth’s on Central Park South. “They were very cute and seemed very happy,” an eyewitness said. “He was touching her face.” They even gave their autographs to a fellow female bruncher, who was celebrating her birthday at a table next to them.
Then the lovebirds checked out the Broadway play August: Osage County. Clocking in at more than three hours, the play by writer Tracy Letts addresses, among other things, alcoholism, drug addiction, adultery and sexual misbehavior.
The dark subject matter didn't dampen Gyllenhaal and Witherspoon's good mood, though. An eyewitness said, "They were cuddling and hugging and even kissing."
