Benji Madden, playing poker at the World Poker Tournament in L.A.'s Commerce Casino. Benj bypassed the red carpet but was seated smack in front of the entrance to the tourney, too bad for the press-shy guy. Musta felt the same way while dating Paris. B.M. was lookin' even buffer than before; he and twin bro Joel must be on some diet plan together or something, since Benj even declined to indulge in the free drinks.

The beautiful brunette player to his left musta noticed his new bod, 'cause she couldn't stop flirting with him all night. Benny, on the other hand, kept his eyes on his cards.

Brigitte Nielsen, chillin' at Barrington Dog Park on a Tuesday afternoon with her two pups. Celeb Rehab musta been a godsend to the babe, since she looked way fit and young, with nary a stitch of makeup on her.

Her wheels? A 2006 PT Cruiser with a for sale sign! And only $7,500 bucks. What a steal. Looks like the economy's hitting C-listers first—next stop Dancing With the Stars contestants. When will it end? Will Brangelina's brood be living in a camper instead of a 10-bedroom mansion? God forbid!
