Spotted: Kate Beckinsale and Lily Fall into the Gap!

Albert Michael/Startraks

Even though Lily Sheen — or actress Kate Beckinsale for that matter — weren’t around when Gap launched its first denim collection, the gorgeous duo made sure to come out to celebrate the opening of the new 1969 Premium Jeans shop in West Hollywood on Wednesday.

Along with celebs like Rebecca Romijn, Jerry O’Connell, Debra Messing and Sarah Michelle Gellar, the 10 ½-year-old and her mom browsed the Robertson Boulevard boutique’s chic, retro-inspired denim-on-denim looks including a cropped moto jacket ($69.50) over a western-style chambray shirt ($59.50).

Unfortunately, the store doesn’t carry kids or toddler denim yet, but they do stock the full 1969 babyGap collection.

Jennifer Garner Forgoes Naps For Play Time With Violet

Jen Lowery/Startraks

During a recent visit to Lopez Tonight, actress Jennifer Garner touched on some of the lifestyle changes that often accompany motherhood.

When asked by host George Lopez whether she finds herself fitting in showers late at night once daughters Violet Anne, 4, and Seraphina Rose Elizabeth, 13 months, are asleep, the 37-year-old Valentine’s Day star suggested that some days even that is a tall order!

“It doesn’t mean I’m not clean,” she insisted. “I take care of what needs to be taken care of, but as far as taking a shower or putting on any mascara — no. That doesn’t happen.”

George then recalled that with his own daughter Mayan, he and wife Ana would lay down on the floor “like a fire drill” and nap whenever their baby did. Jennifer said that she has never been able to do the same, noting “that’s your time to do something else.”

“You think, ‘I need to take a nap. I should take a nap.’ But you don’t. [And] you can do that with one, but with the second [child], when the one goes down the other one is like, ‘Great! I have you to myself! Let’s go! Dollhouse. Let’s go!’”

Violet and Sera are Jennifer’s children with husband Ben Affleck.

Valentine’s Day is in theaters now.

Pregnancy Makes Tiffani Thiessen Crave Red Meat

Amanda Schwab/Startraks

With only three months left before giving birth to her first child, Tiffani Thiessen is “feeling great” — and feeling differently about her diet.

“I was a vegetarian for many, many, many years and all of a sudden I started to crave red meat,” Tiffani told PEOPLE at Thursday’s USA network and Vanity Fair bash in New York City.

“Crazy enough I had a steak before I left tonight and I would never have eaten one before. One day I just woke up and craved meat. It’s weird.”

The White Collar star, 36, is also craving foot rubs from her husband Brady Smith.

“He rubs my feet, my shoulders and he always gets anything for me even if I’m all hormonal,” she says. “I have the best husband and he’s a sweetheart.”

As for whether the two will be decorating the nursery pink or blue, it’s top secret. But it was a question that immediately had to be answered for the former Saved By the Bell star.

“I couldn’t wait to find out. Are you kidding?” she exclaims. “My husband I were way too excited to wait. We needed to know right away.”

While she remained mum on the baby’s sex and name, she is already dreaming about her little one.

“I had dreams about a child before I even was pregnant and my dreams now are about a boy or this girl that I don’t know and we are playing together. It’s weird, but I hear hormones make your brain go crazy.”

Click below to see why her costars think she’ll make a great mom and Tiffani’s take on her pregnancy curves!

Family Photo: Ben Lee and Ione Skye Show Off Their Golden Girl

Splash News Online

During a stroll through Beverly Hills on Tuesday musician Ben Lee was spotted cradling daughter Goldie Priya, 5 months next week, as a glowing Ione Skye smiled for the shutterbugs.

The couple — married in 2008 — announced baby girl’s birth on Ben’s official website, in a blog entry titled “Welcome to the World.”

Since then, the new-found family-of-four — Ione is also mom to 8-year-old Kate — have been keeping a relatively low profile, but Ben still offers up an occasional photo, like this one captioned “loving the ladies.”
