Milk still does a body good, if you ask me. The online store of this one-year-old West Hollywood boutique, is fun and colorful, with a funky collage on its welcoming home page. This shop leans towards retro-inspired clothes from such lines as Christopher Deane, Diane von Furstenberg, Luella and Sue Stemp. They also carry beauty, lingerie, swimwear, mens - AKA milkman, books, kids tees and gift items. As well, their 'coming soon' and 'must-haves' sections help you to create a mental wish list. One thing the site is missing is a list by designer - phooey! Also, they score more points with cute tops and dresses, while bottoms and shoes are eh. But right now, they have an immense sale section. Here is my mental wish list:

GEREN FORD royal blue blousey silk tank with optional matching tie, on sale for $101 (originally $202).

Two more so,

read more KAROO long puff sleeve dress, on sale for $184 (originally $368).
McQ BY MCQUEEN black and white striped shell with ruffle, on sale for $140.50 (originally $281).

Ashlee Simpson took her son Bronx to the annual Milk + Bookies event on Sunday in LA. The fundraiser hosts a large library of books for celebrities to sign and donate to children in need. The mother and son also enjoyed some playtime during their charitable morning as they met Yo Gabba Gabba! characters and listened to stories.

The exes are making the best of their pending divorce and were spotted out together before he headed on tour with his new band Black Cards last week.

Isla Fisher Has Her Hands Full With Little Elula and Work

Lauren Turner — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 01:45:40 PST

Isla Fisher carried Elula to their car in LA yesterday. The busy mom had her hands full with her daughter and a variety of beverages, including a Perrier, a bottle of milk, and an iced drink. Isla and her family returned to the West Coast after spending most of October in Isla's native Australia. The foursome relocated Down Under while Isla filmed The Great Gatsby with costars Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire. She took a break from the cameras to celebrate husband Sacha Baron Cohen's 40th birthday with a boat ride.

Isla has since switched gears from the big-screen adaptation of The Great Gatsby to a cameo on Bored to Death, which aired last week. Sacha has his own project in the spotlight as well since his children's movie, Hugo, hit theaters over the Thanksgiving holiday.

Nicole Richie threw on a studded leather jacket for an appearance in LA yesterday. She stopped by Milk Boutique to support pal Masha Gordon at her If Pockets Talked pop-up shop, where Samantha Ronson DJed. The evening out was just the latest in a string of events for Nicole, who also attended Mindy Kaling's book launch party at the Roosevelt Hotel on Monday. Over the weekend, Nicole hosted a Winter Wonderland event with Baby2Baby and also dressed up for the MOCA Gala. She was just one of many famous faces at the glamorous museum night, including Gwen Stefani and Rachel Zoe.

Jennifer Garner Grabs Seraphina For an Adorable Park Day

Lauren Turner — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 18:00:33 PST

Jennifer Garner and Seraphina had an especially smiley park day in LA this afternoon. A very pregnant Jennifer put Seraphina on her shoulders, helped her tackle the monkey bars, and also pushed her daughter on the swings. Big sister Violet didn't join them since she was busy at school, but it looks like the duo had plenty of fun on their own. Jennifer kicked off the week with mom duty following a busy weekend of glamorous events.

She stepped out with her Arthur costar Russell Brand for the Motion Picture & Television Fund's "Reel Stories, Real Lives" at Milk Studios in Hollywood on Saturday and was back on the red carpet for the AFI Fest premiere of Butter yesterday. Jennifer showed off her bump in two different dressy looks for the cameras, though her super-short Sunday night outfit was perhaps the sexiest.

Katie and Suri Shop LA as Tom Sort of Wraps Things Up in Hollywood, FL

Allie Merriam — Mon, 25 Jul 2011 07:14:45 PDT

Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise were together in LA yesterday to visit the Brentwood Country Mart. It seems Katie kept an eye on Suri while the little one had her own hands full pushing a doll's stroller. Katie and Suri were also spotted out in the city on Saturday night, joining some girlfriends for an evening snack at Milk Cafe. They just wrapped up a stay in Miami that was full of Katie Holmes bikini and Tom Cruise shirtless moments, though he stayed in Florida to finish up work on Rock of Ages. Tom hit the town there on Saturday, reportedly joining his castmates for a halfway-done party at the Lucky Strike bowling alley in nearby Hollywood, Florida. He partied with Julianne Hough and director Adam Shankman, though their costar Malin Akerman was off at Comic-Con. Malin nonetheless had Tom on the brain. Of Tom Cruise's playing Stacee Jaxx, Malin said, "You will be shocked. I kind of wasn't that surprised, because when Tom does something he does it 150 percent. So he really just brought his f*cking game, and he sounds like a rock star. I'm not kidding. He could be an opera singer if he wanted to. His voice is really powerful."

Susannah Chen — Sat, 23 Jul 2011 03:04:17 PDT

When the mercury rises, there's no more nostalgic way to cool off than with a good, old-fashioned fruit popsicle. But these days, restaurants, food trucks, and liquor brands are starting to serve grown-up ice pops spiked with a little shot of something extra.

I asked author, Grey Goose mixologist, and boozy ice pop extraordinaire Nick Mautone to offer some tips for making your own spiked paletas at home. To see his suggestions, read on.
