Kate Beckinsale gets in some pre-Oscars parties before Sunday.

Earlier today, the 34-year-old British beauty attended Los Angeles Confidential Magazine’s pre-Oscar luncheon held at the Mondrian Hotel in West Hollywood. Kate (in vintage YSL) posed with fellow actor Dennis Hopper and Niche Media CEO Jason Binn.

The night before, Ms. Beckinsale attended the 1st Hollywood Domino Tournament hosted at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

How cute is the picture of Kate Beckinsale’s husband Len Wiseman kissing the poster of Kate?!

The Office star Jenna Fischer, aka Pam Beesley, just blogged about “finally” being stalked by paparazzi. Here’s how it went down:

My sister Emily came in town for Presidents Weekend. We like to do a “Sisters Only” weekend once a year. We had a great time. We got tea with [pregnant costar Angela Kinsey]. We got manicures and pedicures. We made dinner with my friend Jennifer (writer of the famous Project Runway blog) and played “I Love the 80s”…which is a great game.

ANYWAY, my sister and I were at Bristol Farms grocery store in Beverly Hills. (This is not my usual store. It just happened to be on our way.) The store was really crowded and I was getting grouchy. Lots of congestion and carts and people stopping in the middle of the aisle…you know how it goes.

After we check out, I load up my arms with bags so we don’t have to deal with the cart. I’m dying to get out of the store because I’m starting to get a cold and I’m getting crabbier by the minute. I walk outside and a photographer pops up from behind some cars and points this HUGE camera in my direction.

My first thought was “Whoa! There must be a really famous person shopping here!” I turned around to see who it was. That’s when I realized the famous person was me. I freaked out. My instinct was to duck and run. I look over my shoulder and my sister is stuck behind 4 people. She’s decided to put the cart away…so I give her a look like, “Ditch the cart! Hurry up!” She’s all confused thinking, “Why is my sister running and why does she hate this cart so much?”

I’m half hiding behind a pillar and feeling pretty stupid at this point. The bags are heavy and I’m annoyed that I don’t have the cart. I’m thinking two things, “Hurry up Emily we have to get out of here before they photograph us!” and “Hurry up Emily! You have to stand next to me because it would be so cool if you are in my first paparazzi moment!” My sister finds me and says, “Why are you slouching behind a pillar and why didn’t you want me to put the cart away?” I tell her what happened. But now I can’t see the photographer and I look like a total idiot. I’m embarrassed and fairly certain he WAS waiting for someone else.

We walk to the car and sure enough he comes running up out of nowhere, sprints ahead of us and takes a bunch of photos as we load the car. It was crazy. We didn’t know what to do. So I started smiling. And then my sister started smiling. Like, big stupid smiles. Because that’s what you do when you load groceries in your trunk right? You smile! Because loading groceries is SO FUN! YAY! Look at how much we LOVE to load groceries everyone!

We get in the car and she immediately tries to call her husband. He’s not there. We try calling my parents…no answer. Emily says we should have told the photographer she was my sister because now if she is in a magazine it will say “Jenna Fischer and Friend”. I tell her I’m not sure how that works.

There you have it! Now I hope it never happens again.

We start back to work on The Office the week of March 3rd. We are doing 6 episodes. The sixth will be an hour long finale. Our first episode back is The Dinner Party. Michael and Jan throw a dinner party for a few of the Dunder-Mifflin couples. It’s HILARIOUS. We had just started filming when we got shut down. I don’t know anything else from there. I’ll be curious to see how the writers condense the stories with only 6 episodes left this season.

The new satirical website StuffWhitePeopleLike.com is brilliant!

The very snarky and amusing blog acerbically profiles the status-climbing strategies of white people. If you still don’t get what the blog is about, maybe its ‘About Me’ description will help: “This is a scientific approach to highlight and explain stuff white people like. They are pretty predictable.”

Here, take some examples:

#69 Mos Def — “He is everything that white people dream about: authentic (”he’s from Brooklyn!”), funny (”he was on Chapelle show!”), artistic (have you heard “Black on Both Sides?”), an actor (”he’s in the new Gondry film!”) and not white (”I don’t see race”).
#43 Plays — “In spite of plays having minimal sets, no special effects, an intermission, and a higher admission price, white people believe that live theater is essential to any cultured city.”
#42 Sushi — “Regardless if you are vegetarian, vegan, or just guilty about eating meat, all white people love Sushi. To them, it’s everything they want: foreign culture, expensive, healthy, and hated by the ‘uneducated.’”
#8 Barack Obama — “Because white people are afraid that if they don’t like him that they will be called racist.”
#7 Diversity — “White people love ethnic diversity, but only as it relates to restaurants.”

Lush grasslands spread their seeds in the wind around the town of Hajdudorog in Hungary. The world's grasslands ecosystems all have common characteristics, yet each boasts unique plants and animal species.

Terraced fields like these have been used by different cultures around the world for thousands of years to farm areas of sloped land that are too steep for conventional methods.

An early winter snow dusts grasslands in Paradise Valley in Montana. This land was once Native American territory, inhabited by Lakota, Sioux, Cheyenne, Crow, and other Plains Indian nations.

Dawn illuminates Little Missouri National Grassland in North Dakota. As many as 60 million bison once grazed these lands. Today only about 200,000 remain.

Rows of winter wheat wind their way to the Colorado horizon. Because North American grasslands have such fertile soil, most of the natural landscape has been converted to farmland.

A black-tailed prairie dog perks up outside his burrow in South Dakota. These playful rodents live in well-organized underground burrows called towns that can have populations in the thousands.

A storm rolls in over New Mexico grasslands with the Sangre de Cristo Mountain in the distance. All the land between the Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi River from Texas to Saskatchewan used to be a giant expanse of prairie.

Mother Nature paints an electric-blue sky with a bold twist of lightning. Lightning and thunder occur simultaneously, but because light travels faster than sound, we see lightning first. Count the seconds between a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder and divide by five to estimate how far away in miles the storm is. Divide by three for kilometers.

Shocks of lightning split a cloud formation over Lake Tanganyika in Tanzania. Tanzania's neighbor, the Democratic Republic of Congo, is home to the world's most lightning-pelted region, which, according to NASA, absorbs 158 thunderbolts per square kilometer (0.4 square miles) every year.

Lightning streaks across the sky over Vinales Valley, Cuba. Lightning can travel up to 93,000 miles (150,000 kilometers) per second and reach temperatures of 54,000 degrees Fahrenheit (30,000 degrees Celsius), more than four times hotter than the surface of the sun.

Whips of lightning cut a dramatic scene across a storm-darkened sky in Patagonia, Argentina. Most lightning occurs within cumulonimbus clouds like these, but it can also be released from wide, layered formations called stratiform clouds.

An explorer descends into the Majlis al Jinn cave in Oman. At more than 50 stories deep, it's one of the largest caves in the world. The cavers' mission is to determine if Oman's deep caverns could be safe for tourists to enter.

A caver overlooks razor-edged limestone pinnacles sharp enough to kill a man in Borneo's Tardis Cave. Such spires take millions of years to form as water dissolves the limestone. Tardis is one of many caves in Borneo's Gunung Buda, or White Mountain.

The deepest known cave pit in the continental United States, Fantastic Pit in Georgia's Ellison's Cave descends 586 feet (179 meters) straight down.

Containing some 600 paintings, Lascaux Cave in France's Dordogne River Valley is home to perhaps the world's most incredible array of Upper Paleolithic art. Prehistoric artists created the depictions of bulls and other animals on the cave's calcite walls more than 17,000 years ago. The cave—and its artwork—was discovered by a group of teenagers in 1940.

A spelunker begins his 1,234-foot (376-meter) descent into Sótano de las Golondrinas in San Luis Potosí, Mexico. The cave's entrance is the second deepest in the world, making the lengthy ascent out dangerous and difficult for even the most seasoned cavers.

A hiker peers out of an ice cave on Mount Kenya's north face. No matter their location, ice caves contain a significant amount of ice year-round.

Ancient Mayans created negative handprints on the walls of what we now call Handprint Cave in western Belize by taking pigment and blowing it on the walls around their hands.

A caver descends into Hytop Drop, a 98-foot-deep (30-meter deep) pit in the Walls of Jericho, Tennessee. Located near the border with Alabama, the Walls of Jericho is a large, bowl-shaped natural amphitheater, nicknamed the Grand Canyon of the South.

Meltwater sculpted the dagger-like shaft of ice near a cave in Matanuska Glacier in Alaska's Chugach Mountains. Matanuska is an active glacier, advancing about one foot (0.3 meters) every day.

A skeleton from a Maya human sacrifice turns to stone in the Actun Tunichil Muknal Cave in Cayo, Belize. To date, the remains of 14 victims have been found in the cave, also known as the Cave of the Stone Sepulcher.
