After a "smooch-filled" lunch at L.A.'s Urth Caffé, Jesse James and girlfriend Kat Von D headed down the street for some hands-on shopping at J. Gerard Design Studio and Peace Gallery. While the LA Ink star browsed couture gowns, James doted on her. "He kept on kissing her and wrapping his arms around her from behind," the onlooker says of the duo, who "were finishing each other's sentences." Adds the onlooker: "The romantic chemistry was palpable." The two also picked up his and hers "Rebel with a Cause" T-shirts, and James bought Von D a glass bead lariat-style necklace, which she wore out the door. • Gossip Girl stars Penn Badgley and Blake Lively, shopping together at Bloomingdale's in downtown New York.

Blue Bloods

'Blue Bloods' (10PM ET Friday, CBS) sounds good on paper. Yet despite its good cast and competent execution, this drama about a family of New York cops feels a bit perfunctory. There's nothing necessarily wrong with the drama, which is ably headed by Tom Selleck, but there's every chance that 'Blue Bloods' will turn out to be just another cop show. We aren't short of those.I suppose there's a small chance that 'Blue Bloods' could turn out to be something more than the sum of its parts, a la 'The Good Wife,' which turned out to be more than just another legal drama (though the law cases are often timely and provocative enough to be interesting on their own). But the majority of the 'Blue Bloods' pilot concerns the kidnapping of a little girl,...

Spencer Legrande

The Bishop Eddie Long scandal (photos below) grew Friday as Spencer LeGrande was added as the fourth plaintiff with new allegations about sleeping pills (Ambien). The Bishop Eddie Long’s scandal had begun this week with two plaintiffs, Maurice Robinson and Anthony Flagg; by midweek, Jamal Parris was making similar allegations; and today, Spencer LeGrande comes forward with claims that read distinctly similar to those made by the previous three plaintiffs.Spencer LeGrande is now 22, but at the time Eddie Long began alleged interest in LeGrande, Spencer was only 17. Previously another plaintiff claimed interaction starting at age 15. But while Spencer LeGrande’s allegations carry a unique similarity to those of Parris, Flagg, and Robinson, there is one stark difference: allegations of sleeping...

Albert Greenwood Brown

Albert Greenwood Brown, convicted in 1980 of the abduction, rape and murder of a 15th year old girl in Riverside, is scheduled to be executed Wednesday, September 29. His lawyers have asked Judge Jeremy Fogel of the Northern District Court to delay the execution in order to examine whether his 2006 order to upgrade lethal injection procedures has been respected. Executions have been barred since 2006 and this will be the first one since Judge Fogel’s order. These are the new regulations as they appear on the CDCR website.More details about Brown, the case, his subsequent appeals, and the execution ban due to the order can be found on the CNN news blog; and here is the 9th Circuit decision rejecting Brown’s arguments regarding ineffective assistance...

Amber Dubois

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger Friday signed three measures designed to bring abducted children home before they fall victims to horrific crimes, like what happened to Escondido teenager Amber Dubois.“We’re ecstatic, Hopefully this will help,” said Moe Dubois, Amber’s father who sponsored the legislation in her memory.Amber, 14, was snatched from an Escondido street in February 2009. Her body was found earlier this year.A convicted sex offender, John Albert Gardner in April pleaded guilty to the crime and also to raping and murdering Poway teenager Chelsea King in February of this year. He is serving two life sentences without the possibility of parole. The latter incident resulted in the broader “Chelsea’s Law” to crackdown on sex offenders.Earlier this year, Dubois stressed the need for the...

When a Stranger Calls Movie

The smartest thing about the remake of When a Stranger Calls is that it strips the original 1979 version to its bare essentials as a primal exercise in stormy-night terror. While taking the original film’s suspenseful first act and expanding it into an 87-minute cat-and-mouse game, screenwriter Jake Wade Wall adds a few clever updates involving cellphones and home-security services, as well as the maze-like menace of a lavish modern home that serves as the setting for mayhem when cute teenager Jill (Camilla Belle, in the role originated by Carol Kane) takes on a babysitting job that she may live to regret. Someone is stalking her in the big, expensive glass palace that her employers call home (a splendid set designed by Jon Gary Steele), and...

Csi Ny

When 'CSI: NY' returns for its seventh season, it'll be the new kid on the block -- the Friday night block. The series has moved from its former Wednesday timeslot to air Fridays at 9PM ET on CBS. And that's not the only big change to take place: Original star Melina Kanakaredes, who left the series this summer, is being replaced by Emmy-winning actress Sela Ward. The only thing not changing, it seems, is the location -- still New York, New York.During a location shoot in Central Park, Ward told us how happy she was to join the veteran hit series. "I'm loving being on the show. I love the character, love Gary Sinise, love all of the cast," she said, adding "It's very different for me, so I'd be lying if I didn't say this may be the hardest...

Sela Ward

Sela Ward didn’t have much to go on when she was offered “CSI: NY,” but one factor made all the difference: Gary Sinise.The Emmy winner for both “Sisters” and “Once and Again” returns to series work when she joins the CBS crime drama in its seventh-season premiere Friday, Sept. 24. Replacing Melina Kanakaredes — who opted out of the show — Ward is creating a fresh character as forensics detective Jo Danville, giving her lots of interaction with Sinise’s alter ego Mac Taylor.And that’s something Ward couldn’t resist.The actress has fond memories of the time she and Sinise shared on the award circuit in the mid-’90s when they were winning honors for cable-movie biographies, she for Lifetime’s “Almost Golden: The Jessica Savitch Story” and he...

Melina Kanakaredes

Gary Sinise returns as Detective Mac Taylor in this Friday's season premiere of 'CSI: New York.' There are a few changes for the season ahead: Not only a brand new time slot but long time star Melina Kanakaredes is out, replaced by Sela Ward. PopEater spoke to star Gary Sinise about the changes to expect for the upcoming season, what goes through his head when he hears The Who, what it's like being mentioned by Ari Gold on 'Entourage' and considers new trademarks in an attempt compete with Caruso's sunglasses.'CSI: New York' has a big cast member change this year. Melina Kanakaredes left the show, and Sela Ward is replacing her. On a character driven show, this can really hurt. Well, the franchise is strong. It's a very solid formula on our...

Raising Hope

Fox’s back-to-back new sitcoms, Raising Hope and Running Wilde, premiered on Tuesday night, and two more different shows are difficult to imagine.Raising Hope is from Greg Garcia, the writer-producer who gave us My Name Is Earl. Like Earl, Raising Hope is grungy and low-down, interested in the challenges faced by at least 90% of America: How to take care of your family, make money, find time for love. The premise is a nicely exaggerated one that’s quickly rooted firmly in Garcia’s brand of sitcom reality. A teen (Lucas Neff) acquires a baby from a one-night stand; he decides to keep the kid and raise it, even though he’s still being raised at home by his parents (the terrific Garret Dillahunt and the wonderful Martha Plimpton). Cloris Leachman...
