Remember when Mischa Barton was involuntarily committed this past July? Well, we finally found out why. It's because her teeth hurt. That's probably the worst rehab excuse we've ever heard. Why not just go with "exhaustion?"

Kari Ann Peniche, whose naked playtime with Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart we posted last week is going on E! to talk about the scandal. Meanwhile, her bosom bathing buddies hit the road to get out of the paparazzi's eye.

We'll admit that we stopped paying attention to the new 90210 after they demoted Lucille Bluth, but it appears from these on-set photos that producers have figured out an exciting new guest star for their reboot: the Nip Slip! Our old friend N.S. shared scenes with show lioness AnnaLynne McCord, who we remember fondly for her work on Nip/Tuck (and who probably should have kept her nip tucked here, hey-o).

Palate Refresher! And now, we offer you something completely different: a picture of Jessica Alba in character as, uh, "a young woman who has retreated from the world and is consumed by numbers and math" in her upcoming film, An Invisible Sign of My Own. Here in California, we're still a little consumed with the number 8, so it's relief to lose ourselves in Alba's mousy brown hair, Ugly Betty garb, and shocking lack of makeup (this proves that she is smart because smart girls do not wear makeup, say the movies). Jess, we know you're trying to pull off the Oscar move known as "the Charlize," but we think we like you better when you're glammed up and muzzling the chick from Heroes. Click through for full-size.
