Who's making their holiday time a little hotter? Why, it's Mario Lopez! We found him looking supremely interested in girlfriend Karina Smirnoff's tan lines (or something) this weekend. While I know that most of the girls out there still see him as Slater, our male Splash readers will appreciate these photos of Karina. :P

Just when I thought that my day was Britney-free after her birthday photos, here she comes again! Brit left a private party along with Paris Hilton and Ali Sims in Bel Air in a super media frenzy. Look at that crowd. . . I don't know how they can face that every day! Oh, yeah, and there is also another extreme cleavage shot coming up. Click if you dare.

The context's not particularly clear, but the tone certainly is. . . Montel Williams' threatening message to reporters came about after an earlier confrontation in Savannah, Georgia. The talk show host was promoting a program to give low-income people access to free medical prescriptions when he became upset with a certain reporter's questions. According to a witness, when the reporter returned to the hotel for an unrelated job, Montel became enraged. "As we were preparing to film, Montel walked up with his bodyguard and got in Courtney Scott's face pointing his finger telling her 'Don't look at me like that. Do you know who I am? I'm a big star, and I can look you up, find where you live and blow you up,'" said Joseph Cosey. "I'm a big star." Ummm. I'm let you guys hash that one out. Stock picture by Scott Doctor

Josh Groban was seen by our Splash team in New York City leaving his hotel. . . he looks the tiniest bit like a taller Andy Dick, but a heck of a lot more lovable. (Erm, this could just be me, we'll see.) We may have caught a lot of people shopping this weekend, but Josh was actually going to work when we saw him yesterday!

I hate to admit it, but Paris Hilton has pulled herself up by her fashion bootstraps and ended up looking fabulous! She was seen here at the Scandinavian Mansion of Style Party in Bel Air, California wearing a smart dress and coat, which is sooo much better than yesterday's frilly business.

Well, we did happen to catch Eva Longoria shopping around New York today on her search for new sunglasses, but because today has been so gray and icky, I was more excited to see her coming out the salon with a fabulous new 'do. Splash caught up with Eva on her way out in midtown New York. While you're taking a look at the thumbnails, please note how incredibly giant her purse actually is. It dwarfs her!
