- And while we're at it: Natalie Portman and "mate" (a polite term for "baby daddy", generally reserved for zoo animals) had dinner at Cindy's Backstreet Kitchen in St. Helena.

- Sexy sports news: some ladies who won a lot of volleyball together, one of whom is from San jose, will continue playing volleyball together. Will probably beat the crap out of everybody again at 2012 Olympics. (Wait, is it really almost time for the olympics again?) [CBSLocal]
- Tuesdays and Wednesdays in March means $2 drinks at Larry Flynt's Hustler Club. [BrokeAssStuart]
