How well behaved are things in Tineseltown? 

Well, it was big news that David and Victoria Beckham had dinner with Madonna at Nobe last night, though I wonder how among that crowd how much food was actually consumed. If that isn't tame enough, the emcee of tonight's Lucky Brand gala in Beverley Hills is David Spade. A guy only old men find funny and has-beens find attractive. Long story short - not a lot of bite there. The real star power will probably be, as it often is, courtside at the Lakers game as Kobe and the gang take on the Detroit Pistons.

It is a sad slow day in tabloidland when the real celeb story is Kayne West getting arrested in a bust up with paparazzi over in the UK. What happen to the days of Robert Downey Jr. driving naked down the Sunset Strip? Instead Amy Winehouse, who is never that far from standing up to fall down, seems to be living that little bit cleaner, Britney Spears is calmly planning the release of her new album, being a good mom and showing up on stage with Madonna demurely dressed, Paris Hilton is holding it together having lost her bid for the White House and, despite the unwelcome presence of her potentially sex tape making ex Calum Best at a nightclub where current love Samantha Ronson was DJing, Lindsay Lohan really seems lucky in love. As is Kendra Wilkinson. The former girlfriend of Hugh Hefner and one of the stars of Girls Next Door, is settling down to marry the Philadelphia Eagles' Hank Baskett.

Even the fictional lothario and laconic Vince Chase on HBO's Hollywood drama Entourage is trying to shape up, get a good night’s sleep and concentrate on being a good actor. His co-star Jerry Ferrara, who plays sidekick Turtle, might actually be dating the former meadow Sopranos star Jamie-Lynn Sigler, who he may be dating on the show. So sweet.

The best there was in the bad boy category this week was British comedian Russell Brand bragging to David Letterman about how he knocks women up by letting them think he is either sensitive and sweet or gay until the moment things get intimate. Smooth, the more of a rat's nest Brand's trademark hair becomes the less of a charmer he seems. 

So really that's it.

Yes, the ongoing family feud of Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston continues, especially now that Angie has confirmed what we all knew, that something was going on between her and Brad Pitt while they were filming Mr. and Mrs. Smith in 2005 and while Pitt was still married to Aniston. Wow! Talk about yesterday’s news. Now Brad is supposedly ticked about Jen bringing up how upsetting she found the news in a recent Vogue article. I bet Jen's on-again, off-again, back on-again boyfriend balladeer and media spotlight lover John Meyer will try to get a song out of it, likely less "Your Body is a Wonderland" and more "Your Hang-Ups are a Minefield." But, to be honest, it all feels a bit old. 

Could Jen and Brad at least hook up for a dirty weekend at the Roosevelt Hotel instead of John and Jen being so normal all of a sudden. Could John Mayer profess a deep attraction to Angelina, but insist he's sticking with Jen so we could geta few weeks of betrayal stories? Could Mickey Rourke, hot off critical praise for the upcoming The Wrestler, some how get into the mix and make it truly interesting?

We all turn our snobby noses up at the antics of Hollywood, but, as the saying goes, you don't know what you've got until it's gone.

Will the bad boys and girls please come back? … We're getting restless.
