Jennifer Garner and daughter Violet Photo by: INF

• Jennifer Garner, toting around 16-month-old daughter Violet during a mother-daughter day in Brentwood, Calif. On the agenda for the sunglasses-sporting duo: a visit to a local equestrian center.

• Courteney Cox, sharing penne pasta in a spicy tomato sauce and a Caesar salad with pal (and Tobey Maguire's ladylove) Jennifer Meyer at West Hollywood eatery Il Sole. The trio was deep in conversation and spoke in hushed tones. Also making the scene: Keanu Reeves, who dined with his sister, and Lisa Marie Presley, who giggled with a friend.

• Zach Braff, ringing in his 32nd birthday with fellow Scrubs star Donald Faison at the Venetian hotel's Tao Nightclub in Las Vegas. The actors partied late into the night with a group of guys in the VIP section. The birthday fun continued the following evening at Jet Nightclub, where go-go dancers presented Braff (whose b-day is April 6) with a cake and bottle of Dom Perignon as the deejay played Frank Sinatra's version of "Happy Birthday."

• Adam Sandler, putting his baseball cap on the head of 11-month-old daughter Sadie during dinner with wife Jackie at Malibu eatery Allegria. The funnyman also pretended the baby's bottle was an airplane zooming down toward her, and made "whoosh, whoosh" sounds to get her to drink up. After their meal, Sandler chatted with nearby diners while Sadie adorably waved goodbye to them.

Creme

• Jessica Alba, browsing with a pal at Beverly Hills women's clothing boutique Creme. The actress – who told a store clerk that the shop was "beautiful and so out of the craziness of the area" – tried on several Corey Lynn Calter dresses, but left empty-handed. Next on her shopping list: stopping by canine couture shop Doggy Styles to shop for her pug, Sid.
