Caught in the Act!

• When in New York City, eat … pizza! Carmen Electra enjoys a slice on the go while arriving for a photo shoot in the Big Apple.

• Keith Urban, catching a quick bronzing session at Manhattan’s Beach Bum Tanning Salon. “Keith was wearing a cowboy hat when he came in,” says an insider. While the country star tried to fly under the radar, fellow customers recognized him. (The hat probably didn’t help!) Still, says the source: “He was really friendly and really nice to everyone.” His treatment of choice? Urban did a 12-minute bed and “came out looking really great,” says the insider.

• Rachel Bilson, browsing at Zachary’s Smile, a vintage store in Manhattan’s East Village. Though she spent time trying on boots, the former O.C. cutie walked out of the store empty-handed.

• Comedian Dane Cook, warming up from the New York City chill with some chicken soup at the Brooklyn Diner in midtown Manhattan. Despite the frosty temperatures, Cook and his pal weren’t wearing coats outside. So before leaving, the restaurant’s floor manager offered up his coat to the comedian, who declined the warm apparel – but invited him to check out his comedy show.

• Javier Bardem, venturing out alone on a long shopping spree in Paris. With a cold rain masking his exit from his hotel, the Spanish hottie slipped past waiting paparazzi to check out over a half-dozen neighborhood men’s shops along the Rue Marbeuf and Avenue Montaigne. The No Country for Old Men star even posed for pictures with several fans before reentering the hotel.

• James Franco, catching a screening of American Gangster at the Pacific Theatres at The Grove in Los Angeles. There with a blonde female friend and three other pals, the actor walked his date into the theater with his arm wrapped around her shoulder. As the ladies in the group took their seats, Franco and his male friends hit the snack counter, ordering popcorn, hot dogs and some sodas, before returning to their seats for the movie.
