Just when you thought George Clooney couldn't get any hotter -- he takes off his shirt.

With Sarah Larson nowhere in sight, the 47-year-old and his boy friends hung out in Puerto Vallarta on Thursday.
You're welcome.

Wesley Snipes just got a little more time to practice not dropping the soap in the shower: TMZ has learned that Wes won't have to check into the big house until his appeal -- should it be granted -- is finished.

The judge in his tax evasion case in Florida just issued an order granting Snipes bail until his appeal goes through. The message from the judge is that this could take a while: "The Court recognizes that ... the disposition of an appeal may well equal -- or nearly equal -- the length of the term of the commitment imposed."
The big question is: Will Snipes pull a Martha Stewart and just check himself in anyway to get this behind him?
Story developing ...

Paris Hilton went shopping for art supplies yesterday -- but seemed more interesting in painting her face than painting a canvas.

No, this is not a "Sex and the City" spoiler.

It's just Chris Noth, aka Mr. Big, and his 4-month-old son Orion Christopher, aka Mr. Lil' Big, out on a stroll through West Hollywood on Wednesday.
Forget the Manolos, he's the cutest accessory ever!

It's a good thing David Archuleta didn't win "Idol" last night -- because how on earth would he have driven this beast!

Ultra Motorcycle Co. of Temecula, Calif. made this custom chopper for "Idol's" winner. Even though David Cook might want to use the vehicle to get as far away from "AI" as possible, he'll have the judges along for the ride -- their mugs are painted all over the back of the bike. (Sorry, but that drawing of Randy? A little pitchy, dog.)
And that itch in his crotch? Could be his predecessors on the "Idol" throne -- that includes Fantasia and Taylor Whatshisname -- are painted right on the gas tank.

In a move totally out of character, Tom Cruise has sicked his lawyers on luxury baby boutique Petit Tresor, accusing them of babbling to the tabs about Suri's outrageously expensive designer Scientoloduds.

According to the cease and desist letter sent by Cruise's law firm, the store leaked false info that Suri's parents dropped a cool $350 - $400K on the tot's wardrobe over the last two years. Tom and Katie's mouthpieces claim the store violated their clients' right of privacy.
The lawyers are asking the store to, "not say anything (whether true or false) about Mr. Cruise and Ms. Holmes' shopping habits."
When TMZ spoke to Petit's Andy Behrman all we got was, "Are we allowed to comment?"

In the '70s and '80s, Daryl Hall and John Oates -- and their hair -- topped the charts with songs like "Rich Girl," "Kiss on My List" and "Maneater." Guess what they look like now!

So everyone knows that Diddy is the new $100 mil brand-builder (don't say spokesman!) for Ciroc vodka -- but a source tells TMZ that the folks who make Ciroc are pissed that he's still quaffing 1800 Tequila like water.
Puff stands to make a fortune from his multi-year Ciroc deal, but the man does love his 1800 -- we hear he's been ordering it everywhere from Nobu to Prive, and Ciroc's parent Diageo -- who paid him to pump out the hooch -- isn't happy.
Neither P.'s peeps nor a Diageo rep got back to us with comment.

Eighties actress Lea Thompson has the best/most crackpot idea we've heard in ages -- turn cult fav/critically abysmal "Howard the Duck" into a Broadway musical!

Hey, it worked for "Hairspray." Of course that plot was a bit more relatable than a talking duck fighting a Dark Overlord in Cleveland.

Don't expect Antonio Fargas -- who played Huggy Bear in the original "Starsky and Hutch" -- to reprise his role in an over-the-hill sequel any time soon.

Sylvester Stallone, cough. Harrison Ford, cough.

David Archuleta's "Idol" dream wasn't the only thing that got smashed last night -- check out Fantasia's boyfriend!


He looked good coming out of dinner -- but less than two hours later, at the "Idol" finale after party, the guy was completely obliterated, just like Fantasia's career.

Our photog told Audrina Patridge that we had a poll on the website asking if her hills were real or fake ... problem is, that poll doesn't exist.

Sorry, "didn't" exist.

Kenny Chesney partied with all sorts of hot chicks in Vegas this week -- too bad he only saw 'em with about 20% of his eyeballs.

SpyOnVegas snapped the squinty-faced singer behind songs like "Beer in Mexico" and "Keg in the Closet" at the Playboy club looking like .... well, he wasn't looking at all.
Instead, the former Mr. Renee Zellweger was focused on trying not to fall over, as two blondes used the guy as a human stripper pole. Kenny look a little stiff to you?

Gastric-bypass babe Carnie Wilson has weathered life's ups and downs.

Although she showed off all of her reupholstered lady lumps in a 2003 Playboy pictorial, the former Wilson Phillips singer appears to have reverted back to her more natural self while at a L.A. car wash on Wednesday.
Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes, people.
