The long arm of the law has reached out and pulled actor Dennis Quaid to its chest, say eyewitnesses.

A videographer alleges Quaid was “hammered” when he left posh eatery Philippe in West Hollywood with his wife Kimberly after attending the premiere of One Peace At A Time.

Quaid made his way to his Caddy Escalade and was about to drive off when a friendly peace officer drove up alongside and advised him to give the idea a miss.

Quaid, 55, reportedly replied: “What do you want me to do?” Co-operating, the actor, who appeared in The Rise of the Cobra with Sienna Miller, went back into the restaurant with his wife -re-emerging later to get into a waiting cab.

A gaggle of photographers, meanwhile, were said to have teasingly reminded Quaid about Mel Gibson’s DUI episode, getting a laugh from the actor.

A pal told OK!: “Norman is old and hasn’t been doing well. She’s terrified her best friend could soon be gone.”

Jennifer is apparently so worried about him, money is not an object in keeping him alive.

The pal added: “When Norman started having joint stiffness and had a hard time getting up and walking, Jen hired a personal masseuse for him.

“He’s doing a lot better, but Jen is extremely paranoid about something else going wrong.

“Losing Norman would be a big blow.”

Hollywood actress Andie Macdowell has said she gets ‘embarrassed’ at taking her clothes off for a movie role.

The 51-year-old, who has previously starred in films such as St Elmo’s Fire and Four Weddings And A Funeral, admitted that she was shy at having to strip for new TV movies At Risk and The Front.

She told FOX News: “I play a real b***h. I was a narcissistic sex addict and had to sleep with young men. But it was embarrassing because I’m pretty shy and yet I had to look at myself in the mirror and take my clothes off.”

Andie added that it is easy for older women to fade into obscurity and said she hopes to work as long as she can.

She said: “We live in a society that sees getting older in a certain way, but I keep trying to tell myself of my value and my worth. I’m really comfortable with my age, I’m 51 and I have no shame whatsoever and I’m really comfortable in my skin.

“I may not be the lead or I may not get the starring roles that I used to because so many movies revolve around youth, but I refuse to go away because I enjoy it.”

Ryan Gosling is currently touring with Zach Shields as the Dead Man’s Bones. The 28-year old actor and musician recently had an interview with the Canadian Press talking about their shows saying “Twelve cities in 14 days, a different choir in every city, and then a talent show opening for us in every city with local talent.” Ryan also shared about writing while on tour, saying “It’s hard to tour this record and also do writing, but a lot of what we end up writing for the next record just finds some way into the live show…into our old songs, so I think that we’re playing our songs differently now.”

Bosses at the Tate Modern in London could lose hundreds of thousands of pounds after they were forced to remove a naked image of Brooke Shields aged 10 from an exhibition.

The gallery was forced to replace the naked photo, called Spiritual America, after a number of complaints and a visit by the Met’s Obscene Publications Unit.

The photo was was replaced with a picture of Shields aged 40 in a bikini.

However, the museum has been left with 12,000 catalogues with the original photo in and there could be a backlash if they go on sale.

Some of the catalogues have already gone on sale with a sticker over the image but bosses still have 10,000 paperbacks costing £24.99 each and 2,000 hardbacks costing £35, which could mean £320,000 is lost.

Actress Marcia Cross of Desperate Housewives fame says her tiny twins have mirrored her own boring dress sense.

Just two-and-a-half, the twin girls, Eden and Savannah, were given free reign over their clothes. But they have chosen to stick to rigid and understated codes, Cross marvels.

She told Ellen DeGeneres on her show: “I thought maybe these girls will have a little something going on. So I was like, ‘Whatever you want to wear’.”

She went on: “I have one who will only wear navy blue from head to toe – that’s Savannah, who we call Savvy. Socks, underwear, leggings, shirt and navy blue ties in her hair. Eden will only wear a green shirt and black pants. It looks like I’m a really boring dresser and now I dress my kids that way, but truthfully it was [their] choice!”

The girls are Cross’s daughters with Tom Mahoney. Cross, despite her words, cuts a very glamorous flame-haired figure on Housewives.

“I get along with her really well. I was so honored when she asked me to do it.”

Kim admitted that she loves the show because it’s got the “real excitement factor”.

She said: “I’m such a huge fan, always was. I watched it from the start. It teaches girls what it really takes to be a model.

“Sometimes people think it’s the easiest job in the world to just pose and all you’re doing is taking pictures, but that’s just a small side to it.

“There’s the business side of things and of course it’s really competitive and it’s got a real excitement factor.”

Kim Kardashian is reportedly feeling like the odd one out after her two sisters are getting married and planning babies.

The 28-year-old is dating NFL star Reggie Bush, but her younger sister Khloe, 25, recently married boyfriend Lamar Odom and sister Kourtney, 30, is expecting a baby at Christmas.

A source said to FOX411: “Kim didn’t expect to be the last of the three Kardashian sisters married and having kids.

“Khloe will be travelling with Lamar and eventually wants to have babies with him while Kourtney and Scott are talking about a wedding next year after the baby… there’s actually a lot of competition between the sisters and Kim had a moment where she felt like the lame single one who was too focused on her work.”

Kourtney and boyfriend Scott Disick, 26, are expecting their first child, a boy, in December and insiders say she is already a “little mother”.

The insider added: “Kim is nothing but excited for Kourtney’s new baby and is turning into a little mother already.

“She is practising with every child that comes her way and gets down in public and picks up and plays with strangers’ children. Kim is excited about the birth and plans on being in the delivery room with Kourtney.

“Kim, Kourtney and Khloe were always competitive as children and now Kourtney and Khloe can finally compete evenly with Kim in adulthood.

“In years past, Kourtney and Khloe felt like second string sometimes, but they are rising to the top on their own power now. The three of them will always fight and yell and then make up.”

New Moon director Chris Weitz said he “sympathizes” with fans who just want to watch scenes featuring Robert Pattinson.

Chris, 29, explained how they got round the fact that Robert Pattinson’s character Edward Cullen isn’t in a lot of the movie, which has been adapted from the novel by Stephenie Meyer.

He said to The Hollywood Reporter: “There are two heartthrobs in this movie, not just Rob, but Taylor Lautner. Part of the point was that Edward was away.

“Readers of the book know this and appreciate it. The story is about loss and heartache; he is present as an absence. Bella is always thinking of him and affected by him.

“His return to the film is really powerful and made more so by not having millions of ‘back at the ranch’ scenes.

“And the middle of the movie is sustained by Kristen’s [Stewart] amazing performance and by Taylor doing a lovely job as her best friend.

“There are people who would like nothing more than two hours of Rob Pattinson standing there, and I sympathise with them. But I think they’ll appreciate getting him back after the second act.”
