Star Sightings: Paris in Hiding and Halle’s Beauty Swipe
August 2, 2004

With one celebrity wedding, several big parties and a couple of late nights, it was a big weekend for the stars. And from the beaches of California to the Big Apple, "Extra" was there to cover all the happenings.

Paris Hilton was in hiding this weekend in the Hamptons. On Friday, "Extra" uncovered shocking photos of a badly bruised Paris at the Los Angeles airport. Her mom and sister, Nicky, were spotted taking in some polo, but Paris laid low.

The New York Post quoted a source claiming Paris’ ex-boyfriend, Backstreet Boy Nick Carter, is responsible for the heiress’ fat lip and bruised eye. But Carter’s publicist told "Extra" the claims are, "false and defamatory."

Meanwhile, Carter himself was spotted on the opposite coast spending time with his brother, Aaron, and a new blonde gal pal on the beach. He then went clubbing with the likes of Bruce Willis, Quincy Jones and fellow Backstreet Boy Kevin Richardson.

Back in the East, Howard Stern and his girlfriend, Beth Ostrosky, spent the weekend in New York celebrating Beth’s Hampton’s magazine cover, and the shock jock was so excited by the sexy swimsuit shots he gave Editor Jason Binn the ultimate honor.

"He's made a great night for me," Stern said. "Thank you Jason. In fact, I want to tell you something. Our dog Bianca, we changed her name from Bianca to Bianca Binn."

And after ringing out the wedding bells for the third time, Nicolas Cage went bi-coastal this weekend. The actor and his new bride, Alice Kim, reportedly married on Friday. The newlyweds were spotted the day after in San Francisco grabbing lunch. They then headed for a private air strip where they jetted off to the Big Apple, and a New York City shopping spree.

Christine Taylor received a big surprise Saturday night in Hollywood, when Luke Wilson, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Ellen DeGeneres and more surprised the actress on her 33rd birthday at the Los Angeles hot spot, Falcon. "The party was great, and it surprised the heck out of her," Wilson said.

And across the pond, "Catwoman" is taking a swipe at Hollywood’s obsession with plastic surgery. Halle Berry, one of the most beautiful women in the world, issued strong words of warning while in Europe promoting her film: "I do think that we have become obsessed with beauty and that fountain of youth. I frankly am personally saddened by the way women start to just really mutilate their faces in search of that."
