• Amanda Bynes enjoyed a night out at new West Hollywood nightspot Mi-6, sitting at a table filled with guys. Despite the crowded table, though, the actress seemed content to just dance to the music in her seat, shaking her shoulders and smiling. Bynes also was busy people-watching. And there were lots of stars to see, including Emile Hirsch, who sipped drinks on the dancefloor, Jesse McCartney, who was surrounded by guy friends, and Frankie Delgado, who loved being the center of attention as he worked the room.

• In Atlanta to shoot her movie Life as We Know It, Katherine Heigl took new daughter Naleigh to the high-end Lenox Square Mall in Buckhead for a walk. Says a source: "She looked happy."

• Amy Poehler dined out at Vento in New York with former Saturday Night Live castmate Rachel Dratch. Since the Parks and Recreation star is a regular there, her server brought over a bottle of her favorite wine – the Ex Libre Cabernet Sauvignon – on the house. The ladies also ate pasta and chocolate fudge cake and gelato for dessert. They were also joined for after-dinner drinks by Seth Meyers and friends.

It's the first day of Fashion Week and it appears that Anna Wintour is already a little stressed. Before, whenever we've skittered past her front-row seat to get to our own less-coveted real estate, La Wintour would be wearing, almost exclusively, an expression of extreme calm and pleasantness. Forced? Maybe yet effective nevertheless. But today at BCBG, just as we scampered by, Anna yanked out her cell phone. "Hello?" she snapped with a tone we could only describe as, well, crabby. To whomever was on the other end of that call: Our prayers are with you, dude.
