has stopped bymany times before in his career, but it still impresses the staff when he drops by to record. There is a photo of him in his hey-dey that is in the photo gallery above, courtesy of Studio City Sound, and then there is the recent photo where the whole staff had to jump in with Rod in the center.He came in to record recently with producer Chuck Kentis and he loves to visit his friend, SCS owner/mixer/engineer . . . . 

went to the dentist in Studio City recently, and she was also spotted this week (Thursday, in fact) getting some beauty treatments done. She's pregnant and a little less able to hide her baby bump . . .

totally charmed a few avid Tweet fans who met her at the  in Studio City. She was in picking up a gift, and she stopped to chat to the fans and they were on the social network immediately to say: "She was the nicest and sweetest person ever!!!!!!"

has been jetting in and out of El Lay, but while she's in town, she stocks up on "junk food" at (if there is and junk food there really). (See pictures here, and a few above in the Photo Gallery as she's rushing off in the airport.) Miley was buying some healthy chips, and then ran back up the hill to her new house. In another airport mad dash, with her boyfriend , and her parents, they were going to miss the flight. Photographers caught them at the LAX terminal and ran along with them, while papa went to the personnel and begged the airlines to keep the gate open for just a few more minutes. Miley, carrying her dog, and her mom Trish rushed through, but took time to stop to smile for cameras. They have to learn to get to the airport a bit sooner like the rest of us . . .

Eva Mendes, who lives locally, spent most of an afternoon heading to different clothing shops along Ventura Boulevard. She has a movie coming up with and called The Place Beyond the Pines, a gritty crime drama, but she's not speeding away in any Fast and Furious cars this time. Anyway, she looked stunning as always. . . .
