The Starlet

December 4, 2007

Anthony Hopkins was spotted dining at New Delhi Restaurant. And no, he didn’t order lamb, and everyone knows fava beans aren’t in season. Queen Latifah and about 15 guests came into Postrio’s bar area after her Sunday night performance at Davies Symphony Hall. She reportedly could not…
