Lara Flynn Boyle recently Googled "Boyle Irish ancestry" ... Robert De Niro's iPod Classic is freezing every few days ... Patrick Dempsey has a hankering for PB&J with the crusts cut off, just like his mom, Amanda, used to do—paging Dr. Freud! ... Sally Field really, really likes Origins Oatmeal Facial Scrub ...
