Is the Government Mad For Not Testing More Cows?
Last Friday the Bush administration asked a federal appeals court to stop allowing meatpackers to test all animals for mad cow disease. That's right, the government wants companies to test fewer animals.

Robert, Kristen, and the New Moon Cast Pause to Party
Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner were together for last night's special NYC screening of New Moon along with their many costars. It looks like they split up for the afterparty, though, with Robert and Kristen spotted afterward looking far more casual on their way out of a lounge in the city's Meatpacking District. The official afterparty was held in a different neighborhood at The Box, where Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr were spotted making a hasty retreat in the rain.
Cameron Hits Up Empty Meatpacking For Some Lunch
NYC Meatpacking District's Pastis held court for Cameron Diaz and friends for lunch yesterday afternoon. (Perhaps, in rumor-y dreams, she was gabbing about her recent friend time with JT.) The actress' upcoming projects seem to be entirely limited to the Shrek Empire, so I assume she's got some time for leisurely lunches and paycheck spending at upscale boutiques. Rough life.

Spotted: Dan Humphrey Getting It On With Hilary Duff!
Blake Lively and Chace Crawford filmed a scene in the Meatpacking District of New York City earlier this week, looking all dressed up in front of the cameras.
