Just because Jude Law comes with a truckload of baggage (i.e., three kids, a weakness for nannies, a high recidivism rate with Sienna Miller and meet-ups with Lindsay Lohan) doesn't mean he's not a catch. People confirms the actor, 34, is cozying up to American-born socialite-cum-magazine editor Kim Hersov, 38, a divorced mother of two with whom he was first spotted back in February. "They met a couple of months ago and the relationship has been developing slowly," a Law insider tells the mag. "Neither of them wants to rush things." This cautious approach apparently doesn't extend to exotic vacations. The London Sun recently snapped the fledgling flames checking out the sites in Rajasthan, India.

Madonna's return trip to Malawi this week has reignited those persistent rumors about the state of her relationship with Guy Ritchie.

"Since then Guy and Madonna have rowed over the phone, screaming and shouting at each other." Meanwhile, Us Weekly says Madonna, with David and 10-year-old daughter Lourdes in tow, stopped by his former orphanage, which is home to about 500 children, and pledged that he would be their "ambassador to the world, and I will be mother of the orphanage."

Has Jessica Alba's romance with longtime love Cash Warren hit the skids? "Jessica and Cash are at different places in their lives right now," a snitch tells the New York Daily News, "but they're trying to work out their problems." The starlet's rep, however, pooh-poohs the talk of trouble to "Extra," while People says the snooze-inducing duo looked problem-free during a recent night out at Los Angeles hot spot Teddy's, where they were "dancing seductively together and sharing kisses."

And finally, more details are emerging about Jennifer Aniston's reported bread-breaking last week with "a tall, handsome blond man." A spy tells Us Weekly that the tête-à-tête was a "definite date," and offered this conclusion-leaping description of the actress' interaction with her "mystery man": "Jen was really into what he was saying and it looked like they were holding hands under the table."
