Avid celebrity hunters have probably noticed that Rihanna is always at Giorgio Baldi. Is she really that much of a carb-freak or is this just the same sighting endlessly being regenerated by the blogosphere? It turns out the singer is actually pretty hooked on the place, as she tells Rolling Stone that she eats there three times a week. In fact, she even moved to the Palisades just to ease her access to Italian take-out, and has her own waiter named Marco. Guess we know now where she gets “Drunk on Love” and starts “Breakin’ Dishes.” In other news, LeAnn Rimes lost her composure and cried while leaving Hugo’s, Walter White had a family meal at Napa Valley Grille, Kim Kardashian enjoyed dinner at Nobu with Serena Williams, and Lindsay Lohan graced Dan Tana’s with a frazzled new look. All this and more in today’s Celebrity Settings.
