The Hunger Games actress Elizabeth Banks was seen Friday night at the bar at Edge, Steak & Bar at The Four Seasons Hotel. Banks, with a woman who seemed to have been her publicist, was, says our spy, “very pretty and much shorter than I expected.”

Miami Heat’s Chris Bosh was seen “kicking back with buddies” Friday night at the bar at Cafe Prima Pasta drinking Peroni beer. Bosh kept it an early(ish) night, though, leaving around 10 p.m. Clearly the night out didn’t affect his game and possibly even helped it, as he helped lead his team to the NBA Finals the following night.

Following his team’s crushing game 7 loss to the Miami Heat, Boston Celtics head coach Doc Rivers was seen late Saturday night eating his sorrows away at PM in Brickell. Clearly he’s one of those who eats when depressed, feasting on an assortment of meat and seafood items including NY strip, garlic shrimp and crab salad.

DJ Sky Nellor was seen brunching with friends Sunday at Bianca at the Delano before heading to the popular White Rabbit pool party. Seen nearby was ex-Heat player Alonzo Mourning, spending time on the beach with his family.

One winner, to be announced in September, will appear on an October 2012 cover and win a $20,000 scholarship from Neutrogena.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey’s main dramatic device, Teresa Guidice, in town for a book signing at Books & Books, was seen dining with hubby Joe on Saturday at La Cote at the Fontainebleau.

NCIS actress and Miami native Cote de Pablo stopped by the National Suit Drive booth Sunday at the Tony Awards celebrity retreat to style a suit that will be donated to men in need of transitioning back into the workforce in each celebrity’s hometown. Along with her suit from Men’s Wearhouse, de Pablo included a note that read, "Best of luck and never forget to smile." National Suit Drive takes place from June 27 until the end of July.
