While you may find celebs like Paris Hilton and Linsday Lohan making regular late-night runs to Katsuya, it’s the playground where Hollywood’s sober and family-oriented crowd gather.

Joined by his wife Amanda Anka, funnyman Jason Bateman was spotted with their little girl Francesca during a long-weekend play session at Coldwater Park in Los Angeles.

Much to the suprise of the couple and their adorable daughter, they were met with fellow stars Sara Gilbert , Jack Black and their respective families.

Needless to say, a fun and action-packed day was had by all!

Joined by co-star Jason Bateman and director Peter Berg, Hollywood heavyweights Charlize Theron and Will Smith cause a paparazzi frenzy as they hit the red carpet for the Paris premiere of Hancock at L’Olympia Hall on Monday.

In his latest superhero flick, Will portrays an alcoholic superhero named Hancock who is despised by the public because of his laziness. When he saves the life of PR executive Ray Embrey (Bateman), the latter helps rehabilitate Hancock. He starts having an affair with Ray’s wife Mary (Theron) until he faces his greatest challenge.

The story was originally written by Vincent Ngo in 1996 and had languished in Hollywood for some time. Hancock was originally intended to be filmed before I Am Legend and has had various directors attached, including Tony Scott, Michael Mann, Jonathan Mostow, and Gabriele Muccino.

The film is scheduled for release on July 2.
