Malibu Beach was obviously the place to be over the weekend as Mischa Barton and best friend Nicole Richie decided to catch some waves. On the young Hollywood scene where friendships come and go with the seasons, the pair seem to be firm pals.
The girls were last seen out and about in public enjoying a soothing pottery session at a Beverly Hills ceramic store in April. But on this occasion they may have been in for a slightly more action-packed day since Mischa was holding a surfboard with a view to launching herself into the water.
Also soaking up the sun was Sean 'Diddy' Combs, who was out walking with long-term love Kim Porter. Once one of Hollywood's most fun-loving bachelors, the hip-hop mogul seems to have embraced a settled life with the model by his side.
Diddy is often photographed at high-profile events with the leggy beauty, who is the mother of his nine-year-old son Christian Casey Combs. If it's not the front row of fashion shows, then it's awards ceremonies. And in 2004, when the empresario crossed the finish line of the New York marathon, Kim was there to welcome him.
During his relationship with Jennifer Lopez, Diddy and Kim split, only to be reconciled later on. Throughout the more tempestuous episodes of his life the 33-year-old model has been there to support her man, while the rap star has virtually adopted 15-year-old Quincy, her son from a previous relationship.
