It's here! Bravo's "Top Chef" started filming its seventh season in Washington on Monday at, um, certain undisclosed locations, according to sources sworn to secrecy. If you see any good toque action in coming weeks, e-mail us at reliablesource@washpost.com.

A Los Angeles judge ruled that Dennis Hopper's estranged wife Victoria can live on the dying actor's property while they resolve their ugly divorce. The AP reports the court also ordered Hopper, 73, ("desperately ill" with prostate cancer, says his lawyer) to pay her $12K a month in support. The couple of 12 years have a pre-nup that says she loses her stake in his estate if they've split up when he dies. He filed divorce papers in January.

UPDATED: 4 p.m. April 6 based on amended version of AP story.
