Gwyneth Paltrow proved that she always stays moisturized during her appearance on "The Tonight Show With Conan O'Brien" June 4, 2009.

Bryant also had eight rebounds and eight assists for the Lakers in front of a sellout crowd of 18,997 at Staples Center arena.

"I was taking what they gave me. They want to back off and give me a shot, I am happy to take it," Bryant said. "We wanted to keep our energy up and make sure we stayed the aggressor."
