Only Liv Tyler could rock a pair of rain boots and look this adorable!

We snapped the brunette beauty en route to an appointment in Hollywood yesterday afternoon, and even though it was dark and drizzly out, Liv was in a fabulous mood. Hey, when you look this good minus the makeup, there's plenty of reasons to celebrate!

Last Wednesday, X17 caught Liv Tyler intervening in an instance of apparent child abuse, when a woman struck a boy repeatedly on the street in Los Feliz in Los Angeles.

Liv was driving alone when she saw the incident taking place on the sidewalk - an older woman who appeared to be a grandmother or caretaker for a boy was screaming at him and hitting him on the chest as he sat in his stroller wailing. Liv pulled over on the side of the road and reprimanded the woman, and when she made her way back to her car, she told X17 photographers, "When I saw that, I couldn't take it. I had to do something."

Well, Liv's good deed didn't go unnoticed...today the ladies on The View had a lively discussion about the incident and they even gave X17online a shout out for being the first to break the story! Thanks girls! After showing X17's pictures of a distraught looking Liv confronting the woman, Elizabeth, Whoopi, Joy, Barbara and Sherri chatted about discipline and parenting techniques, and how each of them would have reacted in the situation.

Oh, and Good Morning America is going to talk about the incident on tomorrow's show as well - it looks like this story has sparked discussion in the media and with women's groups everywhere! Hey, we're just glad we were able to document the incident on camera...it's helped raise awareness for child abuse and now we know what good samaritan Liv is!



WHOA!!!!!

X17 caught Liv Tyler today, intervening in an instance of apparent child abuse as a woman hit a boy on his chest repeatedly on the street in Los Feliz in LA.

Tyler was driving alone and saw the incident taking place on the sidewalk - someone who appeared to be a grandmother or caretaker for a boy was screaming at him and hitting him on the chest as he sat in his stroller wailing.

Liv almost caused an accident and she hit the brakes, did a U-turn, and pulled over on the side of the road to reprimand the woman. Unfortunately the woman didn't speak English and kept telling Tyler "No entiendo. (I don't understand.)" Liv was telling her "You can't do that! I'm going to call the police; I'm going to call Child Services!"

Liv tried to comfort the crying boy and when she finally walked away to go back to her car, she told X17 photographers, "When I saw that, I couldn't take it. I had to do something." Our photog said she was visibly disturbed.

We've gotta give serious props to a person who would have the guts to stand up for a child who can't speak for himself or defend himself against an adult using unnecessary force. Liv cares ... and we love her for it!

Hey, how do you think Liv Tyler stays so fit? Not by going out to eat every night! The actress knows that trips to the gym always pay off. Lookin' lovely, Liv!

Liv Tyler got her shop on at actor Danny Masterson's store Confederacy in Los Feliz over the weekend.

Hey, if we made LOTR money, we'd shop there too!

'Nuff said.

She's just so pretty!

And she's never a diva with the paps, she seldom wears bad outfits, and she just seems like the (incredibly beautiful) girl next door. Sure, she may never do anything wild or scandalous, but it's not always about that. Ahem, Lindsay Lohan - we're talking to you.

Sure, she may be boring, but she's beautiful, talented and Steven Tyler's daughter! How many celebs can say they're all that?
