Celeb Spenders and Savers: Heidi vs. Kristen
Heidi Klum and Kristen Bell are clearly both fans of eyebrow-grazing fringe, shoulder-length blond bobs and strapless purple party dresses.
The Project Runway host and the Heroes star both sported similar looks at different events. Heidi hit Us Weekly's Hot Hollywood party in this ensemble, while Kristen opted for virtually the same look at the ESPY Awards.
Both girls looked great in their grape getups, but let's talk money. One starlet dropped lots more dollars on their outfit than the other. Think you know who splurged and who saved?

Update
Lauren, Lauren, Lauren, Everywhere We Look!
Just call it Lauren Conradpalooza!
The Hills' main lady is quickly becoming television's new It girl.
First up, the Emmy folks officially announced today what I first told ya about days ago: Ms. Conrad is designing a dress to be worn by the leggy women who will be handing out the Emmy statuettes on the big night.
"I am so excited for this opportunity," Conrad tells me exclusively. "I have so many great ideas, and I can't wait for the dress to be revealed on Emmy night."
The awards will be handed out on Sept. 21 and be broadcast live on ABC from the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles.
And there's even more Conrad boob-tube news...
Update
"No Way, You Mean I Get to Eat Him?!"
Emmy Rossum posed with a friend's son at Alice + Olivia's Hamptons fashion show this weekend—and while she looks superexcited, he looks a litte peeved to have to hang out with the actress from The Day After Tomorrow.
The whole thing makes for one awkward photo op. But as with every uncomfortable snapshot, there's always a "Caption This" opportunity. Apparently, even captioning this one was a little awkward, but Riff did manage to cook up this strange little caption:
"No way, man, you mean I get to eat him. Fire up the grill!"
The Stars Say: Roll Them Jeans
All the cool ladies in Hollywood are rolling their jeans, which means we better start if there's any hope of being accepted into their exclusive clique.
On a trend scale from one (being those awful jumpsuits everyone's all about lately) to 10 (being adorable high-waisted pencil skirts), jean rolling probably falls around a seven. It's not horribly offensive, and it can be highly practical in some situations.
A few tips learned from the women above...
Ugly Betty Costar: Lindsay Plagued by Paparazzi
Marc Indelicato would have loved to have gotten to know Lindsay Lohan when she shot her Ugly Betty episodes, but it was kinda impossible.
"Everyone has been asking me how Lindsay was, and really all I can say is that there was so much paparazzi that it's really hard to get to know the girl, because they're like all over the place," says Indelicato, who costars as Betty's nephew, Justin, on the hit ABC sitcom. "But she was really nice and was having a lot fun on the set."
Indelicato, as well as most of the rest of the cast, has relocated to New York to shoot the next season of Ugly Betty. And at just 14 years old, this boy has some big dreams—and he's doing what he can to make sure they come true...
Tyra Banks Brings the Crazy to the Oval Office
With about three months to go until Election Day, the presidential campaigns seem to get more and more twisted up with celebrity culture. Today, we get to add the loveable crazy-fierce Tyra Banks to the mess.
The talk-show host/model mentor poses as Michelle Obama in this September’s Harper’s Bazaar and offers up advice on how to be a good first lady, like, “know how to take a fierce picture but at the same time be able to eat fried chicken.”
See, Tyra really does know everything from smiling with your eyes to representing the country.
And the crazy don't stop there...
Lauren Conrad: Then vs. Now
Just one year ago, Hills superstar Lauren Conrad was launching the Lauren Conrad Collection and wearing a design of her own to the Teen Choice Awards. A picture even exists of her sitting over a corkboard kinda designing it.
Fast-forward to this year—everyone's going crazy over her line getting kicked out of Kitson and reports that Lauren had nothing to do with its design. But she showed up at this year's Teen Choice Awards smiling through the pain and claiming yet again to be wearing a dress she designed.
We want to know which L.C. design you prefer—the belted maxi with the crazy print and sweetheart top of '08, or the belted teal cocktail dress with the bubble hem and sweetheart top of '07?
Deep Thoughts With Victoria Beckham
Victoria Beckham arrived at a Beverly Hills party (thrown in her honor for looking beautiful on the most recent Allure cover) Thursday night looking extremely pensive, instead of her usual look: superfierce, which is often mistaken for superpissed.
What could possibly be going through Posh's mind other than "Do I wear the little Gucci dress, the little Gucci dress or...the little Gucci dress?!"
SJP and Matthew Broderick Blue in Love
Ever since Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears stepped out on the red carpet in matching denim love outfits (see it after the jump) at the height of their tumultuous affair, Hollywood couples everywhere have followed suit.
Like twinsies Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick, who were spotted out last night in New York City looking happy despite the pesky rumors going around. (Side question: WTF is Matt wearing around his neck?)
It seems nothing says “our marriage is totally fine despite what you gossipers out there might be saying” like matching denim. Well, actually, a Mariah Carey-Nick Cannon falling-all-over-each-other photo op would probably also get the job done.
Burning Q's: Get Angie's Nanny & Some A-List Ice
How do stars get fabulous jewelry and dresses for the awards shows? Do they have to beg for them, or do people come to them?
—Sarah, Toronto
People don't just "come to" stars. The designers and their publicists pay the stars. To wear their stuff. Tens of thousands of dollars. To wear a dress or a diamond necklace for a few hours. Like, Hilary Swank and Charlize Theron both reportedly earned $100,000 to wear diamonds from Chopard at the Golden Globes a few years ago.
Stars: They're just like us! Now, let's tackle more of your Burning Q's.
How old is Ali Lohan?
—X.O.
Paris vs. Fergie: Which Shoe Peddler Really Sells It?
Paris Hilton and Fergie both hit up Vegas this week to pose with their shoe lines to convince us we absolutely must buy a pair or otherwise we'll just die.
This is the most important (and, sometimes, only) role of the celebrity behind these types of collections. In fact, lack of promotional appearances could be one of the reasons Lauren Conrad's line is flopping. So we want to know which talented singer/actress you think sells her fashion goods the best.
While it's a tough call between Paris’ “Is this over yet? I wanna cuddle with Benji” pout and Fergie’s “So check out this shoe, it's like, nice, right?” pose, we're sure you can manage.
As for us, we think they could use some Katie Price pizzazz in their saleswomanship.
Missing: Lindsay's and Samantha's Accessories
We'd like to extend a warm welcome back to the West Coast to our favorite couple LiLo and SamRo. But with every bit of good news always comes some bad.
It appears the girls' signature accessories—Sam's hat and Linds' leggings—have gone missing. Good thing Lindsay still has her Wayfarers, otherwise things would really be bleak.
The girls are asking everyone to just check around for the missing items, and if you happen upon them, please alert the authorities. (Don't worry, no legal action will be taken.)
On a more serious note, Samantha really needs her hat back to hide those roots.
