Fergie is full of holiday cheer! Yesterday, Fergie unveiled the 550 pound, 9.5 foot Swarovski Star adorned with over 25,000 Swarovski crystals that will sit atop the famed Rockefeller Center Holiday tree. Watch the above video to see the unveiling (wait for it).

You gotta wonder how much they pay celebrities just to say "Um...I'm famous. Photograph me by this." Maybe they didn't pay her for her humps this time, though; it was for charity.

Desperate Housewives, one of the most popular shows on television these days, is feeling the credit crunch too. The wardrobe people are having to limit their spending and save cash in the costume department on set!

Stephanie Prommer is a writer, editor and stylist in the fashion and entertainment industry. She's on the scene at all the hot parties, bringing you the inside scoop on A-list style and gossip.

I hit up a fundraiser for Charity: Water at Saks Fifth Avenue the other night, and while celebs like Mischa Barton, Diane von Furstenberg, Ashleigh Verrier and BMX rider Nigel Sylvester added some wattage, I was really transfixed by Alex McCord (pictured) and Simon van Kempen from the show The Real Housewives of NYC.

I chatted with Alex and Simon a few days before at Bravo's A-List awards, and at the time I heard some rumblings that the NYC ladies weren't getting along with their OC counterparts. I asked them for a little re-cap on that evening's fight, and this is what Simon told me:

"They [the OC cast] have a huge chip on their shoulder. Do you know why? Their husbands tried to get on the red carpet [at the A-List Awards] and they weren't allowed on, and so the OC wives were angry about me. They were angry that their husbands didn't get on the red carpet and I did."

When I asked if they're still fighting, Simon said that "We've had some emails back and forth since then."

Since it's been disgustingly hot and sticky lately, I also asked Alex how she tames her naturally curly tresses in the humidity. She shared: "I usually keep style cream in my bag to slick it back with, or if worse comes to worst I use hand lotion."

Then being the good sport she is, Alex gamely rummaged around and showed me the tube of Kiehl's Ultimate Strength Hand Salve she had in her handbag.

Just about every celebrity has a fragrance but fragrances connected to TV shows are a rarer breed. The popular show Desperate Housewives now has its own fragrance called Forbidden Fruit. The fragrance, from Coty, is sweet and fruity with heavy notes of apple, wisteria, jasmine and vanilla. I haven't sampled it yet but a quick tour of a few reviews reveals that it is fruity and perhaps a bit herby. You can get yours from Macys for $49.50.
