Kristen Chenoweth is a talented little dynamo. She's a singer, a dancer, a hugely funny comedic actress, and packs more personality into her 4'11" than almost anyone else in Hollywood.

The Playboy empire is spreading -- aside from the nudie magazines and clothing, it's reaching out into fragrances, too. The ladies from The Girls Next Door attended a party in the penthouse of Manhattan's Hotel on Rivington to celebrate the launch last week, and shared some details about their favorite scents.

Liane Balaban's dress at the Hollywood premiere of 'Last Chance Harvey' has us going back and forth like Anne Heche's sexual preference. On the one hand, there's something about it that really appeals to us -- it's so girly, and looks like it would be fun to spin around in.

Not everyone has jumped on the iPhone wagon! AT&T held launch parties in New York and LA for the new Blackberry Bold smartphone, and the stars came out in droves to both parties.

Nicole Richie used to send emails to people saying nobody over 100 pounds would be allowed into her parties -- and there would be scales at the door. Coco Rocha said that designers would tell her, "The look this year is anorexic. We don't want you to be anorexic, we just want you to look it." And just recently, sources reported that the CW network sent out a memo saying that the girls on the new 90210 need to stay under 110 pounds. So, the girls of Hollywood have had to come up with a new method to stay on top of this sick trend.

We're fans of the Adidas by Stella McCartney line, so we were excited to read over at That's Fit that the sports brand has a new yoga line coming out that was designed with celebrity yogini Rainbeau Mars.

Fat behinds ruin the lines of Calvin Klein, and Dior doesn't come in plus sizes. It's time for a diet! But which one? A new one pops up every day. We help you sort them out with Fad Diet du Jour.

The catchy name: Dr. Siegal's Cookie Diet, Hollywood Cookie Diet, Smart for LIfe

The story: In the 1970s, South Florida-based Dr. Sanford Siegal realized that "Hunger Wrecks Diets" and started to make appetite suppressant cookies for his patients who were trying to lose weight. The recipe is a secret, but it involves amino acids. You can order the cookies from his site, and there are also shakes and soups. It's a super-low calorie diet, around 800 calories a day, so you are only supposed to do it under the supervision of a doctor.

The scrawny celebrity dieter: Mr. Madonna, Guy Ritchie

The anti-diet propaganda: Oh, this is a diet. That's totally explicit, and they advertise that many people lose 15 lb a month.

The regime: Eat six of these cookies throughout the day, drink eight glasses of liquid (coffee and tea are allowed) and finish up with a "sensible dinner" of 6 oz of fish or chicken and a cup of vegetables. That's it.

Our judgment: If you stick to it, you'll probably lose some weight because it's so low cal. But there's no recommended exercise plan, and most people will inevitably succumb to food boredom binging, so the pounds will probably return. Not a long-term solution, but might be worth talking to your doctor about it if you're struggling to jump start a serious weight loss program. Not for the diet dabbler.

Kate Walsh is one of those rare class acts in Hollywood. You can depend on her to show up, be well put together, have nice things to say about her colleagues. If you're like Kate, you might not wear polish every day, but when you get dressed up, you make the effort to do something a little special, a little shiny. And you can be sure it will match. For your next big event, take the high road like Kate with Laura Mercier's Daring, in rich, dark burgundy.

We happily admit to a So You Think You Can Dance addiction, partly due to the amazing dancing, but also because we're always dying to know what host Cat Deeley will be wearing. She's at least eight feet tall, and quite thin, so obviously, she can wear just about anything. Still, she occasionally chooses outfits that make us wonder if maybe British fashion is like the British sense of humor -- rather different than American, but enjoyable once you "get it."

This outfit from the American Idol finale is something that we absolutely, completely get. True, it works for her largely because of her height and slim build, but it's one of our favorite jumpsuits this year, and even if you don't get it as a jumpsuit, this is a look that you could absolutely rock at a party. Check out the gallery to see how.

Roselyn Sanchez looked gorgeous on the red (err, purple) carpet at the Seventh Annual Chrysalis Butterfly Ball, an event which raised a million dollars to help California's homeless men and women find employment. She rocked the Grecian goddess look -- a summertime favorite that's really simple to replicate at home. Check out the gallery to see how!

Just when you're thinking there isn't space in the market for one more fashion line, another A-lister will go out and prove you wrong. Jennifer "Don't Call Me J-Lo," Lopez is coming out with her own line of workout gear.

Blake Lively is a lucky girl. She's tall, blond, beautiful, and on a ridiculously hot show with even more ridiculously hot clothes. Even so, going out on the red carpet can be tricky -- she's on her own (with a stylist's help), and if her outfit bombs, she can't blame it on the show. Therefore, this we think this dress was a smart choice -- it incorporates the season's metallic trend, and the layered necklaces add a bit of funky interest.

What's even better is that you can totally get this look for yourself. Check out the gallery to see how.

While pale, porcelain skin is beautiful, it's hard to ignore the beauty of a bronze glow in the summertime. Who doesn't feel a little bit lovelier with slightly golden, sun-kissed skin? Notice we said slightly -- there's a big difference between being a little bit tan and looking like you've spent every day for the last three weeks baking on Miami Beach.

Christini Ricci was once well-known for wearing black as creepy little Wednesday in the Addams Family Values movie. Well, she was back in black recently for the London premiere of her newest flick, Speed Racer, and she was just rocking it.

She pulled off the Jackie O-style dress with aplomb, looking every bit the lady, but looking a little sexy at the same time. This is such an achievable look, and appropriate for everything from lunch with the ladies to a cocktail party to a wedding -- here's how you can rock it like Christina.

Kristen Bell looks ready for a luau in this Hawaiian-print maxi dress at the Forgetting Sarah Marshall premiere. And, yes, this might not be our number one choice for a red carpet outfit normally, but since the movie is set in Hawaii, we're going to go ahead and give her a pass.

Plus, she's really pulling off a look that could have looked like she chose to wear a shower curtain, so take a look through the gallery to see how she's making this work.
