It's going to take a lot for anybody to top the party that American Idol's Simon Cowell had for his 50th birthday. The party was held at Wrotham Park in Hertfordshire, England and had about 400 guests who showed up to celebrate. The party had tons of celebrities and even featured prerecorded birthday wishes from people like Victoria Beckham and Jennifer Aniston that played on a giant projection screen. Some of the celebrities that made an appearance were Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne, Gordon Ramsay, and of course his American Idol co-stars Ryan Seacrest, Randy Jackson and former co-star Paula Abdul. One person that did snub Simon Cowell was Susan Boyle from Britain's Got Talent. Reportedly she was too busy with her family to attend the party. It has been reported that the birthday party cost more than $2 million total.

Could Beyonce soon be getting a little stepbrother or sister? A woman named Alexsandra Wright is claiming that she is 6 months pregnant with Matthew Knowles (Beyonce's dad) baby. She has even gone as far as to file a paternity case against Knowles in the L.A. County Superior court system. Matthew has been married to Tina Knowles (Beyonce's mom) since 1980. Could this ruin the Knowles family or is this just a ploy for money from the woman? If she went as far as to file a case against him, you have to believe that she really thinks that this is the future step sibling of Beyonce.

Is actor Nicolas Cage hurting for money? It would appear that way. The actor is being sued for $2 million by East West Bank for a line of credit that they gave Nic back in 2007. The bank is claiming that he agreed to pay $11,590 per month and his last payment was from April of this year. The bank is now calling for the full balance of the loan to be paid now. There has been no word from Nicolas Cage on this lawsuit, but you have to wonder what he did with all his money. I have to imagine that he is still making money off movies like Con Air and National Treasure and imdb.com has over 60 movies listed that he has participated in. So, why the loan for $2 million in the first place and why can't he pay it off?

Taylor Swift

Sweet singer Taylor Swift exudes femininity with her pink and champagne outfits, delicate country florals and cowgirl boots. Her look is adorable, and in addition to her angelic looks and voice, is part of the reason she is a popular pop star and fashion icon. Taylor Swift rocked a 1940s-inspired belted trench coat at her MTV Video Music Awards performance, and took it off to reveal a girlish red dress.

She was a stunning young lady in red, and the spectrum of reds and pinks suits her well. She does not shy away from cranberry reds, deep pomegranates, bubble gum pinks and barely-there blushing pinks. These colors complement her underlying wardrobe of all shades of white. Swift also works greens, bright blues and the occasional lilac or black formal wear.

We could edge her out slightly with a pair of floral-looking lace heels, with a metallic polish. They would work with any floral dress, a fuchsia tank dress, or with leggings and and over-sized sweatshirt gray, belted cardigan.

Beyonce Knowles

Where Taylor Swift's style is subdued and subtle, Beyonce Knowles is downright eye-popping. A pair of lattice black heels studded with gold could easily become a major component in Beyonce's wardrobe, if we ever saw her wear anything twice. A pair of shoes which exude her personal flair could be worn with a designer gown, a sexy sheath dress, or leather leggings with a matching, belted coat.

Knowles' wardrobe color palette ranges from deep, eggplant purples to sunshine yellow, and every color in between. Similar to Swift, Knowles knows when to work a mostly white or off-white ensemble, from neckline to shoe choice. Beyonce also knows the power of red, and wore a hot red number to the VMAs.

Both super stars performed at the 2009 MTV VMA show, and both women went home with awards.

When you think of the word jumpsuit, the 80's may come to mind, but believe it or not jumpsuits are all the rage in the fashion world. They are being seen on all the runways as well as on celebrities. Celebrities such as Lindsay Lohan, Beyonce, and Kate Bosworth have all been seen wearing jumpsuits, but you are not a celebrity nor a model walking down the runway. So, how you can sport this runway fashion trend without looking like you walked straight out of a Bangles music video?

Here are some things to remember when taking this fashion trend off the runway.

The jumpsuit actually gained popularity during last fall but with summer here, it has taken on some new variations with color and style. No longer will you just find all black jumpsuits, but there are ones in all colors and even patterns. If you are the daring type of person, you can pull off the zebra print jumpsuit, you just have to do know how to wear it and when to wear it. Something like a zebra print jumpsuit is best suited for events such as a night on the town or a cocktail party. It should be played up with a fancy belt along with some cute jewelry such as chunky bracelets or a big cocktail ring. Pair it with a high heeled pump or peep-toe shoes and you are ready for a night out. They key to this look is to look put together and not like a shapeless, potato sack.

Whether you are choosing the casual jumpsuit for running errands or the black dressy one for a cocktail party, you need to remember a couple key things. If the outfit has a voluminous top, you need to make sure that it is cinched in at the waist with a belt or tie on the jumpsuit. If it is not, it can look sloppy and make you look larger than you are. You can have some variation with the style of the pants. One fashion trend is pants with a tapered leg, while pants with a wide leg are also popular. Pick what suits your body the best.

If you are new to this fashion trend, you may want to stick to an all black jumpsuit like this one by Allen Schwartz.

A hot celebrity trend with accessories right now is the headband. Not just an ordinary headband, but the hippie-inspired headband. And celebrities like Nicole Richie, Mischa Barton, and Miley Cyrus aren't wearing the headbands on top of their head. Instead, the celebrity trend is to wear the headband across your forehead, over your hair. Now to many people this may look pretty funny and quite odd, but it seems like celebrities like to wear headbands this way. I don't know how this can be comfortable, as it would drive me crazy having the headband across my forehead. This may be one celebrity fashion trend that the average person may not be able to pull off as people may just think your headband slipped down off your head!

Celebrities are keeping warm this cold winter season with turtleneck dresses. This is one fashion trend that the average person can follow and feel comfortable in. Turtleneck dresses can be long, like the one that Beyonce wore, or on the shorter side, like the dress that Emma Roberts wore. One of the key things to remember if you are going to be pulling off this celebrity fashion trend is to make sure that the turtleneck dress is fitted. You don't want to leave the house in a big, shapeless turtleneck dress and look like your grandma wearing a big muumuu. Also, keep the dress simple, like an all black or red dress to make it look more sophisticated and trendy just like the black turtleneck dress by designer GF Ferre.

Celebrities also seem to be gravitating towards polka dots this season. Katie Holmes, Jennifer Connelly and Christina Ricci all have worn polka dot pieces of clothing in the past couple of weeks. This polka dot fashion trend can be worn big or small. You can keep it simple with a polka dot blouse like Jennifer Connelly's or try to go for more polka dots with a dress like Christina Ricci's. This is another fashion trend that should be played down. If you have a polka dot blouse, pair it with a plain black skirt. If you are wearing a polka dot dress, make sure to keep your accessories, shoes and hair simple.

Sparkle, sparkle and more sparkle. That is what celebrities are wearing this season. From everything from a sparkling cocktail dress to a sparkling cocktail ring can be seen on the women of Hollywood. With the holiday party season among us, it seems that celebrities are once again setting the fashion trends with sparkling jewelry, accessories and clothes.

If you are heading out to a holiday party and you want to shine and stand out, do what celebrities like Ashley Tisdale, Beyonce, Jennifer Connelly and Heidi Klum do when stepping out and wear a sparkling cocktail dress that will draw the attention of everybody. When wearing your sparkling cocktail dress, remember that you want to look appropriate for the type of party or event you are going to and that you want to wear a dress that is modern and doesn't look like you just stepped out of the 80's. Keep your sparkling dress to a modern and sleek fit.

If you want to be more subdued this holiday season, you can still sparkle like the celebrities and keep it modest. Look for sparkling jewelry to add some drama to your outfit. Look for big chandelier earrings, layered necklaces, bracelet cuffs and bangles. Another way that you can add some sparkle to your outfit is to pair it with a great belt. Adding a sparkling belt adds just enough to an outfit to keep it trendy and hip. One of the celebrities' favorites for belts is Alexander McQueen. They are hip, trendy and add some drama to your outfit just like celebrities do.

There are a couple of other ways that you can add some sparkle to your outfit. Look for metallic colored shoes that shine. Add a beaded or sequined clutch or small handbag to complete your outfit and add just a hint of sparkle. There are quite a few ways that you can add sparkle to your holiday outfits this season, you just have to be creative like the celebrities.

Purple is definitely the "it" color with celebrities right now. From purple shirts to purple skirts to even purple evening dresses are all over Hollywood. Such celebrities as Isla Fisher, Rihanna, Hilary Duff, Beyonce and Lauren Conrad have all been rocking the purple lately. If you aren't sure about wearing purple, then add a splash of the color to your outfit instead of having it as a main color. Try some purple pumps or a necklace or bracelet with purple gems or even a purple clutch by Michael Kors. This gives you that pop of purple without being in your face.

Even though the holidays are still several months away, celebrities are bringing out the sparkle and glimmer early. Sparkle is a great look for a Christmas or New Year's Eve party. If you want to follow this trend early, why not try it on a date night or a night out on the town. Try a short silver sparkled mini-dress with black tights the way that Angie Harmon did. Or how about a cute little sparkly skirt or top like Kelly Ripa or Audrina Patridge. If you're shy about this trend and don't want to stick out in the crowd, why not go for the sparkle with your accessories. Add some cocktail rings that shine and sparkle or a belt that does the same. The possibilities are endless for the sparkle and glimmer fashion trend.

Lace is another big fashion trend in Hollywood right now, but there are a lot of people who think that they can't pull lace off. The key behind wearing lace is to make it look young and modern and not old and dowdy. Take examples from Scarlett Johansson, America Ferrera and Debra Messing. One thing that you always want to remember when wearing lace is that if it is see-through, you need to wear something underneath. If you have a lace dress, make sure that it has a slip or layer of fabric under it. Wearing lace is a great way to play up your feminine charm and look sophisticated at the same time. Lace can be worn to the office or a night out, depending on what you pair the outfit with, so it is rather versatile.

Is funny man Jimmy Kimmel having second thoughts about his recent split from Sarah Silverman, his girlfriend of five years? The National Enquirer is reporting that close sources have said that Jimmy has actually been drunk dialing Sarah and asking to get together so the two can talk. Unfortunately, Sarah seems to already have moved on. No, she's not dating anybody new yet (that I know of), but her friends say that once Sarah cuts a relationship off there's no going back. Too bad for Jimmy.

One of Mary Kate Olsen's ex-bodyguards is spilling all her secrets, but it's seriously nothing that we haven't heard before. He claims that Mary Kate is into smoking pot and other drugs and has been a heavy drinker since her high school days. Now, you know that Mary Kate and her famous twin sis, Ashley, both have tiny, childlike bodies, so you can imagine the toll that alcohol and drug abuse takes on their bodies when they indulge. He also touched on Mary Kate's struggle with an eating disorder and says that Ashley and her family were frantic with worry over how to deal with it and most importantly, how to get Mary Kate back to a healthy weight again for her own sake.

Now that Beyonce and Jay-Z are supposedly married, Beyonce is feeling the pressure to start popping out kids ... soon. But the pressure isn't coming from her, as much it's coming from Jay-z and her own mother. It seems that Beyonce has the entire next two years planned out for her career already and she doesn't see how having a baby at this point in her life would be possible or even beneficial for her career. Of course it doesn't help that her little sis, Solange, already has a four year old son and that her dress designer mother, Tina, is desperate for another grandchild already. I mean, if Solange can do it then Beyonce should be able to, right? Hmm, good luck with that one Beyonce!

Hollywood party girl Tara Reid is finally catching a break! After years of hard partying, botched plastic surgery and unemployment, Tara is back in the game. Well, sort of. Her new gig will be starring on the hit show, Dancing with the Stars. The catch? It's the Australian version, not the American one. Hey, at least she's working...

Have you heard of Ryan Shawhughes? Yeah, neither had I... until now. Ryan is the former nanny of the now-divorced celebrity couple, Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke. She's also engaged and pregnant. I know, I know, big deal. But guess who the father of the baby is? Ethan Hawke! Mm-hmm, sounds like the storyline to one of those bad Lifetime movies older women like to watch, but it's soooo much better because it's actually true. Of course, it has been a while since Ethan and Uma split, but still the fact that he's soon going to be married to the woman who used to watch his kids, well, you don't see that everyday.

Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez love to talk about the fact that they're raising their twin babies on their own. You know, as in without the help of any nannies as is the custom among celebrity couples. But they left out one tiny detail. Jennifer Lopez's mom has actually moved in with the couple and is helping out with the care of the twins. Someone might want to tell Marc Anthony that just because she's not on the payroll, doesn't mean she isn't helping out. Wonder what Mama Lopez thinks about what her son-in-law is blabbing about to everyone.

*Beyonce*'s little sister, Solange, had some bad luck during a recent performance. A piece of metal fell on Solange's foot which resulted in a painful break. But even a broken foot didn't stop this diva-in-training from going on with the show. She finished her performance before allowing anyone to rush her off to the hospital. What a trooper!

Who's the latest celeb on baby bump watch? Paris Hilton! And it's not just talk this time. Paris was recently photographed walking alongside boyfriend, Benji Madden in LA. But in these particular pics, Paris Hilton is sporting what appears to be the beginning of a baby bump. Now since we're talking about Paris the bump could be one of three things: 1)an actual baby bump which means that the heiress really is pregnant, 2)a PR stunt much like the recent appearance she made on Pop Fiction or 3)a really big lunch. Hmmm...

And finally here's some gossip about a real blast from the past. Lynda Carter, known for her portrayal as Wonder Woman, made headlines again recently and it had nothing to do with her acting skills. The former TV star was out on the Potomac River when she spotted something out of the ordinary - a dead body floating face down. While she didn't pull any superhero stunts, she did call 911. Too bad she wasn't wearing her old Wonder Woman costume at the time - that would've been a hell of a story.
