The hottest celebrity trend in footwear right now is heels with elastic straps. So instead of painful straps going across your foot or ankle in your stiletto heels, the trend is to wear shoes that have elastic straps. The elastic straps are designed to make the shoe more comfortable and not dig into your foot. Such celebrities as Blake Lively and Kate Bosworth have been seen wearing these shoes on the red carpet. This is one celebrity trend that makes sense. Why not wear shoes that are more comfortable?

As the temperatures start to dip, celebrities are breaking out more and more scarves. Again, you have to hand it to celebrities for this fashion trend. Adding a scarf to your outfit will not only keep you warmer in the cold weather but it will accessorize your outfit quite nicely. So, which celebrities are fans of scarves this season? You have Katie Holmes, Nicole Richie, Lauren Conrad, Blake Lively, Jennifer Aniston and Leighton Meister who all like to sport scarves. Missoni makes tons of different scarves that the celebrities love. Don't just stick to plain colored scarves this season, but mix it up with stripes, polka dots and other prints to add some drama to your outfit.

What else can you wear with your scarf this fall and winter? Well, you can stick to the celebrity trends and try a retro swing coat for winter. Many celebrities are going back to the retro look, and the swing coat is the perfect way to do this. A swing coat will button on the top, and the bottom half of the coat is left open to basically "swing." This type of coat can be worn dressed up or with your basic jeans. Celebrities such as Katie Holmes, Blake Lively and Eva Mendes have all been spotted wearing this type of coat this season. So, go ahead and take out your scarf and your swing coat and work it like a celebrity.

t's finally official; Madonna and Guy Ritchie are getting a divorce. I don't understand why they tried to hide it, as they knew eventually that it would become public. Madonna's spokesperson has come out and confirmed that Madonna and Guy Ritchie are indeed going through a divorce. A source tells US Weekly Magazine that it is actually Guy Ritchie who wants the divorce now, and that the marriage has been over for some time now. Ritchie is tired of pretending and just wants it over. Although many rumors in Hollywood may not be true, it's always funny when celebrities keep denying things, like when Madonna denied that they were having problems and separating, then a couple of weeks later the truth finally comes out.

As news breaks of Madonna's impending divorce, another source is telling US Weekly Magazine that Madonna and Yankee's player, Alex Rodriguez "are definitely romantic." Another shocker, huh? Everyone knew something was going on between these two. What would a world pop star want with a major league baseball player if they weren't romantically involved? We'll have to wait and see how long until they really go public with their relationship.

Now, let's end with some happy news. It looks like The Hills girls, Lauren Conrad and Heidi Montag have reunited. The two were seen talking and even gave each other a hug this week at a restaurant in Los Angeles. Conrad was there celebrating her fashion runway show with family and friends when Heidi and her boyfriend Spencer Pratt showed up. But instead of fighting, the two girls actually talked and looked happy about it. Conrad has confirmed that she talked to Montag who was there to congratulate her, and that Lauren "appreciated it." So, who thinks these two will eventually be friends again? I think that before they will ever actually be friends, Heidi has to get rid of Spencer.

Well, there seems to be more drama in the hills with Lauren Conrad and Audrina Patridge. There is a rumor going around in the online world that Lauren hooked up with Audrina's on-and-off-again boyfriend Justin Bobby. Lauren is denying all the reports and rumors that she hooked up with Justin Bobby. In fact, it seems like she is blaming the one and only Spencer Pratt for spreading the rumor about her. Now, anyone who has watched "The Hills," knows that Lauren couldn't stand Justin Bobby, so why would she hook up with him? She always thought he was gross and that Audrina deserved better. For once, I actually believe Lauren and think she didn't do anything with Justin Bobby, and if she did then she has some problems!

Howard Stern is once again a married man. Stern married his fiancée, Beth Ostrosky on October 3 at Le Cirque restaurant in New York. Among the guests that attended the wedding were Jimmy Kimmel, Kelly Ripa, Silver Silverman, Joan Rivers, John Stamos and Barbara Walters. Best of all, they had actor Mark Consuelos act as the official of the wedding vows, while entertainers Billy Joel, Phoebe Snow and Pat Monahan all performed at the wedding. Who wants to bet how long this celebrity marriage is going to last? In my opinion, it will end the same way as Howard's first marriage did ... in divorce.

Finally, justice has been served. Former football player and actor O.J. Simpson has been found guilty of armed robbery and kidnapping. The verdict came down exactly 13 years after he was acquitted of murdering his wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman. Simpson was convicted of all 12 counts against him for an incident that involved sports memorabilia in Las Vegas last year. The charges hold a mandatory 5 years in prison and up to a life sentence. Sentencing on this case will be held on Dec. 5 for Simpson.

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.

Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that these two
celebrities would end up going out on a date together, but I guess
anything is possible in Hollywood. The latest odd couple
in Tinsel town is none other than Pamela Anderson and Michael Jackson.
It seems that the date was arranged by their respective people (most
likely agents) and all done in secret. However, witnesses from the
restaurant state that the couple really seemed to hit it off, and it
seems that Michael even asked Pamela out for a second date. What I want
to know is what do the two possibly have in common - besides plastic
surgery?

Hill's vixen, Heidi Montag's clothing line, may be
outselling Lauren Conrad's at Kitsons, but that doesn't mean that
designers are clamoring for her to wear their stuff. In fact, word is
that designers frequently send free items like dresses, sweaters and shoes
to the other stars of The Hills, like Lauren Conrad and Audrina
Patridge, but they don't really want their clothes associated with the
Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt name. Ouch.

Tiger Woods and his
wife Elin Nordegren are expecting baby number 2! Tiger Woods announced
the happy news on his web site. The couple just welcomed their first
daughter, Sam Alexis Woods last summer.

And Brett Ratner,
director extraordinaire, recently spilled the beans about the true
inspiration for Miley Cyrus' hit song, 7 Things. Apparently the whole
song came about because of her ex-boyfriend, Nick Jonas, the youngest
member of the Jonas Brothers. Brett talked about going to Miley Cyrus'
house and even being able to see Miley's "ex-box" - you know that box
that everyone keeps after a break-up with things that your ex gave you.
Now here's the clincher - Brett Ratner never mentioned any names in his
interview with MTV, but he did give a rather big hint to anybody
familiar with the Jonas Brothers. He said that Miley Cyrus wore her
ex's diabetes necklace in the video. Of course, Nick Jonas was
diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes not too long ago.

Lesson #1: If you're planning on cheating on your boyfriend, never get into a highly publicized car accident with the guy that you're messing around with. Isabel Lucas learned that love lesson the hard way after getting into a car accident with her Transformers 2 co-star Shia LaBeouf just a few weeks ago. Paparazzi and gossip sites were quick to jump on the news and within hours it was splashed all over the Internet. Looks like her boyfriend, Entourage star, Adrian Grenier, wasn't in the know about Isabel and Shia hanging out, because shortly after the accident the couple split up.

Carrie Underwood slung some mud back at Jessica Simpson in a recent interview in Allure magazine. Jessica was recently photographed in a t-shirt that said, "Real Girls Eat Meat" and of course it's a well-known fact that Carrie Underwood, who is also Tony Romo's ex-girlfriend, is a vegetarian. Well, it seems that Tony Romo still calls Carrie Underwood from time to time, although she does admit that she doesn't always pick up the phone when she sees it's him. I wonder how Jessica Simpson is going to take this little tidbit of news.

And it looks like Tori Spelling won't be returning to Beverly Hills 90210 after all. Online reports are saying that the Beverly Hills alum is upset over the fact that she wasn't offered the same amount of money per episode as her former co-stars, Jennie Garth and Shannon Doherty. Jennie and Shannon are mum on what they were offered, but both say that they don't really believe the issue is about money. Hmm, what could it be about then, ego?

The Hills might be MTV's most popular reality TV show, but that doesn't mean that its stars are loved by everybody. Neighbors of Lauren Conrad and fellow roommates, Lo Bosworth and Audrina Patridge, are not too happy about the fact that tour buses and paparazzi are constantly invading what used to be a quiet, little neighborhood. Still, there's not much that the girls can do about either of those, so for now they're staying put.

They always say that fashion tends come back someday and I guess they are right. Celebrities have been seen sporting Members Only jackets. If you are old enough to remember, Members Only jackets were very popular and trendy back in the '80s. Well, the leather and nylon jackets are making a comeback with the celebrities of today.

Fergie was seen sporting a purple nylon Members Only jacket when she performed on The Today Show. She later paired an ivory Members Only jacket with a dress at the premiere of Sex and the City in New York. Other stars, such as Mariah Carey and Miley Cyrus, also have been seen wearing these jackets. Buyer beware, the jackets are not cheap and who knows how long this trend may stay around again.

Most people think that scarves are just for the winter time, but apparently celebrities like to wear them in summer also. So many celebrities have been seen sporting scarves around their neck in the summer months. Now, with some of the heat waves we have been experiencing, I'm not sure this is one trend that I want to follow.

The brand Love Quotes is a very popular pick among celebrities for scarves. Rachel Bilson, Lauren Conrad, Nicky Hilton, Hilary Duff and Amanda Bynes have been seen wearing scarves from Love Quotes. The scarves come in a wide range of colors from cherry pie to haze. They retail for $85. The scarves can be worn several different ways: wrapped around the neck several times. wrapped once and hanging loose and wrapped around the neck and then bundled together in the front.

Red is always a hot color, but more and more celebrities have been seen sporting red on the red carpet. Stars such as Molly Sims, Debra Messing, Christie Brinkley and Renee Zellweger have all worn red dresses lately. Sara Ramirez wore a red David Mesiter strapless dress to a charity auction and she looked wonderful in the dress. If you want to try the red trend, then get ready to attract attention!
