American Idol wants to remind you all that it is not just a hugely successful reality TV show produced (and presented) by super-rich men in suits whose pockets it is happily lining....they also do some good in the world, and no not just because it gave us Kelly Clarkson!

Idol Gives Back is a foundation which helps children and young people in poverty in the USA and around the world through various means.

The Idol Gives Back 2008 show was filmed yesterday in L.A. and loads of stars turned up, performed, and presented. Some looked casual, some looked glam, some looked good, some looked not so good.

Miley Cyrus (left) performed at the show and she looked good in casual skinny jeans and a cute sequined, layered, camisole. She looked young and fun but I'm not fussed on the boots.

Also looking good was Teri Hatcher in a tailored black blazer, long white top and jeans. Wonder if her and Ryan shared any awkward moments?!

Looking not-so-good in their casual outfits were Fergie (left), who was shocking in shiny leather leggings, and Mariah Carey who was boring and cheap looking in a black vest and gold chain belt.

Some stars dressed up a bit more though, like Geri Halliwell who debuted new boyfriend, dancer Ivan FlipZ Velez, at the event. She wore the blue-grey version of a Herve Leger dress once worn by Rihanna in pink. She looked hot and her figure is amazing these days! In shape, but not too skinny as she has been in the past.

Reese Witherspoon presented at the event and looked demure and pretty in a simple LBD. All the details were on trend though: a waist belt, sheer top section and ruffles. Her bold red peep toes set of the whole look!

Looking not so good all glammed up was Idol judge Paula Abdul. The sweetheart neckline, red dress is actually pretty sexy, but poor Paula just always looks a mess! I don't know how she does it......but I think the secret's in the 80s bouffant hair.

I love the style of Carrie Underwood's off the shoulder Farah Angsana gown, but it seems a little OTT for this event, considering most people were in jeans! Plus I hate the iridescent colour orange/pink colour!

As a side note, Carrie was asked about rumoured boyfriend Chase Crawford and she said that they had broken up a couple of months ago via text because it just wasn't working so it's weird that it's all coming out in the press now. She said it was mutual. Hmm. Dumping via text, how classy!

So they've all walked the red carpet at the Grammy Awards and now it's time for the rest of us to pick our best and worst dressed!

1. My favourite look of last night's awards was Carrie Underwood's floral Zuhair Murad Spring 2008 gown. It had a beautiful halter neck and and was so pretty and stylish, matched with her purple clutch.

2. My second favourite goes to Alicia Keys who wore a dramatic navy blue high necked Armani Prive gown with a full glamorous train. Her pink lipstick and pink clutch kept the look young and fun.

3. And my third favourite was Brit Natasha Bedingfield (who is very hit or miss in the fashion stakes these days!) who looked like an Old Hollywood icon in her strapless purple Reem Acra Spring 2008 gown. I love the sexy waist belt and her vintage curls.

L-R: Faith Hill in Valentino, Fergie in Calvin Klein, Beyonce in Elie Saab

4. My fourth fav gown was Beyonce's beautiful Elie Saab Spring 2008 strapless ice queen gown. The silver and sky blue gown fitted her curves perfectly, but despite initially liking her new shorter hair, on second glance I think it would have suited the dress better had she worn it up.

5. I put Faith Hill in fifth place for her one shouldered Valentino Spring 2008 gown in classic black (which was one of my fav of the Valentino collection!) which looked sophisticated and sleek.

6. And the last of my favourite gowns goes to Fergie who looked sweet and summery in a strapless yellow Calvin Klein gown. I would have placed her higher but I don't think the gown quite fitted her right. Is is just me??

Now it is the Grammy's, which is meant to be more fun and young than some of the other award shows, so many starlets chose shorter dresses.

7. My favourite being Rihanna's unusual blue Zac Posen Spring 2008 dress. I love the trendy sheer straps and the feathered skirt, especially with her silver strappies and natural make-up.

8. Miley Cyrus comes in 8th place for her silver and white layered Celine Spring 2007 shift dress. Love the dress, hate the inches of make-up and cheap hair extensions.

9. In 9th place I've chosen Keyshia Cole for her adorable black Marc Bouwer Fall 2007 shift with a cinched in silver waist. Simple but flatterring. It's just ashame about the tattoos!

10. And finally, 10th on my best dressed list is british songstress Corinne Bailey Rae who took a fashion risk that paid off with her blue Luella Spring 2008 that was made out of plastic poppies! Unusual but it looked fab!

Whose did you like and whose did you hate??

The 2008 Grammy Awards are tonight and I can't wait! But in the mean while, the hottest pre-Grammy party had to be the one thrown by music mogul Clive Davis in Beverly Hills yesterday!

One of the best dressed in my opinion was Carrie Underwood who looked gorgeous in a black and white layered strapless dress with a black bow worn with strappy black shoes.

I also loved Ashanti's fun and flirty black halter neck dress with a hot pink waist belt and matching pink peep toes. Unfortunatley Ashanti's hair ruined the look as it looked like she'd left in a curler or something!?

The American Idol girls continued to do well with Jordin Sparks looking great in a leopard print shift dress with a black waist band that defined her waist and gave her a fantastic shape.

And finally, looking amazing in colour was Fergie-licious in a feminine purple gown with an artistic floral print. I do love when Fergie sports pretty, softer looks to counteract her scary eyebrows and hard face! Mean, I know.

L-R: Alicia Keys, Taylor Swift, Dita Von Teese and Zhang Ziyi

I also thought Alica Keys looked lovely in a strapless cream and brown spotty gown, especially with her sleek straight hair.

Also in a neutral colour was Taylor Swift who went simple in a strappy cream babydoll dress which I think would have looked better with better shoes and less make-up.

Dita Von Teese stuck to her signature look in a gorgeous white Christian Dior Spring 2008 suit with beading and flower detail and finally the daring Zhang Ziyi looked surprisingly good in an unusual yellow dress. I think the matching yellow shoes are a step too far though!

Singer/actresses Jennifer Hudson (left) and Jennifer Lopez (right) dazzled at the Movies Rock 2007 event in L.A. last night.

J-Hud looked radiant in a gorgeous, black Michael Kors jumpsuit from his Autumn 2007 collection. She wore the strapless all-in-one suit with a patent waist belt, a long silver necklace and silver peep toes for a style totally different to the sea of dresses seen at the event!

J-Lo on the other hand complimented her beautiful new pregnant shape in a white, chiffon empire waist gown from the Versace Spring 2008 Resort collection. The dress was a very stylish one shoulder style and matched her pregnancy glow and beaded gold clutch perfectly.

Little black dresses were, as always, a huge trend! Eve (far left) chose a knee length, strappy satin version with a little waist belt and black tights. I love the dress and the cute peep toes but the hat shoulda been left at home and the tatts look cheap!

Fergie (second left) went for a daring Dolce and Gabanna dress with lace up sides and fitted bustier though I think a plain clutch and an up-do woulda made the overall look less busy.

The gorgeous Nicole Scherzinger (second right) looked lovely and polished in a black bandeau pencil dress with black peep toes and black nail polish. She looks nice but it'd be good to see her be more daring with her fashion choices, she wore a black pencil dress to the American Music Awards last month too.

Finally, looking adorable in a black mini dress from the Gucci Spring 2008 collection and black tights was actress Kate Hudson (far right). The shape of the strapless dress is very now with the nipped in waist and slightly flared skirt, as are the pointed black courts and the red clutch is perfect for a splash of colour. Overall its a very young fun look!

But the event wasn't all black and white! Oh no! Some stars chose to brighten up the "blue carpet" in some bold coloured gowns.

The lovely Beyonce (far left) was finally back to her brown hair again (woohoo! She listened lol) and was looking so much better. She stood out in a figure hugging, emerald coloured fish-tail gown by Zac Posen with gold accessories.

Also in a green and gold was Mary J Blige (far right) who showed up in a loose, strapless green chiffon gown by Alexander McQueen. I love her statement gold necklace but it would like better without the gold hoop earrings. But as for the bason cut hair - what can I say??! It's awful!

For more pics

Emmy Rossum (second left) looked sugar sweet in a candy pink fitted, knee-length dress. Her usual brown curls, were loosened into lovely soft waves, and like most of the other celebs, she accessorised in gold.

Finally, we have Carrie Underwood (second right) who is moving up in the style stakes lately. She wore my favourite dress of the night, a stunning floor length red dress with a gold corseted waist and a plunging neckline. She got everything right from her delicate, gold drop earrings, her gold cuff bracelet and her champagne coloured clutch bag, to her soft natural looking up do. The night's style winner without a doubt!

From Rihanna's weird robo-chick wears a velvet bubble skirt creation, to Mary J Blige's multi coloured sequined dress, Nicole Scherzinger's rainbow coloured concoction and Carrie Underwood's doily dress - the American Music Awards 2007 was full of fashion disasters!

But which look do you think is the worst??

I've got a massive post for you all from the Fashion Rocks event yesterday. There were so many stars there, some getting it oh so right and some oh so wrong. Here are all the ones I could find from my least favourite, right down to me fav look of the night!


So we start with Teri Hatcher who looked a bit like a keyboard in her striped black and white gown and silver heels. The style of the dress is ok, in fact the top half is really nice but the fabric and stripes look ridiculous!

For more pics of Teri

Also in a bit of a weird outfit was Tyra Banks who ruined a perfectly nice LBD with ankle boots, and an incredibly strange hairstyle. Does she not own a mirror?!

Actress Gina Gershon also attended, and while her outfit wasn't that bad it was a little underdressed for Fashion Rocks. Her black top with a ribbon was cute but maybe it would have been more appropriate if it was a dress.

The fabulous Kimora Lee was also there wearing a bin bag. I don't like this dress lol. Kimora rocks it anyway but she could have done a lot better in the style stakes.

For more pics of Kimora

The talented Alicia Keys showed up wearing a long black dress and strappy black sandals. Ok so this outfit isn't that bad but it's not that good either. The shoes like cheap and the length of the dress is just wrong. Her hair looks great though, very 70s!

For more pics of Alicia

Another singer at the event was Fergie who performed with Aerosmith and Ludacris. Whilst on the red carpet Fergie was sporting an unusual LBD. I like the skirt but the top half is just over the top and fussy. And why do her eyebrows look so weird? The shoes are cute though!

For more pics of Fergie

Ciara looked really beautiful yesterday in a floor length, pure white, gown. The style makes Ciara, who can sometimes look manly, seem really feminine and the silver details on the straps give her a bit of sparkle. I still think she could have done better though because there's nothing exciting about it.

Mary. J Blige made a style statement in this white trench coat worn as a dress a black berret and a pair of patent black courts. This look is very unusual but for some reason I kinda like it. What do you think?

Sophia Bush looked all sweet and smiley and wore a real cute little great dress to the event which she teamed with stylish black tights and patent black courts. I like this overall look but I'm not sure about the cut of the dress, could have been a little more flaterring.

For more pics of Sophia

Nicole Richie also showed up, baby bump and all, and combined the black and white theme of the evening into this zebra patterned chiffon gown. I'm not sure about the pattern but the style of the dress is really beautiful and Nicole looks great now she's gaining a bit of weight. Her bright gold accessories were bang on trend too.

The gorgeous Jessica Alba was on the red carpet looking sleek in her long black slinky dress and slicked back hair. I like the daringness of the chain detail down the dress but I don't really like the fit.

Country star LeAnn Rimes knows that sometimes simplicity is best so she showed up looking lovely ina simple black pencil dress with a black waist belt and black courts. Simple but effective.

It was nice to see Mya show up since I don't hear a lot about her lately and I'm a big fan. She bucked the black and white trend and instead opted for a tulip skirted brown bandeau dress with a waist belt and brown sandals. The colour and shape of the dress suited her really well and her hair looked lovely.

Buffy star Michelle Trachtenberg turned up looking like an ice queen with her pale skin, dark hair and loose white and silver dress. She looked very stylish and accessorised with a really cute clutch.

For more pics of Michelle

Michelle's love rival, Ashlee Simpson (Ashley now dates Michelle's ex boyfriend, Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz) opted for the complete opposite look of blonde tanned california girl in a fitted black mini dress. The fit of this dress is really hot and the neckline and sleeves make it look stylish instead of trashy.

For more pics of Ashlee

Carmen Electra wore a really cute vintage looking cream lace dress with a black ribbon and black peep toes to match. She also added a splash of colour with some daring bright red lipstick but I think this outfit would have looked a million times better if she'd tied her hair back off her face, it's just too much down like that.

For more pics of Carmen

Another country star at the event was ex American Idol-er Carrie Underwood who wore an absolutely beattiful little white dress. The cut is unusual but really flattering and her white clutch and gold sandals compliment the outfit pefectly. Her hair looks adorable in this side swept pony tail and her make-up is simple and elegant. All in all I think this look is great!

And finally to our top three. The bronze goes to the lovely Ashanti, who dazzled at the event in a goregous sparkly grey pencil skirt and a black vest tucked in. She accessorised with black peep toes with bows on the front, a black clutch and loads od stylish silver bangles. Her eye make-up was hot, her hair bouncy but my only complaint is that the black lining under the skirt should have been the length of the skirt because it looks a bit silly like that and keeps taking my attention from the rest of the outfit!

For more pics of Ashanti

Silver goes to Mischa Barton who actually turned up in a sleek metallic silver floor length gown. She looks statuesque and elegant here with her hair pulled back and subtle green eye make-up. This outfit is definalty an attention grabber and Mischa's the perfect person to carry it off.

And my gold look of the night goes to........Jennifer Lopez! Am I biased? I'm trying not to be but I do think she looked the best there! She wore this beautiful black flapepr inspired dress witha plunging neckline and gold sparkle. She teamed the flattering dress with unusal black stilettos that had roses on the front, a funky black and diamond wrap around bracelet and gold dangly earrings. Her skin was glowing as usual, her gold eye make-up matched perfectly and I even like her burgandy nail polish. Everything about this outfit is great!

Ex-American Idoler Carrie Underwood was looking cute in her slightly unusual but interesting LBD and white and gold shoes. Carrie manages to look lady like but even a little bit edgy in this outfit at the Kenneth Cole fashion show on Monday.

The WAG of Girls Aloud, Cheryl Tweedy, and her hubby Ashley Cole, were dining out in style at Cipriani Restaurant in Mayfair earlier today. I'm not too fussed on Cheryl as a person (it's not cool to put other people down to feel better about yourself!) but Cheryl's white coat is absolutely amazing!

And I love her daring new blunt fringe, really sets her apart from the other girls in the group. Cery cleopatra-ish!

From one girl grouper to another, Nicole of PCD's was out at Joseph's Nightclub July 20th looking so celeb hot in her white skinny jeans and wedges and carrying that amazing leopard print and white bag, love it! I also like her layered vests and loose hair which make this look chilled enough for clubbing.

Finally we have the beautiful and classy Rihanna leaving TRL on Tuesday and working her walking stick! It goes so well with this sophisticated outfit actually, haha. I love her wide leg grey trousers, very stylish, and the cute white corset. I think ti's a little too smart for TRL though, maybe a cute vest would have toned it down a bit instead of the corset.
