It wasn't exactly beach weather in Los Angeles on Sunday, so why not indulge in a little retail therapy?!
Yesterday Hilary Duff and her adorable son Luca went shopping in Beverly Hills, and she was in a great mood after spending the afternoon with her two-year old boy. But maybe the release of her first new music in seven years has her a bit excited as well? Her new single "Chasing The Sun" is set to drop on Tuesday, and she's been tweeting all about it, and you may have even seen some planes flying around with banners promoting the new song.
So what can we expect from Hilary's new tunes? The starlet recently sat down with
Pop Justice and spilled the deets on her new album. "When I first started recording, the album was a lot heavier," she says. "It was a lot more serious. I started to steer away from that because as part of my personality, I do like to have fun and I do like to live as carefree and big as possible and do things that make me happy and be a positive person. So the album took on those kinds of legs and I got inspired by some of the folkier-type music. I love Mumford & Sons and I love The Lumineers. It’s definitely a straightforward pop album but with a bit of that influence in there."
That's funny, because we totally thought she was going the EDM route! Hil revealed that those tracks have been scrapped -- whew! "When I came to the label I just kept saying ‘I want it to feel a little earthy and authentic’ because I’m from Texas, and they were like ‘earthy? What does that mean?’. But that’s the best way I can describe it. It’s definitely pop – I wanted to have those melodies that get stuck in your head – but also have some foot-stomping and claps that bring me back to my roots."
We can't wait to hear it!

Not only is he one of the most successful stars on the planet, but on Sunday night Justin Bieber was given the Champ of Charity Award at the 2014 Young Hollywood Awards at The Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles. Loves it!
Pal Cody Simpson presented the Biebs with the honor, and the Aussie singer tweeted, “Chillin at @YHAwards, gonna hit the stage with my studio mate soon. Check us." Bieber added some touching photos of himself with Make a Wish recipient Grace Kesablak, who he brought up onstage with him at the show. Hey, he may be a sizzurp lovin' heartbreaker, but he's still a good guy!
Biebs tweeted, "Follow my girl @celebritygrace on Instagram. That is one of her wishes! Love you Grace :)," while the Young Hollywood Awards added, "Congrats to @justinbieber on his #ChampOfCharity award!! So amazing to watch him with #celebritygrace! @MakeAWish."

That's one super high slit!
Kim Kardashian left the studio on Sunday in Los Angeles, and when she climbed into her Mercedes SUV, she needed help from an assistant at the studio to make sure she didn't flash the dozens of photographers camped outside. And speaking of her underwear, either Kim's wearing a super flimsy bra or she's not wearing one at all...
Kim and hubby Kanye West returned from their romantic Mexican vacation on Thursday night, and it looks like she'll be here for a while. Kim was only supposed to spend about a month shooting with sisters Khloe and Kourtney for their spin-off reality show in the Hamptons, and she hasn't been back to New York for several weeks now. Still, looks like she was busy shooting the confessionals for the show ... she may be famous for nothing, but she's certainly one hard worker!

The first trailer for
Mad Max: Fury Road debuted at Comic-Con on Saturday, and from the all-star cast to the pyrotechnics, it does NOT disappoint!
Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron star in the action packed thriller, along with Nicholas Hoult, Zoe Kravitz, Riley Keough and red hot Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. This is the prequel to the Mad Max trilogy (the last film was released in 1985), and when asked what it was like to return to the franchise thirty years later, director George Miller said, "It was very familiar. A lot of time has passed. Technology has changed. It was an interesting thing to do. Crazy, but interesting." Miller added that the flick is "a Western on wheels. Even if it's in the future, we have gone back the more elemental behaviors. More medieval. The setting is very spare and clear."
Of course, moderator Chris Hardwick had to ask about Mel Gibson, who starred in the first three films. "Who knew that Mel would turn into Mad Max at one point," he joked. Miller's reply? "They have that eternal tension," he said. " On one hand they are entirely lovable and accessible. And on the other there is that element of danger … It applies to every charismatic person." Well put!
Mad Max: Fury Road hits theaters May 15, 2015 ... check out the trailer below!

Beyonce took a brief break from her On The Run tour with Jay Z over the weekend, and the singer/actress posted several sexy Instagram photos of herself relaxing somewhere tropical and totally peaceful.
But seeing as she sings about the surfboard sex position in "Drunk In Love," we have to wonder whether she posed atop the boards as a cheeky reference to her dirty song lyrics, or if she had forgotten all about that! In case you didn't know, Bey sings, "Then I fill the tub up halfway then ride it with my surfboard, surfboard, surfboard / Graining on that wood, graining, graining on that wood."
Well, we remembered! And seeing as Bey also posted shots of some wine classes at sunset, we have a feeling her and Jay might have gotten a little cray cray in love shortly after the pics were taken...

On Saturday Fergie stepped out in a sexy snakeskin tank top, boots and a Chanel fanny pack (yes really), and while she may have totally badass style, the singer was super sweet when our photogs snapped her carrying her adorable son Axl. And their matching bandanas? So cute!
We're not sure where hubby Josh Duhamel was, but he's been busy promoting his new TV show,
Battle Creek. Last week he attended a panel at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, and he revealed that being able to stay close to his family here in Los Angeles was one of the many reasons why he selected the CBS series.
“Yeah, it is definitely something that I thought about. It made a lot easier to make that decision, knowing that I had a lot of really talented people around me, because it truly does make you better and that’s something I’ve learned is that the better people you have around you, the better you’re gonna be and so I feel safe,” Josh said at the event.

We can't believe how big Sean Preston and Jayden James are getting!
Over the weekend Britney Spears took her boys to Disneyland in Anaheim, and she posted the above photo of the trio and wrote, "Took these two little Mouseketeers to @Disneyland today... like mama like sons ;)." Awww!
Britney is set to start performing in Las Vegas again next month for her Piece of Me residency concert, and though executives are allegedly eager to extend her concert series through 2016, Brit Brit doesn't want the show to go on!
"Britney cannot wait until the Vegas show is done because she wants to start a family with David. She says she will get pregnant as soon as the show is finished! David is always with her in Vegas and they act like an old married couple together. He is really good with her kids and has taken to the father role pretty easily," a source told Radar last week.
And she definitely dropped a hint about wanting to expand her family last year too! In an interview in December 2013 she told InStyle, "I would really like to have another baby, a girl. I think she would be like a mini-me. I think it’s going to be crazy. I’m not going to feel as alone in the world anymore. I’m going to feel like I have a second person, like, that’s me."

Don't worry, no little Beckhams were left in the car this time around!
On Saturday morning Victoria and David Beckham went to Soul Cycle in Brentwood, and the duo were joined by sons Brooklyn and Romeo and their adoooorable daughter Harper. 15-year-old Brooklyn joined his parents in the class, and we're not sure what Harper and Romeo did while everyone worked up a sweat, but clearly Harper was quite entertained, because she couldn't stop smiling and giggling on the way out!
Victoria was her usual stoic self, and while Becks appeared to be in a bad mood, the couple's three-year-old girl is just making us melt. Seriously ... how precious is she?!
