She may have been all covered up in sweatpants and a baseball cap, but Megan Fox still exuded sexiness as she ventured out for a bite to eat in Los Feliz, on Tuesday.
The
Transformers hottie accessorized the dressed-down ensemble with a pair of pricey Minnetonka Mukluk boots -- but where was her wedding ring?
Fox tied the knot with former
90210 star Brian Austin Green last year, and she's rarely seen without her 3 carat diamond sparkler.
The actress has already lost one $80,000 engagement ring, misplacing it on a Hawaiian beach just hours after Green proposed. Let's hope that's not the case this time!

Channeling the original
Charlie's Angles, Ashley Tisdale exited the Byron and Tracey salon with a 1970s "Farrah Fawcett flip" that matched her vintage ensemble, on Tuesday.

Now that a verdict has finally been reached in Michael Jackson's murder trial, brother Jermaine is ready to talk!
The former Jackson 5 member stopped by
The Ellen DeGeneres Show (dressed just like Ellen!) to speak out on the jury's verdict, and what it meant to the Jackson fam.
When Ellen asked if MJ had been keeping his addiction a secret, Jermaine replied:
"No, he wasn’t addicted. There was an addiction to Demerol in 2001 in… the early 2000’s but that was because of pain. Even during the autopsy report there was no addiction to any of that. Michael just wanted to sleep. He did not want to die. He trusted the doctor and the negligence and everything. It’s really sad because we lost an incredible person. To see and hear the verdict…My Mother cried and we consoled her and the fans were cheering and everything but it’s not bringing Michael back. We lost a brother."
And what kind of sentence does Jermaine want for Murray?
"I think the sentencing was very soft. I mean you would probably do more time if you stole. If you went into the hospital and stole cases of Propofol you would probably do more time then. And to give him two years for taking a life. Forget about Michael Jackson but taking anyone’s life. But it happens to be my brother who loved the world and loved people and did so much for the world….He cared about people, human beings, children."
Murray is currently in custody at the Twin Towers Correction Facility in Los Angeles, where he'll remain pending his Nov. 29 sentencing.
Unfortunately for the Jackson fam, the Doctor may be granted just a year of house arrest due to jail overcrowding in California.

Shakira is officially the first Colombian artist to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame!
The singer has been recording albums in her native country since the early 1990s, but she hit it big in America with the Latin Grammy-winning single, "Wherever, Whenever".
The sexy Latina said in a speech on Tuesday after receiving her star:
"I would like to dedicate this to the Latin community in the U.S., a community that restlessly works and dreams and dreams and works everyday to make this a better country."
The Colombian beauty already has two Grammys under her belt, and her latest album, "Sale el Sol", is up for a Latin Grammy this year.
Shakira concluded before posing with her star, "When I was seven years-old, I came to Los Angeles for the first time and I passed by the Walk of Fame with my mother. I remember that my mom told me, 'Shaki, one day you are going to have your name on this place.'"

Just one week short of the semifinals, Nancy Grace is the latest contestant to get the boot from
Dancing With the Stars!
It came as no surprise that the CNN anchor got the axe, after performing a "sexy" tango that totally lacked sex appeal, and did little to impress fans.
After she was eliminated, Grace expressed:
"I am so proud, but I really cannot take the credit. It's been all Tristan from the get-go."
Partner Tristan added, "We really had a fun time and it's the support we get from you all that really pushes us to do it. Nancy and I have said from the beginning - it's not about being the best, it's about doing our best, and I think that's what we did."
Tune in next week as the four semifinalists -- J.R. Martinez, Rob Kardashian, Hope Solo and Ricki Lake -- battle it out for the Mirror Ball trophy!

Jennifer Lopez was spotted leaving her New York City hotel with twins Max and Emme today, and the singer/actress smiled as she braved a mob of fans and photographers camped outside.
Lopez attended
Glamour Magazine’s 21st Annual Women of the Year Awards last night, and she chatted with reporters about how she’s gotten through this difficult year. “I think [what] I’ve learned in the past year or two is that I can stand on my own two feet, and to give myself credit for that,†she told
Access Hollywood. “To really give myself a little bit of love, instead of always beating myself up for what I didn’t do or how I could have done something better or what else I’m going to do next,†she continued.
So what is she hoping to pass on to her 3-year-old twins? "That’s the one thing I want to teach my daughter -– to love herself, and to feel good all on her own, no matter what happens," she said. "I just want to teach [my kids] to be great people, to love themselves, to love others, to treat others with respect and kindness, to know that they’re in a privileged position, and to be charitable and work hard … just because you have success doesn’t mean that you stop doing those things.â€

Wonder how Max and Emme are handling their parents' split?
