Not sure what's more exciting ... the LA Lakers playing the Phoenix Suns or Vanessa Hudgens taking her little sister Stella to the Staples Center.

Judging by the faces of the guys behind the two adorable sisters, we have a feeling seeing Vanessa in her sexy purple blouse was worth the price of admission. Stella was sporting plenty of purple, too! Who knew the Hudgens sisters were such die-hard fans?

Vanessa recently stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show to not only promote Sucker Punch, but to chat about her ex-boyfriend Zac Efron. See what she told Ellen about her current relationship with Zac ... after the jump.

Hilary Duff dyed her light locks a rich shade of brown last month, but this fringe covering her forehead is definitely something we haven't since her Lizzie McGuire days!

Duff tweeted this shot the other day and wrote, "Leah the hair dresser! BANG BANG ;) new moon...new me! Time for din folks! ... Wow! Yes! A success! Thank god you guys love it makes me feel so good! Here's one more pic just cause I liked it."

So what's Duff up to right now? Yesterday the actress attended a charity event in Indianapolis for Blessings in a Backpack, and on Monday she dropped by Bethune Elementary School in Atlanta to present a check that will help fund 330 kids in the Blessings program for 2 years. The organization donates food to needy children across the United States, and Duff has been a supporter (and their unofficial spokesperson) since 2005.

Britney Spears looks stunning in this new promotional photo for Femme Fatale wearing a tweed dress and gold peep toe heels! The sexy mama of two certainly knows how to build anticipation for her upcoming album due out March 29.

The 29-year-old pop star already has two hit singles from the album ... "Till The World Ends" and "Hold It Against Me," and we have a feeling there are plenty more hits to come.

Great to see our girl Brit rockin' those luscious blonde locks that are very reminiscent of her "I'm A Slave 4 U" days. Loves it!

Britney will be performing on Good Morning America, but the performance will not be in New York. Find out where she'll be hitting the stage ... after the jump.

Just hours after allegedly throwing a chair through a window at Good Morning America's New York City studio, Chris Brown was spotted greeting fans and signing autographs outside of his hotel.

Earlier in the day Brown sat down with GMA to promote his new album F.A.M.E., but when host Robin Roberts asked about Brown's 2009 assault of then-girlfriend Rihanna, the 21-year-old singer flipped out. Brown reportedly charged into a dressing room, ripped off his shirt and threw a metal chair through a window, and eyewitnesses then spotted a shirtless Brown running from the ABC building into the Times Square crowd before hopping into a chauffeured vehicle and driving off. Immediately after his outburst, he tweeted, "I'm so over people bringing this past s--- up!!! Yet we praise Charlie sheen and other celebs for there b-------!"

It's now being reported that ABC will not press charges against Brown, and NYPD will not investigate the matter because there is no complaining victim. Roberts has even invited Brown back on the show, adding, "We wish him the absolute best and ... we've extended the invitation to him and I sure hope that he takes us up on it, because we'd love to have another chat with him."

Had the network decided to press charges, Brown could be facing jail time as he is still on probation for his 2009 assault case.

Christina Aguilera is one of Twitter's newest members.

The 30-year-old singer is hoping to put her public drunkenness arrest behind her and focus on her new gig on NBC's The Voice. Xtina tweets:

"Brace yourselves... So excited to connect with all my fans here. I'm getting the hang of this. Never thought I'd say the word 'hashtag.' Pandora's box has been opened."

Aguilera, who split from husband Jordan Bratman last year, addresses being in the spotlight through her troubling times. She adds:

"We're only able to be seen through the microscope of the media and what people gossip about. You take the good with the bad."

We're pulling for you Christina! See Xtina looking sexy in The Voice promo ... after the jump.

Reese Witherspoon celebrated her 35th birthday at Tavern in Brentwood with the entire family, but her fiance Jim Toth wasn't in the mood for pictures.

While the family left the restaurant, Toth flipped out on photographers, verbally assaulting them and giving the finger .... all in the presence of Reese's young kids Ava and Deacon. Not only was Reese's soon-to-be-hubby grabbing the cameras, but he also physically pushed the camera guys.

After photographers told Toth the cameras were catching this, he replied, "I don't give a f**k." See the video below!

Not a great way to start the week for the bride-to-be who is reportedly getting married this weekend at her country estate in Ojai, California.

After witnessing the mayhem outside of the restaurant, Reese quickly went inside the waiting SUV with her kids.

Kim K was out and about in her thigh high black leather Christian Louboutin heels and lookin' darn fierce. But no matter how dressed up she was, the down-to-earth Kardashian sister still got out of her Range Rover and pumped her own gas.

Kim opted out of antique shopping with mom Kris and sister Kourtney ... and we kind of don't blame her.



The ladies spend the day checking out a bunch of antique shops, and picked up what looked like a long funky '70s painting (check out the gallery). Let's hope they got a good deal on that thing!

Find out what Kim K did later that day, after the jump ...

Dame Elizabeth Taylor passed away at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles this morning, her rep has confirmed. Taylor had been at Cedars-Sinai since last month after suffering congestive heart failure symptoms, and her rep added, "She was surrounded by her children - Michael Wilding, Christopher Wilding, Liza Todd, and Maria Burton."

The iconic actress is survived by four children, ten grandchildren and four great grandchildren. Taylor was married to eight times to seven different men throughout her life: Conrad Hilton, Micheal Wilding, Mike Todd, Eddie Fisher, John Warner, Larry Fortensky and Richard Burton, the latter of whom she tied the knot with twice. Taylor was most recently linked to talent manager Jason Winters.

During her career, Taylor won two Best Actress Oscars: the first in 1961 for Butterfield 8 and later in 1967 for Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf. Taylor was well-known for her fundraising efforts for AIDS and HIV causes after she lost her close friend Rock Hudson to the disease in the 1980s.
