Yesterday when Britney Spears hit the dance studio in a pair of
wacky socks, we couldn't help but wonder where she got her inspiration from. We've snapped everyone from Liv Tyler to Ashley Tisdale rockin' a pair of tube socks, but Britney's definitely stick out as the wildest ones we've seen in a while!

This morning we spotted Rihanna at the Hotel Plaza Athenee in Paris after the Vivienne Westwood fashion show, and a little bit later we caught her heading out to the Chanel show at Jardin des Tuileries.
We love the R&B princess no matter what, but thank goodness she changed out of the rodeo queen outfit and into something a little sleeker for Chanel! Coco would def approve of the outfit on the right!

Now it
could be those massive platforms that she's trying to walk in, but I'm guessing Sophie Monk might have had a few sips of something when she dined at Sur last night. Walking in 6 inch heels while intoxicated isn't easy...and if the paps are there to document you taking a tumble, it will surely end up on our blog!

Halle Berry was snapped leaving a friend's house in the valley yesterday, and she's looking about as scorching hot as the weather up there! Now that we know she's not pregnant, we can resume discussing how
good amazing she looks for her age!

Our photographers caught Victoria Beckham leaving the gym today, and even though the Posh one wasn't camera ready, she didn't exactly hide her face as her driver sped out of the parking lot! Is Posh finally starting to embrace her inner gym rat?!

Or was she "totally" just screwing with us?
Yesterday an ever expanding Kourtney Kardashian was snapped leaving the Paige Denim, and the expectant mama flashed some bling on her left hand, and when asked if it was an engagement ring, she responded, "totally."
However, Kim's older sister also told X17 photogs, "Australians are the sh*t," (where did THAT come from!?) and she wouldn't divulge any dirt on her pregnancy or Khloe's wedding, so we're thinking this (along with the fact that the ring hardly has any diamonds on it) points to her totally pulling our leg...

Aww, cheer up Linds! At least you're still getting invited to the big fashion week parties!
Last night Lindsay Lohan and little sister Ali attended Vogue's big bash at the Hotel Crillon in Paris, and even though Lindsay made some crackalicious faces, she did look quite stunning. From her hair and makeup (ignore the lips, ignore the lips, ignore the lips) to her sexy black pantsuit, Lindsay truly sparkled at the event. Awww, maybe there's hope for her yet!
And she wasn't the only one...it appears as though Ali let Lindsay dress her again, but the results weren't so disastrous this time:

UN ambassador Angelina Jolie and her partner Brad Pitt are currently in Syria, and earlier today the couple visited the poverty stricken suburbs of Damascus to sit down and chat with a handful of Iraqi refugee families.
Angelina held hands with a woman who recounted the horrific tale of her abduction and torture, and the Oscar-wining actress was nearly reduced to tears. "I'm grateful to you for sharing this story," Angelina told her. "It helps to make it easier to understand your problems. There's a lot of suffering in this part of the world; you're a very brave and strong woman for putting this behind you for the sake of your children."
Brad took the time to play with some of the refugee children, and Angelina discussed the crisis with Syrian President Bashar Assad and his wife, Asma. Angie also spoke about the upcoming Iraqi parliamentary elections (scheduled for January 16) and the UNHCR quoted Angelina as saying, "Most Iraqi refugees cannot return to Iraq in view of the severe trauma they experienced there, the uncertainty linked to the coming Iraqi elections, the security issues and the lack of basic services. They will, therefore, be in need of continued support from the international community."
This is Angelina's second visit to Syria in two years.
