Twilight, Natalie, Jennifer and Johnny Light Up People's Choice Awards!
The People's Choice Awards kicked off a very glamorous upcoming two months with a bang last night. It was a beautiful LA evening for all the stars to step off and celebrate the start of award season, the fans, and each other. Queen Latifah was once again the show's hostess, and she got to have fun on stage from start to finish. There were some awesome A-list surprise guests, like Jennifer Aniston, who presented to Just Go With It co-star Adam Sandler, and Johnny Depp who gracefully accepted his statue and passed on a hello to Taylor Swift from his daughter. The red carpet was full of short dresses, but one of the night's most sassy minis was Kristen Stewart's sparkly frock. Her makeup and hair were also perfect for the event and made her look bright and happy despite flying straight to the show from a long day of shooting Breaking Dawn in Louisiana. She missed the arrivals line, but showed off her sweet chemistry with Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner accepting Eclipse's handful of wins — check out the full list of winners here. Robert gave us a bit of a laugh to close the show, while all three Twilight stars were game for some light teasing from Latifah during an interlude. Kid Rock and Selena Gomez and the Scene provided the musical performances, while Taylor Swift and Katy Perry were the female acts chosen by their fans. Pregnant Natalie Portman flashed a smile and her new engagement ring after meeting up with her Black Swan co-star Mila Kunis backstage. There are many more exciting and memorable pictures from the show, so check them all out and stay tuned for other highlights!

The American Music Awards were jam-packed with flashy performances after a daring red carpet for the women and leather-loving guys. Rihanna opened the night sporting a bikini ensemble for her three-song medley. Her good friend Katy Perry had her own moment in the spotlight wearing a skintight red bodysuit after ripping off her skirt, while pregnant Pink put on a lively show, though the mum-to-be kept the acrobatics to a minimum. Taylor Swift changed from her sparkly mini into an all-black skinny pants and blazer ensemble for her dramatic "Back to December/Apologize" mashup. Taylor was one of the evening's big winners, so check out the whole list here. Christina Aguilera also performed the number "Express" from her upcoming movie Burlesque.
Justin Bieber shared his triumphant times with mentor Usher, and the two also both took the stage to showcase their hits. Miley Cyrus was on her own after apparently backing out of a duet with Bret Michaels. Instead she wowed in a Marchesa minidress featuring a giant bow before her 18th birthday, which is today! Jessica Alba kicked off her Little Fockers promotional kick as a presenter with a very slick-backed do. The event ended with an exciting trip down memory lane when NKOTB and Backstreet Boys took on their greatest hits. Check out the rest of our AMAs coverage here!

Keith Urban, Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood were the big winners — check out the entire list here. Keith gave a heartfelt thank you to his wife Nicole Kidman, who skipped the red carpet but was supporting him all night long from her seat. Carrie planted a kiss on her fiancé Mike Fisher and later made a speech that included an emphatic "Awesome fans! Awesome, awesome, amazing, awesome, awesome!" Keith also performed with John Mayer, for which the guys spent the day practicing. Mayer's mystery illness didn't slow down his sense of humour as he flashed his abs to compare with Jersey Shore's The Situation,who was of course there with a few of his castmates. Carrie and Brad Paisley were among the evening's other musical acts as the country world gathered together to celebrate their genre and Nashville in the wake of the city's recent tragic flood. 
George, Leonardo and Ben Celebrate With Gorgeous Girls at Guys Choice
It was a rowdy and A-List crowd at Saturday night's Spike TV Guys Choice Awards in LA. Sandra Bullock's surprise appearance to accept the Troops Choice honours was one of the show's highlights, but there were more than a few other famous faces there to join in the party. George Clooney followed in Brad Pitt's footsteps accepting his golden antlers, while Charlize Theron was this year's Decade of Hotness winner after Halle Berry in 2009. Leonardo DiCaprio and Ben Affleck also added new statues to their collections during the testosterone-fueled event. Of course, there had to be some beautiful women added into the mix and Scarlett Johansson and Jessica Biel fit the bill perfectly.
Brooklyn Decker is becoming quite the movie star herself and was still sporting that Hawaii tan after shooting Just Go With It with Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler. George caught up with Kid Rock backstage where Jon Hamm posed with the A-Team's Bradley Cooper. The show is usually a pretty raucous event and it looks like everyone had a great time again this year.

Keith Urban to Join Robert Pattinson for George's Haiti Telethon
George Clooney has organised a global telethon in aid of Haiti, which will take place in LA, New York and London this Friday night (lunchtime Saturday AEDT). A huge lineup of stars have offered their time to support the two hour benefit, which will raise money for earthquake relief. George is set to host from LA, while Robert Pattinson has been signed on to lead proceedings in London! Keith Urban will also lend his vocal talents for the good cause: he'll take the stage in LA for a group performance with Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow.
The boys will be joined by a whole host of stars, including Brad Pitt, Zac Efron, Jennifer Aniston—deep breath—Jake Gyllenhaal, Bradley Cooper, Chris Pine and Emily Blunt, with performances also from Taylor Swift, Rihanna, Bono, Coldplay, Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z and The Edge.
Funds raised will go to Oxfam America, Red Cross, Unicef, Partners in Health and the Yele Haiti Foundation. Australian pay TV peeps can catch the Hope For Haiti telethon on MTV on Saturday from 12pm (AEDT).
