They’re both big fans of promotional appearances, and last night (May 6) Nicole Richie and Joel Madden were spotted at the launch of the House of Harlow 1960 Jewelry Collection in Miami, Florida.

The “Simple Life” hottie and her “I Don’t Wanna Be in Love” rocker beau looked to be having a wonderful time as they mingled with fellow guests at Ida and Harry at Fontainebleau.

Mr. Madden looked a little extra punky as he sported his new bleached-blonde coif along with aviator sunglasses and a pair of gold chains.

Meanwhile, Nicole was beaming with pride as she showed off her House of Harlow wares, sporting a vintage turquoise floor-length silk dress with gold bangle bracelets and armbands.

They’ve been riding high on their newlywed bliss, and yesterday (May 6) Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt were spotted out and about in Santa Monica, California.

The peroxide pair was busy filming scenes for their hit MTV Reality TV show “The Hills” as they pranced around the Santa Monica Pier looking lovey-dovey.

And as always they both looked super stylish with Heidi sporting a sexy light blue denim uni-suit while Spencer got preppy in a sweater/button-up/jeans combo.

Last month, Heidi and Spencer made their vows at a small ceremony outside of Los Angeles after having eloped to Mexico last year.

She’s no stranger to swanky high-profile events, and last night Hilary Duff was busy playing hostess in Los Angeles.

The “So Yesterday” songstress looked excited as she hosted the Herve Leger by Max Azria Celebration at Live! on Sunset Boulevard, working the red carpet like the seasoned pro that she is.

And of course, Miss Duff was the belle of the ball, turning heads left and right in her mint green minidress with matching funky strappy heels.

The evening celebrated the debut of the “Live! On Sunset” boutique and the Herve Leger by Max Azria bandage dress.  Guests enjoyed live music, cocktails, and appetizers.

As the case of Chris Brown’s attack on Rihanna progresses, Brown’s lawyer Mark Geragos has begun to unveil his strategy to get the whole thing thrown out of court.

The “Kiss Kiss” singer’s lawman’s first order of business is to attack the LAPD for leaking a photograph of Rihanna’s bruised face, as he believes it made a fair trial impossible.

Geragos stated, “I am informed and believe that this highly prejudicial photograph was sold by an LAPD officer to the entertainment website, TMZ.  The photograph was immediately viewed by hundreds of thousands of viewers and was displayed on every news channel for several weeks … The purpose of the leak was necessarily for profit and to vilify Mr. Brown and poison the potential jury pool.”

He continued, “I intend to use such evidence at the preliminary hearing to attack their credibility … I believe there is a reasonable likelihood that the case will be dismissed at the preliminary hearing.”

However, Geragos’ strategy may not be enough right off the bat.  An uninvolved lawyer told press, “It’s unlikely the judge will dismiss the case on the grounds of leaked evidence. It’s not police conduct at issue here, it’s Chris Brown’s.”

As controversy continues to surround Carrie Prejean over semi-nude photos of the beauty queen posing topless in lacy underwear, the future of her Miss California title hangs in the balance.

As the owner of the Miss USA franchise, real estate mogul Donald Trump discussed the photo scandal during a call in to the “On-Air With Ryan Seacrest” morning show on Wednesday. The Donald says he’s taking a look at the assortment of racy shots and he’ll make a final determination on Carrie’s future as a pageant queen later this week.

“They’re sending me the photos now, and we have to make a decision, but from what I’m hearing, they’re not so bad.” He added, “And her body does look good.”

“She’s a beautiful girl,” he continued. “And I’m not sure if, in the end, is this going to help her or hurt her? I think maybe it helps her. I don’t think she realizes that.”

The 21-year-old student signed a contract stating she has never been photographed nude or partially nude when she was crowned Miss California. Pageant organizers will be meeting with runner-up Miss Malibu Tami Farrell in the next few days, suggesting she may soon be taking over the title.

A lawyer for fashion designer Jack McCollough, who was allegedly headbutted by Kiefer Sutherland at a party in lower Manhattan Monday, is slamming reports that he provoked the actor. On Wednesday, The New York Daily News alleged that the assault – which left McCollough with a broken nose – began after the fashionisto bumped into fellow guest Brooke Shields, prompting Kiefer to confront him.

“Anyone who knows Jack McCollough knows that he would not hurt a fly,” a rep for McCollough, who heads NYC’s prestigious Proenza Schouler fashion house tells PEOPLE. “All we can say at this point is that he was the victim of a vicious, violent, unprovoked assault and that the matter is in the hands of the authorities.”

The NYPD is investigating the incident. Kiefer, the star of FOX’s 24, is currently on probation in California stemming from his 2007 collar for DUI.

Rihanna attended the Costume Institute Gala in New York last night and we have to ask this question: WTF is that you’re wearing woman?

Whoever talked her into wearing that shiteous outfit should be thrown in jail.

She has just booked a European tour for the summer, and now Britney Spears has been granted to take her kids with her on the global romp.

Sean Preston and Jayden James will join their “Toxic” mommy on the European leg of her Circus tour, thanks to their helpful dad Kevin Federline.

K-Fed’s lawman Mark Vincent Kaplan told press, “[Kevin is] more than happy to facilitate Britney being able to see the boys on the European leg of the tour.”

He continued, “[Britney] should not have to sacrifice visits with her boys while pursuing her career.  Kevin has even been able to make sure that Britney can maintain the boys’ regular schedule, even though she’s on tour.”

Ever the fashionista, Victoria Beckham revealed her new Emporio Armani Women’s Underwear advertising campaign at Macy’s Herald Square in New York City on Wednesday (May 6).

Posing next to the latest ads, the former Spice Girl looked stylish in an Emporio Armani black fitted tuxedo jacket with black beaded shoulders and Swarovski crystal beaded leggings.

According to a source on the scene, Posh then took time to “greet fans and pose for individual photographs with each in a private meet-and-greet in the women’s intimates department.”

The Macy’s launch follows an appearance earlier this week at the Costume Institute Gala, during which time she showed up stag while hubby David Beckham continues playing for Milan.

Ready to support his good friend in a time of need, George Clooney will be taking the stand on behalf of Cindy Crawford’s restauranteur hubby Rande Gerber.

Charged of sexually harassing a former employee, Clooney has dismissed the claims against Gerber as ridiculous – and is willing to go to court over the matter.

“Multiple witnesses, including George Clooney . will testify that they were with Mr. Gerber for the short time period in question and that Mr. Gerber never kissed or touched any waitress,” Gerber’s spokesperson told In Touch Weekly.

Previous reports tell that the accuser alleges that Rande “attempted to fondle her in September 2008.”
