If you have a couple extra pounds that you're trying to get rid of you could always try Jessica Alba's strategy -- buy $16,000 dollars worth of garments that don't fit.

Trend alert! We're still seeing Gerard Darel's bags everywhere. The latest rage is the cotton-blend 24hr sweater bag, which is the new favorite of cuties Jessica Alba and Emmy Rossum. Also a big fav, the Dublin shopper. Great size, casual yet polished feel. We'd be fans, too, if we had the bucks!

You know a designer is on to something when he has a following as diverse as this list of celebrity moms and starlets:

• Jessica Alba
• Emmy Rossum
• Cameron Diaz
• Halle Berry
• Angelina Jolie
• Jennifer Garner
• Jennifer Lopez
• Eva Longoria Parker
• Miley Cyrus
• Ashlee Simpson
• Lindsay Lohan

In the gallery, the hot yet casual look of Gerard Darel on hot and casual celebs.

Jessica Alba looked soft and beautiful at the Democratic Presidential Convention last week. Alongside her husband Cash Warren and surrounded by other celebrities like Fergie and model Lily Donaldson, Jessica stole the show in her Gerard Darel floral top.

For Jessica, the French fashion house has been a longtime love. Though you can't see in the photo, she paired this chic top with a gorgeous navy velvet pants suit. As she grows as a person, her style also grows. We just love this lady and hope to see lots more of her in the future!

Is there a hidden message on Miley's behind? She's wearing PRVCY Premium's "Monaco" jean, which we know she bought at Harmony Lane boutique in Beverly Hills this past weekend, because she doesn't have any privacy.

Other celebs substituting PRVCY for privacy? Hayden Panettiere, Eva Longoria Parker, Jessica Alba and Emmy Rossum are all fans of the new line.

We also hear that the brand donates 10% of its sales to breast cancer research. If you want to feel like you're living in the limelight and help a good cause along the way, you can get your own pair for $198 at www.shopharmonylane.com.

Since Jessica Alba has become a new mom, we haven't seen an awful lot of her lately. However, she stepped out in a custom Narciso Rodriguez pink ombre gown at the 2008 ALMA Awards. It was nice to see that she's still got her sizzling sense of fashion.

And, holy torpedos, er toledos! We sure do love her Neil Lane drop earrings. They are definitely an accessory we will be seeking out for our own closet (well, something like it) very, very soon.

It was a sunny afternoon at the Pasadena Civic Center, where the 10th annual ALMA Awards hosted by hot housewife Eva Longoria in 15 different dresses, all my Latin designers. My Favorite was this over-the-shoulder shot wearing Venezuelan designer Armando Piquer.

We caught some heat for pointing out that Angelina Jolie looked awful -- no really, just terrible -- in that grey dress at the Cannes premiere of her new film, Changeling, directed by Clint Eastwood.

That's fine. You're entitled to your opinions, and we love when you share them in the comments. Bring it on!

However, we also want to reiterate that our dismay was largely due to the fact that Angelina usually leads the pack when it comes to fashion fabulousness, even while pregnant.

She does have some competition. In the gallery, Angelina's best, plus nine ladies currently vying for the Hottest Mama, Summer 2008 title.

When you're a celebrity jet-setter, you have to be able to reconcile fashion with comfort. Traveling the globe in style is of the utmost importance.

You already know that a baby bump (and the subsequent baby) seems to be one of the must-have accessories in Hollywood this year. You also probably know that looking fashionable into the third trimester is no easy feat -- however, stars like Halle Berry, Angelina Jolie, Jessica Alba, and Jennifer Lopez have managed to look put together throughout their pregnancies.

Aside from the fact that they have a herd of stylists undoubtedly giving them a hand, how do they do it? Let me tell you -- they play up their assets. Whether they have copious amounts of cleavage, killer legs, or just have an amazing glow about them, these lovely ladies played up their pregnancies and looked great doing it. Look through the gallery for tips on how you can dress to the nines all nine months, too.

As if wearing millions of dollars worth of jewelry every day weren't enough already, celebrities are now starting to put bling on their cars.

A car jewelry (yes, you heard that right, I said car jewelry) company, License2Bling, has started manufacturing designs and license plate frames with Swarovski crystals embedded. In case you're worried about someone stealing your bling, you can even get special security screws to keep everything in place.

I think you'll be surprised at just how many stars own these products!

• The Hilton sisters
• Britney Spears
• Kim Kardashian
• Mya
• Nicole Richie
• Eva Longoria
• Alicia Keyes
• Jessica Simpson
• Hilary Duff
• Sanda Bullock
• Jessica Alba
• Jessica Biel
• Lindsay Lohan
• Kimberly Stewart
• Scott Storch

Paris Hilton was the obvious one on the list. I mean, when she's not out committing crimes against fashion humanity like in the picture above, she's can be found buying bling for herself, her dog, her ferret, her plane, her house, whatever. Her pets probably all own more diamonds than I do. But, is anyone else a little shocked to see Sandra Bullock on the list? She seems so down to Earth. I really would never have pegged her as a car bling kind of girl.

For you patriotic boys and girls you can get an American flag with red, white and blue crystals. My grandma would love that. There's also a pink crystal breast cancer ribbon and even a Christian fish. Anyways, check out some of the License2Bling's products and tell me what you think! Would you ever put something like this on your car?

I was about to put Jessica Alba at the top of my best dressed list -- then I saw Cate Blanchett. Sorry, Jessica, you really do look beautiful, but Cate is, and always will be The Queen.

Both pregnant women were gorgeous and glowing in purple. Jessica went the feathered route using the birdage to draw attention to her newly (naturally) enhanced cleavage. She is in her third trimester, by the way! I had no clue she was that far along. Her bump doesn't look that big yet!

In my eyes, though, Cate wins the battle of the preggo celeb because of her lovely unique neckline and and the unique patterns on the bottom of her dress. Really, I love her as an actress, so this woman can do no wrong in my eyes. And pregnancy suites her. She's one of those insanely lucky women who gets even hotter when she's knocked up.

VITA Como Wrap bracelets are a new must have for celebrities this season. They're fun because you can snap them together to make them longer or mix colors! Personally, I probably wouldn't wear anything that reminded me of a dog collar or of a funky new kind of S&M handcuffs. But, to each his own. If you're looking to make your day wear a little more hardcore, than these are the bracelets for you.

Each bracelet comes in at a handy $55.00 apiece, available at Harmony Lane. At 7.5 inches long you can wrap them around your wrist twice. Conveniently, they come with gold or silver studs, to match your jewelry. Oh, and I don't just mean gold and silver, the colors. I mean, the studs are made from 24 karat gold or real silver. For that price I would hope so!

Whether I like them or not, I have a feeling we'll be seeing much more of these bracelets in the near future. So far they've been seen on the likes of Jessica Alba, Lindsay Lohan, Heidi Montag, Hayden Panettiere, Mischa Barton, Cameron Diaz and Selena Gomez.

I'm about to go do some damage to my stick-straight, anorexically thin, baby fine, lifelessly limp, painfully long hair this weekend, and just in time, we received a fantastic tip via our "Tips" line from Styledasher Jodi!

When you are going to use a celebrity as an example for a hair color (or even style), turn the photo upside-down so you don't focus on the celebrity's face (which is presumably, all made up and gorgeous), and only on the hair color.

Brilliant!

But really, I actually was hoping that my stylist could magically make me look like Jessica Alba.

No matter who you ask, Jessica Alba and George Clooney are hot. So hot, in fact, that in addition to being voted Sexiest Man Alive and Sexiest Woman in the World by People and FHM magazines earlier this year, the uber-attractive Hollywood heartthrobs have most recently topped the Yahoo! Personals "Most Desired" list -- ranked by the sites millions of users as the celebrity they'd most like to shack up with.

On the heels of Mr. Clooney were Matthew McConaughey, Kanye West and Andy Roddick -- which all makes sense. But the list was rounded out by Ricky Martin, which makes me think that it wasn't just women who were voting on the male nominations.

Alba, who has been scientifically proven to have the world's most alluring figure, beat out Jennifer Aniston, Queen Latifah, Jessica Simpson, and Maria Sharapova.

So what do you think: are these really the hottest people in Hollywood? Who would you add to the list?

Thin is in.

But it's a shame dieting can be so boring and exercise, for the most part, is such a chore. However, fashion fan and skinny girl Jessica Alba might have found a way around the boredom. Alba, who apparently shuns diets and personal trainers, has taken up a Nintendo Wii workout.

Nintendo Wii is the must-have video game console that works up a sweat. (Yep, a gaming system that isn't associated with sitting on your behind wasting the day away.) Nintendo Wii isn't just for dudes either. With Wii tennis and Wii boxing you can burn about 560 calories per hour. Nintendo is even coming out with a new game called Wii Fit that will be just like having a personal trainer.

Gaming fitness is a bandwagon I can certainly jump on. Besides, if it's good enough for Jessica, it's good enough for me. Plus, look at her rocking those skinny jeans. Dare I say thin-spiration?

Interested? You can win a Wii on ThisNext, but there is only a few days left so act fast.
