Held to recognize and celebrate teens who are agents of change in their communities, the stars of Hollywood gathered together to tape the 2011 TeenNick HALO Awards at the Hollywood Palladium on Wednesday night (October 26).
Conceived, hosted and executive produced by Nick Cannon, this year's ceremony featured the presentation of four unique stories deeply relevant and important to teens with special stage appearances by celebrities including Heidi Klum, Victoria Justice, Stephen Moyer and Serena Williams.
With musical performances offered up by Jason Derulo and Mary J Blige, the night saw Wilmer Walderrama, Kris Allen, Ariana Grande, Elizabeth Gillies and Ariel Winter among the other Tinseltown attendees partaking in the commendable showcase.
Honored during the pre-taped festivities were James O’Dwyer, Emily-Anne Rigal, Shanoah Washington and Kyle Weiss, who all were awarded a grant for their organization, scholarship funds and a trip to meet one of the four Celebrity Guests - with the big names lined up this year being David Beckham, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga and Jessica Biel.
Of the show - which airs Sunday, November 6th at 9PM ET on Nick at Night, Cannon told, “This generation of young people gives so much and now it’s time to give back to them. These are ordinary teens doing extraordinary things and I’m so proud to honor this year’s TeenNick HALO Award honorees for their heroic efforts and unyielding commitment to helping others.”
Grabbing a front row seat while enjoying a night of runway action, Lauren Conrad was among the stars turning up for The 2nd Annual Autumn Party in West Hollywood on Wednesday night (October 26).
Held at The London Hotel, the former "Hills" star watched on as models strutted their stuff during a fashion show by Yigal Azrouel which was held in benefit of the Children's Institute.
Miss Conrad's evening on the town comes just as she announced plans to release a fourth novel on April 3, 2012 called “The Fame Game”.
Of the latest literary work, LC shared, "The tone is going to be slightly darker. The first book was written through the eyes of someone who had never been to Hollywood before, who never really aspired toward fame or money. This series is about a girl who loves everything that fame is, and that's all she's ever really wanted."
He’s the object of adoration for many women, and David Gandy is looking hot in his new Details November 2011 cover issue photo shoot.
But despite his widespread appeal, the English model says he has a hard time finding satisfaction in his appearance.
Gandy confessed, “I don't particularly like much of my body. I'm very critical of myself. I think I'm pretty much a perfectionist in anything I do so I'm never going to be happy. I'm not saying it's a good thing, believe me.”
“People can criticize me and try to being me down but I tell them, 'You can't be as hard on me as I am on myself, so don't even try.’”
He added, “I'm not just a model now. We have gone beyond that. There are better-looking guys than me, there are more intelligent guys than me, but they seem to have accepted the level that they got to and then said, 'That's it.' And I've always queried that and asked why? Why can't you go beyond that? And, well, here we are now. We're doing it.”
Even high-rolling Hollywood stars must obey federal regulations, and Eva Longoria was spotted going through the full body scan at the TSA security checkpoint at LAX on Wednesday (October 26).
Clad in a mostly black ensemble, the pint-sized “Desperate Housewives” star ditched her jacket and shoes, but kept her shades on when asked to head in for the scan.
Expanding her international appeal, Freida Pinto is featured on the cover of California Style's November 2011 issue.
The “Immortals” babe looks super sexy in her photo spread, showing off her posing prowess in several different ensembles.
And though she was born in Mumbai, Freida admitted in her interview that she’s not really sure where her home is these days.
“I have no idea where I came from. Today someone asked me where I live and I was like, ‘I haven’t had a place in two years.’”
Getting on with the daily grind, the always-busy Shakira was spotted out and about in Madrid, Spain earlier today (October 26).
Changing outfits as she went about her business, the "Hips Don't Lie" songstress first stepped out in a casual leopard print top and jeans before swapping those duds for a gray sweater, snakeskin bag and peach skirt.
Meanwhile, the Colombian-born beauty will soon be honored for her artistic input, as well as for her philanthropic deeds around the world.
Becoming the youngest person to claim the award, Shakira will be celebrated as the 2011 Latin Recording Academy Person of the Year during a tribute to take place in Las Vegas next month.
