Memorial Day is on Monday, and the holiday is not just for barbecues and picnics, but also a time to honor the men and women who have served our country. Many of our favorite stars have a special tie to the day, since they grew up with a parent who served. Jessica Alba's father was in the US Air Force, while Christina Aguilera hails from an Army family. Reese Witherspoon is the daughter of a lieutenant colonel from the US Army Reserve, and Bruce Willis is the son of a former US soldier as well. In honor of the day of remembrance, we are taking a look at all the stars who come from military families.

Baby's Debut: Celebrity Tots' First Official Photos
For a long time running, it seemed People had a monopoly on introductory celebaby photos. Nicole Richie, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez, and the Jolie-Pitts all turned to the well-established magazine to show off their newest family members. However, today, many celebs are turning to competitors who are doling out generous offerings to new parents. Others are releasing their own photos — either on their own or through photo agencies — to bypass the whole magazine scenario. See how your favorite Tinseltown parents — Malin Akerman being the most recent — debuted their little ones, and tell us how you think the newest Hollywood babies will be introduced to us!
Justin, Jessica, and Jimmy Bring the Party to the Time 100 Gala
Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon kept the party going at the Time 100 Gala in NYC last night. The two friends, who were named two of the magazine's 100 most influential people in the world this year, were joined by Justin's wife, a Tom Ford-clad Jessica Biel, and a Lanvin-wearing Claire Danes. Also out were honorees Lena Dunham and Vice President Joe Biden, who took the chance to work the room of Hollywood stars. Other guests included Amy Poehler, Steven Spielberg, Daniel Day-Lewis, and Christina Aguilera, who performed at the event and hobnobbed with Lena on the red carpet.
Inside the bash, the stars wasted no time celebrating the honorees. Justin and Jimmy danced around the room and goofed off with Amy and musician Frank Ocean. Lena commented on getting on the Time 100 list, saying that the first person she told about being on the list was her father. She said, "I called my dad because he was a layout editor at Time in the 1970s, so I was super psyched, and I wanted to tell him that I was making good in his former institution. I heard there was a drinks cart when he worked there." Meanwhile, Daniel, who picked up the best actor award at this year's Oscars, commented that he is "more than mildly astonished" that he landed on the list.

Jay-Z and Coldplay Ring In 2013 With Gwyneth and Celebrity Friends
Jay-Z and Coldplay rang in 2013 together with a joint New Year's Eve concert at Brooklyn's Barclays Center on Monday night. Coldplay played the first set while Jay-Z took the stage shortly before midnight. Jay-Z and Chris Martin joined up for the countdown and to sing "Auld Lang Syne." Once Chris was finished belting out the New Year's staple, he flowed into Jay-Z's "Run This Town," filling in for Rihanna's chorus. While Jay-Z and Chris were rocking, Chris's wife, Gwyneth Paltrow, and their children, Apple and Moses, danced on stage. They weren't the only celebrities in the audience since Jake Gyllenhaal was spotted chatting with Jay-Z backstage and Christina Aguilera and her boyfriend, Matt Rutler, were also on hand. Once the concert was over, Chris and Jay-Z headed to the 40/40 Club for an afterparty without Gwyneth, who headed home with Apple and Moses.

Who Had the Best Bob at the American Music Awards?

A few typically long-haired starlets decided to do something different for the American Music Awards this year. Brandy, Christina Aguilera, and Kerry Washington all wore shorter-than-usual strands on the red carpet. Brandy's waist-grazing lengths were folded under into a wavy faux bob that pulled together her '20s-inspired ensemble. Christina sidestepped her dip-dyed hair for a shorter and straighter bob (a wig, perhaps), and Kerry Washington went for a cropped and tucked curly bob. But of all these temporary haircuts, which one made a lasting impression?
Christina Aguilera Test-Drives a Short, Cropped 'Do

She's been the queen of hair changes lately, but Christina Aguilera surprised everyone at the American Music Awards when she showed up with a surprisingly short hairstyle. Going back to full-on blond, the singer walked the red carpet wearing blunt bangs and shoulder-grazing strands. Her new coif looked even more chic paired with matchy-matchy purple shadow and heavily contoured cheeks. Do you think Christina should stick to this look for a while, or should she send it packing?
Trend Alert: The One-Side-Only French Braid

Braids have been one of the hottest hairstyles for years, no matter the season. But more and more, celebrities have been stepping out sporting a new take on the style: one side of the hair French-braided flat against the head, with the rest of the hair hanging free or in a ponytail. Jessica Alba aced this look a few weeks back when she wore a sleek braid cascading into a ponytail. More recently, Heidi Klum and Christina Aguilera both did their own interpretations of the one-sided plait. It's a flirty look that's easy to pull off. Just French-braid one side of the hair and style the rest. How easy is that?
