Olivia wore a stunning black Gucci gown to pose for photos while her fiancé, Jason Sudeikis, bypassed the red carpet and headed straight into the event at the famed Chinese Theatre. Steve, meanwhile, posed with his wife, Nancy. Other celebrity attendees included magician David Copperfield, Melissa Joan Hart, and Steven Tyler.

The Hollywood debut comes just a few days after the cast flew out to Austin to screen the film at SXSW and less than 24 hours after Olivia Wilde's interview in Marie Claire came out. In the magazine feature, Olivia spoke about her relationship with Jason and her 2011 divorce from Italian aristocrat Tao Ruspoli. She said, "I'm so grateful for the pain and the heartbreak [from the divorce]. It gave me the courage to leave and brought me to the great love of my life."

Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard cuddled up in the stands and showed PDA with a kiss. The couple also chatted with friends, including Kristen's former Veronica Mars costars Enrico Colantoni and Max Greenfield, who was at the game with a few buddies. Steven Tyler and Alyssa Milano were also in the crowd to watch the win.

Kristen and Dax stepped out for the date night after an exciting weekend. Kristen had a baby shower in Los Feliz, which was attended by Rachel Bilson and her House of Lies costars Ben Schwartz and Josh Lawson. She covered her bump in a floral Isabella Oliver gown for the occasion, but on Monday she was all about showing off her growing belly. Kristen flashed her stomach during an outing with girlfriends and smiled as her pal snapped a picture.

Las Vegas got a megadose of star power during last night's iHeartRadio Music Festival. Rihanna, No Doubt, and Lil Wayne kept the crowd on their feet during the first night of the iHeartRadio Music Festival, and last night, Taylor Swift, Pink, Enrique Iglesias, and more were given the same task. The evening got started with a high-energy set from Pink, who performed acrobatic stunts and belted out hits like "Raise Your Glass," "Just Like a Pill," and her latest single, "Blow Me (One Last Kiss)."

Taylor Swift brought an element of sparkle to the show, stepping out in a sequin top and later changing into an equally glittery dress. She sang her chart-topping hit "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" and broke out her guitar for fan favorites "You Belong With Me" and "Mean." There were also a ton of surprises sprinkled throughout the four-hour block of music. The Vampire Diaries stars Nina Dobrev introduced Taylor while Prince joined Mary J. Blige for a duet. Country star Brad Paisley, rapper Pitbull, and Aerosmith also joined in the fun and put on wild shows for the crowd.

American Idol: 5 Reasons I'll Miss Steven Tyler

I've been cryin' ever since yesterday when I heard Steven Tyler would be relinquishing his judge's throne on American Idol.

I've been cryin' ever since yesterday when I heard Steven Tyler would be relinquishing his judge's throne on American Idol. His announcement preempted fellow judge Jennifer Lopez's official word that she will also be leaving the show. And just like that, a regime has fallen. Though J Lo was a welcome addition to Idol, I was surprised at how Tyler quickly became my favorite judge when he joined the panel two years ago. I respect his decision to move on but that doesn't mean I have to like it. I've been pondering what made the Aerosmith front man such a fit for the show, and here's what I came up with.

  1. He's got a killer sense of style. Fedoras, boas, snakeskin anything — Steven Tyler knows his way around a wardrobe. You ever see Simon Cowell wear an earring tasseled with multicolored feathers? I thought not.
  2. He's unfiltered. Remember last season when he weighed the similarities between the "hot, humid, and happening" weather and 17-year-old Shannon Magrane — in front of her dad? Cameras or no cameras, Tyler said what was on his mind. We got to see a lot of that on the blooper reels of the many, many times producers had to bleep him and the many, many times he hit on the contestants. This brings me to my next point . . .
  3. He loves the ladies. He's always the first one to tell a girl she looks smokin', and who doesn't love to hear that from a rock star who has made beautiful women around the world weak in the knees? His insistence on flattering every female contestant was one of my favorite parts about the show, and I'm not sure why, but coming from him, it just didn't seem creepy at all.
  4. He was interactive with the contestants. Maybe I'm having a mental blank spot, but I don't remember ex-judges Ellen DeGeneres or Kara DioGuardi get up on stage to sing with a fan or go in for an impromptu slow dance with a contestant. Tyler seemed like he never tired of hitting high notes with competitors who were auditioning with Aerosmith tunes, and his humility was endearing.
  5. He seemed like he really cares. Jennifer may have been infamous for sympathizing with contestants, but it was the level-headed Tyler that seemed like a big mush when people got voted out. He was the sage protector and I'm having trouble imagining another judge filling that role.

What are you going to miss most about Steven? Let me know below, cause I don't wanna miss a thing.

Steven Tyler Leaves American Idol

Oh, the sweet emotion!


Oh, the sweet emotion! After two seasons keeping us very entertained every week on American Idol, Steven Tyler has decided to step down from the judges panel. The Aerosmith frontman says he will be spending more time focusing on his music career, commenting, "It's time to bring rock back." Aerosmith is due to drop its next album, Music From Another Dimension, on Nov. 6.

I have to say, folks, I did not see this coming. Jennifer Lopez has been public about her indecision to return for the show's 12th season, but never did I think Tyler was wavering. Is it too soon to offer our suggestions to replace him? Yes? My bad. We'll miss you, Steven.

Phillip Phillips Is America's New Idol

American Idol closed out its 11th season in LA tonight and crowned Phillip Phillips the winner!

American Idol closed out its 11th season in LA tonight and crowned Phillip Phillips the winner! The two-hour season finale brought out some of music's biggest stars like Rihanna, Chaka Khan, John Fogerty, and Dream Girls legend Jennifer Holliday, who joined finalist Jessica Sanchez on stage for an unforgettable duet of "And I'm Telling You." The judges also got in on the action. Steven Tyler and Aerosmith performed a medley of songs while Jennifer Lopez flashed her abs in a studded bra and got the crowd on their feet with her latest dance track, "Follow the Leader." The evening was packed with exciting moments, including a marriage proposal. Former contestant Ace Young got down on one knee and popped the question to girlfriend, and Idol's season three runner-up, Diana DeGarmo.

Following the results and Phillips's emotional performance of his first single, "Home," he headed backstage to chat with press about his long road to tonight's finale, and how he's processing the win. Phillip said of his big win, "It's so unreal . . . it hasn't sunk in yet, it's just such a blessing to have." Phillip was humble talking about his own success, but Jessica was quick to compliment her competitor, saying, "When they announced it was Phillip I was so happy. I love him so much; he deserved it. He's been having to keep up with his health issues; he's been through a lot more than us, both mentally and physically." Season 11 was full of excitement for the contestants and the judges. However, we'll have to wait and see if J Lo returns for season 12.

American Idol Gets Ready to Crown a Winner and to Possibly Say Goodbye to Jennifer Lopez

American Idol finalists Jessica Sanchez and Phillip Phillips went out on a high note last night, with each hopeful singing their heart out for the judges, studio audience, and fans watching at home.

American Idol finalists Jessica Sanchez and Phillip Phillips went out on a high note last night, with each hopeful singing their heart out for the judges, studio audience, and fans watching at home. Each contestant performed three songs, one chosen by the show's producer, Simon Fuller; one of their choice; and an original single they'll release should they win. Jessica kicked things off by belting out Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing" followed by Celine Dion's "The Prayer," and she took her final turn on Idol singing her potential single, "Change Nothing." Phillip, who won the coin toss and chose to perform last, began his night with Ben E. King's "Stand by Me," followed it up with Billy Joel's "Movin' Out," and closed the show with his coronation song, "Home."

All eyes were on the finalists. However, Jennifer Lopez stole a moment of the spotlight in a sexy, asymmetrical see-through bodysuit. Jen will be back on the stage again tonight to perform her latest track, "Follow the Leader." It could be J Lo's final curtain call, as her future on the show is still undecided. Season 10 winner Scotty McCreery briefly spoke about J Lo's rumored departure from Idol, saying, "I'd hate to see her go. Whatever happens happens. She's got a lot going for her, so she'll be fine."

In addition to her Idol judging duties, Jennifer has What to Expect When You're Expecting out May 18. We chatted with Jennifer at the film's LA junket, where she opened up about her own pregnancy and talked about her upcoming music tour — stay tuned for more from our exclusive chat! Jen's hitting the road this Summer with Enrique Iglesias as well as Casper. She's been perfecting her choreography with Casper's help, and fans will see the fruits of their labor when the tour kicks off in Panama on June 14.

There are only two weeks left until American Idol's season 11 winner is crowned, and the four remaining hopefuls took the stage last night. J Lo, Randy Jackson, and Steven Tyler joined Ryan Seacrest, who had a special guest, girlfriend Julianne Hough, in the audience. Julianne and her Rock of Ages director Adam Shankman went onstage with Ryan mid-show to talk about their upcoming movie. Ryan, though, decided to have a little fun with Julianne. Ryan pretended to propose by reaching into his pocket! Instead of pulling out a ring, Ryan produced a piece of paper. He said, "It's a question I've been meaning to ask you and I don't want you to feel uncomfortable. Will you. . . give this note I wrote to Tom Cruise? I'm such a big fan."
