The lush green background made the dresses stand out at last night's CDFA/Vogue Fashion Fund event in NYC, where Alexander Wang took home the prize; check out all the other winners here. Anna Wintour, who may be considering retirement, hosted some of Manhattan's pretty young things at the soiree. Blake Lively and Penn Badgley traveled as a duo as usual, though they never pose together. The dress was a break from the norm for Blake who also showed off some new looks on last night's Gossip Girl Thanksgiving. Skipping TV night along with the Gossip Girl stars were Charlize Theron and Piper Perabo, who looked fantastic in the cool November night — check out love it or hate it polls on all the looks now.

Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer went out for a romantic dinner at the Sunset Towers last night, but they weren't the only celebrity couple dining at the newest hotspot. The on-again couple ran into Nicole Richie out with Joel Madden and the foursome quickly started chatting it up. Jennifer sat down right across from Nicole and the girls were seen having an animated conversation while the boys hung out. Oh to be a fly on the wall for that conversation — how fun. There's always room for new celebrity couple friends and who knows, maybe Nicole and Joel will earn an invite to the next star-studded house party.

Nicole Kidman had two handsome Aussies by her side at the premiere of Australia in Sydney today. Costar Hugh Jackman posed with the actress for a photo call before they hit the red carpet at the Musem of Contemporary Art. While Keith was there for moral support, Nicole talked about how hard it was to leave baby Sunday back in Nashville. It sounds like being a mom again is having a pretty big effect on Nicole, who also mentioned that she'd consider giving up acting to continue expanding her family. She said, "In terms of my future as an actor and stuff, I don't know. I mean, I'm in a place in my life where I've had some great opportunities – but I may just choose to have some more children." It's hard to imagine Nicole just stepping out of the spotlight, and with a handful of new projects already in the works, we don't imagine it will happen anytime soon.

Jessica Simpson had a girls' night out at Katsuya in LA yesterday where she showed off her pouty lips and waved to the cameras. The older sister is excited to become an aunt, and after Ashlee's false alarm this weekend, she doesn't have too much longer to wait. In an episode of Ellen airing tomorrow, Jess reveals personal details about her sister's pregnancy and, of course, talks about Tony. Here are some highlights:

• On Ashlee's labor: "[She's trying] different foot massages and stuff, I don't know. I think she's really just jumping around trying everything right now. They're going to have to [induce labor] — it's already developing really quick."
• On the sex of the baby: "I can't say because they haven't said. I'll stick my foot in my mouth and get in trouble and I won't be a good aunt."
• On Tony: "[To be a Dallas Cowboys quarterback] there's a requirement. Like, you have to be good looking. [. . .] Being out there and demanding and commanding that field — that's pretty sexy. But it's nice when you have the whole package. [We're] really a lot alike. I'm just more into fashion than he is."

The Simpson family loves to talk about each other, so no surprise that Jess over shared a bit about Ashlee's labor plans. At least Jess is just showing how excited and eager she is to welcome the new Simpson-Wentz, whether it's a boy or a girl.
