The stars of the Big Apple came out to show their philanthropic sides last night at the 9th Annual New Yorkers for Children Fall Gala at Cipriani 42nd Street in Manhattan. The gala raised money to benefit children in NYC foster care and also honored music executive Kevin Liles for his charitable work. Beyonce and Jay-Z mingled with guests and laughed while Jimmy Fallon took the stage. Blake Lively brought her sister Lori as her date and matched fellow Gossiper Taylor Momsen in purple, black, and gold. Robert Buckley, still handsome despite not his best hair, joined Kim Raver to represent Lipstick Jungle, which premieres online today.

Dakota Fanning and Robin Wright Penn were in NYC last night for the premiere of their film Hounddog, which is finally being released after screenings at Sundance in 2007. Kirsten Dunst isn't a member of the cast, but she still managed to take a night off from her sports fandom to attend the premiere. The movie includes Dakota's controversial rape scene, but the heavy subject matter seemed pretty far from her mind as she posed and smiled her grown up evening away.

George Clooney looked rugged and sexy even while taking a break from his motorcycle, to stop by a T-Mobile shop with a friend yesterday, presumably to give that BlackBerry in his hand a little TLC. George didn't look too pleased as he made his way back to the car, but who can really blame him? Now that his Summer on Lake Como has come to an end, George has to catch up on all the errands that piled up over the last few months — including taking care of his retro phone.

A dapper Shia LaBeouf kept his injured hand in his pocket leading the way at the premiere of Eagle Eye in LA last night. You all aren't huge fans of Megan Fox, but the sexy siren held her Transformers costar's hand as they walked down the red carpet. Shia's costars in the movie at hand last night, Michelle Monaghan and Billy Bob Thornton, looked beautiful and creepy respectively. It's good to see Shia out smiling again and hear him back on the interview circuit not shying away from talking about his crash and how lucky he is. The thriller hits theaters next week so we'll see whether viewers are ready to welcome him back as a leading man after his dramatic Summer.

Fresh from the LA premiere of My Best Friend's Girl, Kate Hudson was back in London last night at the National Magazine Company's 30 Days Of Fashion And Beauty party at the Natural History Museum. It was part of London Fashion Week, and on her arm was Stella McCartney as the friends posed for cameras and laughed their way into the party. Kate's been refreshingly rolling solo since her split with Lance Armstrong and she's not afraid to admit that even a gorgeous actress is discouraged after a breakup. Though yesterday on The Ellen DeGeneres show, the talk show host tried to use Kate as George Clooney bait (video after the jump) so that's certainly not too shabby.

Drew Barrymore kept an eye on things from behind the scenes on the set of her directorial debut Whip It in Austin in Monday as Ellen Page got a piggyback ride from a costar. Their project is carrying on despite Justin Long dropping out earlier this Summer when he was too sad about the split to work with his ex Drew though he seems fine consoling himself with Kirsten Dunst. Meanwhile it looks like Drew is pouring all her energy into her career — her production company recently acquired the rights to turn the book How to Be Single into a movie.
