The Ladies Go Bright, White, and Bold on the People's Choice Awards Red Carpet

It was a fun night on the People's Choice Awards red carpet in LA today.

It was a fun night on the People's Choice Awards red carpet in LA today. Stars brought the glamour in metallics, bold colors, and bright neutrals as they made their way into the show. Miley Cyrus showed off her glowing tan in a light yellow David Koma dress on the arm of boyfriend Liam Hemsworth, who has been busy with press for The Hunger Games this week. Winner Lea Michele went with a white Marchesa, and Jennifer Morrison followed suit in an Oscar de la Renta of the same hue. The evening's host, Kaley Cuoco, posed in a metallic Badgley Mischka gown while Julianne Hough, fresh off her St. Barts vacation, wore a sequined mini with an open back.

The evening wasn't all about neutrals though, since some ladies opted for bright color instead. How I Met Your Mother's Alyson Hannigan covered her baby bump in a short red Alice + Olivia number. Both Busy Philipps and nominee Jennifer Lawrence chose blue, with Busy in Carven and Jennifer rocking a daring Victor & Rolf. Nina Dobrev, who picked up the award for favorite TV drama actress, stood out in green Elie Saab.

Rounding out the red carpet fashion were a few ladies who went with black. Presenter Ashley Greene stepped out in a custom lace DKNY look and Pretty Little Liars actress Lucy Hale continued the sexy trend with a dramatic Cengiz Abazoglu outfit. Ellie Kemper was honored as part of the cast of Bridesmaids in a simple dark dress, while Vanessa Hudgens mixed things up in a Jenny Packham halter.

There was so much exciting red carpet fashion and beauty at this year's People's Choice Awards, so make sure to weigh in on your favorites with all of Fab and Bella's polls!

Alyson Hannigan is quite the lady in red, showing off her baby bump in a gorgeously beaded knee-length Alice + Olivia shift. With such a bright dress, it's not surprising that Alyson swept her fiery hair back. Still, though, can redheads ever wear same-color clothes successfully? Vote now and let us know.

Jason Segel and Alyson Hannigan Talk About the Future of How I Met Your Mother

CBS focused on its current shows during the Winter TCA, bringing out comedy How I Met Your Mother, which is currently in its seventh season.

CBS focused on its current shows during the Winter TCA, bringing out comedy How I Met Your Mother, which is currently in its seventh season. Jason Segel and Alyson Hannigan were the only actors present today, but they had plenty to say, along with series creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas. They talked about what's next for Marshall and Lily and their new little family, Robin's recent revelation, and the perennial question about when we'll meet the mother.

  • Though no one gave us anything concrete about the mother, Bays insisted, "we know what the end game of the series is." Segel piped up to say that he was "so relieved when I found out there was an actual plan," and then joked about it, implying that it might be the apocalypse before we find out: "We have to see if the Mayans are right! It might be Dec. 21, 2012."
  • Bays and Thomas answered the question of whether Marshall and Lily are really moving permanently to their suburban home by saying that we're all about to find out. Thomas said that we're "going to see them deal with that" in the next few episodes.
  • Fans weren't the only ones irritated with the show faking us out with Robin's kids. Hannigan recounted, "You should have seen us at the table read. I was like, season pass delete!" But she said she was angry because she cared so much.
  • On the show's evolution, Thomas mentioned that they couldn't have done storylines like Marshall losing his dad in season one or two. For his part on that arc, Segel said that "it was a real honor" to be given the chance to play out Marshall's grief, and echoed that "it's a real honor when people ask the best of you."

American Reunion Trailer: Finding New Ways to Humiliate Yourself in Front of Loved Ones

In American Reunion, the American Pie kids are all grown up with spouses and families, but they still find opportunities for sexy time — with themselves.

In American Reunion, the American Pie kids are all grown up with spouses and families, but they still find opportunities for sexy time — with themselves. In this teaser trailer, we get a very similar scene to the first film's unforgettable intro. Jim (Jason Biggs), now married to Michelle (Alyson Hannigan), seizes a few minutes to himself, and gets out his trusty tube sock (though with changing technology, his porn video has been upgraded to a laptop).

Since Jim no longer lives with his parents, be sure to wait and see just who gets scarred by his actions. This still doesn't give us a lot of plot, but rest assured: there will be masturbation. Watch it when you keep reading.

After Much Speculation, Alyson Hannigan's Pregnancy Turns Out to Be Too Much Chili

How I Met Your Mother actress Alyson Hannigan is not going to be a mother again — at least not yet.

How I Met Your Mother actress Alyson Hannigan is not going to be a mother again — at least not yet. Hannigan was photographed hitting the Malibu Chili Cook Off and carnival with husband Alexis Denisof and Satyana, their 2-year-old daughter, and her loose-fitting top made it appear like she was showing off a little baby bump (see photo here on UsWeekly.com). It prompted some pregnancy speculation over the weekend to which Alyson tweeted in response,

"NO, I'm not pregnant! I just ate too much carnival food, that time of the month, hurt my back & couldn't suck my gut in, & need 2 do cardio!"

Alyson was a great sport about it, saying, "I do look pregnant in that photo!" But it seems the media was quick to point a finger at her belly. Sometimes we indulge a little, take time off from exercise, and we end up with a little weight gain. It happens to the best of us, even celebs. Why Us Weekly might not call out your belly, I am curious . . .

Alyson Hannigan's Tips For the Perfect Mom's Night Out

Alyson Hannigan knows the value of a night off from mommy-duty.
1. Plan a Night Out at Least Every Two Weeks

Alyson Hannigan knows the value of a night off from mommy-duty. Though the mom of one — daughter Satyana, 2 — says her tot is a "love bug, (she) always wants to be in our arms," the actress makes taking a break from the terrible twos part of her regular routine. The How I Met Your Mother star sat down with me to discuss her latest project with StubHub to encourage moms to take a night off with their friends through a Mom's Night Out program.

According to the program's research, 83 percent of Americans think being a mom is the hardest job, but nearly two out of five mamas haven't had a night off in the past year. Through Mom's Night Out, Alyson and StubHub have designated select Summer events across the country as the perfect opportunity to gather friends together, hire a babysitter, and head out for the night. And if an evening without kids isn't enticing enough, a portion of proceeds from all ticket sales will be donated to Adopt-A-Classroom. Keep reading for Alyson's recipe for the perfect night out.
