The Obamas Celebrate Christmas Washington Style With Psy, Diana Ross, and More!

Yesterday, the first family continued their holiday celebrations by attending the charity concert "Christmas in Washington."

Yesterday, the first family continued their holiday celebrations by attending the charity concert "Christmas in Washington." President Barack Obama was joined by wife Michelle Obama and daughters Sasha and Malia at the seasonal spectacle, which benefits the Children's National Medical Center. Vice President Joe Biden was also in attendance, bringing along his granddaughters. Conan O'Brien hosted the all-star event, which featured performances from a diverse group of musicians including Diana Ross, Smash's Megan Hilty, The Voice's Chris Mann, American Idol winner Scotty McCreery, Demi Lovato, and Psy.

The South Korean "Gangnam Style" star's participation was controversial, considering news of his 2004 anti-American performance made headlines late last week. But Psy apologized and was allowed to perform. Despite the controversy, the performers and first family were all smiles at the concert. Get in the holiday spirit with photos from "Christmas in Washington," and tune in to TNT Dec. 21 to watch the concert!

Some stars' past Academy Award beauty looks weren't the best we've ever seen, but a peek back into the red carpet vault proves that there were many who got it right.
Gorgeous Vintage Beauty Looks From Past Oscars

Some stars' past Academy Award beauty looks weren't the best we've ever seen, but a peek back into the red carpet vault proves that there were many who got it right. Sure, poodle perms, frosted shadows, and brick red lipstick might look strange or dated to us now, but they at one point constituted what was hot at the time. Here are 40 stars who stood out with their memorable makeup and hairstyles at the Oscars (and Governors Ball) from way back when.

Countdown to a Fabulous New Year's! '70s Diva

Only 11 days until New Year's Eve!

Only 11 days until New Year's Eve!


Diana Ross was a pro at making a stylish splash on stage, and during the '70s and '80s, she rocketed to solo stardom and brought her ultraglam looks out on the town to tons of parties and events. Her iconic style is dazzling and dramatic, yet easy to echo. If you're looking to push your New Year's ensemble to the max this year, go all the way in a fringed maxidress, or a chic fringed statement jacket. Channel the diva Diana with giant hoop earrings and a cocktail ring, and remember: a look this glam calls for extra-high heels, so slip on a pair of sparkly platforms and get ready to hit the floor.

Whose Costume Is More Outrageous — Diana "Bird" Ross or Lady "Snowflake" Gaga?

Both Diana Ross and Lady Gaga are on tour right now.

Both Diana Ross and Lady Gaga are on tour right now. And both recently performed in larger-than-life stage costumes. Diana stepped onto the Nokia Theatre stage in LA wearing a neon yellow Big Bird-like, floor-length feather coat. Big hair, big costume, big is her thing. Lady Gaga belted out her tunes in Birmingham, England, wearing a huge snowflake-inspired piece. We've come to expect outrageous pieces from Gaga. Miss Ross? Not lately. Take a good gander at both, then tell me, whose latest costume is more outrageous?

You might not be able to afford Marc Jacobs anymore but don't blame the little girl sitting across from you on the bus. Designer clothing for children--thanks to Phillip Lim Kids, Little Ella Moss, and Little Marc Jacobs--is a growing market indeed

Editors, buyers, and rich foreign women passing on the couture shows is like a smoker choosing a piece of cantaloupe over a cigarette. Healthy as it might be, it just doesn't seem right.

Prada "renovates" and proves to New York that the UES doesn't need all that Rem Koolhaus glitz and glam to sell handbags. Racked gets the inside shots

FABTV: Diana Ross Featuring Michael Jackson, "Upside Down"

There are too many performers I either missed or still have yet to witness live.

There are too many performers I either missed or still have yet to witness live. Jimi Hendrix, Elvis, and Nirvana are amongst the ones I will never see because, well, they are no longer. Led Zeppelin, Bjork, and Diana Ross are still on my list. Oh, Diana. Such a Fab diva. I love this quickie performance she did, with a fun Michael Jackson cameo at the end. From her sexy white Halston-esque dress (I've heard rumors it's Halston?) to the round white stage, it's all so very . . . disco chic. Diana's got the voice and the moves; my favorite is at the very beginning when she throws her head down then back up and begins to shimmy. Upside down, boy you turn me, inside out, and round and round . . .

Iron Man Brings Its Happy and Hot Cast to NYC

Michael Kors and the Cinema Society helped bring Iron Man to NYC last night. Gwyneth has been loving her tiny dresses and sexy photoshoots these days, and this brought it to a new level — yowza, but she looks great. Cannot blame her for l-o-v-i-n-g her legs alongside all her costars and some New York friends. On the red carpet, Gwyneth talked about a possible sequel, "I [am] so happy people are loving it, and getting so excited about it, but the truth is that the experience was so wonderful, and such a happy, happy time. That’s really why I’m so happy that I did it...The idea that there could be another one, and we could get our little family back together — it would be great." From the thrilling action scenes to bringing out the inner geek in all of us (you know it), we can't wait for Iron Man to finally hit theaters this Friday!

Kennedy Honors One Wild and Crazy Guy Among Others

Last night celebs headed to DC to celebrate five stars from different areas of the entertainment industry with Kennedy Center Honors. Cameron Diaz looked fabulous in her funky strapless dress to present Martin Scorsese with an award for his directorial work. Jordin Sparks (is it just us or is she already looking thinner?) and Vanessa Williams were in the house to pay homage to honoree Diana Ross by performing her songs, while musicians Brian Wilson and Steve Fleischer also walked away with medals around their necks. Steve Carell honored one of our favorite funny men Steve Martin and of course threw in a few of his own jokes, saying, "His act was that of an idiot savant, minus the savant. He's a national treasure in the loosest sense of the term."

We've definitely been missing Steve Carell on The Office, but we're glad that we're still getting a dose of his humor during the show's hiatus. Lots more pics including Aretha Franklin, Martin Short, and Ciara so just read more

Gossip Girls Love Their Tiffanys

The PYTs from Gossip Girl are really taking advantage of their newfound fame and open invitation to fancy parties.

The PYTs from Gossip Girl are really taking advantage of their newfound fame and open invitation to fancy parties. Blake and Leighton (S and B, respectively) were at Saturday night's launch of Tiffany's 2008 Blue Book Collection at the Museum of Natural History in NYC. Something about Leighton looks different (older), but obviously these girls look adorable in any dress and especially great up against that Tiffany blue. Also at the soirée was Jennifer Hudson who dressed metallic like the jewelry they were there to celebrate. Speaking of that, you think those big red (black) carpet smiles are because the ladies know they were about to score a goody bag from the new line?
