You always expect the unexpected when it comes to Kathie Lee Gifford, but her antics on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon last night still managed to catch everyone off-guard. After downing some Chardonnay during their "wine pong" game, the inhibition-free Today host grabbed Jimmy and just went for it. Watch the kiss now!
In further celebrities-without-makeup news, Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford decided to do an entire makeup-free show this morning. They also got the rest of NBC's lady anchors and various viewers to go bare as well. Unsurprisingly, they were all totally gorgeous and had perfect skin. Still, though, it's nice to see a natural woman once in a while. I'm actually more impressed with this than with the recent Jessica Simpson shoot, because TV lights are notoriously unforgiving, and there's no picking out the "good" shots when you're sitting in front of an audience for several hours. Check it out for yourself:
It was all about the super sexy LBDs at last night's ball to benefit Gabrielle’s Angel Foundation at Cipriani, Wall Street in NYC. Blake Lively and Bar Refaeli both looked amazing and showed off some leg while in shape new mom Jennifer Hudson opted for matching black tights. Penn Badgley joined Blake for the fancy party after his movie, The Stepfather had a decent opening weekend at the box office. Blake's been especially busy recently traveling between Boston where she's filming Ben Affleck's The Town and her usual gig alongside her boyfriend Penn working on Gossip Girl in New York, but there's still time for red carpets for a good cause.

The star-studded VH1 Divas kicked off last night at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, and new diva-inductees like Jennifer Hudson, Jordin Sparks, Miley Cyrus, and Kelly Clarkson walked the red carpet in their glamorous gowns. Lauren Conrad and Whitney Port looked gorgeous and sparkly, and we'll have more on LC's possible LA Candy movie deal later. Miley weighed in on the Taylor/Kanye incident, calling him out as disrespectful. Kelly also had some things to say about it as well as the Paula/Ellen change on American Idol. Sam Trammell, who plays Sam Merlotte on True Blood, also told us he thinks his shape-shifter character could take on Taylor Lautner's Jacob — check out the interviews below!
Paula Abdul opened the night with a surprise performance and jokingly introduced the live show saying "I'm Paula Abdul and this is NOT American Idol." Later in the night she came out dressed as Ellen DeGeneres, dancing across the stage before saying "All kidding aside — [I have] nothing but love for Ellen, and I wish you the best of luck and congratulations on your new gig." There were many performances and duets to enjoy, like Jennifer Hudson and Stevie Wonder, as well as solos by all the divas like Jordin Sparks. Check out our interviews with Miley, Kelly, and Sam after the jump, and stay tuned for more from PopSugar Rush on the night's events!

Welcome to another Was She or Wasn't She a Former Beauty Queen? quiz. You really seemed to love learning about how some of the most famous faces in Hollywood got their big breaks in the biz, so I thought I'd bring you more fun as you near the end of the work day. Have fun!
Goddess of blogging Heather Armstrong chatted up her site Dooce with Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb on the Today show this morning.
Heather often writes about her daughter Leta in regards to everything from potty-training to Halloween costumes on the site. And Kathie Lee told the blogger that this worried her.
I thought it was an odd comment for a woman to make who is famous for carrying on about her son Cody on national television for years.
Does Kathie Lee live in a glass house and should she hold her stones?
