'This Is It' NYC Premiere Red Carpet

The world is all a-flutter today, what with the Michael Jackson movie, This Is It, premiering in multiple cities across the globe.

Earlier in the day, we took in the red carpet from the Los Angeles premiere and here are some of distinguished attendees, including director, Gayle King and, my personal favorite, publishing impresario, Coco.

Critical reviews are praising the behind-the-scenes look at the choreography and preparation for Jackson's tour 50 concert series at the London's O2 Arena, while lamenting that Jackson never seems to let his guard down around the cameras to reveal a more in-depth look into his personal life.

Gallery Info: Rosie Perez, Ice T, Coco, Michael Urie, Sebastian Stan, Tamara Tunie, Julie Henderson, Russell Simmons, Nikki Blonsky, Carol Alt, Lauren Bush, Sherri Shepard, Nigel Barker, Dreama Walker, Spike Lee, Gayle King, Orianthi and Nile Rodgers at the NYC premiere of This Is It.

Blake Lively's Spotty Chest: New Fashion Trend?

Golden girl, Blake Lively, rarely steps out of the house looking anything less than picture perfect. So it was a shock to see the Gossip Girl star revealing some tell-tale splotches on her chest when she bared her decolletage in a low-cut top at the 2009 Angel Ball. But then again, if that's her biggest flaw, the girl should count herself as lucky.

Her real-life boyfriend and Gossip Girl co-star, Penn Badgley, recently admitted to Men's Health that maintaining their romance has been a balancing act. The actor admits, "Having a relationship with someone you work with might not always be the smartest move. But it's been wonderful to be in a relationship where we can both identify with what the other is experiencing."

It seems that black was the color of choice for the evening with Bar Rafaeli and Jennifer Hudson also decked out in the most slimming of colors.

Gallery Info: Blake Lively, Penn Badgley, Bar Refaeli, Jennifer Hudson, Sherri Shepherd, Denise Rich, Patricia Field, Julie Henderson, Natalie Cole, Hoda Kotb, Kathie Lee Gifford, Russell Simmons, Star Jones, Robin Thicke, Howard Stern, Beth Ostrosky, Paula Patton, Estelle and Ivana Trump at the 2009 Angel Ball.

Charlotte Ronson Show Attracts Young Starlets, But No Lohan

Quite a number of famous young faces were present in the front row of the Charlotte Ronson Spring 2010 Fashion Show during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York City.

Not to be outdone by the Gossip Girl contingency at Fashion Week, 90210 star Jessica Stroup was front and center at the event with a big smile on her face.

As for the musical end of things, Keri Hilson and Russell Simmons were seen chatting it up, as well as rubbing elbows with fellow attendees Nicky Hilton and Kirsten Dunst.

One freckled face noticeably absent from the crowd was Lindsay Lohan's. It seems that her recent rant on her Twitter page hasn't been opening any doors for a reconciliation, believe it or not.

Gallery Info: Samantha Ronson, Kirsten Dunst, Keri Hilson, Russell Simmons, Nicky Hilton, Jessica Stroup, Charlotte Ronson and Mark Ronson at the Charlotte Ronson Runway and Backstage party for the Spring 2010 collection at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.

Kimora Lee Simmons Gets Phat Cash For Child Support

Just one month after finalizing her drawn-out divorce from Russell Simmons, mom Kimora Lee Simmons has tied up all the other loose ends. Namely, the fabulous part: money!

Yesterday a judge ruled that her ex-hubby must shell out $40,000 a month in child support for 9-year-old Ming Lee and 6-year-old Aoki Lee, who Kimora already has sole custody of.

This won't put much of a dent in Russell's $325 million, but it should make things nice for kind-of-fiance Djimon Honsou and that baby they're expecting together. So far, Russell isn't even trying to weasel his way out of responsibility - I guess he must really love those girls.

So what if he identifies them in his cell phone with nicknames like "daddy's first born" and "cute second daughter."

Tyler Perry Leads NAACP Image Awards Men

Look at the sea of tuxedos. What is it about a man in a suit that hits the mark every time? I'm not sure, but although Tyler Perry knew better than to try and compete with his co-host for last night's NAACP Image Awards Halle Berry for most costume changes and kept his ensemble simple. Decked out in all black, Perry left the Madea costume at home and instead kept it sleek and sophisticated.

Looking dapper were all of the usually well-dressed suspects: Will Smith, Sean Combs and Al Gore. OK, so Al isn't exactly a red carpet regular at entertainment events, but he looks like he probably sleeps in a suit, so that's worth pointing out.

Of course, if anyone is going to deviate from the traditional black and white suit and tie combo, it's going to be the music industry peeps. Will.i.am was rocking a retro look in his light-colored suit, hat and Elvis Costello glasses and tennis shoes. And Russell Simmons put a twist on his traditional suit by sporting his Yankees ball cap and his Adidas.

Featured in the gallery: Seal, Will Smith, Sean Combs, James Pickens Jr., Louis Gossett Jr., Hill Harper, william, Russell Simmons, Danny Glover, Nate Parker, Ben Vereen, Tyler James Williams, Tyler Perry, Blair Underwood, Cornelius Smith Jr, Terry Crews, Al Gore, Jonathan Julian, Ben Vereen.

Celebrities Have Begun Taking Over Park City, Utah

It's day three of the 25th Sundance Film Festival, and other than Mariah Carey, the celebrity wattage at Sundance has been pretty dim so far. I'll give 50 Cent, Michael Cera and even Dominic Monaghan props, but Cuba Gooding Jr., Stephen Baldwin, Kevin Sorbo, Brett Ratner, John Cleese, Russell Simmons and Christie Brinkley is not the star wattage I'm used to seeing at the Sundance Film Festival. It's only a matter of time though, that the A-Listers start to role in to Park City, Utah.

Brace yourselves for all of the Sundance coverage that will be coming your way.

Russell Simmons Has Charming Nicknames For Ladies In His Cell

Russell Simmons, our favorite limber, breast cancer exam extraordinaire, has so many ladies he gives them nifty, little nicknames in his cell phone to keep them all straight.

Some annoying New Yorker was still weepy-eyed over the Giants loss to the Eagles over the weekend, and told Russell it was "shameful" to wear a New York Yankees hat in public.

Logically, Russell tried to explain the Yankees are baseball -- not football -- but to no avail, and ended up taking off the hat.

Someone sitting next to Russell (who couldn't keep their eyes to themselves) then saw him text message to women under the names: "[Redacted] Young Funny" and "[Redacted] African Educated."

Hm. Wonder what his memory jogger is for Kimora Lee? Gargantuan Annoying? Giant Velour Embellishment?

View a gallery of limber Russell Simmons at the 9th Annual Youth Holiday Party here!
