Q: Where can you find Kirsten Dunst, Rachel Bilson, and Zooey Deschanel all hanging out in LA?
A: Milk, a hot new boutique founded by pals Bari Milken and Marni Flans, that is frequented by all of the best-dressed young Hollywood stars. And for a very good reason! Buyer Ilaria Urbinati has packed the store with some of the coolest young designers in the world, including her sister Giulia Persanti’s line, already snagged by Mischa Barton. If you can’t make it in to see what Mandy Moore or Molly Sims are buying this week, you can check out the latest styles from your home at their great website. You can snag a pair of Raven jeans like Renee Zellweger did recently, or follow Nicky Hilton’s lead and grab a dress by Stretsis (a Milk exclusive). So now the only question is. . .Got Milk?

We all know that Jessica Alba has an amazing body — just think about her bikini in Into the Blue and her sexy Versace at last year’s Oscars. But just like the rest of us, she likes a little bit of help smoothing out and sucking in all the wobbly parts, and her mysterious nude leggings (at left) give her secret away — Spanx! In fact, Jessica admits, “I wore SPANX under my Fantastic Four costume. I love them! Spanx are the only thing that smoothes out all of my lumps and bumps.” So, yesterday, she paired her delicate sundress with their nude Footless Tights, which can take an entire clothing size off the lower body! She’s also ordered the leggings in every color they come in, so expect to see a lot more of Jessica and her Spanx this fall.

My first Emmys and all I can say is thank god I listened to veteran PEOPLE reporter Marisa Laudadio who insisted I bring a pair of ballet slippers with me to the awards!  I was planning to wear my 4 1/2 inch YSL pumps ($495, but bought on sale in Honolulu, but you can check eBay). But when our driver got to the Shrine Auditorium, he realized he didn’t have the right parking pass to get us to the entrance. With only 15 minutes to make it to our seats, our only hope was to sprint OVER A MILE to the theater. So I whipped out the ballet flats (luvmyflats gold leather ballet shoes from Nine West for $49) and started booking down broken sidewalks and Hardee’s parking lots. My Versani 18k gold and diamond earrings ($1,800 loaners—thanks guys!) and my $99 black Andalousy Satellite Paris necklace and $120 Jeanne Nicole lariat were flying everywhere. But thanks to my rubber-soled luvmyflats and my stretch taffeta frock ($410, Nicole Miller), the toughest thing about that mad Emmy dash was trying to breath through fits of hysterical laughter while hauling some serious ass. — Anne Marie Cruz

Today is the newly brunette Cameron Diaz’s 34th Birthday! Some stars you have loved for so long, you feel as though you know them. So, we have a few ideas on what we would give Cameron for her birthday if, you know, we were actually friends with her. Justin — feel free to take the credit on any of these.

Here are our picks for the birthday girl:

1. August’s birthstone is Peridot, so how about these vintage style earrings? The delicate white gold would stand out against her dark locks.

2. For the next time she goes Trippin’, she can use this adorable new passport holder and these super bright luggage tags.

3. If she misses Justin while he’s off promoting his new album, she can watch his videos on this video iPod and text him on her Sidekick.

4. Dyed hair needs special care, so Cameron should switch to Aveda Color Conserve Shampoo and Conditioner. And with her new dark hair color, she can make her baby blues stand out even more with this Urban Decay liquid liner and Tarte’s Smokey Eye Palette.
