What is That Ring On Cameron Diaz’s Finger?

Cameron Diaz has been spotted wearing something very shiny around town on her left hand ring finger, sparking rumors of an engagement with her singer/designer boyfriend, Justin Timberlake. But, Cameron’s sparkler is actually nothing new — she’s been seen wearing it quite a few times in the past. We did some investigating and tracked it down: It’s a three-band, three-colored-gold ring from Cartier that’s been in the jeweler’s collection since 1924. We’re not sure how long it’s been in Diaz’s jewelry box, but she does love to wear it. To get your own ring like Cameron’s, visit cartier.com and to get the look for less visit target.com.

Update: Where’s Your Sexy Man?

Did you submit your guy into our Share Your Sexy Man contest — but don’t see him on our site? We’re working hard to get your photos ready for publication on People.com.

New ones are being added every day. Keep checking back over the next few days! If your guy never appears, the photo you sent might have been too blurry, too small (it should be 400 x 400 pixels — meaning, a camera phone image might not be large enough) or didn’t come through. So, your guy might have been kept off by a technical problem, NOT that he isn’t hot enough! With all these guys to choose from, picking a winner with be tough! Make sure you log on and vote; then pass the link on to your friends!

Brad Pitt: Do You Prefer Him Dressed Up Or Dressed Down?

Some men can pull off every look they go for. Whether completely casual in jeans and tees, or dressed up in suits and ties, they keep us wanting more. Brad Pitt is one of those guys. We can’t decide which way we like him better: Suited up to change the world or leathered up for a motorcycle ride through the city. Can you help us out? Tell us: How do you prefer Brad: Dressed up like a pro, or down like a biker bad boy? — Karen J. Quan

Fantasy Gifts: Our Birthday Picks for Julia Roberts

Our favorite Pretty Woman was born on October 28, 1967, so today she is 39! We have a few thoughts on what gifts to get her, you know, if we had unlimited budgets and were actually friends with her. Anyone who fits those qualifications, feel free to crib from us! (Danny, we’re talking to you.)

1. To protect her famous pout, we would give her a Lip Balm from Laura Mercier, her go-to makeup artist. And for her famous locks, how about Charles Worthington Dream Hair products? (Bonus: the beautiful bottles will look great in her bathroom).

2. For the activist side of her, we would give her the adorable and all-organic Nature Girl Products. And since she has been involved with Unicef for several years, she would love the currant-scented Bond No. 9 Scent of Peace, which donates a percentage of its proceeds to the organization.

3. October babies have opal as their birthstone, so how about this David Yurman Pink Opal Spiritual Bracelet, which donates 20% of its proceeds to Breast Cancer charities.

4. What if Julia wants to give a preview of her performance as the voice of titular Charlotte in the new live action movie to her twins, Hazel and Phinnaeus? She should have a copy of the childrens’ classic Charlotte’s Web handy. And if she’s not up for reading, they can always pop in the orginal animated version.

Got any great birthday gift ideas for Julia Roberts? Let us know

What To Do When Mischa Barton Steps On Your Dress

It’s not easy to walk down the red carpet with a long train on your dress, as Anne Hathaway learned when she donned this flowing Zac Posen gown to the Fashion Group’s Night of Stars event last night. “The biggest problem,” Hathaway told PEOPLE, “is not the train itself, but other people stepping on it.” And guess what? A moment later, Mischa Barton placed her stiletto heel on the back of Hathaway’s dress, didn’t notice and wasn’t moving. Hathaway turned politely and asked, “Sorry, Mischa, can I have my dress back?” Mischa lifted her foot and the two said hello. As for Barton’s dress, though not everyone loved her puffy, one-shouldered Bebe number, stylist Rachel Zoe, who was being honored that night, said it was “fabulous and edgy and gorgeous.” — Jeffrey Slomin

What do you think? Do you prefer Anne Hathaway’s classic gown, or Mischa Barton’s edgy dress?

Update: Carmen Electra’s Busy Hair Week!

Earlier this week, Carmen Electra ditched her warm blonde color for dark brown. And she has changed it again! Wednesday night, Carmen showed off her new blond highlights at a party in L.A. Her reps tell us that the brunette look was just for a photo shoot, and she wanted to go back to being a little lighter. Our readers seemed torn about which look they like better, so we’d like to think she took your advice and split the difference! We’re digging this chocolate base with caramel highlights (are we still talking about hair or candy?). Tell us: what do you think of Carmen’s newest hair color? Would you ever change your hair color just for the day?

Click here to see what she looked like earlier in the week!

How Much Would You Pay for Glasses?

For those of us who wear glasses, finding the right frames is critical– and usually a chunk of change. We think Alain Mikli glasses fit all the necessary requirements of being chic, comfortable, and classic, as do Kate Bosworth, Angela Bassett and Jamie Lynn Sigler. But their newest line is as over-the-top luxe as it gets– every pair of the Horn collection (left) is handmade out of buffalo horn with platinum and 22 karat gold details, retailing between $2100-$2900. Wow! Not for us, but we can’t wait to see what stars start sporting them. Tell us: what is the most you would pay for glasses?
