What’s it like to work the red carpet of a big award show? PEOPLE’s Galina Espinoza is with Billy Bush from Access Hollywood at the World Music Awards. As the stars stopped to chat with Billy, Galina sent in text messages with her VIP POV.

Remember Natalie Imbruglia?
She dated David Schwimmer for 5 minutes and had that huge hit single, “Torn” years ago. Well, her eyes are as big and blue as ever, but she’s got from dramatically dark to Barbie blonde!

Paris Hilton Drives The Crowd Wild!
Her dress is quite pretty: short and gold, it’s very flapper-meets-showgirl. She graciously signs autographs for the fans screaming, Paris! Paris! Her dress is by Cavalli, who she is sitting with tonight. She’s also wearing blue eyeshadow and long false eyelashes. Paris tells Billy Bush that reports of her feuding with Lindsay Lohan is “silly stuff that people make up.”

Michael Jackson Arrives
It’s 7:57 and he just got out of the car-he’s walking across the red carpet surrounded by press and the fans are screaming. I can’t quite see him yet as he’s literally engulfed by cameras.

He has now walked over to greet fans — he’s wearing black sunglasses and a black sequinned jacket and a black button down shirt with rhinestone buttons and black velvet pants. I am in serious danger of getting trampled by the dodging photogs!

(p.s. He’s also got on black suede boots with heels and pointy toes. His hair is long and black, and he’s wearing lipstick!)

Like all things Eighties — leotards, t-shirts, haircuts — the iconic Ray Ban Wayfarers are back. C’mon, you remember them on a young Tom Cruise in Risky Business, don’t you? As shot by legendary rock photographer Mick Rock, the glasses get a modern spin on contemporary rockers like Brandon Flowers of the Killers. And don’t be surprised if you see Mischa Barton and Molly Sims in the iconic glasses sometime soon — they are just a couple of the stars expected at tonight’s launch party in NYC. If you can’t wait for the new frames to hit the market in January, pick up the classics on sale now.

While some women, like Jennifer Aniston, may have hit the genetic jackpot with their naturally glowing skin, not all of us are so lucky. The shelves of drugstores and department stores are brimming with skincare products promising to smooth, contour, exfoliate and plump. It can get pretty overwhelming to figure out which one is right for you and your complexion. We know that Jennifer is a dedicated user of the ultra-luxe Chanel Sublimage cream, but we want to know your favorites! Tell us: What’s your skincare secret weapon? Is it a product that you love or a piece of great advice you’ve received?

Monday night, Mariska Hargitay attended the Alliance for Children’s Rights gala in Los Angeles while wearing this stunning chocolate brown Carolina Herrera frock. Unbeknownst to her, Gabrielle Union hit the Carolina Herrera boutique opening in the same dress elsewhere in town. Luckily they didn’t meet up — talk about fashion crisis! We think both actresses look fantastic, and we love that the straps can be worn on or off the shoulder. Tell us: Who do you think wears it better? New mom Mariska or Running with Scissors cutie Gabrielle?
