While Nick Lachey was one of the headliners at the Z100 Jingle Ball bash in New York on Friday, the singer did more than just woo the crowd with his love songs: He made a supportive fashion statement. Lachey, who spent some time in the gift lounge before the concert, modeled FDNY Heritage Maltese cap, which is part of the new “Wear NYC” campaign that features clothing emblazoned with logos of various New York City agencies, including the NYPD, and other departments. Of course, a portion of the proceeds benefit the agencies directly. And Nick’s not the only one hearting New York — Liv Tyler is a fan of the City of New York Dept of Sanitation t-shirt while Martin Scorsese naturally prefers the “Made in NY” clothing from the Mayor’s office of Film. To “Wear NYC” yourself, visit officialnycshop.com.

We love gifts that multi-task, and this collection of six mix-and-match glosses from Tarte definitely does double-duty. Gilt Trip, $28, includes six gold-flecked glosses in a gold-leather jewel-box case (perfect for storing jewelry or business cards once the glosses are gone). The shades range from a golden champagne to gilded magenta and work on every skin-tone. Even better, they’re the perfect size for a slim evening clutch. It’s not too late to score one of these in time for the holidays! Visit tartecosmetics.com to buy.

Is Britney’s style more consistent than we’ve realized? We’ve been busy concentrating on her ever-evolving hair — short, long, blonde, brown — but Britney’s lacy mini-dress from this weekend looked awfully familiar. The pop princess wore a similar Dolce & Gabbana mini, showcasing her undies and toned tummy, to the VMAs all the way back in 2001. Is this just a case of the more things change, the more they stay the same? We continue to be impressed with her post-baby body, but we certainly prefer her covered-up look.

Actress Jaime Pressly proudly announced to the world that she was expecting a little bundle of joy on Jay Leno last month, but her favorite facialist got the good news before anyone else! Worried that the UltraLuxe Age Control Facial she loves so much could be harmful to her unborn baby, the 29-year-old wrinkle-free star first confided her baby news to Sonya Dakar to ensure that the treatment and product line are safe for pregnancy. Lucky for the My Name Is Earl star and mom-to-be (and her little one), they are 100 percent safe. And if you can’t make it into Sonya’s lavish L.A. spa to get the facial, check out all of her UltraLuxe products online (and register for their product giveaway!).

Last Thursday we asked you which Golden Globe nominee you were most excited to see, and it seems like Dreamgirls’ Jennifer Hudson is the name on everyone’s lips (or fingertips, since you typed it). We’re so thrilled for this former American Idol runner-up, and know we’ll be seeing a lot more of her in the next couple of months. We’ve noticed that she likes to play with her hair. In October, she had long, one length locks (as she wore to the DGA Honors) but we also like these cute, playful bangs she’s been wearing recently. Tell Us: Which do you like better: Bangs or no bangs?
