– SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR, spending her day shopping in Beverly Hills. The actress stopped into Christian Louboutin where she stepped into a pair of sexy shoes and walked out with a shopping bag!

– PAULA ABDUL, loading up on cosmetics during a shopping trip to Barneys Beverly Hills. The Hey Paula star left with four makeup brushes by T. LeClerc as well as a Plaisir Lip Pencil. Abdul also bought multiple Serge Lutens products, including some foundation, mascara and various lipstick colors. She also left smelling nice, buying Serge Lutens fragrances in Gris Clair, Clair de Musc and Un Bois Vanille.

– MARIA SHRIVER, doing a bit of shopping for her governor husband, ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER. Browsing the men’s section at Ron Robinson S2 in Fred Segal Melrose, Shriver found a “True Love and False Idols” brand t-shirt emblazoned with the message: ‘Welcome 2 California” and a buff male bod with a split face: one-half was the Terminator and the other was Conan the Barbarian. Think he’ll wear it?

– SHANNA MOAKLER, browsing in Fred Segal Fun in Santa Monica with a female friend. During her spree, the former Dancing With the Stars contestant picked up some casual wear including Chip and Pepper jeans and a pair of jeans from VICTORIA BECKHAM’s new denim line.

Ivanka Trump, The Donald’s eldest daughter who was featured prominently on the last season of The Apprentice, is ready to make a name for herself: She’s launching her very own jewelry company in September, called — what else? — Ivanka Trump. “It’s very high end, very cool, a little bit of Old Hollywood reinvented,” Trump revealed to PEOPLE during a “ladies-night” outing with a group of girlfriends at downtown Manhattan’s newly refurbished SushiSamba restaurant. “It’s my first totally independent venture, and I’m really excited.” True to Trump style, the line’s not exactly inexpensive — think “a lot of diamonds,” Trump says, showing off a signature 7-carat diamond ring and large diamond-encrusted knotted earrings. The sometime model and successful real estate developer at the Trump Organization will be selling her pieces at her very own Ivanka Trump stores, the first of which will open on New York’s tony Madison Avenue in September (the second in Las Vegas will follow shortly after). “At the end of the day my focus will always be the real estate,” Trump admits. “But I love jewelry, and I’m just excited about it!”
