Oats aren’t just part of a well-balanced breakfast — they’re also a powerful ingredient in many skincare products. Known for their anti-inflammatory properties, oats are packed into intensely hydrating body moisturizers like Aveeno’s Skin Relief Moisturizing Lotion, $10, a fragrance-free formula for super-dry, itchy skin. If you’d rather experience a bathtime oat-infused treat, try Liz Earle’s Orange Flower Botanical Body Wash, $20, which contains a natural foaming agent — perfect for sensitive skin. But oats aren’t regulated to body care alone- oat extract is used in Be Fine Food Skin Care’s Gentle Cleanser, $16, to sooth inflammation. So next time you find yourself craving a warm bowl of oatmeal, expand your horizons — your skin will thank you.

No, Beyonce hasn’t turned into a rocker, but she did go for metallic in a big (and weighty) way at last night’s BET Awards in Los Angeles. She hit the red carpet in a stunning one of a kind crystal gown from Dolce & Gabbana, topped with a metal corset belt that an insider tells PEOPLE “weighs a million pounds!” She then changed into full C3P0 robot mode for a performance of her hit song “Get Me Bodied” — eventually, the robot shell came off to reveal a metal bra-let and mirrored gold leggings that seemed to be a little bit easier for booty-shaking. And Beyonce added a little bit more metal by the end of the night. The singer won two trophies for best R&B Female and Video of the Year, for her single, “Irreplaceable”.

With all the hoopla surrounding Paris Hilton’s time in jail, we couldn’t help but think one thing when she got out last night — she looks great! From her white Marcello Toshi pumps to her skinny jeans to her linen Petro Zillia jacket, the heiress looked positively chic upon her release last night. It even turns out that she was modeling a pair of jeans from her yet-to-be released denim line for hotspot shop Kitson in L.A. Only Paris could turn the prison parking lot into a runway!

We all know that Britney Spears has gone through a lot with her hair this past year — blonde, brunette, and bald — but we were getting used to the platinum extensions that she’s been sporting lately. Now she’s emerged with her hair back to a very dark brown and we can’t decide which we like better (we’re also pondering if she dyed her extensions or if they are brand new. . .). Tell us: What do you think of Britney’s latest color? Do you like her better blonde or with the newly dark locks?
