– HILARY DUFF, taking a day to pamper herself around Los Angeles. After dropping off pal Mike Comrie, the singer-actress got her nails done, and then she stopped into Maxine, which she left with a couple full bags!

– PAULA ABDUL, scouting out the Sunset Plaza Tent Sale in Los Angeles with her restaurateur beau J.T. TORREGIANI. The Hey Paula star tried on some clothes, without even taking off the outfit she was originally wearing. Instead, she just slipped the items on over her clothes. She left with items from Leona, Just Cavalli and Nicole Miller. And her shopping went to a good cause: Some proceeds were donated to the Los Angeles Fireman’s Relief Association.

– KYRA SEDGWICK, getting well-heeled at Il Primo Passo in Santa Monica. The Closer star bought a pair of purple Alejandro Ingelmo heels. “She was shopping alone and was looking for a pair of shoes to go with a Peter Som dress she was going to buy from Aura boutique,” says a fellow shopper. “She was very nice and looked great. She was wearing jeans and a ruffled navy top. She only tried on that one pair.”

– UMA THURMAN, loading up on Chloe sweaters at Intermix in Manhattan. She left with three fall sweaters (two grey, one yellow) — and she also snagged a Young Broke & Fabulous sweatshirt for her daughter.

– DEBRA MESSING, beating the summer heat in a skimpy romper (hello!) during a visit to Fragments in SoHo. The Starter Wife star also sipped ice coffee from Dean and Deluca during her visit.

Kate Bosworth’s style tends to be impeccable — and way too expensive for us to even think about copying, like her recent Jil Sander dress. So we were thrilled to see Kate in a dress that is totally affordable! Kate hit the streets of L.A. this week in a Libertine for Target (one of their famed GO! collections) Striped Tunic Dress that is only $18. What could be better? Either buy it one size up so it’s loose like Kate’s and belt it, or get it in your size for a sexy and snug fit. Check out other great pieces from the Libertine collection like this Crepe Dress, $40 and this Eyelet Apron Cami, $30. Get Kate’s dress on target.com, $18.

How many items in your makeup bag have a whole song dedicated to their appeal? I’m sure that I’m not the only total makeup junkie who got an extra kick out of Lil Mama’s hit “Lip Gloss.” (Click here to watch the video on aol.com) From my first Lip Smackers to the many, many tubes of sparkling gloss that dot my desk and fill up my purses, I am a lip gloss girl through and through (just like Mandy Moore). And while my allegiance can vary wildly week to week, I’ll always come back to my MAC Lipglass. Now we want which one you can’t live without. Tell us: What is your all-time favorite lipgloss?
