– How do your favorite Desperate Housewives spend their time off (thanks to a writer’s strike)? By shopping, of course. EVA LONGORIA and castmate (and real life pal) NICOLLETTE SHERIDAN hit up went shopping in West Hollywood — Longoria left with loot from Express and Coach.

– Meanwhile, co-star MARCIA CROSS hit up Baby Gap on her own– a perfect place to dress her 8 month-old twins, Eden and Savannah.

– LANCE BASS, loading up on a winter wardrobe at Armani Exchange in New York. Now in the Big Apple where he’s starring in Hairspray on Broadway, the singer bought some driving gloves, jeans and a fur collar leather shirt jacket. Said Bass: “I’m excited to shop for winter clothes now that I’m living in New York. I haven’t need a new winter wardrobe in years; it’s never cold enough in LA!”

– LINDSAY LOHAN, visiting the Envie boutique for a long (over an hour!) shopping trip. The actress left in head to toe Envie, spending around $1600 on T-shirts, hooded sweatshirts and even jewelry.

– CELINE DION, checking out the diamonds at Van Cleef & Arpels in Paris. There, the singer bought a diamond ring before continuing on to posh shops like Louis Vuitton and the Dior store at Place Vendome.

– When in London, shop! RIHANNA hit up the Chanel shop in Sloane Street for a spot of shopping.

The two-time award winner performed her new single, “So Small”, wearing a stunning yellow chiffon Escada dress ornamented at the hip with twin Johnathon Arndt imperial jadeite and diamond butterfly pins worth over six million dollars! And her bling binge didn’t end there. She walked the red carpet dripping in jewels that included a watch valued at nearly $300,000, 5.78 ct. princess cut diamond earrings valued at $52,000, and a rose cut diamond ring set valued at $68,000. In total, the gorgeous star showed off more than $7 million worth jewels by the end of the evening. Nothing so small about that!

Want to do good with your accessories? These rubber and wire Ubantu bracelets, made by HIV positive women in South Africa, serve two purposes. The women make a living while caring for their families at home, and profits go toward supporting Botshabelo, an orphanage for children left behind by the African AIDs epidemic. Angels in the Dust, a documentary telling Botshabelo’s founder Marion Cloete’s story, is a must see for anyone concerned about the world’s children. To add to the heartbreak, the orphans’ stories are interwoven with the dramatic parallel saga of the orphaned elephants of Pilanesberg National Park in South Africa. The bracelets are $15 each and come in small, medium and large — click here to buy one. And for more information on the movie, click here.

She always looks like a million bucks , so we were more than a little excited when Ugly Betty’s Rebecca Romijn revealed that she only shelled out $150 to look this good! The star chose this gorgeous gray Bebe dress for a luncheon for Los Angeles Confidential magazine’s Fall Fashion Issue. And it’s a natural choice, considering the former supermodel is the newest face of the company, which she tells PEOPLE is “a great brand! It’s always a good fit.” As for the sparkling cuff, “It’s fake!” she offers, laughing. “I shouldn’t have let that go so easily. $1 million!” The final piece of the ensemble, a paw print necklace, was given to the dog-loving star by her co-star Becki Newton. We’ve tracked down Rebecca’s look for you — you can even nab it on your next trip to the mall.
