AnnaLynne McCord may have an enviable collection of sexy dresses for the red carpet, but for her latest outing, she’s just wearing a purse — or four. The 90210 actress is the new face of Marc Ecko’s handbag line, with the campaign launching in March in magazines and online at marcecko.com. And McCord is hardly complaining about her lack of wardrobe in the sexy ads, saying in a release, “I had so much fun shooting the Marc Ecko campaign, wearing nothing but the amazing handbags—the ads are going to be so sexy!” And Ecko returns the compliment, calling the 23-year-old “a proper bombshell.” “He adds, “She makes my heart skip a beat. She’s got a great sense of style and a good vibe.” And if you love what you see in the seductive ads shot by Tony Duran, you’re in luck with the affordable line which ranges from $60-$85 at Macy’s. Tell us: What do you think of AnnaLynne’s new ad?

Lady Gaga is adding one more title to her expanding resume. “I’m the musical director for the MUGLER fashion show,” she announced Monday on Twitter of being commissioned to create an exclusive soundtrack for the Thierry Mugler menswear presentation, which will take place tomorrow in Paris. “I’m remixing/previewing a record on Born This Way, tailored for the show + garments,” she adds of her play-list, which is reputed to feature a never-before-heard track from her upcoming album, due out in May. The deal was sealed through Thierry Mugler’s new creative director, Nicola Formichetti, who also happens to pull double duty as Gaga’s stylist and close friend, reports WWD. Formichetti took over the reins at Mugler last fall, and this will be his debut collection since joining the Mugler team. Which leaves us all wondering the obvious next question: what in the world will Gaga be wearing? –Kim Peiffer

Just when we were getting used to Khloe Kardashian’s new red-hot hair, the reality star has returned to her brunette roots. “I had to dye my hair back to brown,” she announced on her Twitter page. “I love being a brunette don’t get me wrong but red was SOO much fun! I was only red for a like a week :(,” says the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star, who had debuted the auburn color at the People’s Choice Awards on January 5th. “The red was too short lived! I’ll be a red head again but today I’m being a brat because I want my red hair back now LOL,” she tweeted. Minutes later, when fans expressed their own sadness that Khloe had ended her relationship with red, Kardashian continued her mourning session. “You guys are making me sadder… LOL most of you guys loved the red too! Soon I’ll be red! Promise.” Do you miss Khloe as a red head? –Kim Peiffer

Looks like Justin Bieber has world domination at his fingertips! Since launching his One Less Lonely Girl nail polish collection for Nicole by OPI exclusively at Walmart weeks ago, all six of the line’s launch colors have sold out at more than 3,000 stores nationwide. “A lot of [Justin's] songs are about making girls feel good,” Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, the brand’s executive vice president and artistic director, says to PEOPLE of the collection’s chart-topping popularity. “He sees that nail polish really makes girls feel good.” In addition to more conservative shades, “there’s some glitter and shimmer,” she says, but adds that just like Justin’s ‘tween-to-mom audience, “There’s something in the One Less Lonely Girl collection [for] anybody.” Despite in-store sell-outs, Beliebers can still get their hands on Justin’s $9 polishes online at walmart.com–and the superstore is currently restocking in locations coast-to-coast. Other retailers will pick up the collection (which will expand to 14 colors) in February. – Hana Choi; reporting by Katherine Kluznik Rentmeester

They sing, they dance — and they look this good? It’s almost not fair how much the stylish and talented female cast members of Glee have going for them. But, as we learned with “Sectionals” last year, not everyone can be the ultimate winner. So we leave it up to you to decide which of the gorgeous gals from Glee was the best on the red carpet. Was it breakout star Lea Michele in pink Oscar de la Renta and Lorraine Schwartz jewelry or her on-air arch rival Dianna Agron in soft J. Mendel and Cathy Waterman jewels? What about Jayma Mays, who ditched Emma Pilsbury’s up-tight bows for a sexy black beaded Alberta Ferretti gown with Neil Lane diamonds? Can you choose between Cheerio BFFs Heather Morris, in Lorena Sarbu Couture, and Naya Rivera, in Douglas Hannant? Don’t forget about Jenna Uskhowitz in romantic Rebecca Taylor, Jessalyn Gilsig in David Meister and Amber Riley in silver sparkles. Tell us: Who is your favorite Glee leading lady from last night’s Golden Globes?
