October may be winding down, but finding a cure for breast cancer is always at the forefront of our minds. With this being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite pink products to share — and proceeds from all of them help support the cause.

Reba and Fergie Footwear
The company behind Reba McEntire’s boots and Fergie‘s sparkly pumps (bottom left; also available in black), the Brown Shoe Company, has pledged $20,000 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure with sales from the limited-edition “Collins” cowboy boots, $179 on dillards.com, and the pink pump, $79 on FergieShoes.com.

Old Navy
Celebs like Shenae Grimes and Maria Menounos support BCA month in their Old Navy Komen tees; five percent of the retail price of each shirt will go toward the organization. If you don’t want to purchase a shirt, make a cash donation at any Old Navy store, and the company will match, up to $100,000. $23-$25 at oldnavy.com.

Camila Alves’s Favorite Gift: A Ring from Matthew McConaughey

White diamonds may be a girl’s best friend, but Camila Alves confesses her favorite stone happens to be brown.

The unusual gem tops “a ring from my man,” the best gift Alves told PEOPLE she’s ever received. (That man, of course, is Matthew McConaughey.) The Pomellato bauble, which she wore to a Lincoln Lawyer premiere in March, has “a rough brown diamond in it. It’s very unique,” she shared.

McConaughey doesn’t get his longtime partner jewelry too often. “It’s not a ‘thing’ that we do,” she told PEOPLE at the Brazilian Style book launch in New York on Tuesday. “So when he does, it’s special.

“I don’t spend a lot of money on things, but I love jewelry,” she added. “So people that know me know it’s the right thing to give me.”

Keith Urban’s Fragrance Commercial Contest: Get Inspired

Keith Urban needs your help: he has a new cologne, Phoenix, but no commercial to promote the scent. So we’ve teamed up with the country superstar, and we’re asking fans to make their own commercials — with the chance to win some fabulous prizes.

Ellen DeGeneres recently created her own entry — albeit kind of inappropriate! — and Urban’s team has created a few clips of their own, like the one above. The country singer wants to see fans’ most creative videos, demonstrating why Phoenix is the cologne all men want to wear.

Gwyneth Paltrow’s Biggest Beauty Secret? Sleep!

Gwyneth Paltrow Diet and Beauty

We know how she got that rockin’ bikini body, but how does Gwyneth Paltrow maintain her outer glow?

“For me, sleep is a major thing,” she said Saturday during an appearance on Ask Dr. Brandt on Sirius XM Radio. “I don’t always get it, and when I don’t, I look like I’ve been hit by a truck.”

Other beauty secrets Paltrow lives by include drinking lots of water, taking vitamins “religiously” and having at least one cup of coffee — with almond milk — each morning. She follows that with a glass of homemade green juice, consisting of kale and her favorite farmer’s market goodies, and eats a lean protein with veggies for lunch. But she allows herself to cheat once in a while.
“Dinner is where I really go off the rails,” she admitted, saying that when she eats out she indulges in French fries and red wine. But at home, she cooks healthfully for her family, and tries to avoid gluten and dairy.

The wait is almost over: Versace’s hotly anticipated collection for H&M hits stores Nov. 17! The items — including womenswear, menswear and home goods — will be available at 300 H&M stores and online.

“The collection for H&M is the essence of Versace,” Donatella Versace said in a release. “For the collaboration we’ve brought back from the archives, as well as from more recent collections, some of the icons of Versace, such as the bright prints, the Greek key and daring cuts. I can’t wait to see how H&M’s wide audience will make these pieces their own.”

Whitney Port Is on a ‘Shopping Strike’

She designs her own clothing line, but Whitney Port isn’t making any extra room in her closet these days. The former City star tells FabSugar.com that she’s on a “shopping strike.”

“I just moved into a new place and organized my closet, and I realized that I really shouldn’t buy anything else — I literally have stuff with tags still attached — so I’m just going to revamp my existing pieces for fall,” she says. That includes menswear — “I love a pantsuit,” she shares — plus kitten heels.

Port was on hand at Domaine Chandon in Napa Valley, Calif., last week to present the spring 2012 Whitney Eve show and benefit the National Breast Cancer Foundation during an “Eve of Hope.” “I have family members that have been affected by the disease, and I really want to stress the importance of early detection,” the starlet shares. “It’s so crucial to go out and get tested, because the earlier they find something, the better chances you have of survival.”
