The singer/actress was seen wearing the breathtaking bling from hubby and fellow music artist Jay Z Friday night at New York’s Radio City Music Hall for the annual Fashion Rocks event.

This was the 27-year-old’s first time sporting the engagement ring since her nuptials in April.

The ring featuring an 18-carat flawless diamond set in platinum was designed by Lorraine Schwartz, who Entertainment Tonight reports has also made stunning creations for Jennifer Lopez, Christina Aguilera and Jessica Simpson. 

The ring is valued at more than $5 million, said People magazine.

Natalie Portman kept her summer sizzle at the Venice Film Festival, People Magazine reports. She looked perfectly chic in a sashed, navy Miu Miu dress with soft curls framing her face.

Drama, drama, drama. Keira Knightley looked anything but calm in her blue, tulle-topped, strapless Alexis Mabeel dress, pulled back hair and square-toe Maschino pumps. A huge fall trend, ladies.

Moving on to sexy Charlize Theron, also in Venice. The girl commanded attention in her sleek, fuchsia Versace dress. It was expertly shaped and paired with little accessories, to keep the attention where it belonged. Beautiful and simple Roger Vivier heels finished the look.

Anne Hathaway left me breathless premiering her new flick, “Rachel Getting Married.” She totally dazzled in an elegant and glamorous, Atelier Versace gown.  The detailed skirt and green compliment her shape and skin tone. 

Sweetheart Reese Witherspoon looked flawless at the Avon event in Brazil. Nothing says well put together like her Navy, Sari Gueron dress with matching shoes and accessories that added a gold sparkle.

On AMC’s critically acclaimed drama, Mad Men, Jon Hamm as adman Don Draper exudes 60s style, wearing suits and fedoras, puffing away on cigarettes and sipping martinis.

But in real life, the Emmy nominee for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series tells People magazine he’s a t-shirt and jeans kind of guy and that he quit smoking when he was 24.

“It’s glamorous on film, but it’s not glamorous waking up and smelling like an ashtray,” he told People.  (The actors smoke herbal cigarettes on the show.)

Despite his leading man good looks and the Golden Globe he won earlier this year, Mad Men is Hamm’s first major role. The 37-year-old St. Louis-bred actor first became interested in acting when he played Winnie the Pooh in first grade, according to Internet Movie Database.

While studying acting at the University of Missouri, he worked as a day care teacher during college, but before coming to Hollywood he was a high school teacher.

Since then he’s had roles in We Were Soldiers, The Division, What About Brian and The Unit. Next up, he will be in The Boy in the Box with Josh Lucas and The Day the Earth Stood Still with Keanu Reeves later this year.

When Hamm’s not acting, he lives in Los Angeles with his long-time partner, actress Jessica Westfeldt. Unlike philandering Don Draper, Hamm is fully committed to Westfeldt.

“I’ve been with the same girl for 10 years,” he told People. “We’re incredibly happy. We have a great life together, a beautiful dog, a house. I’m a very lucky guy.”

Blake Lively’s soft curls and light make-up certainly prove less is more, People Magazine says. 

You can get Blake’s locks by following a few simple steps:

1. Blow-dry hair with a diffuser. 2. Curl hair with a two-inch iron. Pull out curls with fingers. 3. Select random front pieces to twist and braid on each side of head. 4. Loosely pin back twists/braids with bobby pins. Spray with hair spray.

Maybe you want a little more drama to get noticed? Go for a light smoky eye like Sophia Bush. 

1. Cover eyelid with foundation for a clean, smooth palette. 2. Define crease and rim outer bottom corner with shimmer shadow. 3. Line top lashes with black or gray eyeliner. 4. Apply two coats of black mascara.

The pixie cut is all the rage for fall.  Rihanna has been sporting the cut all summer, People says.

You can get Rihanna’s trendsetting cut and color.

1. Go to your favorite salon and request the pixie cut, PLEASE don’t do it yourself! 2. Following box directions, apply a hair color mix in Dark Warm and Wine Brown.  3. Shampoo and conditioner. Blow-dry. 4. Add shine with shine serum, flat-iron. 5. Create piece-yness with pomade.

Though fashion may be the last thing on Barack Obama’s mind, it’s not the same for the ladies. 

Michelle Obama set off a dress fire alarm when she wore an “off-the rack” Donna Ricco dress on ABC’s The View, prompting women all over the country to get a “White House Style” dress. The frenzy also made the designer famous.

Michelle Obama’s speech will be the main event at the Democratic National Convention’s opening night in Denver, People Magazine says. 

Prime time and nationally televised- how is Michelle dealing?  Well she’s got her speech down and she’s “‘ready to roll,’” People says.  But what will the possible future first lady wear? Just like any woman, she hasn’t decided.  Looks like it will be a closet free for all until the last minute.

The Beatrice Inn may sound like a quaint place to stay while vacationing, but it’s actually a hip club in New York City’s West Village where stars such as Kirsten Dunst, Josh Hartnett, Orlando Bloom, Ashley Olsen and the late Heath Ledger frequent.

New couple Sienna Miller and “Brothers & Sister’s” Balthazar Getty snuggled there recently, and Lindsay Lohan and gal pal Samantha Ronson had a spat at the club on July 25, according to People magazine.

New York magazine describes the Beatrice Inn as a quasi-private club featuring oil paintings, antique furniture and nautical mirrors. A candle-filled fireplace sits in a tiny den, deep-set couches fill the main room and classic cocktails are served in a white-tiled barroom.

Yet, you probably won’t find DJ Ronson spinning the tunes at the Beatrice Inn. Instead, club-going celebs dance to mainstream music such as U2, Tom Petty and The Knack’s “My Sharona”, per New York magazine.

Born to celebrity couple Brangelina, twin darlings Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon Jolie-Pitt will finally get their close-ups Sunday three weeks after making their world debut in the ritzy city of Nice, France.

Thank goodness People and London-based Hello! magazines will willingly share the pricey price tag of reportedly $14 million so that we, the public, can share in the adorableness of the sure-to-be-snugly-cute duo born to their equally photogenic and grandly philanthropic parents, Angelina and Brad.

That big bundle of cash is earmarked to do good, helping children around the world through the Jolie-Pitt Foundation, the charitable organization founded by the humanitarian pair in 2006.
