Hilary Duff was snapped yesterday attending the launch party for the Samsung Samsung 3D LED TV in New York City.

The recently engaged singer-actress, 22, is planning a return to music soon, but just announced that she’s penning her own series of novels for young adults. The first book is due in October through Simon & Schuster, and after that she’ll be writing a non-fiction book aimed at young kids coping with divorce which is due out in 2012.

Hey, if Lauren Conrad and Tori Spelling can top the NY Times bestseller list than Hilary sure can!

Also at the launch party was Fergie with her band the Black Eyed Peas, but I left out the pics of the boys because nobody really cares what they look like on the red carpet.

Fergie-Ferg and the Peas are currently in the middle of a world tour for their smash album The E.N.D., which has sold over 6 million copies since its release. Once the tour wraps up there are rumors that Fergie may release another solo album after rocker Slash said she expressed interest in doing a rock record with him.

It’s been a while since we’ve heard from, or even seen singer-model Cassie, who’s been harder to find than a needle in a haystack ever since she deleted her Twitter account a while back, but this week the stylish star decided to come out of hiding to attend Paris Fashion Week with her main man Diddy. {pic source}

The 23-year-old was still rocking her infamous half-shave, but now she’s added a blonde/brown color to it.

I can’t believe that this is the first time that she’s even been photographed out. If she really wanted to she could be be an Amber Rose or a Nicole Richie and not actually do anything, but still be popular and famous just for landing in fashion magazines and tabloids. I guess she’s just not really into fame though.

I don’t have any new info on her album, but it seems like she’s continuing her modeling career because she recently did a photoshoot with hip-hop clothing label Diamond Supply Co.

Britney Spears has ditched the dark brunette hair that she’s been sporting lately, heading to the Nine One Zero salon in West Hollywood on Friday to dye it back to a delicious looking honey blonde.

With the amount of times she’s dyed her hair I’m surprised that it hasn’t all fallen out of her head by now, but I’m actually even more surprised at how beautiful she looks now. See what a difference a shower, a comb and some clean clothes can make Britney?

The Queen B, who earned almost $40 million last year off her music alone, has also rubbished reports that her new album will be released this June, taking to her official website to label the story “bullshit”. She also denied the rumors through her rep who released an exclusive statement to JustJared.

“There is no scheduled release date for a Britney album at all,” her label rep exclusively tells JustJared.com. “There has been zero discussion about it.”

It’s a shame that we’ll have to wait longer for new music, but it’s probably a lot better that she has more time to write and record so nothing is rushed at all.

The human chameleon Kelis has began promoting her new single “Acapella”, performing it at Eve nightclub in Las Vegas on Friday night.

“Acapella” has yet to dent the Hot 100, but it’s rapidly shooting up the Billboard club charts, this week reaching a new peak of #3.

A video for the David Guetta produced song has already been shot, as has the artwork for Kelis’ next album Flesh Tones which is due out this Spring.

The beautiful Teairra Mari kept things grown ‘n’ sexy today on the set of her new music video for “Sponsor”, which also features rapper Soulja Boy and is lifted from Tea-Tea’s heavily-delayed sophomore album At That Point.

“Sponsor” is looking like it could be the big break that Teairra’s been waiting for after it reached #56 on the R&B charts and looks likely to rise in the near future.

If the video turns out to be even half as hot as these pictures then Tea-Tea may find herself with a big urban hit on her hands. “Sponsor” is the ultimate gold diggers anthem, how could you not like it?

Get it Tea-Tea!

The newly engaged Hilary Duff showed off her big fat engagement ring in Hawaii on Friday by strategically touching her face and adjusting her hair in a seemingly nonchalant fashion, giving the paps a nice shot of the giant sparkler on her hand.

Hil’s rockin’ her louis bag, a juicy diamond ring on her finger and she’s sunning it up in Hawaii with the man of her dreams. Lucky girl!

I wonder how her relationship will affect her next album, especially since last year when she independently released the song “Any Other Day” which was quite dark. She writes all her own songs now so it’ll be interesting to see. {pic source}

Yesterday Hilary Duff confirmed her engagement to her NHL hockey player boyfriend of almost three years Mike Comrie, but on top of her confirmation we also have some sneaky paparazzi shots that show how the big thing went down. {source}

The proposal took place on the balcony of the hotel that the pair have been staying at on their Hawaiian vacation. The two love birds can be seen relaxing before Mike gets on one knee and proposes to a shocked and excited Hilary, which ends with a “yes”, lots of cuddling, and finally Hilary taking snaps of her big diamond rock on her cell phone to send to all her friends!

On top of her future wedding Hilary is also working on her acting career, writing a fiction novel and planning to return to music.

It’s great to see everything working out for her. I guess that’s what happens to nice, sweet, hardworking girls!

The Princess of Pop Heidi Montag was snapped out & about yesterday morning filming scenes for The Hills in Beverly Hills. After filming wrapped up the plastic fantastic flop headed out to Voyeur Nightclub with husband Spencer Pratt, Khloe Kardashian, Audrina Patridge and Ryan Cabrera.

Earlier this month Heidi tweeted that she was excited about recording a new song in the studio. Is she still working on music? I hope so!

Check out all the Heidi snaps below the cut.

American Idol winner Kris Allen arrived in Haiti today with the UN to help out aid efforts in the country. {pic source}

The first stop on his trip was the Place de la Paix camp for mothers and children, where he performed “Amazing Grace” in one of the many crowded tents filling the camp.

The footage of Kris’ trip will be used in the Idol Gives Back special which airs April. Kris will be presenting the footage, performing, and talking about his trip and giving advice on how people can help Haiti.

In other news his lead single “Live Like We’re Dying” continues to climb the charts five months after it’s release, this week reaching a new peak of #21 on the Hot 100. Kris will be performing the song on American Idol this week so keep an eye out for that.

After waiting for the swelling to go down on her recent batch of plastic surgery, the new princess of pop Heidi Montag graced the world with her first post-surgery public appearance by hosting a Valentines Day party at Pure nightclub on Saturday night.

Is it just me or does she now look exactly the same as before, just plainer and older?

Anyways it’s not Heidi’s body dysmorphia that I’m interested in, it’s her flat auto-tuned monotone voice that really won my heart so make sure you pick up her two new singles “Trash Me” and “Sex Ed” when they’re released digitally on February 15th.

Who knows, maybe Heidi will out-peak her mega smash hit “More is More” which reached the dizzying heights of #27 on the US club charts last year!
