The darling Dolly Parton was in fine form at last night's Hollywood premiere of choir competition flick Joyful Noise.

In addition to Dolly (with her high-as-the-heavens hair and her extreme hourglass figure in a tailored white dress), co-stars Queen Latifah, Keke Palmer (so gorgeous!), and Jeremy Jordan (trading plenty of PDA with Ashley Spencer) took their turns on the red carpet outside Grauman's Chinese Theatre.

Love us some Dolly, but with this kind of box office fare, it must be January.

And so begins the desert glam fest that is the Palm Springs International Film Festival.

Last night, the Palm Springs Convention Center played host to a gala sponsored by Cartier.  The fancy bash is oft compared to being an Oscar warm-up and, with George Clooney making a red carpet appearance alongside Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, we have to agree.  Clooney had his red carpet staple Stacy Keibler by his side.  Next to Jolie, Pitt's second most interesting accessory was his walking cane.  Apparently, he was carrying his daughter down a ski slope on a recent family trip when he slipped and fell.  Hopefully, Shiloh (or Zahara or Viv) isn't hobbling around with her own adorable little cane!

Pitt was in attendance to accept the Desert Palm Achievement Actor Award which was presented to him by his Moneyball co-star, Jonah Hill.

The evening raised $1.6 million for the nonprofit Palm Springs Film Society.  Well done, beautiful people... and Jonah!

No need for thank you cards.  Your eyes can just express their appreciation via comment.

Last night, Angelina Jolie was an ooey gooey treat for the ocular senses at the L.A. premiere of In The Land of Blood and Honey.  The presence of beau Brad Pitt made it like a second serving of dessert for the eyes as he joined Jolie on the red carpet outside Hollywood's ArcLight Theatre.

The film is Jolie's directorial debut.  Not only did she direct, Angie also wrote and produced the picture.  Hey there, multi-hyphenate!

The usually form-flaunting LeAnn Rimes must have chosen that loose-fitting frock to hide a belly bulge full of McDonald's.  Or perhaps because the dress is really quite beautiful.  Guess what?  Our bet's on the latter, obviously.

Last night, a whole horde of stars showed up to the Hollywood Palladium for Trevor Live Los Angeles.  Among the attendees were LeAnn, her handsome husband Eddie Cibrian, and her Jetsons-worthy wedges.

Trevor Live was an "an irreverent evening of music and comedy" held to benefit The Trevor Project, the nation's leading organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning youth.

Daaaaaaaay-um, Bieber.  Nice pull!

Of course, we'd expect nothing less of the young man so desired by oh so many.

Last night, Justin Bieber and girlfriend Selena Gomez stepped out together in a very public way as they hit the red carpet at the 2011 American Music Awards.  Justin planted a sweet kiss on his lady's cheek right there for everyone to see.  He even helped her with the train on her shimmering silver gown as they inched down the red rug.

Prom royalty in waiting, take notes!

So it's finally here.  That for which all those dedicated tent-dwellers were eagerly awaiting.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 held it's world premiere last night at the Nokia Theater at L.A. Live in fabulous Los Angeles, California.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart looked picture perfect posing beside each other on the red carpet.  Kristen vamped up her look with a thigh high slit and smokey eyeshadow.  Rob, meanwhile, wore his much-admired hair in a perfectly tousled tuff while looking sharp in a gray suit with black skinny tie.  Co-star Taylor Lautner opted for a blue suit with some fancy brown shoes.

So, any tenters wanna tell us if the fanfare was merited?
