Lauren Conrad’s Nylon Party Night

After making a trip to see her local psychic earlier in the day, Lauren Conrad got all prettied up and headed out for a night of partying in Tinseltown on Thursday (September 4).

The MTV reality starlet ventured over to the Nylon magazine Pre-VMA party in Los Angeles, looking sexy in a sleeveless black belted minidress paired with strappy black heels.

As for the VMAs, LC is going to be one of the night’s presenters, of which she recently told press: “I’m going and I’m presenting and I’m really excited. I just got my dress today.”

When asked if there’s anything about the show in particular that she’s most looking forward to, Conrad replied: ” Michael Jackson! When do you get to see that?”

Beyonce Knowles: Chillin’ at Fashion Rocks

She has a big weekend in New York City ahead of her, and Beyonce Knowles is already taking care of business like the seasoned pro that she is.

The “Irreplaceable” babe was spotted on her way out of Rockefeller Center last night (September 4) after wrapping up her rehearsal for the Fashion Rocks show. She’ll perform at the event that will be taped tonight, and aired on Tuesday, September 9th.

And Beyonce recently told press that all of the pomp and circumstance of being a pop star has become old hat to her. “I’m over being a pop star. I don’t wanna be a hot girl. I feel like I’ve accomplished a lot (and) I feel like I’m highly respected, which is more important than any award or any amount of records. I feel like there comes a point when being a pop star is not enough.”

She also noted that her role as Etta James in the upcoming movie “Cadillac Records” is sure to shock her fans. “I’ve been saying for a long time that I wanted to do something dark. People are going to be very shocked. It’s the complete opposite of me. It was very emotionally draining. I was exhausted.”

He told press, “She does a song-and-dance number that is the best one we’ve ever done. We’ve done tons of (musical numbers), and she was just phenomenal.

With all of the hype and hoopla surrounding the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards, there’s plenty to do in Tinseltown. And Paris Hilton was spotted out and about last night, enjoying yet another industry party.

And once all of the VMA excitement has died down, Paris will be heading up to Canada for the Toronto Film Festival premiere of “Paris, Not France,” a movie being billed as a behind-the-scenes look at her life.

In order to build up some hype, Hilton has already canceled two advance screenings at the advice of her publicist. Her rep, Jason Moore, revealed, “We wanted to create more buzz, create some hype. We felt the impact would be more extreme if we had one screening. She is a partner with the documentary and will be attending Tuesday’s screening in support of it.”
