The first stop on tonight's soiree schedule is Maxim's bash for covergirl Ashley Greene at Avenue in New York City.

Avenue is same spot where I spotted Rob Pattinson and Kristin Stewart getting cozy last week, but we won't get a repeat performance tonight. Robsten has returned to L.A., so we'll have to make do without them. At least Chaske Spencer is in attendance, representing the New Moon wolfpack.

While Ashley doesn't arrive until an hour and a half past the start time, the guest of honor appears looking hot in a black cap sleeve dress and rocking some cleavage.

Lady Gaga is always singing about sex—so who would have guessed she's actually scared of it?

Yesterday, at the album release party for her Fame Monster, she told E! News that this record is all about her phobias.

"Fear of alcohol, fear of sex monster, fear of love monster, fear of myself monster," she explained.

One thing eager fans didn't have to worry about while waiting to get some time with Gaga? Going hungry...

Before her tour bus's tragic crash, it was a Party in the USA for Miley Cyrus' 17th birthday.

More like party in the Big Apple, actually.

The teen queen (who's actual birthday is today), was surprised with an '80s rocker themed bash at the Canal Room last Wednesday. Her brother Trace and rumored boyfriend Liam Hemsworth were on hand for the throwback fete, featuring performances from the Rock of Ages cast and a special cake designed by TLC's Cake Boss, Buddy Valastro.

Of course, in true Miley fashion, the fete wasn't without some controversy.

Some bloggers slammed the birthday girl over her provocative outfit, which was a belly-baring shirt, tiny shorts and high boots.

We really wouldn't expect anything less from her.

While most of the New Moon cast was at the official afterparty following last night's screening in New York, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart slipped away for some private quality time.

Ashley Greene, Kellan Lutz and Peter Facinelli all hit up the postscreening bash held at the Box. Ed Westwick also made a late appearance, with girlfriend Jessica Szohr arriving even later.

But Rob and Kristen were over at Avenue, holding court at a table upstairs with a bodyguard making sure people gave them their privacy—but no such luck.

Rob, trying to go incognito, wore a baseball cap, while Kristen was smoking a cigarette (which is illegal). Unlike the movie, there was no Taylor Lautner around and Kristen only seemed to have eyes for Rob...

Time to roll out the pink carpet!

Even though CBS won't air the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show until Dec. 1, I can tell you all about the event going down tonight. There are some changes this year: the show has been moved back to New York City, and new mama Heidi Klum is telling everyone on the red carpet that she's just going to host—not walk the runway—this time around.

The Black Eyed Peas get the party started, hitting the stage to perform "Boom Boom Pow." Fergie's singing live and dancing up a storm as models strut in futuristic lingerie getups. Jay-Z is watching from the front row sans Beyoncé and looks impressed by Fergie's pipes.

After the group finishes "Meet Me Halfway," there's a surprise...

Hot mama Heidi Klum left her kids—and her heart—back in California to come host the Victoria's Secret fashion show in NYC today.

Klum's been a leggy fixture on the lingerie catwalk for years, but understandably this time around, it was hard for the mom of four to leave her little ones—including newborn Lou—back in L.A.

"It is, but tomorrow at noon, I'll be back home," Heidi said of her quickie trip to the Big Apple. "I take the first flight at 7:30!"

But as long as she's emceeing the sexy CBS special, there is one thing Heidi's really looking forward to...

Paris Hilton has taken over the rooftop of the Thompson Hotel tonight...literally.

In true Hilton style, the roof is decked out in pink, from the lighting to the bubbly, and the entire wall of the building is projecting commercials for her latest venture (and the reason for the party): The Celebrity Styler, a curling iron/brush/flat iron.

The event starts at 7 p.m.  A few My New BFF castoffs mug for the cameras before Paris' parents, Rick and Kathy, hit the carpet. At 7:36, the guest of honor arrives with boytoy Doug Reinhardt in tow. The couple takes a few quick photos before Doug bows out for P's solo shots.

Then its time for pics with her parents. Kathy is loving the cameras—like mother, like daughter—until a reporter informs her that daughter Nicky was in a minor fender bender...

It's Chloë Sevigny showing all that cleavage!

The Big Love star hit the Prada bash where Jessica Biel, Zoe Saldana, Rachel Zoe and Jessica Alba were also hanging.

Nobody seemed fazed by the major show of skin, according to one posh partyer. In fact, Saldana was wearing the exact same top, which was designed by Prada, natch.

Apparently, skin is in this season.

Now that John Mayer's turned 32, is he ready to stop being such a player?

Maybe.

While promoting his new album, Battle Studies, the notorious player (face it, his exes list reads like a Who's Who of Hollywood) said he actually wants to explore his picket-fence options with somebody special.

"Everybody wants to settle down," he told E! News. "If my first relationship had gone right, I'd be married by now and have babies. I'd be like 'I'm with my high school sweetheart.' "

Well obviously that didn't happen, but John also says all of his relationships had the potential to go all the way...

We already knew Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are big art buffs...but are they Lady Gaga fans too?

The famous, jewelry-designing duo left their six kids home and hit MOCA's 30th anniversary gala Saturday night, where they got a personal tour of the museum.

By the looks of things, they both seemed to be in a good mood. Angelina joked and smiled as a bearded Brad affectionately touched her arm. (So much for the trouble in paradise rumors.)

Viewing artwork up close wasn't the only thing VIP guests were treated to...
