Usher and his pregnant fiancé, Tameka Foster, may have called off their wedding on Saturday in the Hamptons, but there were plenty of other celebs who had it going on in New York’s über-chic beach community. Read on for more about some star-studded Hamptons fundraisers...along with Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel's Hollywood happenings, and what Paris Hilton carried in her arms when she hopped a private plane to Las Vegas.

Kelly Ripa, Donna Karan and InStyle editor in chief Charla Lawhon hosted Super Saturday 10 at Nova’s Ark Project in Water Mill in the Hamptons. Super Saturday is like a big designer flea market benefiting the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. Shoppers like Mandy Moore, Bernadette Peters, Russell Simmons, Petra Nemcova, Christy Turlington and Edie Falco helped raise about $2 million by scooping up goods from Ralph Lauren, Gucci, Calvin Klein, Marc Jacobs, Vera Wang, Ferragamo, Diane von Furstenberg and Carolina Herrera.

Later that night, Oscar winner Forest Whitaker was one of the many boldface names who showed up at Russell Simmons’ house to help raise $1.4 million for the Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation, an arts program for disadvantaged urban youth. Also there were Nemcova, Deborah Cox, Ally Sheedy, Rocco DiSpirito, Nia Long and Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds.

Meanwhile, out in Vegas, I’m told Paris Hilton had some major Saturday night puppy love going on. I hear she brought two of her new dogs on the private plane she took from L.A. to Sin City for Fergie’s concert at the Pearl at the Palms Casino Resort. Ms. Hilton met up with her sister, Nicky, and her boyfriend, David Katzenberg, Mario Lopez, Macy Gray and Scott Speedman.

Speaking of the Hiltons, that was Nicky and Katzenberg hanging out with comedian Jeff Beacher while having dinner on Friday night at the Fix restaurant at the Bellagio.

Also in Vegas, Haylie Duff and Brody Jenner sure seemed like they were more than just friends when they got real cozy at the Stuff Casino Music Issue Weekend Party at Tao Beach Club.

E!’s very own Olly Girls from Sunset Tan were a hit in Vegas on Friday at the tops-optional Bare pool lounge at the Mirage. They sipped strawberry mojitos and snacked on shrimp lettuce cups. FYI: They kept their tops on.

Here in L.A., I've already told you about Britney Spears' tipless ways last night at One Sunset. Further east in Hollywood, Spears’ ex, Justin Timberlake, and his new gal, Jessica Biel, hit Parc. The lovebirds were with a gaggle of Timberlake’s dancers. While the "SexyBack" singer kept some distance between himself and Biel while leaving the hot spot, a fellow diner tells me that inside they “were very cute and affectionate.”

I’m told Timberlake & Co. ordered the entire menu.

Up the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, a Sunday night bash at the Polaroid House for Entourage brought out  series stars Jeremy Piven, Kevin Connolly and Rex Lee, along with James Woods and Liv Tyler.

The night before, at the nearby LG Malibu Beach House, a hodgepodge of celebs competed in a charity poker tournament benefiting Yancey Arias' Lives to Save Foundation, which helps victims of Hurricane Katrina. Players included Danny Masterson, Janet Jackson’s ex-hubby René Elizondo and The Kill Point star Donnie Wahlberg.
