Picturesque trainwreck Lindsay Lohan might not be able to afford many more lip injections if reports of getting dropped by her record label are true. And that's the good news!

According to FoxNews.com and the New York Post, not only has onetime singer Lohan been dropped by Casablanca Records, it has also been revealed that her high-profile (and widely panned) fashion gig for Ungaro is a freebie. The Post's Page Six column reports that Lindsay even paid for her own hotel and flight to Paris for her recent appearance for Ungaro's Paris Fashion Week show—though she did reportedly cart off $100,000 worth of Ungaro clothes.

What's a girl to do when her main job is a glorified internship? Well, what about a reality show?

So You Think You Can Dance's Cat Deeley deserves a spot among Ryan Seacrest, Jeff Probst and Heidi Klum as an Emmy nominee for Best Reality-Show Host. You've said it, we've said it to her and, apparently, she hears it all the time.

"That's the second time someone has said that to me, and I've only been here for about 20 minutes," the blond beauty told E! News at the G-Star Raw fashion show earlier this week. "But I'm going on Sunday!"

Sure enough, the leggy Brit is presenting on television's big night. And even though she's been on the Kodak Theatre stage before—SYTYCD's most recent finale was filmed there...

"I'm a little bit nervous about it, though," she confessed.

The tents at Bryant Park are being disassembled, and socialites everywhere are getting a foot rub. New York Fashion Week has come to a close.

This season brought bright colors and bold prints and even brighter, bolder celebrities.

From Lady Gaga performing at the Marc Jacobs afterparty to Mickey Rourke ogling "fat" models, stars—and the swarm of aggressive photographers that followed them—couldn't be avoided. So, we did what we do best. We mingled with them!

Taylor Swift told us what she thought of the Tommy Hilfiger show, Mad Men's January Jones explained Jon Hamm's appeal, and Emily Blunt talked about her hands (you know, the ones with the big rock from John Krasinski). And that's just the tip of the very swanky iceberg.

Who needs pants?!

Certainly not Gossip Girl's Taylor Momsen, who's been spotted around New York City over the past few weeks wearing crotch-skimming hemlines, garter belts and a scowl. Needless to say, the 16-year-old's risqué apparel has left the press, parents and fans in a bit of an uproar.

The starlet thinks they need to get over it.

"I don't care," she told E! News exclusively backstage at the G-Star Raw fashion show Tuesday night. "I think if everyone's going to be so upset about what I'm wearing, I'm like, well, maybe you should look at your life a little more. I don't know why you're so obsessed with mine."

To her, it's all about art.

Robert Pattinson may need to have a little chat with Jack Huston.

Eclipse's superhot newbie isn't anticipating having to face screaming fanggirls clawing, pushing, shoving and biting for his attention.

The actor plays Royce King II, the good-on-paper fiancé to Nikki Reed's Rosalie Cullen, in a flashback sequence.

"I don't think I will [face the madness] because of my part," he told E! News at the G-Star Raw fashion show. "I'm actually kind of a nasty guy. I'm her fiancé who ends up basically trying to rape her. It's rather horrible."

There's a chance we may never have met Royce and the small but meaty part may not have even existed were it not for David Slade taking a meeting with Huston.

"I went in to the director and he very sweetly wrote this part up for me," the actor admits. "It was kind of a nice compliment from him."

Now, as for those costars of his…

What's more fabulous than a fashion show?

A fashion show for Baby Phat by Kimora Lee Simmons, that's what!

Whenever the Life in the Fab Lane queen sends her trendy designs down a golden glittering runway, a slew of golden, glittering stars come out to play, and Tuesday night's Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week show at Roseland Ballroom in New York City was no exception.

In fact, this year, it was bigger than ever…literally. E!'s own Kim Kardashian took fans for a special tour of backstage that was projected, along with the Moroccan-themed show, on a JumboTron in the middle of Times Square.

"It went so well," Kim told E! News. "This show is like the hottest show of Fashion Week."

One attendee, actress Lisa Rinna, most likely left in high spirits. She said she came to see "a whole lot of attitude," and a sassy attitude—along with bright colors and oodles of gold—was exactly what she, Amber Rose, Djimon Hounsou, Russell Simmons, Ice-T and Coco saw.

The event concluded with a nod to Michael Jackson as the designer, true to form, brought her children, including newborn Kenzo Lee Hounsou, onto the catwalk to enjoy the cheering crowd.

Fashion Week is all about big debuts.

No, we're not just talking about clothing lines, although we, of course, were excited to see what Whitney Port's Whitney Eve and Avril Lavigne's Abbey Dawn had to offer. But the more exciting debuts this week have come in a much more human form.

This weekend, Sean Penn took his new gal-pal, Jessica White, for a stroll at Abe & Arthur's, and, just last night, Style star Kimora Lee Simmons carried her newborn, Kenzo Lee Hounsou, for his first trip down the runway.

But the most exciting and surprising of them all was Mickey Rourke trotting out 20-year-old model Cheyenne Tozzi for all the world to see at Max Azria.

She is skinny and gorgeous, and the 57-year-old (today!) couldn't keep his hands off her once she joined him in the front row—but before that, he admitted he was there for the models more than the clothes.

Asked how he preferred them, he told E! News, "Fat."

As for blondes or brunettes, "It depends on what I'm drinking," he said, taking a swig from a can of Diet Coke. When that's the beverage of choice, he says, "it doesn't matter.""

Needless to say, he was joking. Really, he was attending his second fashion show in 14 years to support the well-known designer. Sort of.

"I like little short guys," he says of Azria, "and he's got a beautiful wife."

Uh-oh.

What a weekend for New Yorkers!

With the MTV Video Music Awards, Fashion Week, the U.S. Open and all the star-studded parties that come with them, so much fun stuff went down.

Let's start with the leggy.

Newly separated (again!) Sean Penn stepped out with Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Jessica White to celebrate fellow catwalker Noemie Lenoir's birthday at new hot spot Abe & Arthur's on Saturday night.

The following evening, Jay-Z's sleek VMAs afterparty took over 1Oak and included guests from Rihanna and Beyoncé to Justin Timberlake and Jessica Alba.

Outside, however, things took a dustier turn when Diddy had a "misunderstanding," as his rep tells E! News, with some cops. Worry not, the NYPD says no arrests were made, and all related parties seem to think the situation was "blown out of proportion."

Don't expect a threesome with Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Kellan Lutz—or even just a lunch date—to happen anytime soon.

They don't hang.

"They're just so complex, and I like to laugh and smile," Twilight's Emmett Cullen told E! News at the W Hotel's lounge backstage at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week just before the Monarchy show.

As for everyone's favorite couple…

We kind of think Paris Hilton and Doug Reinhardt are a match made in celebutante history. She's from hotel parents, he's from frozen burritos. They both thrive on reality television and they're both, well, blond.

So, needless to say, we were excited when they reunited about a month ago after a brief hiatus because of something that happened at a bar (doesn't it always?). And yesterday, we were even more stoked when Doug told E! News they are "definitely stronger than ever."

But, alas, not everyone shares our sentiment.

When we asked Nicky Hilton at the Charlotte Ronson show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week if she was happy about them reuniting, she told us flat out.

"Ummm...no," she bluntly stated with a very straight face.

Yikes! Tell us how you really feel.
