All sorts of celebrities flocked to Churchill Downs to celebrate the 139th running of the Kentucky Derby, where Orb took the win.

Lance Bass, Lauren Conrad, Jason Biggs, Tiki Barber, Scottie Pippin, Kid Rock, Krysten Ritter, Joey Fatone, Miranda Lambert, Star Jones, Jason Biggs, Jenny Mollen, Christian Siriano, Carson Kressley, Jai Rodriguez and supermodel Coco Rocha were among the stars who walked the red carpet and signed a 6-liter bottle of Moet & Chandon Imperial for the brand’s ‘Sign for the Roses’ philanthropic initiative, which raises money for the Churchill Downs foundation.

Though it was pouring down rain, the celebrity attendees stayed dry on the tent covered red carpet, which provided shelter from storm.

Jennifer Hudson and Tom Brady were spotted in Millionaire’s Row but neither decided to walk the red carpet.

After the jump, celebrities sound off on their Kentucky Derby first experiences and fashion!

It’s that “most wonderful time of the year” time of year and… you’re procrastinating sorting out your holiday gifts, aren’t you? And who doesn’t have those one or two people who are really, really difficult to shop for?! I know I do.

So that is why I am sooooooo thrilled to be an American Express ambassador for their #PointsForPresents Holiday program this year!

American Express helps ease the pain of shopping by allowing their Cardmembers to earn and use Membership Rewards points.

Olympic gymnast Gabrielle Douglas has won support from the World!

Everyone from Raven Symone, to Gabrielle Union, to the Diva Queen Beyoncé herself has taken to social media to sing the praise of the 16-year-old gymnast! You go girl!

The flood of good words has come after Douglas won the gold medal in the women’s gymnastics all around competition at the London 2012 Olympics. Douglas helped the US women’s gymnastic squad take home their first gold medal in the team competition since 1996! Douglas is the first African-American Olympic champion in all-around gymnastics, and also the third U.S. gymnast in a row to take home the all-around gold medal! That’s the way to do it!

Congrats to Gabrielle, and here’s to many more golds!

Nicole Richie (pictured above), joined smiley volunteers in celebrating the Bing Summer of Doing, a summer-long campaign aimed at inspiring young people to give back and volunteer in their local community during their free time this summer, by helping Bing and DoSomething.org beautify and restore the CITYarts Mosiac Peace Wall in the heart of Harlem, NY.

Richie was joined by some other notable names looking to “do something” good, including model Karlie Kloss, EXTRA’s Maria Menounos, photographer and TV personality Niguel Barker, and Kat Graham (who performed a special surprise set).

The campaign, which kicked off in June at Heart of Los Angeles with Cody Simpson and Hilary Duff, continued at Osborne High School in Atlanta with Ludacris and Keri Hilson.

Spice Girls Mel C, Mel B, Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell and Emma Burton have reunited in London for the launch of the new stage musical, Viva Forever! for the first time since their tour in 2008. Viva Forever! centers around four women whose friendships are tested when their band competes on a TV talent competition show. The show will feature  some of our favorite of the hit 90′s group’s songs such as “Wannabe,” “Spice Up Your Life,” and “Mama.”

Halliwell commented on the show: “Sixteen years ago when we were writing the words ‘zig-a-zig-ah,’ we could never have imagined they would be in a West End show.”

Viva Forever! is produced by Judy Cramer who is also behind Abba musical Mama Mia! The show set to open on Dec. 11 at London’s Piccadilly Theatre.

We can’t wait to hear the soundtrack!
