A very smiley Lea Michele was all about lending a hand to charity this week! The “Glee” darling was front and center as she took to the Hearst Tower to host the Valspar Hands For Habitat Unveiling Ceremony in NYC!

Ashlee Simpson played host for the big Samsung Galaxy S III event this week in the Big Apple! The songstress hung out with Nick Millhiser and Alex Frankel of Holy Ghost as paparazzi snapped away while they enjoyed the New York City launch!

Eva Longoria attended the Lay’s Potato Chips “Do Us a Favor” gig in New York City this week joined by Chef Michael Symon! The “Over Her Dead Body” hottie hosted the even in Times Square looking fab as always in a white dress and heels!

Ashley Tisdale made a very “pink” appearance at Macy’s Herald Square in New York City this week to help support the launch of Puma Project Pink- a very worthy cause dedicated to the fight against breast cancer! The 27-year-old was the host of the evening and an adorable host at that!

Where have you been, Rihanna? The Barbados beauty kicked off the weekend a bit early making her rounds in Capri, Italy! The superstar was joined by a couple of friends before the group dined at the exclusive II San Pietro restaurant.

Mad Men bad boy, Sam Page, was busy doting on his girlfriend of one year at the West Coast Launch of Carrera 6000. It seems that his real life personality does not reflect his character on the show; the onscreen player was busy attending to his blond beauty all night long. As he posed for photos, he always made sure that his girl was right beside him. She’s one lucky lady!

For all the Gleek’s out there, here’s a look at tonight’s Whitney Houston tribute on “Glee.”

Fox took the unusual step of pre-releasing all the songs in the Whitney tribute episode.  The members of New Directions will be rocking out to some of Whitney’s biggest hits:

1. “How Will I Know,” sung by Mercedes (Amber Riley), Santana (Naya Rivera), Kurt (Chris Colfer), and Rachel (Lea Michele)

2. “I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me),” sung by Brittany (Heather Morris) and Santana

3. “Saving All My Love for You,” sung by Quinn (Dianna Agron) and Joe (Samuel Larsen)

4. “So Emotional,” sung by Rachel and Santana

5. “It’s Not Right But It’s Okay,” sung by Blaine (Darren Criss)

6. “I Have Nothing,” sung by Kurt

7. “My Love Is Your Love,” sung by the New Directions

The iconic “I Will Always Love You” will not be featured in the episode because it was already sung during “Glee’s” Valentine’s Day episode.

You can see all of the Whitney covers on “Glee” tonight at 8pm on Fox.

James Franco lip-synced to Selena Gomez‘s “Love You Like A Love Song,” in a video he posted on WhoSay.  It could have been Gomez recording the video, and giggling at the end, as they are both in Florida filming the movie Spring Breakers.

Franco isn’t alone in his love of “Love You Like A Love Song” — it’s been reported that Lea Michele will be singing the song in an upcoming episode of ‘Glee.’

‘Glee’ star Lea Michele’s spring 2012 campaign for Candie’s launched today!

Titled “Hangin’ At Home,” the ads feature Lea making a mess in the kitchen, lounging by a pool, and being flirty in her bedroom.  The full multi-media campaign debuts this March.  Lea joins the ranks of Britney Spears, Fergie, Vanessa Hudgens, and others as the newest Candie’s spokesperson.

Candie’s is available exclusively at Kohl’s.  You can learn more by following Candie’s on twitter.

As Rachel on ‘Glee’, Lea Michele deals with teen bullying on a regular basis. Yet, what many don’t know is Lea was once the victim of bullying in real life as well…

The lovely starlet, who appears in the film ‘New Year’s Eve’ told Jay Leno that she was teased for her last name. Born Lea Sarfati, she was called “Lea So Fatty’ and “Lea So Farty” by her schoolmates. So when Lea went on her first audition she used the last name Michele instead.

Yet the former Broadway superstar hasn’t let criticism fuel her every move. She has publicly refused to undergo plastic surgery. Her exotic Jewish/Spanish heritage has granted her a unique appearance that she’s determined to keep, stating; “You don’t need to look like everybody else. Love who you are!”

Good for her! Love that!

The “Glee” set has seen cameos from a number of stars over the years including Britney Spears, John Stamos, Idina Menzel and more.

One of the stars of the show, Lea Michele (Rachel Berry), isn’t shy about admitting her fave!

“I just, I really love being surprised,”actress Lea Michele told MJ at the Mohegan Sun 15th Anniversary celebration last weekend. “I love when I open up a script and they’re like, by the way, next week’s episode is with Gwyneth Paltrow” she continued before gushing that Gwyneth is her favorite (so far!)

How do you get stars like Glee’s Lea Michele, Terrence Howard, Donnie Wahlberg, Nick Lachey (and wife Vanessa Minnillo) and more to the middle of Connecticut for a weekend?

Well, if you’re Mohegan Sun and you’re celebrating your 15th Anniversary, you invite the “creme de la creme” of celebs, media and even celeb chefs Bobby Flay and Todd English to experience a one-of-a-kid set by Jennifer “J. Lo” Lopez – performing in a skin tight head-to-toe Swarovski crystallized onesie!

The “American Idol” judge took the stage by storm performing many (or most) of her greatest hits with high energy. At one point though, J.Lo got a little choked up before paying homage to her lost loves (Diddy, Ben Affleck and finally and most recently Marc Anthony).

“You want to talk about love? I can talk about love. Oh, the stories!” she said during a heartfelt speech to the audience before breaking out with her hit “If You Had My Love.” Afterwards she said, “That’s the first song I wrote about love. And this is the last song I wrote about love. A lot has happened since then!”

Later in the night, stars like Kelly Bensimon. Jaime Pressly, Tinsley Mortimer (and boyfriend Brian Mazza) and Jesse Metcalfe partied the night away at the official after party deejayed by DJ Kiss.
