After the traditional walk on the red carpet and all the winners are announced, the only thing left to do for all the guests of this year’s Academy Awards is to party! There were only two parties after this famous event, the AIDS Foundation party hosted by Elton John and Graydon Carter’s the annual Vanity Fair party.

Both parties attracted an equal number of glamorous celebrities and some of the new faces that were welcomed on the red carpet for the first time this year.

From many extravagant and fabulous outfits presented at the Academy Awards this year we could surely point out a few that caught the eyes of paparazzi.  Hillary Swank in an extravagant dress with an open décolleté, Salma Hayek in an astonishing mini dress with digital print, a masterpiece of the late Alexander McQueen, Natalie Portman looking young as always in a short grey dress, and Kate Bosworth showing her high class style with a bright pink dress. However, if there would be an Oscar for the most gorgeous dress it would surely fall into the hands of Victoria Beckham. Famous Posh wore a truly magical gown which presented her own, recently launched fashion label, and was spotted at Elton John’s Oscar after party.

At the beginning of February, their frontman Will.I.Am gave an interview to MTV news in which he stated that Black Eyed Peas’ The E.N.D. world tour 2010 (aka The Energy Never Dies Tour) will have many special features and flying goodies. Well, this time they really have done it! The whole performance at Madison Square Garden was dressed up in cyber style and it definitely lived up to its tour name.

As the thundering bass of "Let's Get It Started" echoed throughout the place, Apl.de.Ap jumped on stage followed by Fergie and Taboo, all dressed in shiny silver, out-of-space outfits. The cloud of smoke then covered the stage and Will.I.Am made his appearance dressed up as futuristic Phantom of the Opera.

"Let's get it started!" Fergi’s amazing voice filled the arena as the lights emitted into the crowd. A truly breathtaking performance was about to start...

During the weekend Paris Hilton celebrated her 29th birthday @ Tao nightclub, a famous nightspot located in Las Vegas. Being at the spotlight, Paris was in a company of her parents, Kathy and Rick Hilton and Doug Reinhardt, her boyfriend. Can you guess what kind of shape her giant birthday cake had?

Shoe boxes! Isn’t that a surprise!

Paris attends most of the exclusive parties and is almost a daily headline in the gossip press. We can’t really say she minds it. During her birthday party her ex Brandon Davis arrived unexpectedly and the party turned into chaos as Doug Reinhardt got him thrown out, after a fight he had with Paris. Good thing is that Paris knows how to patch things up so by the end of the evening both she and Doug had a smile on their faces.
