Celebrities are falling for fall fashions, and you will too!
"Extra" headed over to the Los Angeles boutique Sugar to find the four hottest trends that will keep you styling like a star without breaking the bank.
Number one is pretty in plaid.
"Plaid is definitely making a resurgence," dished store owners Jeanette Chivvis and Kelly West, who showed us how to get Sarah Jessica Parker and Nicky Hilton's plaid look.

He's got more than just an Oscar; Russell Crowe's got range!
In his latest movie, "A Good Year," the Academy Award winner teams up again with "Gladiator" director Ridley Scott for a very un-"Gladiator"-like romantic dramedy.
It was only one week ago on The Animal Planet that Crowe gave a tearful farewell to his friend and fellow Aussie, Steve Irwin.
"Some people see him as just a funny bloke on the TV, and he was a funny bloke on the TV, but he was really serious about what he did," Crowe explained.

Old world glamour and a new world glamour girl collided Tuesday night at Jessica Simpson's "Employee of the Month” premiere in Los Angeles.
Jessica wore polka dot de la Renta to her Los Angeles premiere and co-star Dane Cook wore a vintage suit.
But the sexy starlet assured us the pair's matching outfits were not planned, just saying, "We do have some of the same peeps.”
"I feel wonderful tonight,” Jessica added. "I feel just free and fresh."


So is it getting colder where you live? Yeah, the same thing's going on here in Vegas. Instead of 114 degrees during the day, it's now in the low 90's. So even though the leaves are changing all over the country, we've still got perfect pool weather in Sin City.
That being said, allow me to introduce you to the latest fad in pool action on the Strip: the European Style Pool. Do you, uh, follow me? Do you get what I'm sayin' here? I'll spell it out for you if I have to… They're tops-optional pools.
Mandalay Bay's got one. So does The Wynn. Heck, even The Stratosphere is going topless on its 25th floor. But what is the best European Style Pool in Vegas? That would be The Venus Pool at Caesar's Palace.

Word shot all across Hollywood Tuesday that Paramount Studios is courting superstar Brad Pitt to take over the lucrative "Mission Impossible" franchise, which recently cut ties with Tom Cruise.
The deal would have reportedly made Brad Hollywood's highest paid actor with a $40 million paycheck.
We went straight to our sources at the studio, as wells as Brad's reps, to get the bottom of the "MI:4" buzz.

For the eyes: Use white eyeliner to accent the corners of the eyes. White makes them pop, creating bigger, brighter and sexier eyes. In addition, add blush to the wide lifts of the eye, contouring downwards to the T-zone of the nose. Don’t use white eye shadow.
For the cheeks: Gone are the days of full side-swept blush. Instead, use a rosy hue to accent the apple of the cheek for a healthy glow. If you use too much blush, you’ll just look flushed!
For the lips: Long gone are the days of full lip liners. Instead, focus on the outer edges of the lips and add some gloss to make them pop, creating a look of plump and luscious puckers!

Emotions ran unchecked north of the border, as fans screamed for Demi Moore, husband Ashton Kutcher, Sharon Stone and an overwhelmed Emilio Estevez at the Toronto Film Festival premiere of "Bobby."
Emilio dropped by "Extra" to talk about his comeback making tale of Robert Kennedy's 1968 assassination at the Ambassador Hotel.
"It's a very personal picture, it came from my heart," Estevez confided.

Sharon Stone got candid with "Extra," opening up about finding Mr. Right, motherhood and her critically acclaimed new film, "Bobby."
"It's an extraordinary film," Sharon promised. "When I first saw the film, I thought, ‘Wow.'"
"Bobby" received a standing ovation at the Toronto Film Festival this week, but Sharon gave all the praise to her co-star, Demi Moore: "Her performance in this film… well, you'll see."
The other movie that holds a special place in Sharon's heart is "Milarepa," a film about a Tibetan mystic made by Buddhist monks. All proceeds from "Milarepa" go to help orphans in the Himalayans.

Daytime's dancing queen just landed the hottest gig in Hollywood, and "Extra's" Jon Kelley stopped by the set of Ellen's daytime talk fest to chat about her date with Oscar next February.
"It's something I always wanted to do, and I'm honored they asked me to do it," Ellen said. "To feel like someone's putting that kind of show in your hands and trusting you and saying, 'We think you're able to do this,' you can't get a bigger compliment than that."
And the compliments keep on coming.
"Today, I got flowers from Steven Spielberg saying what a smart choice that was and congratulations to the academy," Ellen revealed.
DeGeneres is no stranger to hosting awards shows. "The Emmys were definitely hard," she revealed. "But the Grammys were just fun because it's music. I want the show to be really, really funny, but I want to celebrate it. I don't want to be cynical about it."
