For a second year in a row little Mrs. Russell Brand (AKA Katy Perry)hosted the 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards. Mega stars like Beyonce, the Jonas Brothers, and Shakira attended the show but first rocked the red carpet in style.

Pete Wentz strutted down the carpet with one smokey eye (we’re sure there is a good reason for this…right?!) and David Hasselhoff seemed to have just staggered his way into the event (sporting sequins no less).

Michelle Obama spoke at the 69th Annual American Ballet Theatre Spring Gala last night in New York’s Metropolitan Opera to a crowd of beautifully dressed dance enthusiasts, including such celebs as Renee Zellweger, Claire Danes and Kelly Ripa. “The arts are not just a nice thing to have or to do if there is free time or if one can afford it,” said the First Lady at an event at the Metropolitan Museum Of Art earlier that day. “Rather, paintings and poetry, music and fashion, design and dialogue, they all define who we are as a people and provide an account of our history for the next generation.”

The Cannes Film Festival is one of the most glamorous events of the year, taking place in the South of France among celebrities, caviar, diamonds, and yachts, but some stars seem to slip up when it comes to working the red carpet.
