The Male Moment at the MTV Movie Awards

Jewelry moments at the MTV Movie awards couldn't compete with the spray tans, blue wigs and the most talked about accessory of the night - Lindsay Lohan's alcohol-monitoring ankle bracelet - but I managed to find some sparkle on folks who are rarely in the mix:

The fellas.


Pairing statement necklaces with shirtless chic were Olympian Shawn White and comedian Russell Brand.



Puffy brought back the hip-hop medallion:


And Jersey Shore star, Pauly, took his stud status quite literally with an icy pair of square diamond earrings.


Men's jewelry trends range from the once ubiquitous diamond stud or dog tag pendant to leather cuffs and (the dreaded) pinky ring. But aside from the blinged out looks of guys like Lil Wayne or Fifty Cent - statement necklaces haven't really been popular as far as I know.

Maybe their time has come?

What do you think? Guys? Weigh in! And be sure to visit Jewelry.com for a round-up of the ladies' looks.

Jennifer Aniston & Courtney Cox: BFFs in Boring Black

The little black dress. It's timeless. It's elegant. But it's the equivalent of a 'forfeit' on the red carpet if you're an A-lister like Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox.

What's the rub? Once you've got syndication royalties rolling in you can throw in the fashion towel?

Aniston, in particular, wears basic, boring, black to nearly every movie premiere (perhaps she's in mourning for a good script) - and don't get me started on her (dare I say its name) 'pants suit' to the star-studded 'I'm Just Not That Into You' red carpet.

Every once in a while? Fine. But to every. single. friggin. event? Enough already!

But I digress. The leading ladies did look lovely at the recent Women In Film celebration in Century City this week (maybe it was a black and white dress code, who am I to judge?).

Loving the big hoop looks on these 'Friends', despite the basic black.


Hair jewelry is another hot trend I'm spotting like this sparkly headband on Emily Blunt (in BLACK Elie Saab):


And Zoe Saldana continues to hit it out of the park in a (white!) MaxMara gown with black and white diamond drops:


What are your thoughts on the basic black bonanza? Should I step away from the ledge and chillax? Who wore your favorite look? Weigh in!

Liza Launches Jewelry LIne

Divas and drag queens, get out your debit cards. Liza Minnelli is debuting her new jewelry and apparel line, The Liza Collection, with HSN on June 30th!


Like the ubiquitous stylist, Rachel Zoe, Liza 'loves herself a sequin' so you can be sure the line will be littered with big costume jewelry looks, flowy pants and lots of shimmer (check out Jewelry.com for more details).


I saw Liza on the Joy Behar Show the other night, and she was wearing several pieces from "The Liza Collection". I liked them - they seemed showy not tacky (just like their creator). She said she found her jewelry designing inspiration when she was recovering from knee replacement surgery and had time to kill in between physical therapy sessions.

So Liza gets bored, and we get another celebrity jewelry line.

Here's our Liza wearing her namesake gems at the Sex And The City 2 premiere:





And here are a few product shots:



So, jewelry hounds. What do you think? Will you be marking your calendars for June 30th (10pm EST)? My guess is she'll sell it like she does a good torch song. Better act fast.
