Ho ho ho holidays are here! It's official, I just heard El Burrito Sabanero on the radio so it's time to get ready and bring out that holiday swag. This year it's all about shine and elegance so whether you're going to impress the parents or get loose at the club, I got you covered.

Looking like a million bucks in this economy is easier than you think with so many beautiful holiday dresses for under $50 bucks!

One of the biggest recurring trends of the season is sequin and shine. You can spice up the trend by choosing darker colors like Paris Hilton did during Art Basel in Miami Beach. Mixing fabric textures also works for this trend, check out this crimson red sequin and mesh dress- perfect for New Year's.

You can also rock the traditional gold by combining it with neutral colors or dark colors like black, this is one of my favorite looks. If you want to go the golden route then check out this dress from AKIRA its only $44.90.

Think your little black dress can't work for these occasions? Think again. The little black dress is not only an essential for the rest of the year but with a few add-ons it can become the perfect holiday dress. One of the biggest LBD trends to walk runways and red carpets was cut-out patterns.

Olivia Wilde donned this beautiful dress with a center cut-out proving that you can show skin without being tacky. You can re-create this look with this black dress from ModCloth for only $49.99.

Cut-outs aren't the only way to show some skin, adding lace and see through fabrics to a black dress are great ways to liven things up. One of my favorite trends is to pair embellished skirts with see through tops like this one. If you're headed to an office party, simple lace dresses like this one from Nordstroms ($42) are perfect.

Refinery 29 provides complete outfit ideas from bags to shoes and this outfit combination is perfect for a sophisticated night out. For those of you who like DIY fashions, check out this dress that was transformed with nothing but some lace, a collar and ribbon inspired by Alexa Chung.

If you want to stand out from the crowd then add some color to your outfit. A pop of color is easily the best way to get noticed, you just have to choose the color that best suits the occasion. Zoe Saldana wows in this fitted yellow dress from Michael Kors but you can recreate the look for much less with a fitted dress or a full skirt like this beautiful orange-red dress from H&M.

Of course you can't forget to accessorize your holiday outfit! Your accessories should be able to stand out and add that wow factor to your outfit (be careful to not over accessorize).

Refinery 29 also has a whole assortment of ideas for all of the upcoming holiday madness. So whether you celebrate Christmas, Hannukah or Kwanzaa there is no excuse to not look hot this holiday season. I know I'm ready to dance the night away to some merengue and ring in the new year right.

What are you planning to wear?

Scarlett Johansson is no stranger to the spotlight, but earlier this month the Avengers star was placed onto a very uncomfortable stage by a group of dangerous hackers. Right before Johansson's scheduled trip to East Africa, these hackers allegedly broke into her phone and leaked private nude photos of the star on the Internet.

The actress, 26, has never appeared fully nude in a film and instead of ignoring the situation has taken to the media to defend her right to privacy. She sat down for an interview with CNN while in Kenya for the first time since the photos were divulged and was adamant about the right to privacy for all, even high-profile celebrities such as herself.

Johansson said,

"Who doesn't want to protect their own privacy? Just because you're an actor or make films or whatever doesn't mean you're not entitled to your own personal privacy. If that is sieged in some way, if feels unjust. It feels wrong."

She hasn't been the only one to get hacked; other celebrities like Paris Hilton and Disney darling Vanessa Hudgens have all been the victims of hackers. But unlike these other celebrities, Johansson saw the opportunity to use the situation as a precautionary tale to others and as a platform to take a stand against these hackers.

As soon as these photos hit the web, the actress fought back with the help of the FBI and a group of skillful lawyers. The question remains, who are the hackers? And how exactly were they able to get access to this sort of personal information? One thing is sure, these hackers better watch out because ScarJo is not backing down!

Putting the issue of her nude photos aside, the beautiful actress got back to business and acted upon her duties as ambassador for Oxfam. An active ambassador since 2004, she traveled to Kenya to stress the intensity of human suffering happening in many parts of Africa. She documented her experiences on CNN and the Huffington Post and by doing so, hopes to spread the word on the urgency for change in Africa.

This was a life changing experience for Johansson, who was deeply touched by all of the stories and people she encountered in refugee camps. She reveals,

"What struck me the most is the fact that people are just surviving, they are sort of in a state of limbo."

ScarJo is just another incredible example of how the power of fame can be used to help others in need. Maybe other celebrities will start taking cues from this amazing movie star (Paris Hilton anyone?).

Check out Scarlett's adventures in Kenya!

It looks like Erik Estrada can rest easy, L.A.'s dreaded "CARmageddon" turned out to be quite lackluster by all accounts. Fears ran high Friday night with the closure of the city's popular 405 Freeway, but when all was said and done, there was very little traffic trouble. Of course, that didn't stop southern California's famous celebs from chiming in on the issue.

"Not gonna lie -loving LA during this #Carmageddon scare -there is zero traffic. It's like LA at xmas peace n quiet EVERYWHERE!" Jessica Alba tweeted.

"LA should shut down the 405 fwy more often...there is NO traffic! #Carmageddon is awesome. :-)" came from Katherine McPhee’s Twitter account.

And Tru Calling star Eliza Dushku wrote,

"Bulls--t media. Barely 3 cars on the road this a.m went 4 pancakes."

In all honesty, the effects of CARmaggedon were far less drastic than expected. Possibly because several motorists skipped town, opting to try their luck in cities like Las Vegas and San Diego.

Kim Kardashian made her escape to Mexico, but still checked in with her L.A. tweeters to see how the freeway situation was holding up.

"So LA, how's the traffic? I'm so curious if its as bad as everyone imagined it to be w the 405 closed!" she wrote.

Monte Carlo star Katie Cassidy also ducked out of the city for a "mini-vacation," albeit not very far.

"At Disneyland! Thanks to #Carmageddon" she wrote.

Several other high-profile Californians preferred to keep their weekend indoors.

"Hey LA, who's scared of Carmageddon? I'm not leaving my house to drive anywhere this weekend. Traffic is going to be #bRutal!" Paris Hilton wrote.

Tom Hanks posted a similar amusing tweet,

"This weekend, LA! Avoid Carmageddon, Gas-zilla, 405-enstein, Grid-lock-apalooza! STAY HOME. Eat & shop local! Hanx."

By 11:30am on Sunday, the dreaded freeway closure was all over. Appearing on the local news, L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa happily announced that the construction work had finished, ending CARmageddon a full 18 hours early.

But before all of you California locals get too excited, keep in mind that the same stretch of the 405 will be closed for one more weekend 11 months from now.

We know, it's tough getting back into the normal grind after a fun-filled holiday weekend. This past 4th of July delivered big fireworks, smoky BBQs and plenty of lounging in the summer sun. And for the paparazzi, it brought celebrity hookups, star-studded bikini shots, and lots of Tuesday morning chisme.

One of the most interesting snaps posted on gossip sites over the weekend was of Paris Hilton and Hangover Part II director Todd Phillips. The newly-single socialite and the 40-year-old filmmaker were caught smooching at a private beach party in Malibu, CA.

Also spotted together in Malibu were "besties" Ashley Tisdale and Zac Efron. The two High School Musical stars were seen hugging, dancing, and playing in the waves at a party that DID NOT have Efron-ex, Vanessa Hudgens, on the invitee list. Reps for both stars continue to assert that the two are "just friends."

Over on the east coast, celebrity couple Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez partied in a 155-foot yacht off the coast of New York. As special guests of music mogul Russell Simmons, the two seemed to have the run of the ship and, according to eyewitnesses, relished every minute of it.

"They were messing around. They showed affection," a gossip spy told ContactMusic.com. "[Bieber] took off his shirt [and began] playing patty-cake with Selena."

As expected, the Independence Day tweets were in full-effect too. Dozens of celebs sent out patriotic posts to their millions of followers.

"Happy 4th of July to my home! Be back soon to kiss you USA! Off to Singapore. Thank you to the 40,000 monsters who gathered to see our show," Lady Gaga wrote.

"Happy Independence Day! What are you doing today?" came from J. Lo's Twitter account.

"Happy 4th of July everyone!!!! Have fun today and be safe!!! Xoxo," Kim Kardashian tweeted.

Other 4th well-wishers included The Jonas Brothers, Britney Spears, and Eva Longoria. But perhaps our favorite tweet came from Sofia Vergara, who wrote,

"Feliz 4th of July!!" along with the very sexy twitpic you can see above.

How did you spend 4th of July weekend? Sound off in the comments or @MTV3.

Last month, we did a brief recap of several high-profile Mother's Day shout outs. And seeing how this past Sunday was devoted to Papá, we thought it would be fun to share a bit of the Father's Day love that circulating across the web.

Checking the Twitterverse, it was clear that there was no shortage of Daddy posts. Jessica Alba made sure to acknowledge her hubby Cash Warren, who's about to become a father for the second time.

"#happyfathersday @Cash_Warren no matter how much u do 2 get on my last nerve… I love u so much & ur an amazing papa. K I’m done being nice," she posted.

Paris Hilton used the social network to announce a brunch that she was celebrating with her dad, Rick.

"Having breakfast with my dad. Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's out there! Love Paris xoxo"

And even though Pitbull's father sadly passed away in 2006 (and was the focus of his last Armando album), it was clear that Mr. 305 was thinking about him and all the other dads yesterday.

"Happy father’s day my brothers," he posted.

Other famous tweeters who sent dad shout outs included Justin Bieber, Kim Kardashian, and Britney Spears. For Mario Lopez, Sunday was an extra special occasion. It marked his first official Father's Day and he sent out an adorable twitpic of his new daughter (above) to commemorate it.

"Gia Francesca and daddy celebrating their 1st Fathers Day!" he posted.

And what did Hollywood's most infamous papa do yesterday? As we all know, Arnold Schwarzenegger has a new son to celebrate the holiday with, but he didn't spend it with his Mildred Baena's love child. Rather, the "governator" was spotted having lunch with his son Christopher.

Paris Hilton's new reality show The World According To Paris (Wednesday nights, Oxiygen) threw disappointing ratings and a controversy involving Barbara Walters, a producer, and a cancelled press day. Apparently, according to RATINGS, the world doesn't want to see Paris!

Less than 400,000 tuned in to watch the premiere, and if ratings don't improve it could get the ax.

Let me just start by saying that this show's producer must be Paris's ultimate friendnemy. Why? Well, for starters, any member of the audience that couldn't stand Paris in the past, will absolutely hate her this time around!

In The World According to Paris the real Paris Hilton is revealed with a vengeance. She is not cute, or funny, or hot… In this show, Paris and her BFF’s  (Including Charlie Sheen’s ex, Brooke Mueller) are mean spirited, vicious, spoiled brat that yell at assistants, mistreat servants and bad mouth everyone around them. The show is way beyond boring, it's actually sad!

The actress, who has shown and spoken about her remorse regarding the infamous sex tape in 2003, (most recently with CNN's Pierce Morgan) seems to contradict herself appearing taking gratuitous hot tub baths in her Beverly Hills Mansion that do not seem to add any crucial information to the show’s storyline.

As if disrespecting everyone but her grandmother on the show wasn't enough, Paris thinks the audience and the ladies of The View are nothing short of stupid.

When promoting her reality TV mess on The View and asked about what this reality show had different from all of the other options out there, Paris replied, "THIS ONE is not scripted at all".

Well Paris, when quotes on the show include gems such as this one: "All you have to do in life is go out with your friends, party hard and look better than the b***h next to you”, trust me girl, just say it's scripted… You're better off!

Regardless, how can she even suggest it’s not scripted when the whole show is narrated in a cheese voice over by her?

It's that tendency of Paris of believing she can get away with lying and cursing and behaving like a brat, what has made her less and less likeable through out the years.

Even Barbara Walters and Whoopi Goldberg grilled her at their show.

Walters criticized Hilton for complaining on camera about her 200 hours of community service. She also questioned that if indeed she was such a do-gooder. "Why not present that side of yourself, if indeed it exists?",  Walters asked.

An evidently tense and uncomfortable Hilton rolled her eyes, and rumor has it that after the show both Hilton and her father Rick scolded a The View producer as they were very upset at the tone of the interview.

A rep of the show confirmed the very uncomfortable incident.

Apparently Hilton was so distraught that she went on to a night of heavy partying and the next day cancelled all press interviews claiming she had a cold and could be contagious.

This morning, Paris's mom appeared on The Today Show hoping to do some damage control… But unfortunately social media and online comments are uncontrollable at this point!

This Wednesday we'll see if they can pick up some more viewers…

Will you watch The World According to Paris?

Watch out who you cut off in traffic. If you’re famous and you’re not careful, you may just get an arsenal of vitriolic tweets headed your way. That’s exactly what happened to Paris Hilton after she nearly hit actress Sarah Shahi with her car!

"Worst driver ever," Shahi posted. "Almost hit me, then ran a stop sign. What if there was a kid around the corner, you dumb b----."

If that really did happen, it’s hard to blame Sarah for the rant. The incident seemed to upset the Fairly Legal star so much that she fired off even more Hilton hate to the twitterverse.

"I wouldn't be as pissed if I weren't a mom," Shahi, went on to tweet. "What an irresponsible person. What a lame existence."

She went on to label Paris a "blonde piece of sh--," and called her “a horrible excuse for a human being.”

Looking at the evidence, we may have to side with Shahi on this one. Back in 2006, Paris was arrested for driving under the influence and The Stir is reporting that she once got busted for going 70 mph in a 30-mile zone. Plus knowing her love for SUVs, we can only imagine the kind of damage Hilton could do behind the wheel if she’s not careful.

We’ll still give Paris a chance to tweet her case (so far there have been no responses to Shahi), as long as she doesn't do it while driving.

Is it us, or is Mexico City becoming the new hotspot for celebrities to unveil their wares? Earlier this month, Jennifer Aniston launched her perfume at the city's St. Regis Hotel, and now Paris Hilton made a high-profile appearance in the country's capital to debut a new shoe line.

Stepping out in a beige sleeveless dress, the socialite praised her company’s glossy high-heels and, of course, herself.

"There's so many people out there who try to imitate what I do, but I am the original," Paris said. "There is nothing like me."

Hmmm, could that be a slight dig at former BFF Kim Kardashian? Once the ultimate media darling, Paris has fallen out of the limelight in the past few years. Now, with Kim constantly in the media, many have said that Hilton has lost a little bit of her reality TV luster.

Not that it bothers the 30-year-old hotel heiress. Now touting herself as a “businesswoman,” Hilton went on to describe her many projects, which include real estate ventures, running nightclubs and a new World According to Paris television show on the Oxygen channel.

"I have done everything that I wanted to do and I feel very blessed that I have been very successful on every area," she said.

Even so, it can't hurt to throw in a few plus for your products. Before the press conference ended, Paris made multiple mentions of her fragrance line, handbag business, and, of course, that lovely line of shoes.

It may be the #1 search engine on the planet, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t a few specific words that don’t agree with Google. Terms like “pornographer” and “panties” we understand, but “Latina?” Yup, believe it or not, that word is now officially banned by Google.

Now don’t get us wrong, your computer won’t explode if you type “Latina” in a Google search. But as an experiment, punch it in and you’ll notice that the term gets cut off the second you hit the “a.” Similarly, swap in an “o” for “Latino” and you’ll see a host of search options appear after your word.

So is Google sexist or what? Well, not quite. It seems the word “Latina” has been connected to numerous adult-oriented searches, which the company strongly discourages. Other terms they believe are tied to the genre, like “lesbian”, “teen”, and even “Paris Hilton” got axed as well.

So far, The Daily Beast has uncovered a total of 15 terms that have been officially blacklisted. And before you get all heated up about Googling stars like Penelope Cruz and Salma Hayek Pinault, keep in mind that Blogamole has a nice little Search window right there at the top of the screen…and we never discriminate!

What will our favorite GTL-practicing, fist-pumping, and grenade-ditching "Jersey Shore" cast do come Fall? Looks like resident bad-ass and 'keep it real' vixen JWoww will be stripping down to pose for Playboy!

When E!Online caught up with the MTV reality starlet, Jenni admitted she was close to finalizing the deal to strip down for the adult mag this winter.

"Final offer is standing. Hopefully, it will go through."

Just how much could JWoww stand to earn from the deal? A reported $400, 000!!!

Wondering how much she'll actually show? While her MTV contract may prohibit Ms. Farley from baring all, we're pretty sure the assets JWoww's famous for will make a full frontal cameo! Hey, she bought them for a reason!

This is the first of many offers for JWoww since she and her roommates garnered overnight success with the popular Thursday night show. While Jenni's turned down a few reality show offers, she is considering one with NBC. Could she and Snooki be the next Paris and Nicole? Only time will tell!

Will you buy JWoww's Playboy issue? Sound off in the comments, or @MTV3.
