Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt (Wireimage)Sometimes, it's a woman's job to stand by her man. Sometimes, it's the other way around.

Monday evening, Angelina Jolie, 37, came forward in an op-ed piece in the New York Times about having a gene that increases her chances of developing breast cancer by 87 percent, and her choice to have a double mastectomy. Tuesday morning, her fiancé Brad Pitt gave her a very public round of applause.

"Having witnessed this decision firsthand, I find Angie's choice, as well as so many others like her, absolutely heroic," he told the London Evening Standard. "I thank our medical team for their care and focus."

Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson in 2005 (Getty Images)It's been 10 years since Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson first invited us into their home on MTV's "Newlyweds," seven years since their divorce was finalized … and six years since they last spoke.

Lachey and his 98 Degrees bandmates appeared on "Watch What Happens Live" Tuesday night, and the singer was put in the hot seat when host Andy Cohen asked the 39-year-old when he last spoke to his ex-wife.

Here's the thing about the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala: People sometimes wear costumes.

And with a theme of "Punk: Chaos to Couture," the looks were bound to go in an especially costume-y direction. That worked out pretty well for some (Madonna, we're looking at you). For others, not so much.

When it came to makeup, several stars seemed to have missed a very important memo: Halloween is in October. This is May.

Not sure how that message could've gotten lost in the mail, but for stars like Ginnifer Goodwin and Lily Collins, it did. It really did.

Collins, who is known for her strong brow, went even stronger and paired them with some serious "Black Swan"-like shadow. Meanwhile, Goodwin went so dark from the edge of her eyelid up to her brow, it was frighteningly difficult to tell hair from skin.

I've no problem with Ginnifer Goodwin's Tory Burch dress, but who did her makeup? A racoon? #MetBall2013

Cameron Diaz at the 2013 Met Gala (Stephen Lovekin/FilmMagic)Cameron Diaz must've had a hard time finding anyone to dance with her at Monday night's Met Gala.

As pretty as she looked -- a vision in cobalt Stella McCartney, really -- we can't imagine anyone would really want to sidle up to the frighteningly large, spiked belt wrapped around her waist.

The dress seemed demure enough with a reverse cape-like creation draped over her shoulders and all, but the sharp metal in the middle was enough to torture someone "Game of Thrones" style.

Diaz, 40, kept the studded motif going all the way down to her toes, where she rocked a pair of platform stud sandals.

At least the "Bad Teacher" actress knew what she was talking about when it came to the punk theme, unlike many of her contemporaries.

Anne Hathaway at the 2013 Met Gala (Stephen Lovekin/FilmMagic)Remember when everyone flipped out after Anne Hathaway chopped off her long, flowing locks? Well, hold on to your hats, people.

Girl. Is. Blond.

The 30-year-old Oscar winner, whose brunette coif has pretty much remained the same color for all of her storied career, turned up at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala in New York City rocking a brand new hue to go with her vintage Valentino.

No word yet if any particular project inspired such a change, but the drastic measure certainly was in line with the evening's punk theme. In fact, the star claimed her inspiration for the night was rocker Debbie Harry.

We can't help but wonder if the move will inspire dozens of women to grab for the bleach. Hathaway's short pixie cut – shorn for her statuette-scoring

Amanda Bynes is still lashing out at publications who use older photos of her, but at least now she's explaining why it's so frustrating to her. The reason? Plastic surgery.

We can't say we didn't suspect that the 27-year-old had had some work done, but we appreciate her coming clean about it.

"The reason I've asked all magazines and blogs to stop using old photos of me is I don't look like that anymore," she wrote on Twitter. "I had a nose job to remove skin that was like a webbing in between my eyes."

Jennifer Lopez on the set of her 'Live It Up' video (Splash News)Popping and locking are the kinds of things you expect from the set of a Jennifer Lopez music video. Not gunshots.

J.Lo and Pitbull were filming a clip for "Live It Up" at the Fort Lauderdale Beach Park Sunday night when the shots were heard nearby. The Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel reports that the singer was secured in her car immediately as Fort Lauderdale police were called to investigate the incident in a parking long just north of the set.

Nina Dobrev (Getty Images)Waking up early is never easy, but getting out of bed Friday morning was a little easier for us knowing that we'd be starting our day with Nina Dobrev.

Still, the experience was harrowing. When we arrived at the Origins store in the Flatiron District in New York City for the launch of their new GinZing Energy-boosting moisturizer, we realized just how unfair the world can be: The 24-year-old "Vampire Diaries" starlet looked ready to step on the red carpet for a primetime premiere, complete with Jimmy Choo shoes and a chic and trendy midriff-revealing ensemble by Thakoon.

Needless to say, we just had to know how she did that. Unlike Katherine and Elena on her show, she was nice enough to give us a few pointers.

Don't dilly-dally when the alarm goes off. It always helps to "wake up and start your day right away," Dobrev told omg!. "I sleep on my stomach so all the water goes into my face and I get really puffy in the mornings. I have to wake up early and let everything drain and do
