This is a battle royale ladies and gents! Jenni "JWoww" Farley and Michelle Trachtenberg were both spotted hitting the red carpet in the same royal purple In Add Minus gown. Question is ... did the "Jersey" girl or the "Gossip Girl" wear it better?

Surprising pretty much anyone who has ever watched her on TV, or seen a snapshot of her parading down a red carpet in one of her usual trashy getups, "Jersey Shore" star Jenni "JWoww" Farley looked almost unrecognizable when she made an appearance at a GNC store in New York last December in the purple Grecian gown. JWoww accessorized with a wide studded belt, huge amethyst rings, metallic peep-toe heels, and subtle makeup.

One month earlier, "Gossip Girl's" Michelle Trachtenberg donned the same one-shoulder In Add Minus dress for the fashion brand's official store opening in Los Angeles. Trachtenberg opted for a narrow gold-embellished belt, silver heels, and a simple, center-parted 'do.

While Michelle has had a long history of scoring

Ben and Violet Affleck grab a sweet treat in Santa Monica. - London Entertainment/Splash NewsDisplaying sexy dark scruff, Ben Affleck took his wife Jennifer Garner and their daughter Violet to Menchie's in Santa Monica for a frozen yogurt treat on Wednesday. The adorable 5-year-old was sporting bright pink frames which perfectly matched her girly pink sandals. Too cute!

Perhaps Violet was getting some special one-on-one time with mom and dad ahead of her little sister Seraphina's second birthday, which the photogenic family celebrated Thursday January 6.

Ben's directorial effort, "The Town," has been getting some serious Oscar buzz ahead of the Academy Award nominations, which will be announced January 25. The actor recently shared his top 11 heist films with The Daily Beast, including such diverse flicks as "Point Break," "Inception," "Reservoir Dogs," and "Ocean's Eleven" among his top picks. Do you agree?

Katie Holmes graces the February cover of Elle magazine. - Carter Smith/ElleKatie Holmes turned 32 in December, and as well as a birthday trip to NYC with her husband Tom Cruise and daughter Suri, it seems the new year has the former "Dawson's Creek" ingenue branching out in all areas. In her interview with Elle magazine, Katie Holmes opens up about preparing for her role in the History Channel's upcoming miniseries "The Kennedys," her love of Jackie O, and her daughter Suri's keen eye for design.

One fashion icon Holmes has a serious admiration for is Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis, whom she plays in "The Kennedys." "I worked as hard as I could, because I loved her," says the actress, adding, "On set there was this feeling that we had to create something very special, because these people were very special."

As well as Jackie's trendsetting fashion sense, Katie also confesses that she admires the former first lady's strength of character. "I didn't realize that she had lost a child in August and then [Jack] was assassinated in November. I couldn't believe it.

Ronnie Magro and Vinny Guadagnino at the IHAV clothing line launch party in New York City. - Bennett Raglin/WireImage.comWhat's a reality star to do when they get a taste of fame? Why, launch a clothing line of course! Following in the footsteps of his "Jersey Shore" castmates -- Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino has the charmingly named DILLIGAF (Does It Look Like I Give a F---) line, and Jenni "JWoww" Farley had Filthy Couture, which was sadly shut down due to trademark issues -- Vinny Guadagnino kicked off his own foray into fashion Monday night with his IHAV (I Have a Vision) line of T-shirts.

Surprisingly, the T-shirts aren't quite as garish and guido-esque as you might expect. "I'm not into all the crystals and flaming skulls that I was into before," Vinny told The Wall Street Journal's Metropolis blog. "I look for art and that's what my shirts are about. It wasn't even that hard to start up a clothing line because I'm an artist."

Best of all, the collection, which boast slogans like "F--- Bullies" is all for a good cause. Created in collaboration with the charity organization DoSomething.org, the

Kate Gosselin and her kids arrive at Brisbane airport in Australia. - PacificCoastNews.comKate Gosselin and her eight kids were all smiles as they touched down in Brisbane, Australia, on Tuesday. The reality mom and her brood -- 10-year-old twins Cara and Maddy, and 6-year-old sextuplets Aaden, Alexis, Collin, Hannah, Joel, and Leah -- have been Down Under since just before New Year's Eve, filming footage for upcoming episodes of "Kate Plus 8."

Sporting her signature blond locks tied back in a sleek ponytail, a pale green T-shirt, and leggings, Kate looked fit and healthy, while her little girls copied their mom's style in lookalike leggings, tops, and footwear. Do you think the sextuplets ever have a tantrum and ask to wear different outfits from each other?

The Daily Mail reports that the family has been all over the island nation, ringing in New Year's Eve in Sydney Harbour before heading over to Adelaide in South Australia, and now Brisbane in Queensland.

One member of the Gosselin clan who wasn't happy about Kate's trip? Her ex-husband Jon, who fought to keep the

Denise Richards in Maui, Hawaii, with her daughters Sam and Lola. - INFphoto.comSporting a mint-green bikini and gray shorts, Denise Richards showed off her fit figure while walking on the beach in Maui with her daughters Sam, 6, and Lola, 5. The actress and her girls were enjoying a week-long family vacation with Denise's dad at the Four Seasons hotel on the Hawaiian island.

While Denise sported her usual long wavy tresses, her girls got in the island spirit -- Sam rocked cute cornrows, while little Lola opted for a simple French braid. "A morning of pampering! Lola getting braids and a Mani!" tweeted Denise after she and her girls enjoyed a session at the salon.

Though Denise's new beau Nikki Sixx wasn't included in the family affair, the Motley Crue rocker -- who rang in 2011 with his kids in Mexico -- was definitely missing his new lady friend. "@Denise_Richards Happy NEW year beautiful," he tweeted just after midnight. A few days earlier he sent her the amusing message: "Tell @DENISE_RICHARDS to get her butt to mexico, it soooo damn beautiful here.....oh i

Squeezing in some last minute shopping before Christmas Day, Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and her adorable son Bronx Mowgli were spotted out with Grandma Simpson at a vintage clothing store in Los Angeles Tuesday. Perhaps the three were scouring the racks for some groovy vintage duds for Ash's hubby Pete Wentz?

The "Pieces of Me" singer sported an animal-print sweater and chocolate colored cap, while her 2-year-old son was totally cool in a military-style marching band jacket.

In a recent interview with Hollyscoop.com, Simpson-Wentz revealed that her son loves the holidays. "Decorating is exciting and this year [Bronx] has his own tree in his room so he really decorates," she shared. "He puts the ornaments on, so it's fun. It's all about having a good time and making the holidays feel like home. We do a family Christmas with my husband and my son when he wakes up in the morning. Santa comes, so it will be fun. We will make cookies in good Christmas shapes."
