The sunny weather in Los Angeles doesn't change much from one season to the next, so Angelenos are quick to whip out their sweaters any time the temperature dips. Actress-turned-reality star (and native Californian) Tori Spelling is no different. This weekend she stepped out in a chunky sweater, knit hat, and furry boots, while thermometers registered in the 50s and 60s.

The "Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood" mom made sure her tots were warm and cozy, too, during an outing to rent some movies. Three-year-old Liam donned boots just like his mom's, while 2-year-old Stella was outfitted in a bright pink sweater and a cheery red cap. Only dad Dean McDermott braved the cold and wore shorts, but at 43, I suppose he is old enough to make that decision for himself!

Fans of the fam will soon see a lot more of them on Oxygen. The cable channel announced earlier this month that not only are they renewing Tori and Dean's current show for a sixth season, they're also adding a show cleverly

Anytime a star rocks the same dress as the beautiful Beyonce, she's going to have to bring it! We'll see whether former "Ugly Betty" actress America Ferrera did just that in an ethereal creation by Catherine Malandrino, plus, we debate three more duels between pop princesses and screen queens on this episode of "The Thread."

Lauren Conrad is Teen Vogue's November cover girl. - Norman Jean RoyWhile her former "Hills" co-stars Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt love every minute of media attention they can get, Lauren Conrad is not that kind of girl. Unless she's promoting one of her L.A. Candy books or her Kohl's clothing line, you're unlikely to read anything more about her than what she was wearing at a red carpet event. And forget about her saying anything scandalous.

So, why is she starring in another reality show then? "The only issue I had [with doing a reality show] was the lack of a personal life," Lauren tells Teen Vogue in a new interview. "So when I found an opportunity where I could have both, it just made sense." Better yet is the fact that MTV -- the same network that aired both "The Hills" and its predecessor, "Laguna Beach" -- is giving LC final editing approval. "That was the only way I would agree to it."

The still untitled show will focus on Conrad's new clothing line, Paper Crown, which is named for a dress-up game she played at her grandmother's house as a

TV star Kate Walsh shines at the 2010 People's Choice Awards in L.A. - Frazer Harrison/Getty Images North AmericaTalk to actress Kate Walsh for even a few minutes, and expect her passion for several different causes to become part of the conversation ... quickly. She's an animal lover who fights against breast cancer and advocates for clean beaches and water. That last role recently prompted her to wear a dress of fake sushi (take that, Lady Gaga!) for an appearance on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno." Now she's combined the first two loves as spokeswoman for Purina Cat Chow's campaign to support National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

As if all that weren't enough, Kate has a hit show, "Grey's Anatomy" spin-off "Private Practice," which is back for its fourth season. The auburn-haired beauty is also quite the fashionista in her spare time.

During a chat with omg!, Kate describes her style as "comfortable and -- I hope -- chic, with a little bit of an edge." She adds that her character Addison, meanwhile, is "very classic, kind of New York, much more East Coast than I necessarily am," she says.

Nick Jonas has returned from his London gig and is back in Los Angeles. - Fabio/X17online.comAfter spending much of the summer starring in "Les Miserables" in London's West End, Nick Jonas is back in sunny Los Angeles. On Tuesday, he was snapped leaving dinner at Taste of India and, earlier in the day, at Henson Recording Studios in Hollywood, where the pop star is reportedly recording another solo album to follow up this year's Who I Am by Nick Jonas and the Administration.

He's also just finished another side project with the likes of Kim Kardashian, Betty White, and other Californians. As Kim hinted via Twitter during filming in late September, it's one of those ads meant to lure visitors to the Golden State.

If you haven't seen the finished product yet, it's worth watching.

No need to worry about Kim, though, ladies! There's no sign she and Nick have become besties like the reality star and "Baby" singer Justin Bieber. Nick is actually rumored to be dating his "Les Mis" co-star, British beauty Samantha Barks. People says the two were spotted getting cozy at a bash for the

Remember cutie Aly Michalka from Disney's "Phil of the Future" and musical sister act Aly and AJ? Well, if you haven't tuned in to her new show "Hellcats" -- a cheerleading drama on The CW -- you've been missing out!

The former teen idol is now 21 and, as she revealed in an interview with omg!, totally obsessed with her new gig. But things didn't start out that way. "I think that originally cheerleading probably turned me off a little bit," Aly admits. "But when I actually read the script and started to fall in love with the character of Marti and this world that she's in, I realized that the script was so much more than what people would perceive it as at first glance. I liked that it surprised me in that way."

Before long, Aly was baring her bod in those unforgiving uniforms and learning complex routines. "I never was nervous about showing my body on the show, because I was in shape already before I started filming," she says. She had danced on a competitive team before and in those
