Usher

Usher belted out his hit "Friends and Lovers," and even stepped in to cover Ludacris's verses on the track, rapping, "Now you're all grown up like Rudy Huxtable." Fittingly, Keshia Knight Pulliam, who played Rudy on The Cosby Show, was the lucky recipient of Usher's serenade. "She was dancing away as Usher sang to her," the source says.
Shop Girl
Nicky Hilton isn't much of a mall rat (the hotel heiress prefers exclusive boutiques, thank you very much), but she's been making the rounds to shopping emporiums across the country to promote her new juniors clothing line, Chick by Nicky Hilton. During a stop to Marshall Field's in Chicago, Paris's younger sister dished about how she and her Simple Life sibling got in plenty of fights over clothes when they were growing up.
"I remember setting out my black pants and black boots in the morning. When I came home from school to get ready for a dance, the black Guess pants were gone," Nicky told us. "Paris had taken them. I didn't know it until later when I found them crumpled in a corner. I was so mad." These days, Paris is still coveting Nicky's clothes: "Paris has only been in fashion the last few years. I've always loved it so I've acquired a lot more over the years." Take that, big sis.
