Jennifer Lopez, Mary J. Blige do chic eats for UNICEF

Lunches are an obvious favorite in the Ministry's Division of Fabulous Parties, and Friday afternoon was no exception for some well-dressed gals giving back.

Gucci creative director Frida Giannini was honored at the inaugural UNICEF Women of Compassion luncheon, where "American Idol" host and Gucci campaign star Jennifer Lopez presented her with an award.

At the Bel-Air home of Colleen and Bradley Bell, the chic set bought plates to fund UNICEF's global mission of supporting children's causes.

Mary J. Blige, an honorary chair, turned up and chatted with Lopez and husband Marc Anthony, as did actresses Paz Vega and Camilla Belle. Three guesses as to what everyone was wearing.

Leave your comments on the UNICEF lunch below.

Prince and Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger party after the People's Choice Awards

Some Pussycats have all the luck.

The Ministry has learned that on-and-off Pussycat Dolls front woman Nicole Scherzinger got an A-list treat after her People's Choice Awards performance Wednesday night: a private audience with Prince at Bardot Hollywood.

The singers had the Jason Scoppa-run spot opened just for their purposes -- something the Purple One is fond of doing (he even hosted his recent Christmas Eve bash there, with about 50 guests). 

Adam Lambert promises a 'sexy' performance at tonight's American Music Awards

Five boy dancers. Five girl dancers. And, Adam Lambert says, "the wardrobe is amazing."

Lambert will be right in the middle of it all tonight on the American Music Awards, he tells MTV News, accompanied by the band from his "For Your Entertainment" music video, which shot last week at the Alexandria Hotel in Los Angeles.

If you miss Adam tonight on the AMAs -- or maybe you happen to be in New York for Thanksgiving? -- catch him at his free live concert for "Good Morning America" on Nov. 25.
