Actually, hats on to Aubrey O'Day. The singer and reality star was spotted at the Kentucky Derby doing -- what else? --  wearing a giant hat. That's how people celebrate the Kentucky Derby, if you didn't know. It's a horse race, but it's also an opportunity for ladies (and gentlemen, too, if they want) to wear a giant hat, even if it looks ridiculous.

Aubrey's hat was kind of nuts (although, to be fair, so was everybody's), a kind of mishmash of bow ties all wrapped together atop a really wide brim. But Aubrey paired the kooky hat with a regal black-and-white number, so it kind of balanced out the whole outfit.

And she wore evening gloves, too, which is what a lady is supposed to do as she watches the horses race. We think. We weren't there, but that's what we've learned from both Aubrey and "The Real Housewives." So there you go. The Kentucky derby: hats, gloves, and horses.

Hey, who needs Danity Kane, the powerhouse quintet assembled by P. Diddy on "Making The Band 3"? Certainly not Aubrey O'Day. When you're Aubrey, you do just fine on your own, thank you very much! She's got her own reality show, "All About Aubrey," and just made a splash at the NewNowNext Awards, locking lips with Kim Coles onstage in a very Britney/Madonna VMA moment (albeit without tongue).

Early this morning, Aubrey tweeted a link to her song "Automatic," which has finally made it to iTunes (after it was initially released last year), and it's unshakably delicious. Aubrey knows not to stray too far from her dance-pop roots, singing over a Euro-inspired, thumping club banger that brings to mind both Lady Gaga and Far East Movement. "It's about not having to get done up or put on certain shoe or a particular dress to look sexy," she told Artist Direct. "It's about being able to walk into a room and steal attention."  And if you've ever seen her in a bathing suit, you know Aubrey lives by that code.

In fact, we might be listening to an inescapable summer smash, considering the release of "Automatic" comes just as the warm winds of spring open the gates to the annual race for Best Summer Song. Rihanna has held court for several years now, but even without the quartet of Danity Kane members next to her, shaking your ayse to Aubrey's solo venture may very well be the best way to spend time at a club, barbecue or beach dance party come summer.

Now if we can just pry her off of Kim Coles for a second.

Like so many men before him, Diddy has been bumming around Paris recently. No doubt hip-hop's original Bad Boy has been spending his time in cafes, watching the Seine roll by and contemplating life's great mysteries, his very existence and his very Diddy-ness. Or maybe he's just putting the finishing touches on his appropriately titled, long-delayed album Last Train To Paris.

Either way, he's seeing the sights. The above photo, which places Diddy in front of the "Mona Lisa" in Paris' famous Louvre Museum, was spotted on Buzzfeed and swiped from the man's very own Twitpic account. We'd like to invite you all to add your wittiest caption. Here are a couple to get you started:

1. "I told you she was checking out my ass."

2. "I was thinking about reforming Danity Kane and I think Mona Lisa might be perfect! She's fierce and she keeps quiet. (Cough — Aubrey O'Day — cough.)"

3. "Am I buggin' or do you see the gnomes, too?"

And the question is WHY????? Why would you mess with perfection? With something so perfect? I FULL-ON disagree with Blender magazine's (RIP!) assertion that Eddie Murphy's 1985 cult classic, "Party All The Time" is one of the worst songs of all time.

Party on, Eddie. Party on.

"Party All The Time" is one of the BEST songs (of 1985) because it featured a blonde Rick James and his love of the leather tuxedo, celebrated Eddie Murphy's love of handclap synth effect, and the song was recorded in TOTAL earnest. There was nothing ironic about "Party All The Time"! Unfortunately. Which is what makes it so great.

So Aubrey O'Day, why'd you have to go eff with it? Shannon Bex has the right idea -- go country! Or just go topless (again). But DO NOT go where Eddie's gone before, my friend.

Watch Eddie Murphy's "Party All The Time" video (woah, what up with that sesssual tension between Rick and Eddie? Just sayin'), and listen to Aubrey O'Day's version. I'm beside myself right now. Who do I talk to about this? Diddy?

+ UPDATE: Check out video from Richie Rich's show below, courtesy of Sarah Conley! And yes, that IS Pam Anderson at the end...

Oh hai! So, I was illin' like a villain all day, but I got an invite to Richie Rich's Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week show -- Richie Rich is half of what was (weep! RIP!) Heatherette, who were part of the original New York club kids when you were still in diapers, and they made Teyana Taylor's dress for her Super Sweet 16 debut, and they were the also the reason (besides Dolly Parton) that sequins and rhinestones were invented -- and realized I'd be a complete idiot to pass that up. (For reference, that's Richie in the photo all the way at the bottom, me [hi!], and Traver Rains of Heatherette at the Heatherette for MAC event last year.)

So I rallied for the cause and headed up to the Waldorf-Astoria (ridick and kinda gross), where a prissy lady in the lobby raised a brow when I walked by in my vintage '80s bicycle sweater. Um, apparently she hadn't noticed the drag queen deluge pouring in. It was total and absolute gayhem, which is a super-fun term I just made up! Anyway, the Richie Rich show was '90s amazing!

Even though it was his Fall '09 line, that didn't stop him from sending a model down the runway in a teensy weeny animal print bikini. Or sending Aubrey O'Day out in a hot pink frock. (And if you've been keeping up with Fashion Week, neons are back back back! Marc Jacobs and Michael Kors and Narciso, oh my! Not to mention, the Stephen Sprouse windows lighting up the Louis Vuitton store on Fifth Ave... ) Or opening the show with a live performance by Kat DeLuna! Or closing the show with Pamela Anderson in a gold lamé thong after Amanda Lepore ripped the runway. Yes. That happened. Anyway, the Richie Rich touch always = the most fashion fun in the world, so thanks, Richie (indirectly at least) for having me! Oh yeah, and I met Justin Tranter of Semi Precious Weapons (and he was on MADE -- the one where Michelle becomes a bassist) before the show started, and he was a gorgeous doll.

And for you keeping track on the Buzzworthy Twitter, here's a shot of Teyana Taylor, who was there in a bad-ass sequined majorette hat! (@Sk8Boardsqueez -- sorry, I was wrong -- when she first walked by I thought it was a little porkpie hat, but it was definitely no T-Pain hat!) She was so excited when I told her MTV fans on Twitter were excited that she was there in a suh-weet hat, and she was rocking the Wonder Woman hair again like she was at the MAC x Hello Kitty event the other week. And below that, though it's self-explanatory, that's Ice-T and wife Coco, who also attended the show. Coco was wearing a lot of clothes! For her.

Anyway, I'm the sure The Cut blog will have pix of Richie Rich's show. The Cut has been killing it, BTW -- they even got a severe close-up of Kanye's nub at the Alexandre Herchcovitch show. Thanks, guys!

+ Gawd, can the Jonas Brothers get ANY cuter? (uh ... obvs no). Apparently the boyz just released their adorable-licious nicknames for each other: Kevin is "K-2," Joe is "Danger" and Nick is "Mr. President" (Swooning. Me. Now). (Us Magazine)

+ Ewww ... Michael Jackson is allegedly suffering some some nasty skin infection (I just poured hand sanitizer all over my keyboard just in case). (Fametastic)

+ Has "Rapper" Joaquin Phoenix always been this crazy? The dude appeared on David Letterman the other night and, uhm ... wow. (Perez Hilton)

+ Is anyone surprised that Aubrey O'Day is on the cover of Playboy? Didn't think so. (MTV News)

+ Gossip blogger Perez Hilton is teaming up with Britney Spears to collab on a video for her upcoming Circus tour. As per u, he can't shut up about it. (The Hollywood Gossip)

+ Eminem's "don't call it a comeback" single "Crack a Bottle" is #1 with a bullet on The Billboard Hot 100 chart. 50 Cent, who makes a cameo on the track (as of this writing), is not in a feud with Shady, but these things are pretty darn hard to keep track of. Rolling Stone)

+ It seems like Miley Cyrus *still* can't quite shake "Asian-gate oh niners" from our collective brains: now she's being sued for $4 billion dollars (!?) because of the incident. What's next? Margaret Cho writing a song about it? Oh wait ... (D Listed)
