Trend Alert: New Year, Long Waves OK, I know it's nothing all that earth-shattering since long waves have been in fashion long before the Farrah Fawcett days. But this New Year's Eve, it was all about the soft cascading curl. Whether it was a more refined look like Ashlee Simpson and Eva Longoria Parker or tousled and undone à la Molly Sims and Chloë Sevigny, the look was still sexy.

OK, I know it's nothing all that earth-shattering since long waves have been in fashion long before the Farrah Fawcett days. But this New Year's Eve, it was all about the soft cascading curl. Whether it was a more-refined look like Ashlee Simpson and Eva Longoria Parker or tousled and undone à la Molly Sims and Chloë Sevigny, the look was still sexy — and a little more inspired than pin-straight locks.

There were plenty of parties to choose from on NYE, but Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz had their own at PURE in Vegas on Wednesday. The couple celebrated their first new year as newlyweds and parents with other celebs like Heidi Montag, Spencer Pratt, and the Kardashian sisters — check how out how
all the stars celebrated new years here. After an exciting 2008, Ashlee was hard-pressed to find a resolution,
saying, "I don't know if I can have high expectations for 2009 because 2008 was so good.

With all of the hoopla surrounding Christmas and New Year's, I completely forgot to ask you what you think of Ashlee Simpson's
new, old hair colour. I remember Ash as a blonde from her
7th Heaven days, but since then she's gone from
black to brown to
deep red. I absolutely love the colour, the length and the loose, relaxed waves that frame her beaming smile.

Ashlee was
looking chic while running errands in LA before getting ready to celebrate the New Year in Las Vegas. She and Pete hosted an event at Pure and even
the poster is enough to make us curious about the evening but these two were not your top choice for
celebs you wanted to ring in the New Year with. Baby Bronx was not out with mom and we're hoping he skipped out on the Vegas festivities as well but it's a good thing mom and dad still know how to have a good time.

Celebrities delight in giving their offspring unusual names, and 2008 saw the birth of several uniquely named
babies. From the beautiful to the brilliantly bizarre, we were certainly treated to creative names this year. Take a look back at the best baby names of 2008 with me.
Celeb Style: Ashlee Simpson While out holiday shopping with a friend, Ashlee Simpson looked a bit somber in her all-black outfit, but that doesn't mean she didn't look good. She put on a lot of black layers but differentiated the ensemble with a pop of white in her scarf and purple with her glasses. The Jennifer Fisher necklace completes the look.

In the spirit of the holidays, Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz
decided to share the first photo of Bronx Mowgli! On Pete's website he said that their son is the "best gift we could ever receive" and encourage readers to donate to charities including the Richie-Madden Foundation. The two new parents look so happy and loving towards their new addition.

Ashlee Simpson and her
newly blonde locks went shopping with a friend in LA yesterday. Pete was busy off on his own, but he's still been talking about his wife every chance he gets. Most of you were shocked by
what he revealed to Howard Stern last week, but that didn't stop him from sharing more on SIRIUS'
The Morning Mash Up! earlier this week.
Celebrity Style: Ashlee Simpson Sometimes all you need is a colorful cardigan to carry your look. New mom and newly blond Ashlee Simpson proved that during a trip to the hair salon. I always talk about my love for cardigans — they're easy to throw on and provide instant pop.
