Miley Cyrus, LeAnn Rimes and many more celebs attended the American Giving Awards on Friday night. Miley looks okay (ish) in a Jenny Packham dress. I don’t really hate the dress, but it doesn’t really look incredible on her. Could be her tight hair (and extensions?), could be the color. Who knows.

In other Miley news, rumor has it she’s moved in with on-again boyfriend Liam Hemsworth. Naughty, naughty!

LeAnn Rimes was also at the event, where celebrities give awards to community heroes. LeAnn wore a dress by Alaia. I don’t mind the dress. Only someone her size could pull off those ruffles though, I’ll tell ya that!

In ‘Shame’, Carey Mulligan’s new movie, she plays the sister of a sex addict portrayed by Michael Fassbender. In the film, which is rated NC-17, Carey explores subjects such as suicide and full frontal nudity.

In an early scene, she appears completely naked, coming out of the shower and taking her brother by surprise. It is not just a quick cut, either; she has multiple lines of dialogue while standing there in full view of the camera.

“I’ve never, never been naked in a film before; I’ve been topless once or twice, but always in sort of very innocent ways,” Mulligan told MakingOf.com. “And I’ve always been sort of staunchly feminist about it, I’ve never relished the idea of doing it, and never if it was inappropriate or gratuitous in any way. But I just felt it was absolutely right; that’s exactly who she was. She wanted to be seen, she’s an exhibitionist and she’s provocative.”

Mulligan has spoken about the nude scene before, recently telling HitFix.com that she approached the scene in a different way than most.

“I didn’t have to worry about what I ate, or how much I drank, and I didn’t have to work out,” she explained. “She was an alcoholic mess. She didn’t have any money to dye her hair. I mean I didn’t become an alcoholic, but I didn’t have to watch myself. It was so much more exciting to play that character that didn’t worry about her appearance in any way. I knew that when I stood up in that bath naked it wasn’t about whether I looked good naked or not. It was about who she was.”

There is also a moment in the film when Mulligan’s character attempts suicide, cutting her wrist and bleeding heavily. She told MakingOf that she at first took the scene, and the prosthetics they put on her wrist, lightly, but as the scene was being filmed, that mood changed.

“I was sitting there and this fake blood was pumping out of my arms and I was in this completely hopeless state with a kitchen knife next to me,” she remembered. “And it was horrible, it was really horrible and I wasn’t expecting it, it was a complete surprise, and I felt awful. It sounds so pretentious, but it just made me feel horrible. I felt devastated and I felt so sad. And I’m fine. I’m great and well adjusted and everything’s cool, but just the idea of being that helpless and that lonely, it was just really sad. I got into the taxi at the end of the day and I couldn’t stop crying.”

Teen Mom Amber Portwood is making some changes in her life, revealing that she’s been diagnosed with bipolar and dissociative disorder and instead of keeping it private, she’s hoping that she can help others that may struggle with either condition.

“I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder three years ago. I struggle with it. I hate it. I grieve over it.

“When I went to rehab for two months, they diagnosed me with disassociative disorder too, which makes me black out. People don’t understand what it’s like.”

Amber made headlines earlier this year after she was taped hitting her then boyfriend Gary Shirley who is also the father of her 2-year-old child, Leah.

The reality starlet, 21, was charged with two felony domestic battery charges, but ultimately had the no-contact order modified so that both she and Shirley could care for their daughter.

Apparently Amber has moved on from her turbulent past and has found love with 22-year-old Mike who she’s been with for about a month.

“I always knew I wouldn’t be with Gary for the long term, but with Mike, I know he’s the one. We never fight. He balances me out.”

While visiting ‘The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,’ Glee star Lea Michele spoke on the mystery surrounding her last name, saying that she decided to drop her moniker after being bullied in school.

The 25-year-old actress said that her classmates weren’t the nicest when it came to her family name, and that ‘Michele’ just came to her during an audition.

“Sarfati. That’s my real last name. I don’t use it a lot because I got ‘Lea So-fatty,’ ‘Lea So-farty’ at school.”

“When I was little and I went on my first audition they were like, ‘And may we have your name,’ and I was like Lea Michele. And I’ve been Lea Michele ever since,’ ” she said.

“It’s Sephardic, which is Spanish/Jew.”

She also talked about what it’s like at the Safarti home during the holidays.

“Every year it’s like, ‘Where are we going to go for the holidays,’ and it’s like, ‘We’re going to go to my mom’s side,’ because then I get these big bowls of pasta, and that’s what I want! Turkey is like a side-dish, we have pasta.”

And they also have traditions such as:

“…eating 12 grapes, dressing in clothes and colors that evoke feelings they want in the New Year and writing down a wish, burning it at the stroke of midnight and then drinking the ashes in champagne.”

She does admit, however, that the ashes in the champagne was dropped along with the last name.
