There was only one place to be in Las Vegas on Saturday night.

Cirque du Soleil's Michael Jackson ONE premiere garnered a star-studded crowd, including Neil Patrick Harris, Justin Bieber and David Arquette, as well as members of the late artist's family.

Among Jackson's family honoring his career: his mother Katherine, his 16-year-old son Prince, and his brothers Marlon, Tito and Jackie, who commented on Paris Jackson's recent mental health scare that began following a June 5 suicide attempt.

"She's going to be okay," Jackie Jackson said, according to the Associated Press. "She's getting better."

Michael Jackson ONE is the second Cirque du Soleil show paying tribute to Jackson, coming less than 20 months after Immortal debuted.

"ONE is all about the music," Marlon Jackson said. "This is part of giving back and sharing his legacy."

Married life is certainly sweet for Kristin Cavallari, who shared a glimpse at her honeymoon with freshly minted husband Jay Cutler.

The newlyweds pause for a seaside smooch, seemingly on their post-vows getaway, in a photo she posted Sunday, just weeks after she married the Chicago Bears quarterback in a Nashville ceremony. (She shared another snapshot, simply captioned "Honeymoon.")

And their trip seems just as picturesque as the wedding itself, which "was absolutely perfect," the former Laguna Beach star has said.

After making it official, "We were both just like, 'I can't believe we did it!" continued Cavallari, who has a 10-month-old son Camden with Cutler. "Especially Jay because he's never worn a ring before. It's going to take some getting used to."

Meanwhile, 7-year-old brother Kingston also got in the spirit of the season with mom Stefani, who showed off her bikini-ready abs on land.

Of course, it's just another sandy outing for the frequent beachgoers.

Temperatures Are On the Rise - and Shockingly, So Is This Sweltering Trend

In our weekly round-up of what we’re seeing sizzle (and fizzle) on the red carpet, we noticed that peplums are rising in popularity once again, stars are having a serious love affair with leather — and there’s one hairstyle that appears to be losing its edge lately. Consider this your fashion forecast.

Up: Peplums. The peplum is back in all shapes, shades and sizes. On the simple end of the spectrum, Julianne Hough’s Naven mini and Amy Adams black CH Carolina Herrera pencil skirt featured basic embellishments at the waist. Krysten Ritter introduced us to a 360-degree yellow waistband on her printed Thakoon dress. And the award for the most tricked out version of the trend goes to Maggie Gyllenhaal and the crochet attachment on her Christian Dior knit number. Conclusion: You might want to dust off that peplum skirt in your closet, or maybe pick up one like this from Forever 21. (We advise not to splurge, because this trend is bound to fluctuate).

Up: Hot-weather leather. Rising temps aren’t stopping stars from stepping out in leather. The recent love for the trend has even prompted us to come up with a new fashion acronym — LLD (Little Leather Dress). Naomi Watts, Mandy Moore and Sandra Bullock showed they have some serious sartorial edge in second-skin stunners. And Rashida Jones mixed a bright blue leather mini skirt with a nautical top for a summer-friendly look. Stars are managing to stay cool and keep the fabric looking fresh all season-long.

Down: Waist-length strands. We’ve officially declared it haircut week in Hollywood. To recap: Melissa Gilbert, Camilla Belle, Jaime Pressly (yes, again!), and Jada Pinkett Smith all got scissor-happy and chopped off some length for summer. In that context, Jessica White’s super-long tresses that almost touch her backside feel like old news.

For more on which trends to follow, check out our thoughts on bold cuffs and polka dots.
