She's happy being a mother and now she wants to tell everyone all about it.

Jessica Alba was joined by some famous friends and she stopped by the Mondrian LA hotel in West Hollywood on Friday to promote her book, The Honest Life.

Glowing: Jessica Alba was all smiles as she promoted her new book The Honest Life in West Hollywood on Friday

The book shares the Sin City star's experience in a new chapter of her life, being an eco-conscious mum turned business owner.

The 31-year-old looked glamorous in a simple white coat and skinny jeans, which she wore underneath a white and purple tweed coat.

The fashionable mother-of-two also paired her sunny blonde hair with a golden manicure.

Living honestly: The book talks about the star's eco-friendly lfestyle

Jessica showed off some of her company's healthy products as she was joined by model Laura Bush and American Idol judge Randy Jackson.

Since Monday the Dark Angel actress has been on a press tour promoting the release of her book, The Honest Life: Living Naturally and True to You.

She started off in New York, where she appeared on a series of television shows to launch her new eco-friendly venture.

Last year Jessica, alongside entrepreneur Brian Lee and environmental advocate Christopher Gavigan, launched The Honest Company, a resource for parents and other savvy shoppers looking to find products that are safe for the home.

The book not only talks about her new business venture, but it also peeks into Jessica's life raising two young children in Hollywood.

The project was a cause close to her heart for the mother of two, whose interest was sparked after her youngest daughter was born.

Healthy home and body: Items from Jessica's company The Honest Co. are touted to promote a toxin-free lifestyle

'I had an allergic reaction to this quote/unquote baby detergent and I was like if this is making me have a reaction what will it do to my child?' she told GMA on Tuesday.

'And I did a lot of research and I found out that there's lots of toxic chemicals in everything from baby detergent to shampoos and other cleaning products.

'So it began and created the honest company because I was like families need one trusted company that has high quality, high performance products that don't have toxic chemicals.'

She might have worn a plunging neckline but attention was firmly focusing on Britney Spears' new darker locks as she arrived at the Elton John AIDS foundation Oscar party on Sunday night.

The 31-year-old singer debuted her new hair colour, a glossy chocolate brown hue, as she posed up on the red carpet at the star-studded event.

Britney's hair even drew attention away from the low cut of her glittering black Michael Cinco Couture dress, a floor-length number that was slashed almost to the navel.

Contrast: Britney's brunette hair is a more sophisticated look than her previous blonde locks

Britney opted for minimal jewellery, wearing just a pair of earrings a cuff bracelet and a ring for the occasion.

The singer cut a trim figure in the elegant gown, smiling widely as she joined stars including Heidi Klum and Miley Cyrus at Elton's bash.

When it came to her make-up, Scream and Shout singer Britney opted for a smokey eye and a bronzed complexion, but it was her new hairstyle that proved the talking point of the evening.

Britney's new hairstyle signals a new phase in her life, following her recent split from fiancé Jason Trawick.

However, following the break-up in early January, Britney doesn't appear to have stayed single for long and was recently romantically linked to a new man called David - a field researcher at a law firm.

The pair were spotted on the golf course recently after having spent Valentine's Day together at a sushi restaurant.

Britney was just one of the stars who made an appearance at the 2013 Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party, held at the Pacific Design Center.

But she did spend time with party host Elton John and his partner David Furnish with the trio posing together for a series of pictures.

Another musical star at the party was Chris Brown, who seems to have re-entered public life to a warm reception since being charged with the assault of on-off girlfriend Rihanna, who was absent from the occasion.

Steven Tyler, Randy Jackson and Jim Carrey were among the stars who posed up with Chris inside the party.

But Chris couldn't entirely get away from his criminal past, as Oscars host Seth MacFarlane poked fun at the singer's relationship with Rihanna during the ceremony.

Introducing the film Django Unchained, MacFarlane said: 'This is the story of a man fighting to get back his woman, who's been subjected to unthinkable violence. Or as Chris Brown and Rihanna call it, a date movie.'

Laughs were heard, but are said to have only come from Seth's direction.

They both began their careers as country-crooning little girls.

But there is clearly no rivalry between Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus, who affectionately posed together at a pre-Grammy bash honoring L.A. Reid on Saturday.

And just as the singing duo have strayed from their country roots, the two pop stars' looks at the Beverly Hilton bash could not have been more different.

Katy teamed the elegant frock with Charlotte Olympia heels, a Judith Leiber bag, a Norman Silverman ring, and Misaki earrings.

Meanwhile the pixie-haired 20-year-old flaunted her sideboob cleavage in an edgy Emilio Pucci halter-gown, Versace boots, and jewelry from Lorraine Schwartz and Ofira.

Not seen Saturday was Miley's fiancé Liam Hemsworth, who will star in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire due out November 22.

The Hannah Montana star is currently working on her fourth studio alum, slated for a 2013 release.

Waiting close by was Perry's on/off boyfriend since June, John Mayer.

But the California Gurls hitmaker has decided to make the Grammys a 'Girls' night this Sunday and she'll be taking actress Allison Williams as her date.

'I am going to the Grammys and Katy Perry is my date,' the HBO starlet told Anderson Cooper Thursday.

'She's the hottest date. She's a friend of mine and she's nominated [for Wide Awake], as she should be. I can't wait to go. Obviously she's awesome. She's the best.'

Katy hung out with Allison at President Obama's inauguration, and the gal pals reportedly got to know each other through John.

According to E! News, the lovebirds have even double dated with the Girls actress and her boyfriend, College Humor founder Ricky Van Veen.
