What was good was good on the red carpet. What was bad was boring. Guess the usual suspects stayed home!

Okay, MTV had the lamest ever red carpet coverage for their MTV Movie Awards in the history of red carpet coverage. It was sandwiched in between the Randy Jackson Presents America's Best Dance Crews show and commercials. We did see three big trends: animal prints, lace and metallics.

Read on to find out where Reese Witherspoon, Jessica Szohr, Brooklyn Decker, Jessica Szhor and Kristen Stewart fell in the "thrilled us" or "made our eyes cross with ennui" lists.

Reese Witherspoon

This year, Reese Witherspoon walked away with the MTV Movie Awards Generation Award. And she's only 34! When Reese walked onstage in her in green and brown leopard print dress and silver Ferragamo sandals, she was all smiles. Her speech, however, came out of left field and appeared to slam half of Hollywood!

12 cute rings that will brighten your day. Guaranteed!

-Faye Brennan, BettyConfidential.com

Two weeks ago I fell in love with a tiny rhinestone bow ring while out shopping in NYC. It was small and simple, but as soon as I put it on, I felt instantly happy. I made a beeline for the register, and have been wearing it ever since.

It's amazing to me how a piece of jewelry can transform my whole mood. I could be having an awful day, but when I look down at my hand and see that little bow sparkling back up at me, I get a break from the negative thoughts. It was the best four dollars I ever spent.

Is your beach style sweet like Selena Gomez's, playful like Audrina Patridge's, or sporty like Jessica Biel's?

-Faye Brennan, BettyConfidential.com

You may not realize it, but what you wear to the beach or the pool says a lot about you and your personality. True, you may just be wearing a bathing suit, but it's the style of the bathing suit and how you wear it that speaks volumes.

If you are curious about what your beachwear preferences say about you, compare your style with the following sun-lovin' celebrities'. Are you sweet like Selena or sexy like a VS model? Here is your chance to find out:

Sweet

Although she was photographed in this bikini while having a PDA session with Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez's look is sweet and innocent overall. The bow in her hot pink bikini top adds a cute factor, and her only accessories are sunglasses and hoop earrings. Sweet, indeed!

Playful

Tiny scraps of fabric, sewn into bikinis and one piece swimsuits can cost as much as a mortgage payment!

swimwear

Personally, I could never understand how a bathing suit; be it a bikini or a once piece, could cost so much money. After all, the fabric used is less than a yard. A yard of lycra can't cost more than $10 on a good day, right? That's always been my thinking. Every year, I'd struggle with the idea of buying a new suit. Other than the fact I loathe swimsuit weather, I'm a miser when it comes to spending money.

When I found out that there are swimsuits that cost $1000, I knew I had to share the insanity. I doubt that any of the bikinis or one pieces on this list will ever meet chlorine or the sea.

As with Tiger Woods, Arnold's many women are starting to come out of the woodwork. But ... why?

Maria Shriver Arnold Schwarzenegger

So, though I'm right sick of celebrity infidelity scandals, and I keep telling myself to stop clicking on Arnold Schwarzenegger news, I still have a strange compulsion every now and then to follow up on some lurid headline. The other morning , Extra reeled me in with this: "Extra Exclusive: Arnold's Alleged Mistress #2 Breaks Her Silence!"

It's not that I'm in the least bit surprised that there's another "other woman" -- I mean, is anyone really shocked that Arnold Schwarzenegger hasn't kept his wedding vows? But what, for some reason, never fails to amaze me is how willing these women are to expose themselves to the media -- from Rielle Hunter (John Edwards) to Joslyn James (Tiger Woods). To put it simply (and, apparently, naively) ... AREN'T THEY EMBARRASSED?

Recent history's most famous mistresses have proven to be hurt-looking hussies.

bad mistress hair

None of us at Lock & Mane have ever seen the Mistressing Handbook, but we have made the conjecture, after viewing recent photos of Arnold Schwarzenegger's mistress and baby mama, Mildred Baena, that one of the requirements to be a mistress/baby mama/homewrecking hussy, is to have horribly, bad, awful, no good hair.

Mildren Baena Maria Shriver

It's certainly hard not to draw comparisons between the frizz and the dishwater blonde hue in this glamour shot (not to mention the low-cut blouse and the endless cleavage) and Arnold's class act of a wife, Maria Shriver (who has always dazzled us with her wonderful locks).

This is obviously not the first time a public figure such as Arnold has had a dalliance with a woman whose appearance pales in comparison to that of his long suffering wife. In

Frankie MilleyFrankie Milley's son died a horrible, sudden death from meningitis. And now she's working to protect other families from the same tragedy.

-April Daniels Hussar, BettyConfidential.com"When you come out of the shock of burying your child, you have one of two choices. You can either crawl in the grave and go with them, just die with them, just allow yourself to die -- which is what you really want to do -- or you can make a choice to get busy and try to prevent it from happening to other kids and other families."
-Frankie Milley, Founder, Meningitis Angels

Frankie Milley is a woman with a mission -- to prevent other parents from losing their children to meningitis, the devastating disease that took the life of her only son, Ryan, when he was only 18 years old. As the founder of Meningitis Angels, Frankie has worked tirelessly to both educate the public about meningococcal disease and to help the children and families whose lives are profoundly, horribly affected by it.
