Where Their Assistants Are Returning Gifts

 If you’re one of the millions trying to return that awful purple and green sweater your Aunt Mildren gave you, you’re not alone. Many celebrity assistants are probably out doing the same, except they’re not going to be in the customer service line at Target with you. Here’s a short recap of where some of our favorite celebs shopped this holiday season, and where their assistants might be getting some store credit.

Our first starlet is Carmen Electra, who was seen shopping at Intuition in Beverly Hills. Intuition carries everything from cute French Sole ballet flats to Norma Kamali dresses. I’m sure Carmen in all her adorable yellow jacket glory got tons of great gifts here. I’m going to assume her assistant would not return anything from this store, unless she wanted the cash back. You, too, can shop at Intuion. Check out their website: www.shopintuition.com.

Before Hannah Montana, there was Hilary Duff, and she is now all grown up. Hilary’s become quite the young woman and she has great taste. We found her shopping at Maxfield and Alessi, both in West Hollywood. They have great coats and luxurious goodies at Maxfield, so if she got her assistant anything there, homegirl should be all warm and cozy today, or she’s wearing a nice Cartier watch. Either way, she wins! Good shopping choices, Hil.

Little girls always learn from their mamas and Kathy Hilton is not any different. Our photogs caught up with her and second daughter Nicky shopping in Beverly Hills. They visited different boutiques around Rodeo Drive, but a shopping staple for both mom and daughter is Barneys New York. The posh department store is a regular stop-over for many celebs and we’ve seen the Hiltons there throughout the year. If you’d like to visit the store without dropping by Los Angeles or New York, check out their website: www.barneys.com.

Last but not the least is Jenny McCarthy, who visited every woman’s fantasy shoe store - Christian Louboutin. Jenny’s assistant probably got some nice knee-length boots or fabulous daytime flats. Lucky girl! Christian Louboutin shoes speak for themselves - they’re artwork. You’ll spend hours on their website, as I have. www.christianlouboutin.fr.
