It's the biggest night in showbiz and last night the Oscars lived up to expectations as countless celebs hit the red carpet for the glitzy awards bash.

And Elton John's AIDS foundation party was brimming with the biggest names in town - including The Osbournes, Nicole Scherzinger, Heidi Klum, Miley Cyrus and Austin Powers comedian, Mike Myers.

Mike recently reprised his role of Wayne's World hero Wayne Campbell with his co star Dana Carvey.

He told me: "It was great to be reunited with Dana again-we have a right laugh. I've got a big project coming up but I can't discuss it yet. They'll probably be some accent in there- my parents were from Liverpool so I love all the British ones."

Meanwhile Miley Cyrus was seen parading her tiny slimline size 6 figure in a tight white jumpsuit with a bodyguard close at hand. While she caught up with her pal Kelly Osbourne, Kylie Minogue told me glamour was a full time job.

She laughed: "I don't wake up just looking like this. No way. I've got an entourage behind me to make sure I'm always camera ready."

Celebs at the party, which raised over $6 million dollars for the EJAF, were treated to a delicious five-course menu by Gordon Ramsay, who was also at the party. It included pan seared sea bass, curried cauliflower soup and an Eton Mess with strawberries and vanilla chantilly.

As guests watched the Oscars on big screens from the dinner, they were noticeably blown away by Lady Gaga's Sound of Music medley.

Breaking Bad star Aaron Paul told me: "She was incredible. I didn't know she had Julie Andrews in her!"

While the celebs used teams of stylists and designers to get their perfect Oscars look, I was also lucky enough to have a top team looking after me at The Standard hotel.
