TMZ cameras were working overtime on Tuesday night as they hit the streets of NY to bring you this version of Star Catcher.
First stop of the evening was celeb favorite Marquee, where Christina Aguilera was on hand to celebrate the release of her new album "Back to Basics." The blonde bombshell tantalized fans in her sleek, white dress before setting the paparazzi into a flashbulb frenzy. Also showing up to support the Grammy winner was Babyface and former "Idol" Mario Vazquez.
From there we checked up on an old friend of TMZ, Natalie Reid AKA "Fake Paris". The famous impersonator hit the town with a group of friends to celebrate her six-page spread in the current issue of Playboy. You might also recognize Natalie from a recent episode of "The Simple Life," where she came face to face with the real socialite.
Check out all the action in this NY version of Star Catcher.

Kenny Edmonds, aka Babyface, has sued singer Anita Baker for allegedly failing to pay him for a song he produced for her.
In the lawsuit, filed Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Babyface claims that Baker refused to pay him producer's fees and royalties for the song, 'Like You Used to Do,' which he produced and Baker recorded. Babyface claims he also co-wrote the song with Baker. 'Like You Used to Do,' was included in Baker's album, 'My Everything,' which achieved gold record status.
Babyface also alleges that Baker entered into an oral agreement for him to perform at her concerts in Los Angeles, Detroit, New York and Chicago -- all in June and July of 2005. The suit claims that Babyface performed in Los Angeles and New York and that Baker cancelled the concerts in Detroit and Chicago.
Babyface claims Baker was supposed to pay him $75,000 for each of the four concerts, but that he was only paid $150,000. He is demanding an additional $150,000 for the concerts that Baker cancelled.
The suit asks for at least $250,000, plus royalties and attorneys fees.
