Ray J seemed in good health as he and a pal did a little shopping in Beverly Hills yesterday afternoon ... just a few days after he was hospitalized in Las Vegas.

As TMZ first reported, Ray J was taken to the hospital the morning after the Billboard Awards after suffering from a combination of exhaustion and dehydration. It was Sophie Monk, who endorses an ingrown hair removal product with Ray J, who discovered him in his hotel room and called 911.

She's baaaaaaaaaaaaack ... Britney Spears just showed up for the second day of filming "X Factor" in Austin, Texas today -- wearing the same dress as yesterday ... for continuity.

It should be exciting ... at least if it's anything like Britney's first day -- when the singer walked off the set in the middle of auditions, disappearing for four full performances.

Some sources say Britney was upset over a contestant's rendition of her song "Hold It Against Me." Others say Britney just needed a break.

But it doesn't matter -- as we first reported, Britney's got "X Factor" over a barrel ... locking down a contract that pretty much allows her to do whatever the hell she wants.

3:37 PM PT -- That's a wrap for now. The judges just finished one of today's tapings and waved goodbye to the audience ... check out all those Apple products.

3:32 PM PT -- Britney just said yes to a contestant the other three judges rejected -- saying, "I'll sign you personally, sweetie." One problem ... Britney doesn't have a label.

2:25 PM PT -- We're told Britney has had a great start to the day and seems much more confident -- even getting so bold as to disagree with Simon. She did take one short break, about five minutes, and she missed one audition ... which everyone on set was totally ok with.

1:50 PM PT -- ALL the judges are wearing the same outfits as yesterday -- and sources tell us, the reason is producers didn't get all the shots they needed on the first day of filming ... and need to fill in some gaps.

Britney already seems to be in better spirits today than yesterday ... spotted dancing behind the judges' table with Demi Lovato with Simon Cowell sitting beside them.

Jimmy Fallon got two big eyefuls at a signing for his new book "Thank You Notes 2," when a fake mustached fame-hungry female "fan" went topless at a Barnes and Noble in Manhattan on Thursday.

Turns out the streaker is this chick named Holly Van Voast, who has been known to get attention by flashing her lady goods in public before. Just a few months ago, the peroxide blonde was arrested for baring her knockers inside NYC's famed St. Patrick's Cathedral.

Using their powers of camouflage, Malia Obama's Secret Service detail managed to go totally unnoticed at a tween-filled One Direction concert Thursday night ... well, ALMOST unnoticed.

While President Obama's 13-year-old daughter screamed her face off at the Patriot Center in Fairfax, VA ... one of her protectors kept his eyes peeled for danger while trying to blend in with the army of screaming teenage girls.

Auditions are set to kick off any minute at the Erwin Center in Austin -- and we're told Britney's fellow "X Factor" judges Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid are there too.

Demi Lovato also showed up ... and got dissed by a fan holding a sign that says, "Go Britney."

Tara Reid has come a long way since 2006 -- when Kim Kardashian famously left her in the dust outside a hot Hollywood nightclub -- in fact, just last night, Tara actually exchanged WORDS with the reality TV queen.

It's a video from the annals of TMZ history -- a young and nubile Kim Kardashian walking arm-in-arm with Paris Hilton into Hyde nightclub in 2006 ... breezing straight past Tara Reid, who'd been forced to wait in line.

But last night in Cannes (on Diddy's yacht) -- we're told Kim actually acknowledged Tara's existence, even speaking to the "American Pie" actress for several full minutes.

And to bring it all full circle -- Paris Hilton was there too!!! But we're told Kim didn't spend much time with her.

So we gotta ask ...

If Mark Zuckerberg's new wife was expecting a MASSIVE diamond on her wedding ring ... she was SORELY disappointed.

Just days after the surprise wedding of the century, Priscilla Chan-Zuckerberg took her brand new ruby rock on the road ... flashing her piece during a lunch date with a friend in Palo Alto, CA yesterday.

According to reports, the $20 BILLION Facebook honcho -- who has a reputation for not caring about excessive displays of wealth -- designed the ring himself.

So, we gotta ask ...

Breakups do a body good ... especially for Elin Nordegren ... who was flaunting her bikini hardbody just days after ending things with her Tiger Woods rebound guy Jamie Dingman.

The Swedish 32-year-old mother of two was hanging out in Miami this weekend ... after announcing her 1-year relationship with the wealthy businessman officially hit the skids.

Since divorcing Tiger, Elin has been busy buying a new $12 million North Palm Beach estate and then leveling it to build her dream home from the ground up.

Elin definitely looks like $100 million bucks.

Despite the unwavering support from her new boss Simon Cowell, Britney seems to be taking out her pre-show anxiety on her cuticles ... a problem she's been dealing with for years.

With his face bruised and bandaged up, "Hunger Games" star Josh Hutcherson was spotted leaving a doctor's office in Beverly Hills on Monday ... after suffering a mysterious injury to his nose.

Hutcherson first tweeted about the injury on May 9th ... saying, "Just had surgery to fix my broken nose" ... and later his rep told us the actor had been diagnosed with a deviated septum.

But there's one big question -- how DID the 19-year-old movie star break his nose?

Josh isn't saying ... and neither is his rep ... who told TMZ "no further details will be released."

Despite snagging Britney Spears and Demi Lovato for "The X Factor," former "American Idol" honcho Simon Cowell has hit a new low ... cut top.

While arriving to the "Britain's Got Talent" afterparty at the Dorchester Hotel in London last night, the 52-year-old mogul -- and his pack of Kool cigs -- nearly had a nip slip as his severely unbuttoned shirt showed off his sexy hairy man-bosoms.

Four months after giving birth, "The Help" star Bryce Dallas Howard was spotted exercising her post-pregnancy legs on a walk with her adorable baby daughter Beatrice in L.A. this weekend.

Bryce -- who's currently nominated for an MTV Movie Award for "Best On-Screen Dirtbag" -- knows raising two kids is a total workout.
