How, you ask? By hosting the three day Wireless Festival in London's famed Hyde Park -- our Hot Spot of the Day.

In recent years, the city's largest live music festival had relied on rap's biggest names to bring in the crowds. But this time around, artists like Kanye West and Jay-Z were replaced by the more pop oriented Will.i.am and his BEP, who co-headlined the event along with dance DJs The Chemical Brothers and David Guetta. Thousands of fans -- including stars like Kelly Osbourne -- flocked to the British capital to take in the eclectic line-up, which also included Swedish rockers The Hives and a partially-clothed Taylor Momsen.

Famous for its Speakers' Corner -- where people go to practice their open-air public speaking abilities, i.e. say crazy things -- Hyde Park is one of London's largest and most iconic parks. At a size of 350 acres, or 142 hectares (for those who speak in British numbers), the green oasis is more than half the size of Monaco. It's also a fantastic place to enjoy one of London's four annual days of sunshine.

Here's a better look at Hyde Park, in relation to the rest of London:



And here's pictures of the stars and artists enjoying the Wireless Festival. Remember when the keytar was cool? Yeah, we don't either actually. But we imagine it's difficult to play when you're wearing tight, leather gloves.

Did Fergie blind half the crowd with her gold-plated space suit? Is everyone else on stage wearing sunglasses so they don't have to look at her? The answer is yes. And yes.

Kelly Osbourne ran into some trouble trying to navigate her and a friend backstage into the VIP area. Between her bleached blonde hair and spiky leather jacket, it's safe to assume security had no idea who she actually was.

Grace Jones is never one to shy away from an esoteric outfit, which explains why she rocked this funky hat-of-sorts to the festival. We imagine its dorsal fin like shape helped keep the high-heeled pop star from toppling over as she danced about the stage.

Taylor Momsen must have assumed that if she put on a crazy enough looking pair of heels, that people wouldn't notice she had no pants on. Then again, compared with what she wore to a concert last month, this was quite the conservative look.
