It became very clear this week that Spidermania has officially set in. With only 2 weeks to go, expect to see even more of Tobey and Kirsten's smiling(?) faces. To test yourself on what else went down this week, just take the quiz!
Madonna and David continued their tour of Malawi this week by visiting a day care center in Masekese. She seems to be enjoying herself but evidently her whole trip isn't going exactly as planned. She had been planning to meet with Nelson Mandela but he refused her invitation and she's said to be "devastated." After seeing her here that's obviously a bit of an exaggeration. Her rep denies the whole thing saying Madonna "never planned to meet him. She'd be honored, I'm sure. But she's focusing on Malawi. South Africa is Oprah's territory." We're sure Madonna is just happy enough helping out where she can.
Lenny Kravitz brought out his slickest shades and leather jacket for last night's Riverkeeper Benefit Dinner Honoring the Hearst Corporation in NYC. Unfortunately, he was dateless, but Ed Burns and Christy Turlington held up the cute couple factor for everyone. In my typical not being able to separate real life from television way seeing Ed makes me want to ask if he's nervous for the premiere of his new TV show starring Johnny Drama. But then I realize that's on Entourage. And Ed Burns does not have a new TV show premiering. Yeah, I've got a life. Also though, I want to finish doing Ed's tie for him.
Angelina may play the role of mother to four young children and partner to Brad Pitt around here most of the time, but this summer we're going to get to see her playing a slightly different part -- Mariane Pearl, widow of slain American journalist Daniel Pearl. Angelina and Brad are set to debut the film, A Mighty Heart, at the extra star-studded Cannes Film Festival this summer (where Brad's Ocean's 13 will also premiere), but before then EW got a little peek into what it was like making this heavy film. Here are highlights:
On the school children paparazzi incident: "I'll say this,'' Jolie offers. ''We were in a school we were legally allowed to be in. We had permits for exactly what we were doing. And the paparazzi tried to get into the school when we were at the gate, and the parents showed up to get their kids. And the paparazzi rushed through the gates and caused chaos. It was not the film production that caused chaos. We were only guilty of bringing the paparazzi.''
Her costar on working with uber-famous Jolie: ''It would usually take about five minutes before people would figure out that it was Angelina,'' says Futterman. ''So we ended up shooting a lot of the exterior stuff in five-minute increments.''
And just think, that's when Angie is in costume. With all the buzz this movie is already getting, it'll be interesting to see if Angelina the megastar and controversial tabloid figure can take on such an intense role. Something tells me her and Brad's little ones aren't going to be seeing this one anytime soon.
Justin got bundled up while hitting St Andrews golf course in the UK with the number one lady in his life, his mother. We're happy to see JT has had plenty of time to work on his swing prior to starting the European leg of his tour. This isn't JT's sexiest look, but he still scored a new title as Sexiest Male Musician!
If these pictures are any indication, things are getting hottt (with extra t's for emphasis) and heavy between Pete and Ashlee these days. I'm kidding, these are more screaming mellow and hungover, but I guess it's cute that they both love the hell out of their skinny pants and hoodies. Though, Ash honey, it's not a great sign when the dude's looking more put together and wearing the more form-fitting sweatshirt. Just saying.
Rachel Zoe was photographed walking down Robertson, Starbucks in hand, looking ready for some serious shopping. She looked chic in her round sunglasses and Chanel bag, which she wore with of-the-moment thigh-high boots, a denim Current/Elliott biker jacket, and printed scarf.
