Photographer to the stars Annie Leibovitz has been recruited to photograph some huge celebs for Disney World's Year of a Million Dreams campaign. So far she's turned Scarlett Johansson into Cinderella (with the help of a Harry Winston $325,000 tiara), Beyonce into Alice in Wonderland, and David Beckham into a prince (wait, he wasn't one already?). Guess which one is our favorite so far? Here's more:
Leibovitz, who will soon dress another set of celebrities as Peter Pan, Tinker Bell and Little Mermaid Ariel, approached British soccer superstar (and new American import) David Beckham, with the concept of playing Sleeping Beauty's Prince. She asked the 31-year-old whether "prince" was an image he would feel comfortable portraying. Not surprisingly, Beckham was game, and the image was photographed near a lake outside Madrid, where he had been playing soccer for the team Real Madrid. The castle superimposed in the background is from Disneyland Paris.
"I'm the prince, and I'm sort of slaying a dragon, which is something I've never done before, obviously," Beckham says in the Disney press materials. "When I was called about it and asked to do it, I was very honored and really looking forward to it, especially with Annie doing the pictures."
Annie sure works wonders with that camera of hers. To check out the amazing photographs of Scarlett, Beyonce, Lyle Lovett and Oliver Platt just read more
Paris Hilton working out on the beach rather than in the bedroom? How odd. Don't worry though, she's not really working out, so much as filming a scene from The Hottie and The Nottie (seen enough shots of her on set yet? No, good, because there are tons of 'em). Paris doesn't seem too upset about this week's Exposure, if you will, which probably only fuels the rumors that she's actually getting a cut of the proceeds.
I will certainly never jump on the Paris is a secret savvy business genius putting on a show of being dumb, but never let it be said that the woman doesn't know how to profit off her own embarrassment. For more of Paris pretending to work out just read more
We all love Jeremy as Ari on Entourage but lately it seems as if he has been staying in character. He recently accused long time pal John Cusack of being jealous of his fame. This week he also scoffed at the fact that Nick Lachey was picked as Cosmo's Fun, Fearless Male, saying quarterback Rex Grossman should have won instead because: "He makes Nick Lachey look like Clay Aiken." So what do you think, is Jeremy turning into his cocky Entourage counterpart?
Britney is back to work in LA after a sad trip home to Louisiana and look who came out of hiding! It's pretty fuzzy, but we get a better first glimpse of little Jayden James. Check out X17 for a video of Britney hard at work with her back up dancers. If you look closely you can see little Jayden in the back with Brit's assistant.
Last night was a family affair for the Paltrows at the premiere of The Good Night. The film stars Gwyneth and is directed by her brother Jake. Their mom Blythe Danner came out to support her two kids, along with family friends Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw. Gwyneth was so moved by Jake's directorial debut she even cried onstage after the screening, saying, "I'm so proud of my brother." Sounds like the film went off without a hitch. Gwyn was evidently concerned that the unpatriotic comments she was said to have made last year (she said later she was misquoted) would hurt her brother's film. But from the big turnout at Sundance, it looks like she has nothing to worry about.

Black Snake Moan premiered at Sundance this week and while JT may not be the lead in the film he continues to promote it with all his heart. We've already told you about how weird this film sounds where Samuel L Jackson plays a washed up musician who makes it his duty to cure the town tramp (Christina Ricci) of her slutty ways. Maybe it all looked great on paper, but this is one of those movies we can't believe ever even got the greenlight. Who knows, maybe it's amazing and at least it brings us JT on the big screen.
Rumor is JT is not only in Sundance promoting Black Snake Moan, but is spending time with Jessica Biel. For more pics of Justin, Christina and the rest of the gang, just read more
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.
