David Beckham Makes a Charming Prince

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

Kennedy Honors One Wild and Crazy Guy Among Others

PopSugar — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 10:31:25 -0800

Last night celebs headed to DC to celebrate five stars from different areas of the entertainment industry with Kennedy Center Honors. Cameron Diaz looked fabulous in her funky strapless dress to present Martin Scorsese with an award for his directorial work. Jordin Sparks (is it just us or is she already looking thinner?) and Vanessa Williams were in the house to pay homage to honoree Diana Ross by performing her songs, while musicians Brian Wilson and Steve Fleischer also walked away with medals around their necks. Steve Carell honored one of our favorite funny men Steve Martin and of course threw in a few of his own jokes, saying, "His act was that of an idiot savant, minus the savant. He's a national treasure in the loosest sense of the term."

We've definitely been missing Steve Carell on The Office, but we're glad that we're still getting a dose of his humor during the show's hiatus. Lots more pics including Aretha Franklin, Martin Short, and Ciara so just read more

Michael Douglas Bashes in GQ

PopSugar — Mon, 13 Mar 2006 13:32:34 -0800

Michael Douglas shares his two cents on the Brad, Angelina and Jennifer Aniston Bermuda triangle as well as Hollywood marriages of ladies like Renee Zellweger and Julia Roberts. NY Daily News reports more of the GQ article:

"I don't know about Brad Pitt," says Douglas, "leaving that beautiful woman [Jennifer Aniston] to go hold orphans for Angelina [Jolie]. I mean how long is that going to last?"

Brad and Angelina aren't the only couple Douglas evaluates in the new issue of GQ.

Though he denies reports that he spurned treatment for sex addiction, the 61-year-old divorcÃ© credits current wife Catherine Zeta-Jones with saving him from a meaningless bachelorhood.

"You learn to respect something of value and nurture it and treat it well," he says. "I mean, don't ask me what happened with Renee Zellweger [and her short-lived husband Kenny Chesney]. I don't know how you get married for four months. And Julia [Roberts] with Lyle [Lovett]. There must be some incredible things you find out one night. I mean, I don't know."

And do you think he knows how lucky he has it with a woman half his age to have his children? I'm surprised Michael opened up like this but he has been missing from the headlines recently so maybe this was a way to get back into our lives. It's certainly not by the paparazzi pics of him and Catherine in St Barts a few weeks ago.
