David Beckham, who has taken up residence inside the Staples Center over the past few weeks it seems, was on hand to cheer on the LA Lakers again this week … but this time, he did not bring along either his children or his wife … nor did he meet up with any celebrity friends. No, this time, Becks took in the game all by himself:

BUT … he wasn’t alone for long … you may note that there are empty seats next to Becks. After the jump, check out who joined Becks at the Staples Center for this Lakers game …

Beyoncé was lookin’ her Sasha Fiercest at Escape nightclub in NYC last when as she hosted Gotham magazine’s annual gala extravaganza. While Ms. Thang was lookin’ pretty damn slick in her curve-huggin’ dress, I find that I am WAY too preoccupied by those massively huge Chanel balls she’s got dangling from her earlobes:

Again, I should stress that I have NO IDEA what the Gotham gala was celebratin’ (an issue release, perhaps?) but I am really taken with B‘s ensemble. She looks really amazing in this dress … but I just can’t get over those ridic earrings. They look like they belong on an Xmas tree rather than hanging from someone’s ears. I’m afraid I cannot endorse her choice of accessories but the rest of her looks damn hot.

The New York Post is reporting that Madonna has signed on to be the new face of Louis Vuitton‘s 2009 ad campaign. You know, I thought it was very interesting that Madonna — who isn’t a big purse carrier like some of the other high profile celebrity women — started carrying around a garishly orange LV purse in recent weeks (like, for example, when she emerged from the Kabbalah Centre in SoCal last week) … and now, I guess we know why … for a reported $10 million bucks, her Madgesty is gonna be seen totin’ around LV purses all year long next year:

MADONNA is being paid handsomely to be the new face of Louis Vuitton’s 2009 marketing campaign. The pop queen, who’s getting divorced from Guy Ritchie over issues ranging from sex to kabbalah water, is raking in $10 million for her modeling gig, sources told Page Six. And, despite online buzz that the shoot would be done by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot, WWD reports the nod went to legendary Steven Meisel, who did Madonna’s notorious 1992 book, “Sex.” Madonna was seen last weekend cozying up with Vuitton designer Marc Jacobs at the Chateau Marmont in Hollywood, discussing the clothing. Madonna’s rep declined to comment.

I understand that Maddy sat for a new photoshoot in SoCal on the same day that she was snapped carting around this LV purse from the Kabbalah Centre. While I think the shoot prolly wasn’t for her new LV campaign, I’m pretty sure it won’t be long before those photos get snapped. I can’t wait to see them … Madonna + Steven Meisel + Louis Vuitton = Woot!

Say it ain’t so! Over the weekend, rumors began to swirl that Paris Hilton was spied canoodling with her ex-boyfriend Stavros Niarchos in Miami Beach, FL and now Star magazine is reporting that she and current boyfriend Benji Madden have called it quits. The mag is claiming that Paris gave Benji the heave-ho … according to Star, they’re dunzo, y’all:

It’s splitsville for Paris Hilton and Benji Madden. Days after Paris was “all over” her ex Stavros Niarchos, the heiress dropped the Good Charlotte rocker like a bad habit, telling him he was “too controlling” and that she needed her freedom back, a source tells Star exclusively. Shortly after their breakup, which took place on Nov. 17, Paris let her hair down at Villa nightclub, where she partied with her sister, Nicky, and Nicky’s boyfriend David Katzenberg. The following night she was also without Benji when she hit the hot spot Apple Paris. “Paris was fed up with Benji always telling her what to do and bossing her around,” says the insider. “She couldn’t take his overbearing ways anymore. It was stressing her out. He can be very aggressive and he was just too much trouble.” Benji didn’t take the breakup well, says the source. “He fought for a second chance and asked if they could talk it out but Paris said she was done talking,” reveals the insider. The demise of Paris and Benji’s relationship, after nine months of dating, didn’t happen overnight. “They’ve had “a lot of fights in the past,” says the source. The nail in the coffin was a showdown over Paris’ flirty night out with her ex-boyfriend Stavros on Saturday. “Benji didn’t like it that she spent the evening with Stavros,” says the source. “He blew up and Paris felt victimized. He gave her a lot of grief about that.” They bottom line is that they were just different people. “She felt she couldn’t cut loose and party,” says the source. “He doesn’t drink and doesn’t think she should either. She felt too fenced in.”

HMMM. It would make sense under normal circumstances that Paris would be ready to move on with a new boyfriend (considering that she doesn’t seem to stay attached to anyone person for long) but Benji is such a great guy, she would have to be utterly and completely INSANE to think she could do better. I’m not entirely convinced by this Star magazine report but, as I said, it’s entirely feasible that it could be true. What do y’all think … could Paris and Benji really be dunzo for good?

UPDATE: Life & Style is also reporting the dunzoness of Paris and Benji — tho their report denies that Paris hooked up with Stavros, quoting an “insider” who claims that the break-up reports are true:

It’s all over between Paris Hilton and boyfriend Benji Madden, Life & Style can officially report. “Sadly, it’s true,” Vanessa Fontana, a contestant on Paris’ BFF show, confirms exclusively to Life & Style. “Paris and Benji have split. I love Paris, and I just want her to be happy. I think that they’ll be better as friends.” Vanessa disputed rumors that the split had anything to do with Paris’ brief reunion with ex Stavros Niarchos this past weekend in Miami. “No, nobody else is involved,” she says. “Paris and Benji were loyal and faithful to each other. I was with Paris in Miami, and Stavros came over to our table, and the two of them talked for literally two minutes. It was a friendly conversation. They definitely did not hook up.” Sources say the breakup is due to the basic differences in the couple: Benji is a quiet homebody, while Paris is very social, both personally and professionally. And in recent weeks, the strain was beginning to show. “All of Paris’ friends have noticed that she hasn’t been happy lately,” says a friend. “Benji told Paris he didn’t like the BFFs from her show, and that he disapproves of her friends and doesn’t get along with her sister.” Their work schedules have not helped: Paris regularly travels the world, and is booked with back-to-back projects for the next 12 months, while Benji is currently in the recording studio working on a new Good Charlotte album with his twin, Joel. Paris is said to be devastated by the breakup. “She wishes it could be different,” says the friend. “Benji always treated her like his princess. He’s a really great guy with a big heart and she loves him very much. Maybe at some point in the future, the two of them could try again, but right now, they’re just too different as people.”

I’m still waiting for official confirmation but … it looks like they may really be dunzo for good.

Last night Sarah, Mark, Tracey, Erik and I met up for a quick bite to eat at Union Street in Detroit, MI before we headed over en masse to Ford Field to see Madonna‘s Sticky & Sweet World Tour homecoming concert last night. This show was the first time Madonna brought a concert tour to Detroit (to Michigan, even) since her Drowned World Tour so the whole Detroit metro area was very excited to come out and see her. Here are a few pics that I snapped at last night’s show:

Maddy sounded really happy to be home … she gave Detroit 13 shout-outs, made 2 mentions to her “home town”, mentioned the “Motor City” once, uttered the phrases “There’s no place like home” and “You can take the girl out of Detroit but you can’t take the Detroit out of the girl”, proclaimed that “Detroit girls don’t take no shit” and asked the audience to get loud because she “don’t come here very often, so make it big”. When I saw her in LA she didn’t really talk to the crowd very much … last night, she wouldn’t stop talking to the hometown crowd. The show was really fun, we had a blast. I also got to meet a few Detroit (and one Windsor, Canada) Pink readers at the show last night:

I have to give a shout-out to Jeffrey, Zach, Julia (and their friends Allie and Sophie), Michelle (from Windsor) — and an extra pic of Robbie (from Melbourne, Australia), who I met at the LA Madonna show a couple of weeks ago. It was great to meet you all :)

After the jump, check out a video that I shot at last night’s show of Madonna performing the requested song of the night with the entire crowd, a song she recently vowed she’d never perform again — Material Girl …

According to the ever-reliable social networking site Facebook, it appears that congratulations are in order for Kelly Osbourne and her model fiancée Luke Worrall. According to Worrall‘s Facebook profile page, the young couple have decided to tie the knot, y’all:

Kelly Osbourne is getting hitched. She is engaged to model Luke Worrall, he has revealed on his Facebook page. According to Britain’s The Daily Mail, he changed his online relationship status to “engaged to Kelly Osbourne.” Osbourne, 23, has been dating Worrall, 18, for about six months.

Now, before any of y’all run out to pick out wedding gifts for the happy couple, I’d caution y’all to wait and see if the couple actually makes it down the aisle. This Facebook announcement could just be a joke and even if it is true, Kelly O. has not been very lucky in love before. While tentative congrats may be in order, let’s keep the champagne on ice until we get more substantive confirmation. I realize that some of you may have *no idea* who Luke Worrell is (I just learned about this guy a couple of months ago). After the jump, check out some of the 18-year old’s work as a model …

Okay … so mebbe calling this new Britney Spears promo picture “death-defying” may be a bit much but she is walking a tightrope (albeit a Photoshopped tightrope) and I think it’s kinda cute … much cuter than the promo pics we’ve seen thus far. It is exactly the kind of pic that YOU could submit to the Britney Contest that I’m running right now:

Yeah, this is a very fun pic. Yesterday we got to see two new 30-sec promo vids, courtesy of SKY1, for the new documentary Britney Spears: For The Record and today we get to see a different one courtesy of MTV. After the jump, check it out in full …

While People magazine is honoring its annual list of the Sexiest Men Alive today, GQ magazine has compiled its own list of men to honor as well. Both male and female celebs made their way out to the Chateau Marmont in LA, CA last night to enjoy GQ magazine’s 2008 Men Of The Year Party — bestowing top honors to Leonardo DiCaprio and John Malcovich. Here are a few pics from the red carpet arrivals last night:

The Body Of Lies star picked up the Leading Man Trophy, while Malkovich was named Mad Genius of the Year at the men’s magazine awards ceremony in Los Angeles on Tuesday. President-elect Barack Obama was given the nod as Game Changer of the Year, actor Jon Hamm was handed the Breakout award and Olympic champion Michael Phelps took home the ultimate accolade for Golden Boy of the Year. The glittering party attracted some of Hollywood’s brightest male stars, including DiCaprio, Zac Efron, Adam Brody and Aaron Eckhart.

The main list of winners is as follows:

After the jump, check out a few more photos from the red carpet arrivals last night — there is more hotness to be had …

The sweeping new Baz Luhrmann film Australia had its world premiere debut at the George Street Greater Union Cinemas in Sydney, Australia yesterday and was attended, of course, by the movie’s principal stars Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman (just named by People magazine as the Sexiest Man Alive). Described as the Aussie Gone With the Wind (in that the movie is grand, larger than life and romantic), Australia is set in WWII Northern OZ and throws together two characters that initially butt heads and then, naturally, fall in love over the course of the film. Here are a few pics from the red carpet arrivals from yesterday’s world premiere:

Red carpets were rolled out in Sydney and the dusty outback on Tuesday for the world premiere of the epic movie “Australia” which aims to showcase the rugged continent, its history and indigenous people to the world. Director Baz Luhrmann’s ambitious and grandly named film, the most expensive made in Australia, was released amid a blaze of publicity and a race to finish the movie on time. Australian co-stars Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman have both carved out lucrative Hollywood careers but wanted to work with Luhrmann, a perfectionist who was so busy editing the film until the last moment that the cast did not see it before the premiere. “I knew we would get there but it has been a long time,” Jackman told Reuters as he walked the red carpet in Sydney, while screenings were held in three other Australian locations. The two-hour 40-minute long movie, which is reported to have cost News Corp’s 20th Century Fox about US$130 million, is a World War Two drama set in stunning Australian landscape. An English aristocrat (Kidman) travels to Australia and joins forces with a “drover” or cowboy (Jackman) and an Aboriginal child to drive a herd of cattle across Australia, falling in love along the way. Australia is pinning high hopes on the romantic adventure, which Luhrmann said he had filmed in the style of “Gone With The Wind” hoping to make his mark on Australian film history, but it remained to be seen if it would draw audiences globally. “There will be some (bad reviews), and there will be some people who really embrace it,” said Luhrmann, admitting spending such a large amount on an old-fashioned style movie was a risk. Early reviews from Australian critics were mixed, with David Stratton in The Australian writing it was not the hoped-for masterpiece while Jim Schembri in The Sydney Morning Herald said it was good but not destined to be a classic — and way too long … Kidman, 41, who worked with Luhrmann on his last and third movie “Moulin Rouge” in 2001, said making “Australia” was a “once in a lifetime thing” for her. “Rarely do you get a make a film that you have dreamed of doing since you were little, which will be part of Australian cinema,” said Kidman. “This is a celebration for me and hopefully for this country.” The movie also focuses on “the stolen generation,” when tens of thousands of Aboriginal children were taken away from their families between the 1880s and 1960s to be raised by whites. Australia’s new Labor government this year issued a long-sought formal apology to Aborigines for past injustices, heralding a new era in race relations in the nation … Luhrmann said the release of the film in the same year as the national apology was coincidental, but in light of the apology, he felt he had to work the message into the story. “Australia” opens in the United States and Australia on November 26, and in Britain on December 26.

I really love all of Lurhmann‘s films … he has an eye for making really inventive and exciting films that not only entertain but also look really beautiful. I became a fan of his with William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet and count Moulin Rouge as one of my all-time fave films. I am very excited to see this movie (I understand there is a scene in the film where Hugh Jackman dumps a bucket of water on his half-nekkid body … being well aware of how the man looks while half-nekkid and wet, I’m game) but am going in without any high expectations. The movie sounds grand but, for me, it doesn’t have to be a timeless classic that will last the ages. I’m just a fan of Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman and Baz Luhrmann — what more could I want? I’ll deffo see this movie when it opens next week … mebbe I’ll run into one of you in the popcorn line?
