Yesterday we got to see the full set of ad campaign photos for Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 09/10 featuring their latest spokesmodel Madonna and today we get to check out a couple of behind the scenes photos from the campaign photoshoot. Here are a couple pics of Maddy with head LV designer Marc Jacobs (with his man Lorezno Martone) on the set of the photoshoot earlier this year:

Marc Jacobs was so pleased with this spring’s Louis Vuitton campaign featuring Madonna that he was eager to do an encore. “But very quickly Marc said, ‘I want something completely different,’” related Antoine Arnault, Vuitton’s communication director. The new ingredients included a dash of Tamara de Lempicka and a soupçon of Man Ray for color-drenched images by Steven Meisel with a surreal edge, thanks to generous use of solarization, a technique of overexposure first perfected by Ray. “It gives something very graphic, more edgy” than the first Madonna campaign, also by Meisel, which depicted her as a French coquette in a Parisian bistro setting, Arnault said. The new spots, which break in a range of August titles, feature a variety of runway looks and leather goods, many in the house’s signature monogram. Asked about the impact of the first Madonna campaign, Arnault said, snapping his fingers for emphasis, “Everything she was wearing in the first campaign was sold within a few months. People came into the store saying, ‘I want the Madonna bag, the Madonna shoes.” Arnault declined to specify budgets for the fall ads, but said investments would be “flattish” versus last year. “We’re one of the rare brands to have not reduced investments,” he said. Also slated for the second half is a new campaign devoted to the Tambour watch.

As I mentioned yesterday, I’m not too enraptured by this new LV campaign featuring Madge, mainly because I’m not really feeling the Photoshopping effect added to the photos. As you can see from these behind the scenes photos, she looked fine without all the color manipulation (well, as fine as a grown woman can look while wearing bunny ears on her head). Even still … these campaign photos will be seen in fashion magazines around the world for the rest of the year. After the jump, check out one more LV F/W 09/10 campaign photo featuring Madonna was that not included in the batch we saw yesterday …

As I mentioned above, Stephen King penned a memorial of MJ for this issue which you can read after the jump. Additionally, I mentioned over the weekend that Time published a tribute issue of their magazine in honor of Michael Jackson and the fine folks at ONTD! provide some scans from inside the mag that, IMHO, absolutely sum up MJ‘s life perfectly. Check it all out after the jump …

Family and friends of Farrah Fawcett convened together at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in downtown Los Angeles, CA yesterday to pay their last respects to the late actress who passed away at age 62 last Thursday. The private service was attended by Farrah‘s long-time companion Ryan O’Neal, her only child Redmond (who was allowed to attend his mother’s funeral service altho he is currently serving a jail sentence for violating his probation) and a gathering of close friends and family:

A tearful Ryan and Redmond O’Neal joined Farrah Fawcett’s closest friends and family for the actress’s private funeral Tuesday afternoon at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in downtown Los Angeles. Fawcett’s Charlie’s Angels costar Kate Jackson, Marla Maples, Joan Collins and Tatum O’Neal were among the 200 guests attending the hour-long Catholic service, where longtime pal Alana Stewart and Fawcett’s doctor Lawrence Piro delivered the eulogies. “Goodbye sweet girl,” said Stewart. “[Farrah] never felt sorry for herself during her illness … she fought cancer furiously.” “She’s the most beautiful angel in heaven,” Stewart added. “She always seemed so indestructible.” With city police and private security lining the streets, a hearse drove up just a few minutes before the funeral began. Ryan and son Redmond served as pallbearers carrying Fawcett’s casket, adorned with yellow and orange flowers. A man in a kilt played “Amazing Grace” on a bagpipe at the beginning of the service, which also included Bible readings and prayer. “The funeral was really just beautiful and so sweet,” Lisa Fawcett, the actress’s cousin, told PEOPLE. A special moment during the service came when “everyone just embraced [Redmond],” she says about Fawcett’s 24-year-old son, who was allowed to leave jail and attend.

I understand that letters written by Farrah Fawcett to her loved ones were read aloud at her service which expressed how much she loved and cared for those closest to her:

A friend read out Farrah’s letter to Ryan, which addressed the ups and downs of their on/off 30 year relationship: ‘When I figure out what it is all about, I can tell you.’ Redmond, who was given three hours release from jail to say goodbye to his mother, was also given inspiration to conquer his drug problems. Farrah’s letter to her 24-year-old son said: ‘The greatest gift of my life was to be your mother. By leaving you behind I hope you will be able to work out all your troubles and grow as a person.’ The friend also read a letter addressed to Farrah’s beloved father James Fawcett: ‘You gave me life and you were the greatest dad around.’ During the hour long service, Ryan, Redmond and James joined Hollywood stars, friends and family paid tribute to the former Charlie’s Angels star who died of cancer last week … Redmond, who was allowed to visit his mother at her bedside before she died, read a passage from the Old Testament book Lamentations while his father read from the book of Wisdom.

Guests were given an order of service booklet which had a glamorous image of Farrah on its cover. Giving one of her famous smiles she was seen wearing a sequinned dress. The order of service also included a few lines of the James Joyce poem At That Hour. The funeral was held just five days after the 62-year-old lost her long battle against cancer.

At last, Charlie’s Angel can now rest in heaven where she belongs. I truly hope that peace and serenity comes to Farrah‘s loved ones and that they will be able to heal from their terrible loss. I’m sure it’s of some comfort to know that her painful suffering has ended. Rest well, Farrah Fawcett.

In May we saw photos of Britney Spears on the SoCal set of her new music video for her latest single Radar. That video, now complete, has managed to make its way to the Internets. Here are a few screencaps from Brit Brit‘s new video:

I have to say … I kinda don’t like it. The song was never a fave of mine but it tends to grow on me the more I hear it. I was hoping a slammin’ music video would renew my interest in the song … but unfortch, this video looks more like a bad telenovela (complete with swarthy Latin love interest) rather than a hip music video. After the jump, check out the video for yourselves — you may like it more than I do …
