Actress Natalie Portman is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of V magazine. Altho her coverstory interview is not yet available online, we do get to check out her V mag photoshoot shot by famed photographer Mario Testino:

Natalie’s shoot with Mario Testino took place earlier this year in London and features a harder look for her. I understand this magazine feature will focus a bit on her new film Brothers which hits theaters this holiday season … but, as I mentioned above, her article is not yet available online for reading just yet. After the jump, check out a few photos from her magazine spread — she looks fantastic …

Just days after her entire family was reunited again after daddy Becks and her eldest son Brooklyn were gallivanting in Europe together, Victoria Beckham packed up her middle child Romeo and jetted off to London, England to take care of some biz of her own. It’s crazy, one member or the other of the Beckham fam is flying off to the UK from SoCal from week to week — that sounds exhausting! Here are pics of VB and Romeo (with Teddy Bear firmly in hand) upon arrival at LAX Airport on their way to London yesterday afternoon:

I presume that VB is headed back home to England to do some work for her fashion line which is prominently featured in the new issue of V magazine. A few different looks from her line are showcased in a photospread inside the new issue but they are not modeled by Vicki B. herself. Instead, a robotic doppelgänger look-alike is featured in the mag with a fake baby in tow. After the jump, check out a few photos from the V mag spread …

Cameron Diaz is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of V magazine. In what appears to be an homage to Madonna-meets-Gwen Stefani, Cameron rocks the conical bra (a la Madonna’s Blond Ambition Tour) and Gwen’s now-trademark blonde up do hair’do. Here is Cameron’s V mag cover:

This issue of V magazine has been dubbed The Beauty Issue and Cameron was photographed by fashion photographers Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott in London. For her spread, Cam rocked Prada shorts and boots and, despite the Jean Paul Gaultier-like look of it, the bra was fashioned by the stylist and made from gaffer tape! To be honest, at quick glance … you can hardly tell it’s Cameron Diaz at all. After the jump, check out a few more photos from this pretty cool V photospread …

90210’s new generation “Dylan McKay” — Dustin Milligan who plays lacrosse heartthrob Ethan Ward — is featured in an older issue of V magazine showing off his bare chest for no reason at all … not that anyone is complaining, mind you … behold:

This particular issue of V magazine appears to be a wee bit old … I believe it was published before 90210 debuted last Fall since the accompanying blurb contains erroneous information about one of the characters on the show (refers to “queen bee” Naomi Clark as Naomi Bennett and ends with the reminder that “90210 begins airing on The CW in September 2008″). In any event, it’s a shame that we missed seeing this photo the first time around. We’ve been seeing a lot of the 90210 girls in various magazines but nary a sight of the 90210 lads has been had. I say, more shirtless Dustin! Also, more dudes on the show!

Beyoncé (aka Sasha Fierce) is on the cover (all three of them) and in the pages of the new issue of V magazine and in her coverstory interview talks about the other side of her personality that comes out when she is on stage. A fitting topic, considering B is getting ready to embark on a 110-date world tour very soon. Here is Beyoncé’s V mag cover (one of three) and a portion of her interview:

She’s known as the sexy, strong, fierce singer famous for her stylish outfits and curvy figure. But Beyoncé sheds her tough outer skin to reveal a softer side in a new interview as she begins the exhaustive preparations for her 110-date tour starting next year. “When I’m onstage I’m aggressive and strong and not afraid of my sexuality. The tone of my voice gets different, and I’m fearless. I’m just a different person.” And the name of that different person? Her alter ego, ‘Sasha Fierce’, whose name is the title of the second CD of her new 17-track double album. “It’s a way for me to differentiate what I do onstage from who I really am – It’s a way for me to not lose myself, to keep my life in perspective, because it’s really hard sometimes to stay on earth when you’re a celebrity. There’s so much going on, and so many people give you whatever you want and say everything you do is great. At this point, I kind of have it down. I know boundaries, and I can look at somebody and say I don’t want them in my circle. I’ve been doing this for twelve years professionally, and I’ve learned. it’s easier now. Fame is a lot of work, but it doesn’t consume my life. I’m not obsessed.” The singer tells V Magazine (www.vmagazine.com) that her new tour will be “stripped down, but also bigger” than 2007’s appropriately titled ‘Beyoncé Experience’ … “It’s funny because right before the show I’m under the stage making sure my double-stick is in the right place, my pack is turned on, and my shoes have the stickies on the bottom so I don’t slip – all of these things that are so not glamorous. Then I take my last slip of water, clear my throat, close my eyes, and tell myself: ‘You are fierce. You are fierce. You are fierce!’ And the second I take that first step and hear the crowd, I kind of transform. By the time I get up to the stage, I’m in the zone. It’s like I’m ready for war.”

Okay … I’m not trying to hate but she does sound a little bit crazy here. I mean, I get that she feels she has an alter-ego when she gets on stage but to talk to that alter-ego and name it … and then utter “you are fierce, you are fierce, you are fierce” is a bit odd. I am so amused by the famously wealthy. After the jump, check out a few pics from Beyoncé’s V magazine spread as well as the alternate magazine covers …

Tyra Banks is featured on the cover and in the pages of the new issue of V magazine … here is her coverphoto:

It’s a great photo, I think. She’s deffo channeling a little bit of 1970’s Diana Ross in this coverphoto. She looks great … I can’t wait to see what the rest of the photospread looks like.
