Starbucks is doing their part to stop the spread of AIDS. Purchase any of their three RED drinks and five cents goes to The Global Fund. Helping out at the event on Friday are from L to R - Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Annabella Sciorra, Mary Louise Parker, Helena Christensen and Mario Batali.
Not a great photo of Ben Kingsley, but don't think I have seen him in a photo with Ralph Fiennes previous to this so, figured Ben wouldn't mind. Plus, he's kind of an ass anyway so it kind of works.
The last time I remember someone taking a photo of Britney Spears on a balcony she had her hand down the front of Kevin Federline's pants. Now she is waving it to the world. Try not to think about it too long, especially if you are close to a meal time.
Carla Bruni Sarkozy is a new UN Global Ambassador in the fight against AIDS.
Three of the best new directors all sitting together. These guys are great. From L to R - Dennis Dortsch, Barry Jenkins and Antonio Campos.
I spared you the photo of Geri Halliwell's wardrobe malfunction. I love how that phrase is now just an accepted part of culture.
Love Graham Norton but he makes a really ugly woman.
Bad timing for a holiday commercial starring Gordon Ramsay and the family.
Jarvis Cocker - Manchester
JK Rowling's new book hits stores on Thursday. Just in time for the holiday season. I'm excited for the book. Kind of cynical about the whole not going to write anymore Harry Potter books but sure as hell going to exploit the name for all it's worth.
This is no dig on Jennifer Love Hewitt. I'm glad she went and served meals on Thanksgiving. It is a great thing. I just wish that celebrities would show themselves at homeless shelters and food banks the other 364 days of the year when there are not cameras around.
It's been too long since we saw James McAvoy and Anne-Marie Duff.
Apparently Keanu Reeves decided that if he slept in his shirt he could get up later.
Kate Walsh out on the beach. Not sure what brought on the stop other than her publicist decided that Kate needed some photos of herself in public. How can you tell they are set up? Look how perfect she looks. Have you ever looked like that on a beach?
Who will win best actor? Michael Sheen is my vote for this year.
The Prince looks more stiff than Al Gore in the 200 election, but I think that might actually be affection from the Princess. Scandal.
I don't know if Rupert Everett has ever been in the photos. Seems hard to believe that he hasn't.
Reader Photo #1
Reader Photo #2-4. They all read it.
I think anytime you have the opportunity to put Richard Simmons in the photos you have to. I have never seen someone who has to be "on" all the time as much as Richard Simmons. He's unusual, but there is no denying he makes lots and lots of people happy.
Didn't realize I had two photos of Britney Spears in here. Sorry. Apparently even when you mime a song it gets great ratings. When Britney was on X-Factor it got the highest numbers it has ever had for basically nothing except the record playing in the back. Why does she even have the microphone?
I'll probably go to hell, but Sienna Miller doesn't look horrible here. Keira Knightley also looks good.
Simple Minds - London
I know this is the first time the one and only Sam Neil has been in the photos.
The Beckhams look thrilled to have been there. I didn't know they sold booze at the circus, but it looks like Victoria may have found some or brought in a flask or something.
The Cruel Sea - Perth
Viggo in Japan.
Will Ferrell and his son.

Okay, gorgeous readers, 'fess up.
ReplyDeletewow starbucks is donating a whole 5cents per red drink to global aids, way to be generous!!! tis the season, you would think they would be a little more generous seeing as they charge 5$ + for a small coffee!!!
ReplyDeleteRichard Simmons is a total sweetheart. I met him when I was working in the cosmetics department of Saks Beverly Hills a couple years ago. I was working on a customer when he noticed me staring him down ... he instantly started mocking my makeup application skills -- pretending like he was drawing lipstick on himself!
ReplyDeleteI excused myself to my customer then ran over to him and gave him a BIG old hug and thanked him for helping me lose my pre-teen chub with Sweating to the Oldies 3 ... he was so gracious and sweet about it.
It's nice to see that Helena Christensen doesn't even touch the Starbucks. Afraid of fat by osmosis? ;)
ReplyDeleteViggo's hand is waving to his adoring masses, as it should be.
Why is someone handing Craisins to Richard Simmons? Is it because he's crais-y?
Enty have you seen Frost/Nixon already? re: Michael Sheen for best actor. I probably won't get a chance to see it til it comes out on DVD.
That Graham Norton photo scares me.
Thanks for the Sam Neill! Please don't let his first time be his last. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm with Mooshki - Sam Neill is a treat!
ReplyDeleteThanks for pointing out that celebs need to spend time feeding the homeless on the other days of the year too.
ReplyDeleteGeez, the Beckam's are just miserable looking all the time. Why would anyone want to be around them?
Hey - Jim Kerr/Simple Minds. Awesome! Saw them in the 80's. My big brother took me when I was a young teen and we had front row tickets at a small club. It was fantastic and a great memory - especially when Jim Kerr held my hand and sang a verse from Don't You Forget About Me. He wore fantastic gold shoes. *sigh* I love the 80's.
ReplyDeleteThe UK was very unimpressed with Britney and her miming. She even had the nerve to diss Simon Cowell on his own show by making the judges wait in the corridor for that photo op. Basically, she came over here and did fuck all, and got a lot of money for it. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
ReplyDeleteMmmmm lovely Viggo!
Cute readers!
ReplyDeleteGraham Norton looks a lot like how I expect Pamela Anderson to look in a few years.
Mario is the only one who looks happy to be there. It pisses me off that the celebrities look so damn pained to be working a faux charity event. (I'm with the reader above--5 whole cents per drink? Please.) This shouldn't be about publicity, it should be about eradicating AIDS from our planet, and the only one who seems to get it is Mario.
ReplyDeleteSam Neill is awesome. I hung out with him one evening during a festival. Totally down to earth...and kinda drunk, too ;-)
ReplyDeleteAh Katy, you're here. A few weeks ago you commented that Seth MacFarlane is an ass. Details please :-)
ReplyDeleteJust finished the three-night LOTR trilogy on TNT over the weekend.
ReplyDeleteMmmmmmmm, Viggo.
And yes, Rupert Everett has been in the photos--just nor random photos...ahem...
Same with Viggo, for that matter. Mmmmmm again.
Request for pics and gossip please :D
ReplyDeleteLeighton Meester
I remember when Ralph Fiennes was hot (sigh.) So sad.
ReplyDeleteENTY-
ReplyDeleteThe only time Slutty Miller looks good is under my tires. But thanks for the photo of Viggo. It is almost a wash.
Maybe Starbucks could've done more, but props to them for doing anything at all. 5 cents a cup probably added up to a huge amount of $ for the cause. I used to be reluctant to give to charity because I couldn't afford their "minimum" requests, but now I just say to hell with it and tell them "all I can give you is $5." If you get enough people making small donations, it will add up to big bucks in the end.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the story about Sam, Ms. It's always nice to find out that celebs we admire are decent folk.
ReplyDeleteHe kind of ruined "The Piano" for me - I just couldn't see him as unlikeable as the character was supposed to be. :)
Re Britney's hand - I'm sick right now. Reading that sentence makes me feel dizzy.
ReplyDeleteThe prince looks like a cardboard cutout. wtf is up with Ruper Everett's nose? Love the reader photos and Anonmom's story about Richard Simmons.
Graham Norton and Keira Knightley's dress - did I say I was sick right now?
Why do the Beckhams hang with the Cruises? They must be so sick and tired of hearing about Xenu. I find this pic an improvement for Suri - she's actually wearing shoes and a coat!
Speaking of which - kudos to Will Ferrell for dressing for the weather, rather than fashion.
Who are those three sassy readers!
ReplyDeleteSo hot!
