Vanity Fair/Gucci Party Brings Out the Stars


Making for quite the star-studded affair, the celebs were out in full force for the Vanity Fair/Gucci Party at Cannes Film Festival on Saturday night (May 15).

Held at the Hotel Du Cap Eden Roc, the evening's agenda was focused on one of Hollywood's most acclaimed directors - as Martin Scorsese was the night's honoree.
Turning up for the fancy fete were Tinseltown beauties such as Jennifer Lopez (who was joined by Marc Anthony), along with Kate Beckinsale, Salma Hayek, Naomi Watts and Diane Lane.

Also on the guest list was the lovely Camilla Belle, who sparkled in silver as she mingled with the likes of Naomi Campbell, Karolina Kurkova, Benicio de Toro and Frida Giannini.

Miranda Kerr: i-D Topless Treasure


Showing off her sexy self, Miranda Kerr graces the cover of the Summer 2010 issue of i-D magazine.

Going topless for the steamy spread, the Victoria's Secret beauty playfully posed while photographer Willy Vanderperre snapped up shots.
Aside from her modeling gigs, Miss Kerr is in the midst of penning a self-esteem book for teenage girls due out later this year.

The offering is titled "Treasure Yourself," with Miranda telling Elle magazine of the work, "It's about encouraging young women to embrace their individuality....You may think it's easy for me to say, but we all have insecurities. It's important, as women, to get past all of that and let our talents shine."

David and Victoria Beckham: Jonas Brothers Family Fun


Stepping out for a family affair, David and Victoria Beckham were spotted out with their three sons in Los Angeles, California on Saturday afternoon (May 15).

The soccer stud and his former Spice Girls wifey led Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz as they ventured off to watch a free Jonas Brothers concert.
Meanwhile, recent reports from the Daily Mirror tell that the Beckhams have become quite the art aficionados - as they're said to have amassed a $45 million gallery.

“Victoria is a mover and shaker in more upmarket circles nowadays and likes being a ‘collector’,” an insider tells. “She is even in talks with a museum to showcase some of their pieces – all of which are love tokens, presents David or Victoria gave to each other for birthdays, Christmas and special anniversaries."

The source continues, “One of the works is a Hirst bull’s heart enshrined in silver with scalpels exploding from it. Another, given from David to Victoria for Christmas, is an Emin-designed strip of neon lights spelled out to read ‘Forever yours’. David in particular is a huge patron of provocative British art. As well as purchasing works by the biggest and most famous names in the art world, he is also a keen champion of lesser known, up and coming painters. The Beckhams’ collection — much of it purchased from The White Cube gallery in London — is enough to make any self-respecting art fan green with envy.”
