Naomi Campbell and Claudia Schiffer: Obsessed By You
Naomi Campbell and Claudia Schiffer: Obsessed By You
Celebrities and photographers go hand-in-hand. So when Mario Testino opened his latest exhibition of work in London at the Phillips de Pury gallery yesterday, stars like Naomi Campbell and Claudia Schiffer were among the first in line.
Miss Campbell looked stunning in a stringy white dress teamed with a fabulous pair of leather heels as she mingled with the party guests, posing for a few pics.
Meanwhile, Claudia went for more of an institutional look with a shimmery white belted dress complete with black leggings and matching black shoes.
Testino’s display consisted of 32 photographs he’s taken over the course of his career, and prints were available starting at £15,000 ($29,000 US). One such piece, a shot of Elton John with Elizabeth Hurley on his piano, seemed to hypnotize John’s partner, David Furnish.
David Beckham’s Trip Down Under
David Beckham’s Trip Down Under
Australia just got a little sexier! English stud-turned-American soccer hero David Beckham made his way to Sydney, Australia this weekend for an exhibition match/joint press conference with his team, the LA Galaxy, and Sydney FC.
And rather than living it up in the lap of luxury, he elected to stay with his teammates in their “regular” hotel. He told press, “I’m no different from any of the other players. I am one of the boys. I am one of the team.”
Becks told press that his move to Los Angeles, California has been a positive transition for his family. “But (being in LA) means we’re putting the kids in a situation now, where at the moment, they’re really happy, they’re loving the lifestyle over there and the school they’re in—and Victoria’s happy. It’s just been so frustrating on the football side because I’ve been injured so much and not able to play. But apart from that it’s genuinely been great.”
David reported that while his new life in America isn’t exactly “normal,” he’s able to find others to relate to him. “I wouldn’t say it’s a normal life but it’s a bit easier as there are so many famous people around in LA, doing things every day. So it does give a certain amount of extra privacy. I do go out and buy a pint of milk. It’s just never without being followed.”

Being the girlfriend of the heir to the English Throne comes with a bit of pressure. But Kate Middleton is taking it all in stride.
Last night, she was busying herself with an exhibition of celebrity photographs called Time To Reflect. The London showcase was set up to raise money for children’s charity UNICEF.
Middleton hosted the gig, which included a book launch and exhibition of work by Alistair Morrison. Morrison is a notable British photographer whose new book will be sold, with a portion of the profits going to the charity.
And it turned out to be a family affair at The Shop at Bluebird Complex, with Kate’s mother and father showing up just before Prince William himself arrived.
David Beckham Visits Shanghai Hospital
David Beckham Visits Shanghai Hospital
Doing his good deed for the day, David Beckham paid a visit to leukemia patients at Xinhua Hospital on Tuesday (March 4).
Causing a stir upon arrival, “hundreds of fans, staff, the media and curious bystanders converged upon the hospital, prompting police to close off access to a wing of Xinhua Hospital, with no-one was allowed to enter or leave the wing for several hours.”
All-in-all, the trip was a success, despite the fact that “one woman screamed hysterically as angry police refused to allow her inside, as organizers were soon forced to cancel a donation ceremony scheduled to take place outside the hospital.”
Beckham is in Shanghai with his US club, the LA Galaxy, for an exhibition match against a Shanghai-Hong Kong team on Wednesday.
