The singer whose midsection does not fib, Shakira, and her hunky boyfriend Antonio del la Rua celebrated the holidays with a romantic Italian getaway. The pair did the "tourist thing" and hired a guide to take in all of the sights of the ancient city of Rome, including the Pantheon and the Forum ruins. Shakira took oodles of photos and took time out to admire the finely sculpted tush of one Italian sculpture. She's quite an authority on that topic - her tush is well-sculpted too!

Forget Britney and Lindsay - the original bad girl is back! Courtney Love and her entourage arrived at LAX on Saturday night after a visit to NYC which was notable for the theft - and subsequent return - of 2 pairs of Courtney's earrings worth around $100K. The singer, looking a little worse for wear, hid behind over-sized shades and tried to obscure her face from photographers as she made her way through the terminal. Is it just me, or does Courtney look like an older version of Mary Kate Olson nowadays? Take heed, MK - this could be you in about 20 years!

Vince Vaughn and some friends dined at the Farmers Market at LA's Grove shopping center on Saturday and the swinging actor couldn't resist having a little dessert, which he thoroughly enjoyed, although he kind of has that "I can't believe I ate the whole thing look" on his face here. Eat up, Vince, it's time for New Year's resolutions; maybe "trim down" should be on your list. Just a suggestion.

Angelina kicked off December at the Hatton-Mayweather fight in Las Vegas – rooting for the loser, Hatton. Ms. Jolie herself was a big winner in year-end accolades, including Entertainment Weekly's '#33 Smartest Person in Hollywood,' Empire's 'Sexiest Movie Star,' US's 'Couple of the Year' and Reuters' 'Best Celebrity Humanitarian.'  Her role in 'A Mighty Heart' earned Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild nominations. But the best rewards are found at home: Angelina's Christmas was a family holiday with Brad and the kids in New Orleans.

Can Angelina top her 2007 superstar pace? A potential Oscar nod, a projected new addition to the brood, a fresh slate of movie releases, and a war-torn Third World that needs a glamorous and articulate spokesmodel all forecast 2008 as another Jolie year for the ages.

A still very pregnant Toni Collette and her hubby Dave Galafassi take their two pups along for a day at the beach in Toni's native Australia. The pair look relaxed as they strolled along the shore. Dave ran with the pooches while Toni gazed introspectively at the waves. The 35-year-old actress' first child is due any day now, I wonder if she's got a "sixth sense" to let her know when the blessed event will occur!

Sienna Miller celebrated birthday number 26 Friday night with a little help from some famous friends. Kate Moss, Keira Knightley and Sienna's main squeeze, Rhys Ifans were among the guests at the intimate get-together at a North London pub. Sienna sure looks like she got dressed in the dark - she should know that you can't mix animal prints like that! Her friends should have given her a gift certificate to a clothing store instead of booze!
