Celebrity Week in Photos


And finally, some bad news for "Friends" fans. Lisa Kudrow told Us magazine this week that a reunion probably won't ever happen. Not only are the actors busy, but the show's creators "don't think it's a good idea," she explained.


Kate Moss, on the other hand, won't be winning any Woman of the Year awards by endorsing slogans like "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels." The model, who became famous for her waiflike figure, came under fire this week when she cited it as her personal motto in an interview.


Thanks to the hundreds of millions plundered by the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise, you won't find Johnny Depp on any list of overpaid stars. But this week you will find him topping People's Sexiest Man Alive list for a second time. The actor also earned the honor in 2003.

 
In other box-office news, Forbes released a list of Hollywood's most overpaid actors, based on their salaries and how much their movies earn. Tom Cruise made the list, along with Jim Carrey, Drew Barrymore, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Samuel L. Jackson, but nobody ranked higher than "Land of the Lost" star Will Ferrell.


One group of celebs having no issues paying taxes is the cast of "Twilight." The second film in the series, "New Moon," opened on Friday to a record-smashing $26 million haul at midnight screenings in the wee hours of its release.


Maybe Aaron Carter should consider taking on some side projects (aside from crying on "Dancing With the Stars"). The pop star owes more than $1 million in back taxes, it was reported this week.


Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag also have a new book, and they spent the week pushing "How to Be Famous" on a media tour. Things got a little ugly, though, when the couple's "Today" show appearance was canceled and Spencer took it out on Al Roker via a series of angry, insulting tweets.


Lauren Conrad has a new product headed for stores too. The reality TV star is following up her best-selling novel, "L.A. Candy," with a fashion guide due next year, she announced Thursday. "I think fashion should be fun and reflective of who you are," Conrad said in a press statement. "I know this guide will offer simple, practical tips to help anyone look fabulous."


In other celebrity merchandising news, Taylor Swift just signed a deal with American Greetings to produce greeting cards, gift wrap, stationery, and other related products. Now she'll have the perfect thank-you cards to send to CMA voters!


Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie unveiled their own limited-edition line of jewelry this week. The snake-inspired collection will be sold through high-end jeweler Asprey, which has stores in London, New York, Beverly Hills, Tokyo, and Dubai.
