Taking his latest project to the annual film extravaganza, Al Pacino was front and center at a photocall for “Wilde Salome” earlier today (September 4).
The legendary actor was joined by actress Jessica Chastain as the pair took to the Palazzo del Cinema ahead of the movie's premiere scheduled to take place later in the evening.
With fellow co-star Kevin Anderson also on-hand, the film also includes Estelle Parsons and Roxanne Hart while having been written and directed by Pacino.
As for the plotline, "Wilde Salome" takes viewers on a journey as Al "unravels and re-interprets Oscar Wilde's once banned and most controversial work Salome, a scintillating tale of lust, greed and one woman's scorn."
Freshly returned from a concert in Nebraska, LeAnn Rimes happily joined alongside her two main men for an outing in Malibu, CA on Saturday (September 3).
The "I Need You" singer donned a lacy violet minidress as she picked up a pizza with husband Eddie Cibrian and his son Jake during the course of the afternoon excursion.
At one point, Jake ended up dropping a pair of toy handcuffs he was playing with while LeAnn gave full view of her thin frame as she bent over to help him pick them up.
Worn out from the busy west coast doings by day's end, Miss RImes tweeted to her many followers later the same night, "So ready for bed after 10 hrs of flying & a fun afternoon at our friend's house at the beach. Happy Saturday night!"
Turning into a family routine, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie took their brood out for a cinema weekend excursion in London on Sunday (September 4).
The "Mr and Mrs Smith" co-star couple had the entire clan alongside for the theater visit, as Pax, Shiloh, Vivienne, Knox, Maddox and Zahara shuffled out to the family ride after catching a showing of "The Smurfs".
The family movie outing comes after Us magazine reports that Angelina treated her little ones to a garden party at their rented abode in Richmond the previous day.
An inside dished of the festivities, "All of the kids were in the garden to play and she surprised them with a local group of children's entertainers."
Explaining further, the Us source told, "Think juggling, game organising, races, that type of thing. The kids laughed and screamed all day. They were exhausted by the time the troupe left!"
Taking his directorial effort to the annual Italian event, James Franco was front and center at a photocall for “Sal” earlier today (September 4).
The "128 Hours" actor was joined by actor Val Lauren as the pair took to the Palazzo del Cinema to pose for photographers covering the Venice Film Festival function.
While the photocall sessions typically precede the film's red carpet premieres, James did things out of order - as he debuted his movie the previous night.
As for "Sal," the picture "details Sal Mineo's rise to fame in such films as 1955's 'Rebel' and 1960's 'Exodus,' his conflicted sexuality and friendships with Dean and Natalie Wood, as well as his 1976 death in West Hollywood after being stabbed by a pizza deliveryman."
Ringing in another year in his rollercoaster life, Charlie Sheen made his way to Buca di Beppo Italian restaurant in Encino, CA for a 46th birthday dinner on Saturday night (September 3).
The former "Two and a Half Men" star was alongside his ex-wife Brooke Mueller, as well as their twin boys Bob and Max, to celebrate his special day with friends and loved ones.
Following the evening meal, a smiling Sheen exited the eatery with son Bob in his arms - with his little one proudly holding a big red balloon with 'Happy Birthday' written on it.
Sounding as if fellow ex Denise Richards was also on-hand, Sheen tweeted after the birthday dinner, "Love you and the girls..!!! Thanks for a great birthday dinner!! Great night! xo c"
The message was in response to an earlier tweet by Miss Richards, as she wrote, "Happy Birthday @charliesheen !!!!!!!!!!!"
Taking advantage of a work-free holiday weekend, Ashley Greene stepped out for a leisurely lunch in Los Angeles, CA on Saturday (September 3).
The Alice Cullen actress dressed casually in a white top and denim short-shorts as she joined a gal pal for a bite to eat at an outdoor patio table at La Piazza.
Meanwhile, as Miss Greene readies for her upcoming "Breaking Dawn" promotional duties later this year, her stylist Cristina Ehrlich recently spoke with press about what the actress will be wearing on the red carpet.
Of the plans, Ehrlich told, “Somebody like Ashley doesn’t need a lot. I’m very grateful that with her, we can put her in silhouettes that are very simple and she’s smart enough to know that they’re not boring — they’re simple and chic. You see a lot of young girls on the red carpet taking these big risks with colors and frills or cutouts and beading and I think they dress that way because they think more is more. I’m really flattered when the girls can trust that at the end of the day less is more. You don’t need to overdo it with the jewelry and makeup, you don’t want the dress to overtake the girl, especially someone as beautiful as Ashley. You should be able to see the beauty of Ashley and the dress is an accent.”
She added, “Girls like Ashley are veterans of the red carpet, with all of the events and premieres they go to she’s growing up quick. I like when she feels excited about what she’s wearing, even if she’s trying something that may be new, it’s a win-win. It has been really fun with her because in the time I’ve been working for her I’ve introduced her to new designers and she trusts me, and at the same time I hear what shes feeling” she said.
Cristina finished by saying, "Ashley’s a really young girl with a beautiful body and she’s got a great sense of style. I’m trying to find her silhouettes that stay, very classic, very feminine, and very fashion forward that are also very timeless. When talking about Ashley I could use Anne Hathaway as an example — she’s young, always looks beautiful, and knows how to take risks wearing different things and trying different designers but at the same time there’s something fluid about her looks.”
She's been anxiously awaiting the overseas adventure, and Hilary Duff is finally situated in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil after flying out of Los Angeles on Friday.
The expecting actress was spotted in the South American locale on Saturday afternoon (September 3) while clad in an all-black ensemble for her midday shopping session.
Despite having traveled to another continent, Miss Duff was unable to escape the always-present paparazzi, as she tweeted, "Alright! I'm in brazil, I love this place but the paps are kinda buggin"
During the course of her retail excursion, Hil kindly took time to pose with local fans who approached her throughout her first day's doings in the country's second largest city.
Showing why she was runner-up on Maxim's Hot 100 List, a bikini clad Olivia Munn flaunted her fine figure in San Juan, Puerto Rico on Saturday (September 3).
The 31-year-old actress donned a two-piece swimsuit as she took to Palomino Beach at the El Conquistador Resort while in the locale for the Hollywood Domino 2nd Annual Celebrity Tournament.
Miss Munn's trip to Puerto Rico comes on the heels of reports telling that she's joined the cast of “Magic Mike.”
As previously reported by GossipCenter, the model-turned-actress is negotiating to play the role of Amber, who happens to be the love interest to Magic Mike, played by the hunky Channing Tatum.
The film is based on Channing’s real-life experiences as a stripper at the age of 19 in Tampa, FL, with other big names gracing the movie’s cast include Alex Pettyfer, Matthew McConaughey, Matt Bomer, Riley Keough, Cody Horm and Gabriel Iglesias.
She certainly knows how to make an entrance, and Beyonce Knowles had all eyes on her at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards tonight (August 28).

Having made their love for one another official on Saturday (August 27), Sofia Coppola and Thomas Mars' wedding day pictures offer a glimpse of the newlyweds partaking in their cherishing moment.
The couple tied the knot at the historic Palazzo Margherita in Bernalda, Italy, with the "Lost In Translation" director looking stunning in a lavender Azzedine Alaia gown while being walked down the aisle by her famous father, Francis Ford Coppola.
As for the ceremony, it was officiated by Bernalda's mayor, Leonardo Chiruzzi, who told press after the festivities, "Everything went well. It was simple, calm, in the garden."
Just one day prior to exchanging vows, Sofia and Thomas were all about relaxation - as they spent the afternoon lounging on the sandy Italian beaches with their darling daughters, Romy, 4½, and Cosima, 15 months.
Making the most of her time in Italy, Bar Refaeli was spotted sunning herself in a stunning blue bikini yesterday afternoon (August 28).
The Israeli supermodel pranced around the Kauris III luxury yacht off the coast of Portofino while eager paparazzi snapped up pictures.
Bar bathed in the sea and played volleyball along with some friends who had come along for the ride (and the view!).
During her Mediterranean tour, Ms. Refaeli has been keeping her Twitter followers up-to-date on her festivities, including “belly dancing in Greece or at least trying to.”
She's one of the many east coasters dealing with the effects of Hurricane Irene, and Bethenny Frankel seemingly let the major storm system get the best of her.
Unable to sleep through the nasty conditions, the Skinnygirl mogul began her Twitter tear at 3AM by writing, "I can't sleep. So nervous. The wind is so loud outside.what's the update?tv will wake everyone."
An hour later, Miss Frankel disregarded her sleeping husband and baby, as she continued, "I can't believe how scary this is.now watching the news with my jaw dropped.more&more evacuations&more state of emergencies. Brace yourselves NEW YORK.Irene is on her way now."
The "Bethenny Ever After" star's anxiety reached its peak at around 7:30AM, as she tweeted, "We just lost electricity.this b**ch is coming.jason is oblivious.3 naps yesterday,slept all night,no prep.hurricane bethenny also here."
In the following hours, Bethenny posted a series of photos including one of herself looking quite unkempt along with numerous shots from her home and neighborhood, with her latest message reading, "I wanted to wash&dry my hair yesterday &jason thought I was nuts.now the new hairstyle is hurricane bethenny.jen aniston is so jealous."
Along with Frankel, numerous fellow celebs were active on Twitter while sending well-wishes and personal experiences via Twitter. A few of the many postings are as follows:
Ivanka Trump Majors wind and big waves in Watch Hill, Rhode Island. How are you faring through #Irene? Be safe! #hurricane
Nick Jonas So much hype about #Irene will be interesting to see this all plays out. Everyone stay safe.
Kourtney Kardashian More powerful prayers for the east coast. Don't forget how powerful prayer can be!
Adam Lambert East coasters: stay safe and smart while this storm rolls in. :) in my thoughts.
Kicking off the holiday weekend with a night on the town, Lauren Conrad hit up west coast hotspot Troubadour in West Hollywood on Friday night (September 2).
Clad in a sheer shirt and a tiny pair of hotpants, the former "Hills" hottie watched her step while hand-in-hand with a gal pal who led the way out of the nightclub following a night of drinks and conversation.
Having just previewed her pre-Spring 2012 clothing collection for Paper Crown, LC recently spoke with press about what she's been up to as of late.
Miss Conrad dished, “I’m still writing, and designing. Honestly I’m pretty content right now. I have a series that I have to write, hopefully each fashion line will progress and grow, so I have more to come. At this moment I’m really happy with everything that’s on my plate. I’m able to have a personal life and work and balance it all.”
