With the annual Venice Film Festival in full swing, the cast of “Contagion” hit the red carpet for their film's premiere at Palazzo de Cinema on Saturday night (September 3).
Joining in on the celebration were lovely actress Gwyneth Paltrow, as well as newly-bald actor Matt Damon (who was joined by wife Luciana Barroso), as well as fellow co-star Laurence Fishburne.
For the sci-fi thriller, Damon teamed back up with director Steven Soderbergh - who also directed him in the “Ocean's Eleven” movies starting back in 2001.
“Steven sent me the script with a note that said, ‘Read this and then go wash your hands,’” said Damon, with a laugh. “After seeing this movie in a theater filled with strangers, I’m sure that thought will definitely cross peoples’ minds.”
As for "Contagion," the picture - which hits theaters on September 9th - also stars Jude Law and Kate Winslet while being an "action-thriller centered on the threat posed by a deadly disease and an international team of doctors contracted by the CDC to deal with the outbreak."
Taking her gorgeousness to Sin City, Nicole Scherzinger took to the Paris Las Vegas hotel for a Labor Day kickoff soiree on Friday night (September 2).
The "Don't Hold Your Breath" singer joined alongside musician Nelly at the Chateau Nightclub & Gardens venue after first hitting up the resort's Sugar Factory for a lollipop treat and photo session.
Tweeting about the festivities, Miss Scherzinger excitedly wrote, "Who’s coming out 2 party w/me #Vegas @Chataulv? Gna start #LDW right this Friday night!’"
The 33-year-old later added, "And I haven’t forgotten abt my UK fans! I’ll be back in London 2 perform at the opening of Westfield Stratford City on Sept 13!" The appearance comes as Nicole has been surrounded by engagement rumors with her race car driver beau Lewis Hamilton - though Lewis took to press to shoot down the claims.
Talking with Jonathan Ross on his new ITV show, Hamilton responded when asked of wedding plans, "I don't know about that. No, no, we are quite happy where we are.”
Looking slim n' sexy just weeks after welcoming her second child into the world, Jessica Alba closed out the week with a shopping spree in Beverly Hills, CA on Friday (September 2).
Dressed in all-black, the "Sin City" actress was accompanied by her mom as the two lovely ladies took to the local Anthropologie boutique to load up on a few bagfuls of purchases.
And while she might have shot to fame with the help of her childhood work, Miss Alba says her own kids won't be in front of a camera until they're well out of their teen years.
During an interview with FOX News, the "Spy Kids: 4D" star says - although she found her own big Hollywood break at age 13 - she has different hopes for her little ones - and they don't involve Tinseltown.
"I was a child actor and it worked for me, given the circumstances I was in, but I'm lucky enough to give my daughter and my second baby a completely different life and an education that I never had the opportunity to have," Jessica explained.
The 30-year-old furthered her reasoning, as she told, "When they're done with college, if they want to get into the arts, that's fine. I think you will be a better artist the more life experience you have, but I wouldn't encourage them to work in this type of environment as children."
With the stars gathering together for a swanky night in Italy, the 2011 GUCCI Awards For Women took place in Venice on Friday night (September 2).
Held at the Hotel Cipriani's cinema, big names such as Gucci-clad ladies Madonna and Abbie Cornish were among those partaking in the annual Venice Film Festival tribute.
Also in attendance were Salma Hayek and Francois Henri-Pinault, as well as actress Evan Rachel Wood and actor James Franco.
During the festivities, a few awards were passed out to deserving candidates, with Madonna taking the podium at one point to bestow the trophy for Outstanding Artistic Achievement to the lovely Jessica Chastain.
Helping usher in another year of the annual cinematic event, Kate Bosworth was among those at the opening ceremony of the 37th Deauville American Film Festival in Deauville, France on Friday (September 2).
The "Superman Returns" actress looked stunning in a black Valentino frock as she joined new beau Michael Polish on the Deauville red carpet while in attendance to promote her film "Another Happy Day".
The outing comes as Miss Bosworth recently opened up to BlackBook about her high school days - telling that she mostly kept to herself.
The 28-year-old dished, "I was a real loner in high school, even though people assume I was the head cheerleader. My head was always in books. I felt uncomfortable in cliques. I wasn’t a social butterfly at all.”
A mainstay atop the movie world over the past month, "The Help" once again snatched up the top spot at the box office during Labor Day weekend of September 2-5, 2011.

While there's no doubt she has her pick of suitors, one gentleman has made a big step towards courting Demi.
While speaking with RumorFix.com, rapper Romeo Miller offered Miss Lovato an extravagant celebration in return for her hand in marriage, as he pleaded, "Demi Lovato, if you see this, this is me proposing to you right now... I don't got the ring (sic), but that's nothing..."
Miller continued, "Demi if you ready (sic), we'll have the craziest wedding, that's all I've got to say. A $50 million wedding."

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

Stepping out for a week-ending sisterly retail romp, Lindsay Lohan was joined by little sister Ali on a shopping spree in Venice, California on Friday afternoon (September 2).
Dressed in an orange cardigan, loose black top and cutoff jean shorts, the braless "Mean Girls" starlet and her younger sis stopped at Mona Moore store before LiLo lit up a cigarette.
Earlier in the day, while visiting Beverly Hills posh Byron and Tracy hair salon, Lindsay found herself caught up in another run-in with the law.
After leaving her Cadillac Escalade in front of a fire hydrant, a nearby police officer quickly swooped in, leaving Miss Lohan with a traffic ticket for illegally parking her vehicle.
