LifeStyles Make-Out Booth

Oh, Young Hollywood. You feud, you weep and sometimes you just scrunch yourselves into a photo booth with your closest frenemies.

Because you know when it's picture time, all is forgiven.

Check out Tinseltown teases Lindsay Lohan (with an unidentified friend), Lauren Conrad, Audrina Patridge and Justin Bobby as they all mugged for the camera at the Lifestyles Makeout Booth.

And the best part? The booth, which is located at DKNY Malibu Beach House, if you're so inclined, dispenses a strip of condoms along with your snaps.

You know, in case something develops later.

Even David Beckham is impressed by how massive he looks in those Emporio Armani ads.

On his blog, he writes about going to the big unveiling in San Francisco: "To be honest I was amazed by the huge billboard poster outside Macy’s department store, but even more amazed by the amount of people who turned up to see it! I’m always surprised by the amount of attention certain things create."

True. Hard to believe anyone would take a brief moment to note a giant in underpants looming over the city, right?

Electronic Arts

Here's something else for the couple to hang in their den next to Eva Longoria Parker's In Style, Glamour and Self covers.

After five stints as the face of pixilated basketball in France, the actress' two-time NBA All-Star hubby Tony Parker has been chosen to grace the cover of the global edition of Electronic Arts' NBA Live 09.

Meaning, Parker's 26-year-old mug and San Antonio Spurs uniform will be frontin' in North America for the first time, starting Oct. 7, and then everywhere else where video games are sold Oct. 14.

"I have a long history with EA Sports," the Belgian-born, French-bred Parker said. "I've been on the cover in France for five years straight, and I've been playing NBA Live for as long as I've played basketball. It's a real honor for me as a European player to now be represented on the worldwide cover."

Lord knows what’s up with Jessica Simpson and her Dallas Cowboys QB cutie Tony Romo. We thought she'd been jilted by the jinx, then they were reunited, after which they had a falling-out before having a falling-in at sister Ashlee’s wedding. Maybe that was all just for show?

Well, this oscillating-romance weirdness attained a new level of wackiness during a recent Nashville photo session:

Warner Bros. Entertainment/America's Milk Processors

Batman's secret is out.

He drinks milk. The regular kind, even. We totally would have pegged him to traffic in the murky, darkened depths of chocolate milk.

So, if you've ever found yourself wondering how a guy with no superpowers can hold his own against the evildoers in Gotham city, a shot of moo juice is all it takes, apparently.

The badass bodysuit and lethal array of batgear might help, too.

Xiomara Coronado Beauty Center

No, we don't want to scare you. Yes, we want you to come back. But we also couldn't help sending you off into the holiday weekend with a little creep-out.

An Ecuadorean skin care center has unleashed an ad campaign featuring high-profile beauties Angelina Jolie and Paris Hilton in a state of digitally enhanced utter distress, aka what even the most porcelain-skinned hotties might look like if they neglect their complexions and fail to visit the Xiomara Coronado Beauty Center for treatment.

We'd say don't let this happen to you, but we have a feeling neither Paris nor Angie realized it was happening to them, either. Unless big bucks prompted them to become the poster girls for theoretically heinous sun damage and ungraceful aging.

Check out Xiomara's version of the heiress after the jump:

If anyone can top the wonders to be found within One Thousand and One Nights in only a fraction of the time, surely it's Prince.

The Purple One will be allowing a rare glimpse into the inner sanctum via 21 Nights, a "photographic essay" offering a look at the "life, lyrics and mystique of one of the most notable and prolific performers of our time," according to publisher Atria Books.

In addition to 124 never-before-seen photos chronicling Prince's 21 consecutive sold-out shows at London's O2 Arena last year, the package will also include Indigo Nights, a compilation album culled from the intimate, small-venue gigs the artist played after-hours.

“We are tremendously honored and excited by this opportunity to present this lyrical and visually rich book from Prince that captures the spirit and voluptuous sound of his brilliant [London run],” publisher Judith Curr said in a statement. “21 Nights is an innovative multimedia book project created by a musical visionary and uncompromising artist, an invitation to experience a side Prince has not revealed until now.”

The memoir will be ready to rock your coffee table this fall.

The escort caught in the crossfire when the then governor of New York was nailed for blowing huge wads of cash on high-priced call girls has sued Francis for at least $10 million. (View the lawsuit.)

Her lawyers call his attempt to peddle years-old footage of her from Girls Gone Wild's archive an attempt to "exploit Ms. Dupré’s image and likeness for their own financial gain at the emotional and physical expense of Ms. Dupré."

To which Francis responded with his usual gentlemanly composure: "Eliot Spitzer got to have sex with Ashley for two thousand and she wants 10 million from Girls Gone Wild," he told E! News. "And all we got to do is see her naked. How is that fair?"

Another day, another candid-camera controversy for Miley Cyrus.

The Hannah Montana star has issued a statement about her provocative picture in the new Vanity Fair. Snapped by renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz, the 15-year-old Disney sensation appears to be topless, covered only in a blanket.

"I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be 'artistic' and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed," she says. "I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my fans who I care so deeply about.'"

The Disney Channel is also standing up for its beloved starlet, telling E! News "a situation was created to deliberately manipulate a 15-year-old in order to sell magazines."

In its own statement, Vanity Fair defends the shoot.
