Sean Connery Shakes Up Louis Vuitton

It seems famed photog Annie Leibovitz can lure just about any celeb with her lens.

The original James Bond once said he'll never appear in another film but he stepped in front of the camera for the latest installation of the Louis Vuitton "Core Values" ad campaign. The 78-year-old icon posed on a dock in the Bahamas sporting casual duds and a Bermuda hat, and lounging beside a waterproof L.V. Keepall bag. The photo was shot near Connery's Bahamas residence. Not bad.

He looks pretty damned good, too. And apparently, the image was the result of a test shoot so Connery hadn't even hit the hair and makeup chair.

The "Core Values" campaign has featured other legendary figures like Keith Richards, Catherine Deneuve, and Francis Ford Coppola. The new ad is set to hit publications later this month.

Nicole Richie Gushes About Baby Harlow

Nicole Richie, who appears on the cover of this week's People magazine with daughter Harlow, couldn't help but gush about her 9-month-old.

"Harlow's a delicate soul," Richie said. "She studies people. She's very coy. People say that she and I make the same expressions. But everyone says she looks like Joel."

"I'm cool with it," said Madden, calling Nicole the best mom he's ever seen. "As long as she doesn't look like me in a wig when she's 16."

The couple, fresh off the road with a Good Charlotte tour, have just moved into a new home in L.A. and are in the throes of planning an October 19 walk to help end family homelessness.

Travis Barker Speaks About Plane Crash

In an interview with Us Weekly, Travis Barker (shown above just hours before the accident) opened up about surviving the Sept. 19 plane crash that killed four, including one of his good friends. Following his release from a Georgia hospital last week, Barker is being treated at a Los Angeles burn center.

"I hate planes," Barker told Us Weekly. "My biggest fear ever is to be involved in a plane crash, so when that happened…well, I’m just thankful to be alive! I’m just grateful to be here at all."

"I am doing the best I can possibly be," he said. "I’m so anxious to get out of here. I’ve just been in surgery after surgery. I have third-degree burns basically from my feet up to my waist and both hands. One of my hands has second-degree burns and one has third-degree burns."

"I’m trying to have a quick recovery and play the drums again and be able to hold my kids again."

Also In Town...

Ryan Seacrest and Randy Jackson joined their friend Ne-Yo at the Hennessy artistry MIAMI concert to watch him perform Saturday night.

A little gossip from the evening -

Seacrest and Jackson only posed for pics inside, but refused to stand in front of the Hennessy artist backdrop outside. Jackson kept his loyalty saying, "Only Coca-Cola dog!"

Ne-Yo (who performed) along with Fat Joe, settled a long-standing beef with their security guards standing close by. No worries though, they hugged at the end.

At the end of Fat Joe's performance he turned to politics saying, "Straight Obama if you're voting for Obama make some noise! John McCain is so old, he can’t do this!" Following his remarks - a performance of "Lean Back."

Kim Turns Tears Into Cheers

Although recently eliminated from Dancing with the Stars, Kim Kardashian looked as happy as ever as she and boyfriend Reggie Bush stayed close at the Hennessy artistry MIAMI concert Saturday night. In town to watch Bush and his Saints play, the two arrived in a white Range Rover and drank Hennessy mojitos throughout the night, although Bush chose to drink only one because of his game the following day. Smart choice.

Angelina Back In Spotlight At Changeling Premiere

To follow up on Erin's post below, Angie did indeed turn up for the Changeling premiere looking disgustingly gorgeous and with some fresh ink, to boot. Never mind that she just had two kids. Unfairness at its finest.
