Legendary Scottish actor Sir Sean Connery is the new face of Louis Vuitton!

The original James Bond was photographed for his Vuitton campaign by Annie Leibovitz. Yup, it's the same Annie who took those much yapped about Miley Cyrus pics for Vanity Fair!

The snap above was shot in the Bahamas, near one of Connery's homes.

Isn't it stunning?

He's 78-years old, y'all.

Hope we look like that in our 70's!

The Dalai Lama is resting up after a successful routine surgery to remove gallstones.

The spiritual leader has had the gallstones for over a decade, but it was during a recent checkup in New Dehli that doctors decided it would be best to finally have them removed.

The surgery will not affect the Dalai Lama's plans to travel at the end of the month, educating people on the tenets of Buddhism and the Tibetan struggle.

The Dalai Lama is 73-years-old and his age is beginning to wear on him, causing followers to wonder what the inevitable death of the Dalai Lama will mean.

In August, the Nobel Prize-winning Buddhist elder was admitted to a hospital in Mumbai for abdominal pains. He was released in good condition, but advised to cancel a trip to Europe on account of exhaustion.

While the exile community grows increasingly divided on pacifist versus active action against China, the Dalai Lama remains deeply revered. The spiritual and political leader's age and ailments makes followers anxious, wondering what will happen to the people's sense of hope and faith in Tibet's situation should they lose the Dalai Lama.

Wishing you a long, healthy life, champ!

Beariffic!

Bruce Willis was snapped outside the celeb infested Barney's New York store in Beverly Hills on Wednesday rocking some lumberjack scruff.

He was accompanied by his daughter Tallulah and 30-year old lingerie model girlfriend.

Doesn't his ladyfriend look like a young Demi Moore?

What do you think of Bruce's whiskers?

Your white face hair totally brings your old age to the forefront, Bruce!

Back in August the Dalai Lama was admitted to an Indian hospital after suffering some abdominal pains.

And, now, the spiritual lama is back in the hospital.

The Dalai Lama has been hospitalized today, again due to abdominal pain, and could undergo surgery as early as tomorrow, Friday.

A senior doctor at New Delhi's Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, who refused to be identified, confirmed the Dalai Lama has been admitted to the hospital.

The doctor said, "He was admitted when he complained of abdominal pain and now chances are that the Dalai Lama will be operated upon, most probably tomorrow."

However, his spokesman insists that the Dalai Lama is just undergoing "routine tests."

The hospital chief Nalini Kaul declined to comment on the spiritual leader's health or any treatment he would be receiving.

But, it looks like the 73 year-old will stay in the hospital until at least Saturday before returning home.

His spokesman said, "There is nothing to worry about as His Holiness is undergoing routine tests for which he had to be hospitalised."

We hope he wouldn't lie to us about the Dalai Lama's condition.

Get well soon, champ!

Besides Will Smith and Katie Holmes does anyone in Hollywood really like Tom Cruise?

Screen legend Lauren Bacall reveals in a new interview with Elle magazine that she's definitely not a fan of the former leading man.

Elle chatted with Miz Bacall about the work she did with Nicole Kidman (for a big Elle story focusing on Tom's ex) in the 2003 movie Dogville.

The movie was filmed just after Nic split with Tom, and Bacall says the redhead was extremely unhappy. Reveals Lauren, "Tom had taken off for Penelope Cruz or some goddamn thing — one of his more ridiculous moves.”

She then went on to say, “Tom Cruise is a maniac. I can’t understand the way he conducts his life.”

Love how she just let loose!

She and Brigitte Bardot should have a party and invite Candy Spelling over!

First Janet Jackson, now oldie rocker Meat Loaf!

Meat Loaf was awarded the "Q Classic Song gong" for his 1979 hit Bat Out Of Hell at Monday night's Q Awards ceremony in London, but he had to leave the festivities early to receive medical treatment after suffering vertigo, according to reports.

Meat Loaf apparently hit the red carpet looking dishevelled, was unsteady on his feet AND spoke incoherently when he accepted his gong on-stage. Award show-goers also say he almost fell during the award presentation!

Vertigo is no joke!

Get better, Meat Loaf.

P.S. Are we sure he wasn't on drugs????

Vertigo is the new "dehydration"!
