Life may not always be “Pleasantville,” but he is married to one of America’s best known “Desperate Housewives.” Does that make him a desperate husband? William H. Macy met Felicity Huffman when she was a student of his at the Atlantic Theater Company, and married her soon after. Wikipedia declares the couple’s new name: Filliam H. Muffman -- the “official” portmanteau of the couple. Macy is a truly versatile actor, having appeared in such films as “Fargo” (for which he was nominated for an Academy Award), “Seabiscuit,” “Pleasantville,” and even the controversial film “Boogie Nights,” which he was advised against starring in. Apparently it hasn’t ruined his career at all! Even the creators of “The Simpsons” have teased that he would make a perfect Ned Flanders if they ever filmed a live-action version of “The Simpsons.” Look out TomKat! You can’t shop at this Macys, but they’ve got the goods!

You might assume that the daughter of a girl who followed the yellow brick road and traveled “over the rainbow” would have a brilliant life full of awe and wonder, but movies rarely reflect real life. Liza Minelli’s life hasn’t always been a cabaret, but she’s well-known for her performance in the stage musical Cabaret. She’s performed several major feats in her life, including the winning of entertainment’s four highest awards--the Oscar, the Tony, The Emmy, and the Grammy. Not only that, but she and her mother were the first mother-daughter couple to each win an Oscar. Ms. Minelli. “Liza One-Note” is a hilarious song created by Forbidden Broadway, parodying Liza’s famous feat of holding out one particular note in many songs that she sings. She’s an icon in Hollywood, a reminiscent reminder of classic Hollywood, and we applaud her for that.

One of the original members of Destiny’s Child, LeToya Luckett has been singing since she was a wee little thing, and like many performers, her singing career started in the church. She met former band mate Beyonce Knowles in elementary school; however, an ugly split within Destiny’s Child shattered this childhood friendship. “For love or money”—isn’t that how the saying goes? Apparently the remaining members of Destiny’s Child chose the money. So, is it truth or paranoia that the lyrics to the song “Survivor” reflect on LeToya’s barring from the group? Still, Luckett’s luck hasn’t run out. She’s working on a solo album which should be released shortly. In the meantime you can find fancy digs at her clothing boutique, “Lady Elle,” located in the Houston-Galleria area. Destiny sure hasn’t given up on this child.

She captured our hearts during season four of American Idol, and America chose her as the newest pop country star when she won the title of “American Idol.” Her sweet southern voice and shy demeanor has made fans of music lovers who enjoy almost every genre, not only country. Her upbringing on the family farm had its own virtues which even PETA applauds—Carrie refuses to eat meat because she fears eating one of her pets; she was even named “World’s Sexiest Vegetarian” by PETA in 2005. She is perhaps one of the few contestants about whom Simon Cowell has ever had more positive to say than negative; he even made several statements predicting that she would not only win the competition, but that she would go on to sell more albums than previous American Idol winners. With her graceful style and pure vocals, there’s no doubt she’ll continue singing for audiences worldwide. Her voice even has even non-country music fans turning up their radios and iPods.

Ladies, start drooling. Gents, stop grumbling. Despite the rumors and drama, the latest James Bond is here to stay. Blonde-haired, blue-eyed Daniel Craig was among quite a few actors who were up for the role, with Pierce Brosnan passing the torch. He is the first blonde actor to play 007, prodding some to call him “James Blonde,” and has already garnered a fan base in his native England with roles including the miniseries “Archangel,” and his portrayal of Sylvia Plath’s poet-husband Ted Hughes, opposite Gwyneth Paltrow. For those who scoff at his ability to portray James Bond, it may help to know that he’ll be portraying a colder and more youthful Bond, adapted from the first Bond novel. As cold as he may be some lucky gal will be sure to scorch the screen with Bond…James Bond.

How many of us used to squeal when we heard the lyrics “It’s all right ‘cause I’m saved by the bell,” and got dreamy-eyed when prankster “Zack Morris” got into his regular antics? Who would have thought that this same mischievous wild child (at least he played one on television) would grow up to play a cop on police drama “N.Y.P.D. Blue”? (That seems to be a rite-of-passage, since former child actor Rick Schroder also played a cop on “Blue.”) So where did this heartthrob get his studly looks from? His parents are Dutch and Indonesian; makes you wonder if Mark-Paul wooed his wife in the Dutch tongue? With one child and another on the way, let’s hope his kids won’t give him a taste of prankster antics like those he dished out regularly on “Saved by the Bell.”

A member of the revived “Mickey Mouse Club” in the early 90s, Keri Russell is best known for her leading role on the popular college-age drama “Felicity,” as Felicity Porter, a young woman who travels cross-country for love and education. Let’s face it--her fashionable curls had us hooked from the start—that and her on-again-off-again love triangle with Ben and Noel. She caused quite a ruckus in the entertainment industry when she chopped her lengthy, curly hair during season two; in fact, the network made sure that its stars would not alter their hairstyles by proposing a resolution in order to series’ cancellation or firing of actors. Well, she didn’t have to worry about her career over an itty-bitty haircut; loyal fans’ letters helped keep the show on the air, and her career certainly hasn’t suffered. J.J. Abrams chose her to star with Tom Cruise in the third installment of “Mission Impossible.” She’s also been named as the new face of Cover Girl. Guess a little haircut didn’t hurt much.

Who didn’t fall in love with Ewan McGregor when he crooned popular love songs in “Moulin Rouge”? Those big blue eyes could melt an iceberg, I tell ya! Of course it doesn’t hurt that he knows how to wield a light-saber (he played a young Obi-Wan Kenobi in the latest Star Wars films). His thoughts on “Star Wars”? “Actually, I really want to play Princess Leia. Stick some big pastries on my head. Now, that would be interesting.” And to top it all off, he recently portrayed the role of Skye Masterson, the gambler who wins at love, in a London production of the stage musical Guys and Dolls. Yes ladies and gents, he can sing AND dance! All that and yet he apparently declined the offer to be a candidate for the next James Bond. Why, oh why not, Ewan?

Celine Dion’s voice has been heard worldwide, and her songs have become anthems to the multitudes; whether or not you enjoy her music she is undoubtedly one of the best vocalists of our time. This Quebec-born diva has been singing professionally since her childhood, but she was so eager to proceed with her career in America that it took her only three months to learn English! She’s moved her career in a different direction these last few years, performing five nights a week in Las Vegas; her extravagant spectacular stage show features special effects and lots of singing and dancing. The show, entitled "A New Day," was inspired by Cirque de Soleil. Celine has several new fragrances, including the newer “Belong,” and “Always Belong,” as well as “Celine Dion Parfum” and “Celine Dion Parfum Notes.” If you’re up for an interesting read be sure to check out the book Celine Dion: For Keeps.

Australian supermodel Elle Macpherson, also known as The Body, is turning 40, and she’s still as beautiful as ever—proving that 40 is indeed the new 30! She’s even so popular in her native Australia that she’s been featured on a postage stamp! When she first began modeling ELLE Magazine featured her in every issue for six years in a row! What’s more, Sports Illustrated loved her, too, and featured her on their cover four times, three of those in a row. Among supermodels and their financial status, Elle ranks first. Aside from her modeling, she’s also ventured into film and television, appearing on “Friends” as Joey’s girlfriend, and several films. Look out Victoria’s Secret—Elle has created her own line of lingerie, Elle Macpherson Intimates. The greatest part is that you don’t have to be six-feet tall (like Elle) to wear them!
