David Beckham takes his wife, Victoria and their three sons — Brooklyn, 9, Romeo, 6, and Cruz, 3 — to the Plaza Hotel for lunch on Saturday afternoon.

Per usual, Cruz looked pretty fierce, making funny faces for the paparazzi. That Romeo is too cute with his big smirk!

The Beckhams spent the long Thanksgiving weekend with Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and their three kids — Isabella, 15, Connor, 13, and Suri, 2.

Reese Witherspoon picks up a few items at the Temperley London boutique in Notting Hill, London on Saturday, November 29. (She’s in town without her two kids to do press with costar Vince Vaughn for their new comedy, Four Christmases.)

The 32-year-old actress spent Thanksgiving with boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal and actress pal Gwyneth Paltrow at a party thrown by British architect Richard Rogers.

Reese recently told the BBC that she’s going to limit the number of gifts her kids get for Christmas this year. She said, “I’m a little strict about that kind of stuff. I think kids do best when they only have a couple of things that they really enjoy. I try and stay away from the gluttony of things. They don’t appreciate it as much. When they only get one or two things they really like it.”

Rosie O’Donnell tried to revive the variety show format with Rosie Live! this Wednesday. Apparently the show flopped, with only 5 million tuning in to watch the NBC special.

Rosie, 46, blogged, “There will b no more. No ratings. Bad reviews. Yet still – a thrill 4 me… If the bloggers didnt like it, I knew it didn’t work.”

The reason for the cancellation was” “Not enough rehearsal. The live part wasn’t a plus. The in-theater experience didn’t transfer to TV. It was a pilot, meaning u try it [and] see if it works. Then if they pick it up, u fix it.”

But variety shows aren’t dead! In good spirits, Rosie says, “Many people r gonna try a variety show. One will work. Ellen tonight. The Osbournes have one. John Mayer. Check them out.”

Two generations of 90210 converged at the 2008 Gemini Awards at Intercontinental Hotel’s Metro Toronto Convention Centre on Friday, November 28 in Toronto, Canada.

Former Beverly Hills 90210 actor Jason Priestley, 39, and 90210 starlet Shenae Grimes, 19, met up on the red carpet at the event.

Jason will direct an episode for the new 90210 series, which will air this spring. His former on-screen sister, Shannen Doherty, is expected to return for two more episodes later this season.

The Queen star Helen Mirren takes a dip in the Pacific Ocean with her producer husband Taylor Hackford in Hawaii on Friday, November 28. The 63-year-old Oscar-winning actress showed off her enviable figure in a purple tankini as she went snorkeling.

Helen is currently filming a Shakespearean screen adaptation The Tempest on the islands. According to IMDB, in Julie Taymor’s version of The Tempest, the gender of Prospero has been switched to Prospera. Going back to the 16th or 17th century, women practicing the magical arts of alchemy were often convicted of witchcraft. In Taymor’s version, Prospera is usurped by her brother and sent off with her daughter on a ship. She ends up on an island; it’s a tabula rasa: no society, so the mother figure becomes a father figure to Miranda (Felicity Jones). This leads to the power struggle and balance between Caliban (Djimon Hounsou) and Prospera; a struggle not about brawn, but about intellect.

PRECIOUS MOMENTS

David Beckham leaves his wife Victoria at home and takes his three sons — Brooklyn, 9, Romeo, 6, and Cruz, 3 — for a little boy-bonding in New York City on Saturday morning.

The happy family grabbed a light breakfast at Starbucks and then went to buy mommy Posh some underwear at Victoria’s Secret.

The boys were seen holding hands and laughing together as they walked. Big brother Brooklyn even helped his brothers over some big puddles!

Becks was also seen stopping to take photos of his boys on the sidewalk.

Tom Cruise holds onto wife Katie Holmes’s hand as they leave Nobu restaurant after having dinner with fellow power couple David and Victoria Beckham.

Vicky B’s fur is most likely fake. In the past, she has voiced her anti-fur beliefs and promotes an animal friendly wardrobe filled with faux/synthetic furs. Of PETA anti-fur campaigns, Posh stated that she is “supportive of its high-profile anti-fur campaigns [and pledged to] never to work with fur in any of [her] own fashion collections.”

A fashionably dressed Nicole Richie arrives at a house in West Hollywood, carrying in her 10-month-old daughter Harlow for a playdate.

Singer pal Christina Aguilera recently got parenting tips from Nicole. Xtina told FOX, “I didn’t know much about Nicole, but because our little ones are born one day apart and through mutual friends I’ve had the opportunity of getting to know her and I was blown away with how great of a mom she is… I actually ask her for advice because she has a lot of great things that she does for her little one. She’s even a little more stricter with battery operated toys and what not, she’s a great woman.”

Here’s a little quote from Brit about sons Sean Preston, 3, and Jayden James, 2: “Every time they come to visit me, I think about how they’re such special people. Like, they’re going to preschool now! I went there to pick them up on Friday, and seeing them in their little classroom and seeing Jayden being bad or not listening? It’s like, those are mine, and it’s just crazy, you know what I mean? And the things that are coming out of their mouths right now — they’re learning so much, and it’s new, and you never know what they’re going to say, and they’re so smart yet so innocent. They’re obsessed with monsters, and every night we look outside, and we have to show them that there’s no monsters out there. It’s dark outside, but there’s nothin’ out there, you know?”
