“Sexiest Man Alive” Hugh Jackman (in Ferragamo) and his wife Deborra-Lee Furness walk hand-in-hand together under an umbrella on a rainy Thursday night in Rome’s Spain Square. How romantic!

Today, the couple was seen with 3-year-old daughter Ava Eliot, enjoying sunny views of the city from their balcony at Rome’s Hotel Hassler before once again venturing out into the inclement weather.

Hugh and his family are in Rome to promote his new film Australia.

Beyonce and Jay-Z take in the sights at the Art Basel Miami exhibition, a prestigious international art show, held at the Miami Beach Convention Center in the city’s Art Deco district on Thursday.

Perhaps the superstar couple was there to find something new for their walls at home!

A spin-off for the hugely successful CW drama, Gossip Girl, is in the works, according to Variety.

The spin-off would act as an episode of Gossip Girl later this year to gauge audience reaction. But it’s won’t be for Little J! The trade mag says the spin-off would not feature “The It Girl,” nor would it focus on the character of Jenny Humphrey (the character spun off from the Gossip Girl books for “The It Girl”), played on TV by Taylor Momsen.

Who should get their own spin-off series — Blair, Serena, Chuck, Nate, Dan or Vanessa?

Jennifer Aniston tries to avoid being photographed by covering her face with today’s copy of the LA Times on Friday morning. (She also toted around a brown ostrich Ferragamo bag.)

Earlier this week, her boyfriend John Mayer jokingly accused her for falsely taking credit for her “Obama cake” she claimed to have made for an election night party.

Mayer told Extra, “Jen and I made that cake together….She didn’t really give me any credit for that cake. I was the architect on that cake. I put a lot of my time in designing that cake. I was a good man…I shared the process. From mixing to frosting….[she] took all the credit.”

Mayer continued to joke, saying, “There’s some trouble but we’re getting over it…We’re having therapy everyday in Brentwood…and we’re figuring this out because that was my time to shine on Oprah.”

Marilyn Manson keeps close to his new girlfriend, LA model Isani Griffith, at the vernissage of his inaugural U.S. exhibition “Marilyn Manson: Trismegistus” during Art Basel Miami 2008 on Thursday.

Marilyn, 39, and Isani, 24, have been dating ever since his split last month with Evan Rachel Wood, 21.

Victoria Beckham graces the January 2009 cover of Harper’s Bazaar, which hits newsstand on December 16th. Here are some great interview highlights:

On always being in high heels: “Oh, c’mon, they’re not that hard to walk in…They’re not uncomfortable! You have to go to a sex shop to get this spray to polish them.”

On whether she personally went to the sex shop to buy the polish: “Oh. No…”

On her success in the fashion world: “I really had to prove myself, though…But now I feel like I am competing in an arena where I belong.”

On her routine: “It’s funny; I go to the gym now…I run four miles a day…I go into hair and makeup, and I turn into ‘Victoria Beckham.’ I’ll try on all my dresses, and I’ll pick out a handbag, and I’ll put on the shades. I instantly turn into this person, and it sort of feels like a character. And there are so many pictures of it…But it’s a true character because it’s still me.”

On occasionally letting herself go: “I run around the house in a tracksuit sometimes!…If I go to the supermarket looking like s—, that affects my work. I am selling an image. Plus, I have fun with it.”

On her image: “I have started smiling…I’ve mastered this smirk; it’s a smile that isn’t a smile.”

On her previous performance anxiety: “I used to get so nervous, and when I got on the red carpet, I’d freeze up. I’ve had so many things said about me over the years, like a public bullying.”

On not being nervous anymore: “The older you get, the more comfortable you become with yourself, and you accept what you have physically. Also, the fact that my business is doing very well…makes me feel a little more confident, too.”

On the paparazzi: “I don’t complain about paparazzi because I’ve put myself in that position, and so has David. But I always say to the boys, someone is going to take your picture because you’re handsome or you’re smart or because you’re so good at soccer. But every now and again, Romeo might pick up one of David’s cameras and say, ‘Victoria, Victoria, over here!’ And his attitude is sort of angry… I tell you, the paparazzi would not be sitting outside if they realized I was the most boring person in Hollywood.”
