Earlier today, Joe and a pal went off to do a little sight-seeing and visited the Centre Pompidou. The pair, along with bodyguard Big Rob, stopped off for some snacks at a créperie.

The Jonas Brothers reportedly picked Victoria Beckham, aka Posh Spice, as the person they’d most like to send into space because “she would show aliens the perfect body of a woman.”

Angelina Jolie opens up to the German edition of Vanity Fair about everything from politics to her newborn twins. Here are some choice quotes via Us Weekly:

On why she could be voting for Barack Obama: “Obama is fighting for international justice, he wants to intervene militarily in genocides abroad, and he wants to close down Guantanamo Bay. They are things which could move me to vote for him, not his roots. Of course, an American president like Barack Obama would be great for my family.” (On Monday, Brad carried a notebook with a Obama sticker on it.)

On why she’s proud of the USA: “I am very proud of being American, and all my children have got American passports. For me, our family is just what America is - a melting pot, a mixture of many different races and nations. My children should be proud of their Asian and African roots, but that in no way means [is] a lack of respect for the fact that they and their parents are Americans.”

On her twins Knox and Vivienne (3-months-old on Sunday): “It’s a damned arduous business, and we are often simply whacked out because it is twice as hard with two babies as with one. But it also makes for double the fun. After we flew back from Europe, we were all suffering a bit from jetlag. We were all in bed early, but at half past four, they were awake and making a real racket… Brad took care of them. He said to me, ‘Go back to sleep, you’re back to work in the morning,’ and moved into the kids’ room with them. He is an astounding father, full of devotion… [Knox and Vivienne] have quite similar, stable rhythms. Every three hours they get hungry, then I have to satisfy them. But that’s OK, the two of them are totally sweet. When you see them, you think they were made for each other. They laugh together, they sniff each other, touch each other. It is beautiful.”

On struggling to find alone time with Brad: “Sometimes, at the end of the day, we try to retire to the bathroom to be undisturbed,” she says. “But then [the kids] hear the water running and want to come in and, yet again, we are all together. But that doesn’t disturb us because they are great kids.”

On how fame has changed motherhood for her: “I would like to have more freedom, especially to have the chance to be more spontaneous with my kids. Would I like to be able to walk through the streets with my kids? Of course. Would I like to be able to wander around Manhattan and buy them an ice cream like other mothers? Of course. But it is not possible. On the other hand, every morning I wake up with the people who are the most dear to me in the whole world. That’s why I don’t feel isolated from that, which is important to me. It helps, of course, that Brad knows all about it, but he’s experienced it even more than me. We often talk about it and try to make the best of things. But I am very grateful for our life and everything that we have.”

A balding Paul Bettany shoots scenes with costar Toby Jones for their upcoming bio drama, Creation, in London on Friday.

In the film, Bettany, 37, plays world-renowned scientist Charles Darwin, who conceives a book that purportedly proves the non-existence of God. Crushed by the loss of his eldest daughter, Darwin writes his master-work, “The Origin of Species”. The movie tells of a global revolution played out the confines of a small English village; a passionate marriage torn apart by the most dangerous idea in history; and a theory saved from extinction by the logic of a child.

Bettany’s real-life wife Jennifer Connelly will play Emma Darwin, the wife (and cousin) of Charles. Emma was also the mother of their ten children.

Beyonce will release the Jake Nava-directed music videos for her two new singles “If I Were a Boy” and “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)” this Monday, October 13 via MTV, BET, VH1 and Fuse.

“It’s kind of like Freaky Friday,” Beyonce tells Billboard of the concept behind the “If I Were a Boy” vid, where she plays a police officer. “In the beginning of the video, my husband makes me breakfast and he’s excited about it, and I kind of don’t have time to eat. As a police officer, I have a male partner and the video goes through our days. My husband’s at work and has attractive girls flirting with him but he declines their advances. I have a guy flirting with me, and I flirt back.”

Beyonce adds, “It’s about all of the little things that mean so much in a relationship. At the end of the clip, you realize that I was acting out his life, and it all starts over again. He was a cop and everything that happened was really him doing the same thing to me.”

Here are the very first pictures of Robert Downey Jr. filming Sherlock Holmes on Friday, currently filming in Central London.

When asked what he could bring to a character portrayed countless times on film and television, RDJ has joked: “Clearly I’m going to do it better than it’s ever been done. The more I read about it the more overwhelmed I was by the weight of it and the amount of people who will be watching to see if it’s gotten right.”

Check out the pictures below–it looks like RDJ and his stunt double are conferring with each other on how to jump off the building they’re standing on. Also pictured: director Guy Ritchie.

WHAT DO YOU THINK of Sherlock Holmes’ new look — HOT or NOT?

Hugh Jackman takes his son Oscar Maximillian, 8, and daughter Ava Eliot, 3, for a dip at Andrew (Boy) Charlton Pool in Sydney, Australia on Friday.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, the marketing push behind Hugh’s new film Australia will be epic.

Cinema insiders say the aggressive campaign for the Baz Luhrmann-directed outback romance, which costars Nicole Kidman, will be easily the most expensive Australia has seen.

People magazine has an exclusive photo shoot with the stars of High School Musical 3: Senior Year — Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Corbin Bleu, Lucas Grabeel, Monique Coleman and Ashley Tisdale.

“It’s strange,” Zac says of the ever-present paparazzi. “Every day is a crazy adventure. We do some pretty kooky things to avoid them. It’s like The Bourne Identity. I’m starting to learn the ways of the ninja.”

Entertainment Weekly also has more outtakes of Zac from his cover photo shoot, a few of which are pictured below.

FIVE-DOLLAR FOOTLONGS

90210 starlet Shenae Grimes eats fresh as she picks up a Subway sandwich and two soft drinks before heading home in Los Angeles on Thursday.

The 18-year-old Canadian actress continues to fight talk that she has a weight problem. She recently blogged, “Now, as you all know now probably, I graced my first major magazine cover, only to be called ‘too skinny’ alongside my co-star Jessica Stroup. I would like to say once again that neither me or Jessica have issues with our weight or bodies. I happened to be very small built, and I’ve always been skinny. So I personally think that people need to stop criticizing everyone in the media these days about their issues. I’m sure you wouldnt like it if someone pointed out all of your flaws and all of your mistakes.”

Sigourney Weaver, who guest stars on the Season 2 premiere of Eli Stone as Eli’s therapist, tells TV Guide, “The idea that they would be so bold as to create a show about faith was very exciting.”

She adds, “I’m not big on organized religion, but I wanted to convert to Judaism for a while. I went and lived on a kibbutz in Israel, but it was so lame because it was very conservative and all the women worked in the kitchen. It wasn’t a bunch of us out in the fields picking oranges and singing the way I had hoped, you know?”

On her new role as Eli’s therapist, she says, “I actually have a therapist. She’s very smart and we try not to talk about politics because we’re both incensed about Sarah Palin.”

Diddy would approve this message.

Eli Stone premieres this Tuesday, October 14th @ 10PM ET/PT on ABC. Katie Holmes’s will be featured the week after on Oct. 21.
