Sasha Baron Cohen and Anna Farris zip around New York

Sasha Baron Cohen and Anna Farris zipped through Manhattan traffic on a moped while shooting a scene for The Dictator in New York City, New York on Monday, June 27th, 2011. The duo looked comfy with Anna rockin’ a pair of denim overalls, black combat boots, and comfy jacket while Cohen wore a pair of tattered pants and shoes that were obviously missing their laces!

The comedy tells “the heroic story of a dictator who risks his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed,” according to IMDb. Cohen stars as a goat-herder and an oppressive dictator who finds himself lost in America.

Farris nabbed the female lead role in early May. All we know about it thus far is that she is the owner of a natural foods store in The Big Apple.

It is being directed by Larry Charles with whom Sasha has previously worked with on mockumentaries Borat and Bruno.

Jai Rodriguez celebrates birthday in Miami

With work on two shows keeping him busy most days and nights, we were ecstatic when the opportunity arose to honor actor Jai Rodriguez with a birthday celebration! In cooperation with top Miami promoter Edison Farrow, I assisted in putting together a fabulous party for Jai on Tuesday, June 14th, 2011 at the fabulous Mondrian Hotel in Miami Beach, Florida.

Celebrity guests in attendance were Suzie Ketcham from the VH-1 hit reality tv show Basketball Wives and Glenn Packard from Brooke Knows Best. Joining Jai for the soiree were his co-stars from the production of Summer Shorts including Stephen Trovillion, Gregg Weiner, Finnerty Steeves, and Ceci Fernandez.

Jai blew out candles from a sumptuous chocolate mousse cake courtesy of Sinful Sweets by Andy Lee. I saw more than a few people who couldn’t resist more than one slice! (Including Jai!)

Krazy for Sweets also provided delicious cake pops for guests as they arrived.

If you missed out on Summer Shorts or Dirty Little Secrets, you are still in luck! You can catch either or both productions during their stint at the Broward Center from Thursday, June 30th to Sunday, July 3rd.

David Schwimmer greets fans in London

Though he is remembered mostly for his role as Ross on the hit sitcom Friends, David Schwimmer has since been making a name for himself behind the lens. His directorial debut arrived in 2007 with the charming Run Fatboy Run, a romantic comedy starring Simon Pegg and Thandie Newton followed by his work on the Little Britain spinoff Little Britain USA which aired on HBO for one season.

His latest directorial project is the Clive Owen drama, Trust which is gearing up for a UK premiere in a couple of weeks. In support of the film, the forty four year old has been making the press rounds as evident by these photos of him arriving at ITV Studios in London on Monday, June 27th, 2011.

David’s private life has also been on the upswing! He married English photographer Zoe Buckman last year and the pair have since welcomed a daughter named Cleo in early May.

Trust opens on July 8th, 2011.

Have Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig tied the knot?

After a secret love affair that has been going on for quite some time, it seems like Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig have quietly gotten married in New York City according to News of the World and The Daily Mail. The couple have been friends for years but apparently became close while shooting the dramatic thriller Dream House in Canada where they play husband and wife.

They are rumored to have fallen for each other while both were in long term relationship. Rachel had been with director Darren Aronovsky for nine years while the James Bond actor was involved with Satsuki Mitchell for around five years.

The Daily Mail claims the wedding took place last Wednesday with only four people present.

The guests were said to be Daniel’s 18-year-old daughter Ella and Rachel’s son Henry, four, plus two family friends who acted as witnesses.

Neither has given a confirmation as of yet but if it turns out to be true, we offer our congratulations!

**UPDATE: A rep for Rachel Weisz has confirmed that the wedding did indeed take place and the couple are now man and wife!!**

Salma Hayek takes a stroll with daughter Valentina

Where has the time gone?! I can still remember like it was yesterday when Salma Hayek announced her pregnancy. Here we are today seeing images of her daughter Valentina, now three and a half years old, while on a walk in Los Angeles, California on Friday, June 24th, 2011.

The duo departed from a medical building looking extremely stylish. Salma wore a mid length, tan dress with a belt carefully accentuating her waist. She finished the look with a pair of sandal booties and a printed scarf.

With the huge baby boom going on in Hollywood, could this sexy Mexicana and husband François-Henri Pinault be planning for another baby?
