Madonna with her children, Lourdes and David

  • Is LA passé? Is the rest of the world the new Hyde/Parc? Half of the celeb world seems elsewhere at the moment. Madonna is still in Malawi with daughter Lourdes and son David. The trio were photographed visiting the Home of Hope orphanage in Mchinji yesterday.
  • David Beckham treated wife Victoria Beckham to a rumoured £40,000 trip to Paris to celebrate her birthday yesterday. The pair were spotted out shopping during the day and then heading out for a meal together in the evening.
  • Kate Winslet is in Paris too at the moment - she was snapped while filming an advert for Lancome cosmetics outside the Louvres in the city.
  • Kylie Minogue on the other hand is in London, working on her new album but also fitting in some designer shopping - she was snapped leaving her London home on her way to Chanel yesterday.

  • Justin Timberlake’s in the UK too, working and playing before the start of his UK tour. After working in London with Madonna last week, he’s now taking some R&R - he was spotted playing golf at Carnoustie Golf Club in Dundee yesterday.
  • Cate Blanchett attended the IWC Da Vinci Launch party at the Geneva Palaexpo in Geneva, Switzerland yesterday in a stunning outfit.
  • And the Spider-Man crowd held a press conference about the film in Tokyo following the film’s premiere in the city at the weekend.
  • But LA does still have some celebrities to call its own - Lindsay Lohan, for example, headed back to the city after her trip to Japan last week. She was spotted leaving Orso after lunch and on her way into Winston’s in the evening.
  • Cameron Diaz perhaps should have joined her for lunch - all those trips to the gym that Cameron has been making seem to have had an effect on her body but if she takes it too much further, she’ll disappear.
  • Speaking of food, Sienna Miller and boyfriend Jamie Burke were spotted dropping in for an emergency In-N-Out Burger on the way to LAX yesterday.
  • The Simpson sisters hit the town on Monday night - Ashlee Simpson and boyfriend Pete Wentz first partied at Element before joining Jessica Simpson and her escaping breasts at Parc later on.
  • And finally Britney Spears looked neat and sleek for a change in a flattering LBD on her way out of another session at the Millennium Dance Studio - until the legwarmers came into view at least.
