Michael Phelps soaks up his post-Olympics glory in the bath for Louis Vuitton, in a campaign shot by Annie Leibovitz.

Annie Leibovitz Does Disney

Disney theme parks have again enlisted Annie Leibovitz and a slew of celebrities, including Olivia Wilde and Alec Baldwin, seen above as Snow White's evil queen and her magical mirror, to recreate the company's iconic characters for an ad campaign.

The guys over at Comics Alliance don't seem too impressed with the latest offering:

There's a great idea underneath all these photographs. The Annie Leibovitz of many years ago would have executed what should have been impossibly beautiful live-action Disney images with aplomb. But what Disney failed to notice was that the Annie Leibovitz of today is more of a delegator of post-production processes...

Catholic group calls for protest of Corpus Christi production at Gallaudet University: "Ritchie quotes Archbishop Daniel E.

Tiger Woods is getting "raw" in a never-before-seen pre-scandal Annie Leibovitz shot.

"In the end it was the age-old clash of image versus reality, the compartmentalization of two different lives that inevitably merge at some certain point, whoever you are. He exhibited the same superhuman confidence off the golf course that he exhibited on it, apparently convinced he would never be caught despite the stupid sloppiness at the end—text messages, voice-mail messages. He deluded himself into thinking he could be something that he wasn’t: untouchable. The greatest feat of his career is that he managed to get away with it for so long in public, the bionic man instead of the human one who hit a fire hydrant."

And as long as we're on the topic, FOX News' Brit Hume says that for Woods to recover from all this he needs to switch from Buddhism to Christianity, AFTER THE JUMP...
