Rating:  Summary: Whoa! Cool me Down! Review: Rolling Stone has done it once again with some great photographs of all the current "IN" celebrities. The cover of the book features Bad Girl Angelina Jolie looking all wet and wild. Great photos from David LaChapelle (Anna Kournikova and Rose McGowan are scorching and those classic "little girl" pics of Britney Spears that caused an uproar). Overall a fun coffee table book that would make a great holiday gift for anyone into celebrities and great photography.

Rating:  Summary: Get it away! Review: The cover of this book looks like a wet ghoul peering out for the next victim. I have no interest in seeing any more, thank you.
Rating:  Summary: Sexy, Imaginative, Fun Images of Today's Young Stars Review: This book would make a great gift for the young person who follows the current popular performers and recording artists. As the introduction says, this is "a balmy book full of heat-seeking images." It is dedicated to the proposition that "youth isn't necessarily wasted on the young." And I think they succeed. Although I was not familiar with all of the singers, actors actresses, and sports figures photographed here, I found the images to be remarkably appealing. I was particularly impressed with the photographs by Isabel Snyder who has a great gift for bringing out emotion and unusual perspectives in her work. Clearly, if you only looked at her work, you would be highly rewarded. I particularly liked her wet reflective image of Barry Wilson, the seductive Jennifer Shy, the defiant Caspar Van Dien, and the dopey cigarette pose of Ryan Phillippe. Jennifer Love Hewitt is one of the few subjects who appears more than once. She portrays great diversity between her humorous head shot with a candy on her tongue that reads "you melt on my tongue" by Robert Erdmann and a haunting pout in her other photograph. Unexpected depth showed in Leonardo di Caprio's lounging on a bare mattress in a rundown room with peeling paint by Mark Seliger. You see the seductive side of Britney Spears as captured in two photographs by David La Chapelle. La Chapelle also produced the best two photograph sequence involving Eminem holding a firecracker, both before and after. Classical references worked well, such as when Mark Seliger captured Fiona Apple as Medea. Put-ons abound. One of my favorites is Ricky Martin in a pool surrounded by nude lovelies facing down, appearing to have swooned for him. Mark Seliger also comes up with two winners in his two humorous images of the Backstreet Boys. After you finish enjoying these photographs, I suggest that you dig out a camera, grab another person and take turns coming up with your own "youthful" poses. Be young at heart, whatever your age!
