Ashton Kutcher bought Demi Moore a rare photography book for Christmas. It’s supposed to be a surprise but if Demi reads the tabloids she’ll be tipped off:

Ashton Kutcher was out doing some early Christmas shopping at Barneys New York in Beverly Hills with a buddy on Wednesday, Dec. 6, when he came across a great gift.

“He was so thrilled with the it — a $2,500 art and photography book with it’s own stand by Peter Beard. It’s a collector’s edition and only 2,500 books are available,” said an eyewitness. “Ashton said it was the ‘perfect gift’!”

And Cameron Diaz bought Justin Timberlake a coveted Sony PlayStation 3. She had one of her flunkies wait in line for hours to get the game console, but it doesn’t matter that the news is out, because Timberlake got his gift early and is already addicted to it:

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE hinted heavily to girlfriend CAMERON DIAZ that a Sony PlayStation 3 was #1 on his Santa Claus list - so she paid an assistant to camp in front of an electronics store from the wee hours onward. Here’s the Good News: After many exhausting hours fighting long lines, the assistant captured the prize and Cameron jumped for joy! The Bad News? She got so excited over snagging the coveted toy, she just couldn’t wait until Christmas to see Lover Boy’s eyes light up with Lover Joy - so she gifted it on Thanksgiving! Justin’s so thrilled he hasn’t stopped playing with the gizmo since he got it - making Cameron a PlayStation widow!

In other cute celebrity Holiday news, Mark Wahlberg says he just wants to see his “daughter’s face when she comes down the stairs” for Christmas, and that he wouldn’t mind some golf stuff too.

David Beckham has hinted that he wants some frying pans for Christmas because he loves to cook.

From The National Enquirer’s Mike Walker comes the story of an hilarious prank Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio played on player Jack Nicholson. Nicholson was in the hospital to get his salivary glands checked out and they posed as masked interns trying to give him a rectal exam!

That’s a great story that would have been made better by news of an accompany Punk’d video, but I’ll have settle for a mental image.

Matt, Leo and Jack star in Martin Scorsese’s “The Departed,” which according to Pajiba is a well-crafted and compelling crime drama with an amazing cast.

All I need to know is that Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio are in it. Mark Wahlberg is just an added bonus.

Here’s the trailer on YouTube.

And here are some pictures from the film, courtesy of All Movie Photo.

Mark Wahlberg, aka Marky Mark, almost was on one of the 9/11 flights that were hijacked on that tragic day. He had a flight booked, but changed his mind and flew out of Toronto instead. Wikipedia says that he rebooked the flight just a day before - on September 10th. He said the decision still haunts him:

It’s a good thing that he changed his mind about his travel plans. Chances are he and his friends would have died too.

Mark has two children with his girlfriend, model Rhea Durham. They have a daughter, Ella Rae, born on September 2, 2003, and a son, Michael, born on March 21, 2006.
