Exclusive in this week’s Italian edition of Vanity Fair is the worldwide preview of Dolce & Gabbana’s new spring/summer 2010 campaign featuring pop icon Madonna.

Madonna’s private life is seldom out of the papers but this new Dolce & Gabbana campaign is unlike anything you have seen before. Exit the paparazzo, these shots by Steven Klein reveal much more than a grainy stolen picture, they showcase an intimate, real aspect to the ultimate icon’s life.

In the Vanity Fair Italy feature, Stefano Gabbana discusses the campaign and why Madonna was the perfect match: “She loved the collection,” he says, “…she is passionate and impressively knowledgeable about Italian cinema,” (Monica is Vitti her favourite actress and we see the resemblance).”

When asked as to whether Madonna knows how to wash dishes, Stefano Gabbana replies “Certainly…she’s a very practical woman…” And does she actually eat spaghetti despite her most enviable figure? “Of course, says Stefano, and she can allow herself to with all the exercise she does!”

Long before he made tabloid (or even sports page) headlines, Tiger Woods was devastated by his own father’s philandering, according to his high school sweetheart.

Dina Parr, whom he dated during high school and into his freshman year in college, exclusively tells E! News that Woods would call her from the road during the summer to talk about his parents’ relationship.

“He would just call crying and say, ‘My dad is with another woman,’ and that would be all he could say,” she says. “He would be so upset, so I just tried to be there for him and listen to him.”

Woods was famously close to his dad, Earl, who died in 2006.

“He loved his father,” Parr tells E! News in the exclusive interview. “And I know that was the one thing about his dad that he could never get over. So yeah, it’s interesting that it’s turned out that he’s doing the same thing.”

More than a dozen different women have been mentioned in reports about Woods’ infidelities.

In announcing Friday that he was taking “an indefinite break” from golf, the 33-year-old struggling star finally admitted in so many words to being unfaithful to his wife of five years, Elin Nordegren.

As one of the Real Housewives of New York, a celebrity natural food chef, an author, and the soon-to-be star of her own docuseries for Bravo, Bethenny Frankel is everywhere right now—including on top of a New York City skyscraper without any clothes on! Bethenny has stripped down to say, “Fur? I’d Rather Go Naked,” and poses against the NYC skyline for PETA. The ad was shot by top celebrity photographer Joseph Cultice on location (that’s no fake NYC backdrop!) atop The Ludlow; the high-rise luxury apartment building on Manhattan’s Lower East Side.
