"Highlander" actor Sean Connery, pictured wearing a blazer and tartan scarf, was all smiles as he appeared at a book festival in Edinburgh, Scotland. The former "James Bond" star was clutching a copy of his tome called appropriately, "Being A Scot". Connery had just celebrated his 78th birthday.
Connery last appeared in a film in 2003, in "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen", although he did provide his instantly recognisable voice for "Sir Billi the Vet" in 2006. However, there are few film fans that would argue that his greatest acting moments were in films such as "Dr No" and "Goldfinger".

Last night in Denver, Sen. Hillary Clinton spoke before the Democratic National Convention, urging party unity and support for Sen. Barack Obama.
She can give a great speech - but it's the former presidential candidate's style we're concerned about. The former First Lady even poked fun at herself, referring to her supporters as The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pantsuits.
Did Hillary Clinton make it work - or should the fashion police pull her over? Tell us if you think it's a fashion hit or miss in the poll below!
Marion "Suge" Knight has arrested busted again, this time for allegedly terrorizing and attacking his girlfriend, according to Las Vegas police.
The rap mogul was busted by cops in Sin City for assault with a deadly weapon, possession of controlled substances and domestic violence.
Law enforcement sources report that Suge Knight allegedly attacked his girlfriend of three years early this morning. She claims he punched her in the back of the head while the two of them were driving. Not cool, Sugar Bear.
She claims she tried getting out of the car, but then grabbed the steering wheel to cause an accident so someone would notice her peril.
Alleged badass Suge Knight looks kinda weak in his latest mug shot - unless he's reading this right now, in which case we're obviously kidding. Play on, playa!
The car hit the curb and stopped. She fled from the car and allegedly Suge Knight chased her, caught her and that's when the cops came.
Cops say they saw Suge kick her in the head while wielding a knife. Yeah ... dude is a bit scary. DMX isn't even in the same league.
Seriously. Jessica Simpson is officially off the hook.
At least at last year's VMA debacle, Britney Spears didn't even pretend to sing. If she had, the pop wreck might have provided more material such as this video circulating online. It's from some old shows, and man, it's far from good.
Britney clearly lip-synched the concerts shown here, but someone behind the scenes apparently recorded what, if anything, was actually sung (more like spoken, really) into her mic. The audience didn't hear this, but we can now!
Listen to Britney's voice over her mic while performing ...
Okay, so maybe they're not dead-ringer look-alikes such as Leighton Meester and Minka Kelly. But Olympic gymnastics gold medalist Nastia Liukin, 16, and Heroes hottie Hayden Panettiere do have a few things in common.
They're a pair of bikini-clad, petite, sorta muscular cuties who, well... sometimes, you just wanna break the law. Let's leave it at that.


Nastia Liukin won an Olympic gold medal. Hayden Panettiere is a hero, too ... or at least she stars on Heroes. But as an indestructible cheerleader, people! Nice!
