 Britney
Spears by Robert Sebree
"Britney lets you
forget who she is by being personable," says Sebree. "When
she steps into the shoes of Britney the Phenomenon, you have
to remind yourself this is the same young woman with whom
you were just eating chicken and telling stories."

Bruce
Willis by Robert Sebree
"We got the call that the shoot was a go only two days before
Christmas," says USA WEEKEND photo editor Matt Mendelsohn.
"Getting Bob and his assistant to Hailey, Idaho, on Christmas
Eve quickly became a logistical nightmare. It's hard enough
just getting to Atlanta on Christmas Eve, let alone Hailey."

Liu by Julie Dennis Brothers "There's
a really delicate balance of strength and vulnerability in
this photo," says Brothers, who most recently photographed

 Drew
Carey by Deborah Feingold
"We did the rock-scissors-paper
thing to see who would present Drew with the opera singer idea,"
recalls Feingold.
"I lost. He said, 'Great!
Can I put on lipstick, too?' Need I say more?"

 Macy
Gray by Todd Plitt
"Macy
walked onto the set," says Plitt, "and my immediate reaction
to my assistant was, 'Tony! The ladder!' Not only did she tower
above my 5 feet 11 inches, but her mere presence was powerful.
To me, the beautiful lines of her features and hair told the
story."
