But hey, we're also known for working too much. We don't siesta, most of us put in way more than 40 hours a week, and we go straight from our work PCs to our home office laptops. Sometimes we just need to dumb down and cater to our disgusting urges.
And celebrities are no different. Hollyscoop has talked to celebs about what their vices are, and after interrogating and researching, we've put together a list of our favorite celebrity guilty pleasures.
Except she's married to the handsome prince and she posed with Jeff Bridges. Love you Jeff, but Javier is smoking hot.
Anyway, back to Disney, Penelope, Olivia Wilde, Jeff Bridges, Queen Latifah and Alec Baldwin all posed for these great shots for Disney by famed photographer Anne Leibovitz.
Speaking about the photographs, Anne said: 'We started by looking at the classic stories - Snow White, Cinderella, The Little Mermaid, Peter Pan. We put 10 or 12 of the obvious ones into development. The people we got to play the central roles in the first series of photographs felt the way I did about Disney. They all grew up with Disney characters."
“Let the Memories Begin” features Olivia as the evil queen from Snow White and Alec Baldwin as the Magic Mirror.
Queen Latifah posed as Ursula from The Little Mermaid and Penelope and Jeff posed as Belle and the Beast from Beauty and the Beast. There's also some really great behind the scenes shots.
The photos will appear in special inserts in April issues of O, The Oprah Magazine; People; People En Espanol; Real Simple; Essence and InStyle.

According to a police report, the film crew was prepping for a scene at a housing block in the Chelsea district of New York City, when gunfire erupted at a nearby housing project.
According to the NY Daily News, three bullets ended up hitting an unidentified man in the torso and leg, after he was parking his car in front of the building. He had gotten into a heated argument with two other men on the street.
Members of the film crew witnessed the entire thing, and one says he saw the man lying on the street yelling out for help. Feliberto Rivera was hanging up “no parking” signs on the street when the shooting occurred. He tells the Daily News, "I was waiting for him to get up, but he did not. He yelled, 'Help! Help!' The neighbors kept saying, 'Get up!' Then the ambulance came."
The victim was in stable condition at St. Vincent's Hospital in Manhattan on Sunday.
No arrests have been made in the case, but production on the film has been pushed back since the incident. Looks like it’s time to find a safer set!

Access Hollywood says she’s just one of a long list of celebrities being considered for the coveted position.
Latifah’s rep couldn’t be reached for comment. One rumor we can squash, however, is the J. Lo one. Media Take Out had reported she was in active negotiations for the part, but her rep has since denied it.
According to the New York Post, other stars under consideration for Idol are Cyndi Lauper, Tiffany and Belinda Carlisle – in addition to reports that Paula herself may return to the show after all.
In related news, Kara DioGuardi wants the public to know she was never brought on to replace Paula. She tells Us Weekly, "The way I'm understanding it is that it was her choice to leave.I never was here to replace her. It would be impossible to replace Paula Abdul. She's an incredible talent. She is somebody who helped make the show as big as it is. How could you ever replace that? If anything, she was really somebody who helped me because it was awkward at times being the fourth person.”
Who do you think should fill Paula’s shoes permanently?

She recently opened up to Essence magazine, and confessed a secret she’s been hiding for years. As a child, Queen told the magazine she’d been sexually abused by her babysitter.
Queen says in the interview, "He violated me. I never told anybody. I just buried it as deeply as I could and kept people at an arms length."
She says it affected her so strongly, and even altered her relationships in her adult life. Queen continues in the interview, "I never really let a person get too close to me. I could have been married years ago, but I had a commitment issue."
How horrible! It’s so sad that she’s been living with that terrible secret all this time, and it’s been haunting her into her adult life. We’re so happy to know she’s been able to focus all of her positive energy into her career, and has been so successful. She deserves all the happiness she has in her life!
