Prince Harry shovels and pushes a wheelbarrow as he helps rebuild a school in Butha-Buthe, Lesotho on Tuesday.

The 23-year-old prince and 26 soldiers from the Household Cavalry are in Lesotho for three weeks, working to rebuild a school for children with chronic physical and mental disabilities.

The Prince first visited Lesotho in his GAP year in 2004 on the invitation of Prince Seeiso, the brother of the King of Lesotho. The pair subsequently set up the charity Sentebale meaning ‘Forget Me Not’ to help Lesotho’s hundreds of thousands of orphans and vulnerable children.

Prince Harry said his mother would be proud of the work he and his regiment are doing to revamp a school for disabled children in the impoverished African kingdom of Lesotho.

Scottish stud James McAvoy gives a brooding, intense look on the August 2008 cover for Details magazine, on newsstands next week. Here are some of the highlights from the Wanted star’s interview:

On wanting to be the next Sexiest Man Alive: “I want to be like Matt Damon and do a hugely successful thinking-man’s action franchise like Bourne.”

On the types of movies he likes to star in: “Hugh Grant is f—ing great and he’s funny. I like romantic comedies. I’ve been in one and I f—ing loved it. I got to show off and I got to be a d—. It’s always fun to play d—. That’s why I loved Last King (of Scotland) -I got to be such a wanker.”

On being cast in Wanted alongside Angelina Jolie: “I think inside all actors, there’s a kid who secretly yearns to jump off buildings and say ‘Yippeekayay, motherf—er!’ I also thought that the fact that they were willing to cast someone like me showed a willingness to step outside the usual action-movie realm.”

NY Yankees star Alex Rodriguez ambles down the street in New York City after leaving his apartment on Monday afternoon.

Cynthia Rodriguez filed a petition for the dissolution of her six-year marriage in a Miami-Dade County circuit court yesterday, after having “exhausted every effort to salvage the marriage,” according to court papers. The marriage between Alex and Cynthia is “irretrievably broken because of the husband’s extramarital affairs and other marital misconduct,” according to her attorneys.

Madonna released a statement Sunday in which she denied being romantically involved with Rodriguez.

According to the filing, Cynthia asked for custody of the couple's two children, along with child support and alimony.

Reigning R&B prince Chris Brown and R&B princess Rihanna perform at the Louisiana Superdome during the 2008 Essence Music Festival on Friday, the Fourth of July, in New Orleans.

Here’s Billboard’s review of dear RiRi’s latest “Disturbia” single: “Rihanna has scored 10 top 40 hits since her career launched in 2005. More staggering, the 20-year-old has four songs riding the Pop 100: top two ‘Take a Bow,’ Maroon 5 duet ‘If I Never See Your Face Again’ just entering the top 40, ‘Don’t Stop the Music’ inside the top 40 after 30 weeks-and now ‘Disturbia.’ It’s safe to say that Rihanna is the premier artist of the second half of the decade, with no signs of wear and tear. This latest is a sort of ‘Thriller’ for partygoers, with multilayered vocals cascading across Ri’s lower register, alongside fun scatting, a la ‘bum bum bi dum bum’ with co-writing (and background vocals) from the irrepressible Chris Brown. Rereleased albums with added cuts have become a tedious trend, but ‘Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded’ is actually worth its weight in platinum. In short order, Rihanna has become the trustworthy ‘it’ girl of our time.’

Presto, the computer-animated short played before Wall-E, is amazing if you haven’t already seen it.

In short, Presto is about magician Presto DiGiotagione and his apprentice, a rabbit named Alec. Presto is known famous for his hat trick but doesn’t treat Alec very well. Unfortunately for Presto, Alec cleverly turns the hats’ magic against his guardian in a large number of painful and humiliating ways. Watch it below!

And, of course, it goes without saying that Wall-E is amazing as well. You can read up on all of the film’s Easter Eggs here.
