Sometimes being a superstar can be a real drag -- see which stars have crossed over to the other side.

Music icons Elton John and a dragalicious Sting performed together at the same event in NYC on Thursday.



Question is ...

Looking like three little bears, Brad Pitt, Sting and Jim Carrey didn't keep their new facial growths on the down low on Tuesday.


While Angelina was not around, Sting and Jim were accompanied by their significant others, Trudie Styler and Jenny McCarthy.

These fellas are proud of their beards.

Every breath he takes we'll be watching Sting not age.



Here's the 35-year-old former Police frontman back in 1986 (left) -- and 23 years later, the 57-year-old version at an event in NYC last week (right).

Every little thing he does is magic.

Sting must be gunning for Hugh Jackman's job, because with that beard yesterday in L.A., he looked like he was an Adamantium skeleton away from being the next Wolverine.

Pete Doherty isn't the kinda guy you bring home to dad -- so no wonder Sting was calling BS on UK tab stories his daughter was hanging out with the male Amy Winehouse.

Chris Brown wouldn't talk about Rihanna -- but he didn't mind bringing up Kim K's big phat ass.

Also in L.A.: Katie Price and a blond Peter Andre barely covered up a crotch shot, James Marsters shot down any future for a Spike spin-off flick, M-Rod took her new hybrid for a drive and Urkel tried to hide in a camouflage lined jacked.

In NY: Sting was asked about Roxanne, "Gossip Girl" bitch Leighton Meester signed for fans and Renee Zelwegger ran past paps as fast as possible.

Jennifer Aniston, Adam Sandler, Alanis Morissette and Jeremy Piven were all rallying for the police last night -- well, the Sting-fronted band of the same name, anyway.

Ms. Aniston made a sneaky entrance into the Staples Center for The Police concert in L.A. Wednesday evening, somehow keeping her face hidden from cameras as she rushed in -- every little thing she does is magic!

Dustin Hoffman started singing a rather appropriate song to the snapping paps on his way in -- "Don't Stand So Close to Me" -- and even promised our cameraman a Police CD on his way out ... our photog is still waiting. Also at the concert were Jeremy Piven, autograph-happy Adam Sandler, Lou Diamond Phillips, Jamie Lee Curtis and No Doubt bassist Tony Kanal.

TMZ even caught Sting at The Edison for an after-concert party, throwing a wave to the camera on his way out of the bash.

All this and more in today's "you have to turn on the red light" edition of Star Catcher.

Sting hit the club scene in Las Vegas over the weekend after performing with "The Police," but insiders say the the real party was his two daughters.

After their concert at MGM Grand, Sting and The Police hit up JET nightclub at the Mirage, where their party took over the club's raised stage/VIP area. Sources inside the club tell TMZ that Sting, wife Trudie Styler and two of his daughters, Fuchsia and Brigitte, partied like ... well, rock stars. A TMZ spy tells us, "Sting and his wife danced like a couple in love, never letting go of each other's hands, but his two daughters danced wildly enough to make Paris and Nicky jealous."

The word is that after her jail stint, Paris is going to slow down her party train. Let's hope these celeb sisters jump on!

Rumors of Nicole Richie's pregnancy have been swirling all week. Now sources are saying the slim "Simple Life" star is engaged, too. She (with rocker boyfriend Joel Madden in tow) turned up a Center Dance Arts benefit at the Beverly Hotel sporting a ginormous diamond engagement ring, according to the New York Post. In addition to the ring signals, Richie and Madden passed on the alcoholic beverages. Could it be because Richie's trying not to pull a Lohan, or is it because she's now eating and drinking for two?

Ellen: Rosie Should Have Won

Ellen DeGeneres cleaned up at last night's Daytime Emmy Awards, picking up the award for Best Talk Show Host, but she gave a shout out to some of her competition. From the podium, Ellen told the audience that "View" cast off Rosie O'Donnell should have won! "I liked what she did. This was the year she should have won. I wanted to acknowledge Rosie because she has done a lot. ... I don't know who should replace her, but I don't think it should be Paris Hilton. That would not work," she said. Retiring "Price is Right" host Bob Barker also gave props to Rosie and said he thought she'd be a great replacement for him. "There's no doubt in my mind she could do the show. Now, whether they want a lady host, I don't know."

Rod Weds ... Again

So long Maggie May! Rocker Rod Stewart and model Penny Lancaster wed in Italy today, with family and friends standing by. The spiky-haired singer managed to find another blonde bombshell -- his third -- to wed. He and Lancaster, his girlfriend of seven years, said their "I dos" in a 17th century villa outside the coastal Italian town of Portofino, according to People magazine. That's amore!

Party Favors ... Sting Is a Playboy ...

On Thursday, Sting and a dozen of his closest pals, including comedian David Spade (?!) hit up the Playboy Club at the Palms Casino Resort. They then headed to Moon nightclub before finishing up back at the Playboy Club ...

Some stars look like they've been scared out of their wits, or filled with spackling and putty. But not this beautiful bunch!

TMZ has pumped up a gallery of some well preserved stars, with their ages. Have they had some repaving done? You decide!
