New Annie Leibovitz Dream Portraits, Disneyland Paris Profits Up, Disney Co. takes a Bigger Stake in Hong Kong Disneyland

Annie Leibovitz has sent out the third in her series of Dream Portraits. This series features Whoopie Goldberg as the Genie in Aladin, Jennifer Lopez and hubby Marc Anthony as Jasmine and Aladdin. Also featured are Gisele Bundchen as Wendy Darling, Mikhail Baryshnikov as Peter Pan and Tina Fey as Tinker Bell and Jessica Biel as Pocahontas.

In park news: Disneyland Paris has shown a 20% jump in first quarter revenues. Times Online is reporting that some of this jump is due to President Sarkozy visiting DP as the place to "go public" with his love for Carla Bruni, now his wife.

At Hong Kong Disneyland, the Walt Disney Co. will be making a bigger investment and ownership in the park. They will now have a 43% stake in the park which it co-owns with the Hong Kong government.
