This morning I spent over an hour working on your request.  I came away 
with the belief there was not a Celebrities CD for sale, per se.  I 
found several sites that had celebrity photos for sale.  

I think your best approach is to seek the pictures you want.  You can 
find a picture of most any celebrity on the WWW just from looking.

To example sources are the following Yahoo page and a photo search 
engine such as that found at the Lycos site:

http://dir.yahoo.com/Society_and_Culture/People/

See the link "Celebrities" among other links you might wish to pursue.

That might lead you to the type service you seek, but I am not sure 
without checking into a great many sites.  I'll let you do that.

You can go to a search site such as Lycos RichMedia search and enter a 
name to bring up locations of their photos:

http://richmedia.lycos.com/

Just set the search to Pictures.

I found several rinky dink celebrity photo sites that have limited 
number of celebrities.  Nothing on the scale to which you seek.

Another idea for photos of political and government men and women are 
to check the archives of news services.  For example, the Yahoo News 
site has a link to their Photo Gallery of photos that match today's 
news.  You can often pick up good photos of politicians and leaders.

http://dailynews.yahoo.com/

Look at the left menu...under many of the headings is a link to 
photos...

The following article can give you some leads:

Corel has several image galleries for sale on CD-ROM, but I do not 
readily see one of them that just offers pictures of celebrities.  
There is a reference and link to Corel in the above article.

That is about all the time I have to spend on this.  I hope this gives 
you some help.
