Quote of the Day
"She's going to be onstage, she's doing All My Sons on Broadway. I've got some things planned tonight, I've been kind of surprising her throughout the week with things . . . I like romance, so you've got to think about these things, you've got to know the right thing and pay attention throughout the year. Know your lady — the flowers, what kind she likes." - Tom Cruise on wife Katie Holmes's 30th bday!
The Flag Waved And The Stars Were A Hoppin'
From Suri's patriotic headband and Nicole's Malibu beach outing to Jenny and Jim's swimsuit switcharoo and Christie's reunion with her (ex) piano man, the stars were out and about this holiday weekend.

A Night At The Met
So, last night, major happenings in NYC! The Costume Institute Gala brought out many an A-lister to The Met and I just happened to be eyeing the red carpet as the stars were arriving. And by happened to be there, I mean I walked by on my way home and was across the street, stuck behind paparazzi and other ecstatic, not to mention screaming and waving (yes I waved) fans like myself. Although I didn't get a chance to see my love George Clooney (so upset!), I did show up just in time to catch a glimpse of actual superheroes welcoming guests at the bottom of The Met stairs, Mr. Big, Jason Lewis (hard to believe, but even more good-looking in person) the Beckhams, Tom and Katie, J.Lo, MKO (oh sorry, aka my abbreviation for Mary-Kate Olsen, who I'm sure just loved hearing my shout out to her and her sister), Mr. Lagerfeld himself, Blake Lively (so excited to see Serena considering I was missing Monday's ep. of Gossip Girl to star gaze), Valentino, Bonjovi, Eva Longoria and the list goes on.Nicest/biggest smiles/longest waves to the crowd - J.Lo, Valentino and Tom Cruise (maybe it was just an act considering all of his bad publicity lately, but he did look genuinely nice)
Celeb who I wish I could have seen turn around - David Beckham (A bus decided to block my view, just as his gorgeousness turned toward the crowd)
Biggest undercover entrance - Karl Lagerfeld
Most surprising duo - Vogue's Andre Leon Talley, arriving toward the end, with Venus Williams at his side.
Best dressed - A tie between Katie Holmes and Eva Longoria
The only good picture I was able to capture - J.Lo and Marc Anthony
My list of who I saw...yes, I know I'm a nerd, but a celeb-obsessed nerd, so much cooler!
From Scarlett's engagment surprise and Katie's blue heels, to Gisele's arm candy and Victoria's choice of dress, here are a few other snapshots of the celebs at the Superheroes: Fiction and Fantasy gala hosted by Giorgio Armani, George Clooney, Julia Roberts and Anna Wintour.

Katie says Nicole's pregnancy is "wonderful"
Tom Cruise escorted Katie Holmes – in a dazzling strapless Armani dress – to her premiere, but made sure not to steal the spotlight from his wife. Instead he let her work the press solo while he walked across the street to sign autographs and take photos with fans. The actor was similarly supportive during the making of Mad Money, Holmes said. "Having [20-month-old daughter] Suri and Tom [on set] was wonderful," she added. "You think you love to do something and then you have the people you love there. It makes it a billion times better and you didn't realize you were missing that before. It's like 'Oh my God, life can be this good.'" Katie Holmes only had kind wishes for Nicole Kidman. "I'm so happy for her," Holmes, 29, says of Kidman's pregnancy news. "It's wonderful." Kidman, 40, confirmed earlier this week that she and husband Keith Urban are expecting their first child together. The actress has two adopted children – Connor, 12, and Isabella, 15 – with ex-husband Tom Cruise.Tom's kids call Katie "Mom"
Katie Holmes gushes that husband Tom Cruise is a "great father and husband" and says his two children with ex-wife Nicole Kidman are "incredible, really smart and kind." "They call me 'Mom'," Holmes says in this week's Parade Magazine of Cruise's first two children, Isabella, who turns 15 this month, and Connor, 12. (Ouch - their mom Nicole Kidman recently revealed that they don't even call her mom.) The 29-year-old actress says she's looking forward to spending the holidays cooking and skiing in Telluride, Colo., with Cruise, their baby daughter Suri, and both sides of the big family. "Last year was Suri's first Christmas. It was so spectacular to share the holidays with her," she says. "It really meant the world to me. To be able to create a tradition for your children is one of the best gifts you can have." Her one-year marriage to Cruise, she says, is another gift. "Oh, we have so much fun," she says. "Tom has introduced me to so many new experiences. I have done things I never thought I would do, like climbing mountains and flying in the P-51. That's what is so inspiring about being with him – constant thrills and joy." After taking a two-year hiatus from her acting career, Holmes stars in the upcoming film Mad Money with Diane Keaton and Queen Latifah. She says the three of them had a blast: "We got our morning female talk in the trailer every day." She tells Parade that Tom was very excited for her to do the movie, and that he loved hearing all the stories. He has a great understanding of "the female bond" because he has three sisters, she says. "He was raised by a single mother and has two daughters," she explains.Tom & Katie love the Spice Girls
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have found one way to spice up their marriage – turning out for a second Spice Girls show, this one Sunday night in Las Vegas. "They can't seem to get enough of our girls!" the band wrote on their website on Monday. Last Thursday, Tomkat, who are friends with Posh Spice (Victoria Beckham), watched the reunited British divas' concert at L.A.'s Staples Center. They were spotted in a private box with daughter Suri, Victoria's husband David Beckham, and the Beckhams' sons. Three nights later, the Cruises were at Las Vegas' Mandalay Bay Hotel, where David Beckham joined them in their VIP skybox. After the show, the two couples feasted on stone crab and Kobe beef at SW Steakhouse at the Wynn Hotel. "They were having an absolute blast," a witness reports.source
TomKat check out Spice Girls
The Spice Girls had some surprise visitors at rehearsals in LA recently when Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes along with baby Suri stopped by to wish them luck for the forthcoming tour. Cruise and Holmes enjoyed an impromptu audience with the girls and were treated to an exclusive performance, while Suri danced along to the music. "David and I are great friends with Tom and Katie," Victoria Beckham said afterwards. "It was lovely of them to come down to rehearsals, a really nice surprise. Katie has told me before that she used to be a big Spice fan so it was great for her to meet the girls." The Spice Girls reunion tour kicks of in Vancouver on December 2.Tom Cruise to play Hef?
There could be an unusual role in Tom Cruise's future - Playboy founder Hugh Hefner. According to the Palm Beach Post, the 45-year-old star of Misson: Impossible and the upcoming Valkyrie is now eyeing the role of the sexual revolutionary in a biopic set to start filming next year. X-Men director Brett Ratner landed the flick after Oliver Stone lost it and has sent the script to Cruise. Word is that Cruise is tickled by the project, although no decision has been made. "A lot of people consider Tom for a lot of roles," a Cruise publicist said. Ewwwwwwwww. Let's hope this is just a rumor.source
Suri's fancy tea party
The tradition for runners the day before a big race is to have a pasta dinner. But last Saturday, marathoner Katie Holmes was focused on throwing a tea party for her 18-month-old daughter Suri. Holmes and husband Tom Cruise held the party inside the Carlyle Hotel's Bemelman's Bar, which is decorated with artwork from the Madeline series of children's books. From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., about 10 kids and 15 adults enjoyed mini burgers, chicken fingers, mac and cheese, french fries, cookies, and strawberries, and danced to kids' songs played on the piano. "Suri and her friends had a Madeline tea," an observer said, and she was "running around and dancing and playing with friends."Katie "strong, gracious," says Tom
With an 18-month-old daughter, a young marriage, and responsibility for a major movie studio, Tom Cruise isn't getting his beauty sleep. "Just like everybody else, you just work it out," Cruise tells Entertainment Tonight about his hectic schedule in an interview airing Thursday, according to the Associated Press. "We've gotten pretty good at organizing everything. I don't sleep much anyway." Cruise, 45, marks two one-year anniversaries this month: his marriage to Katie Holmes, and the deal that put him and producing partner Paula Wagner in charge of United Artists studios. Family life with Holmes, 28, and daughter Suri is "all very good, all very lovely," he says. "I have a lot of respect for [Katie] as an artist, as a woman. She's a very strong, gracious woman. She's very funny, a great comedian." The UA job, on the other hand, has him feeling like a student again. It's "kind of like film school," he says, "like a dorm with all hands on deck. We're all very supportive and very honest." Cruise admits he'd eventually like to try his hand at directing. "I will one day," he says. "I've always wanted to. I've been offered things to direct but have to find the right piece." As for his current sleep deprivation, Cruise looks on the bright side. At least it's not due to anxiety, as it was in his younger days. He recalls, "I remember lying in bed at 18 going, 'Man, I just really hope I don't get fired.'"Tom defends controversial role
Tom Cruise has broken his silence and is defending his controversial role as the German colonel famous for a failed attempt to kill Adolf Hitler. "All I can say is, 'Save your comments until you see the movie,'" Cruise told a German weekly regarding the German politicians and media who have attacked his religious beliefs and his decision to play one of Germany's greatest heroes in the movie Valkyrie. "I want to think positive and concentrate on the film. I carry a great responsibility to the Germans, for whom a man like Stauffenberg means so much," Cruise said. "And I feel this responsibility to the man himself. The more I learn about him, the greater my respect and admiration of him." Cruise added that when director Bryan Singer approached him about the role, he tossed a script on his desk with a picture of Stauffenberg on the cover. Says Cruise, "Intuitively I saw a similarity in the profile of this man and myself. Naturally that's something that makes an actor curious." Cruise says he enjoys living in Berlin with Katie Holmes and their daughter Suri: "To my great delight I've discovered that my family and I can walk in the park at night and it's not dangerous."Tom Cruise banned from filming in Germany
Germany has barred Tom Cruise and the producers of Valkyrie, a movie about a plot to kill Adolf Hitler from filming scenes at German military sites because of Cruise's beliefs in Scientology. The German government does not recognize the Church of Scientology as a church, claiming it masquerades as a religion to make money. Cruise is set to play real life colonel Claus con Stauffenberg, who led an unsuccessful attempt to assassinate Hitler with a bomb in his briefcase in July, 1944. A spokesperson for Germany's Ministry of Defense said the producers "will not be allowed to film at German military sites if Count Stauffenberg is played by Tom Cruise, who has publicly professed to being a member of the Scientology cult... In general, the [German military] has a special interest in the serious and authentic portrayal of the events of July 20, 1944 and Stauffenberg's person."Tom to preside over Scientology wedding?
Tom Cruise has reached the highest level in Scientology, referred to as "clear," and reportedly may perform a wedding ceremony for his friend, Australian heir James Packer. According to Women's Wear Daily, Packer is one of the Church of Scientology's richest benefactors after inheriting $6.5 billion from his father last year. A mystery guest, believed to be Packer, has booked the entire Grand Hotel du Cap-Ferrat and the Hotel du Cap-Eden Roc, presumably for guest of his nuptials, set to take place on Wednesday on France's Cote d'Azur.source
Tom plunks down $35 mil for new house
Tom Cruise has bought a seven-bedroom Beverly Hills estate for an estimated $35 million. According to insiders, the 70-year-old home was not actually up for sale when the War of the Worlds star made his offer. The new pad will replace the Beverly Hills home Cruise has been renting for the past four years, and will house wife Katie Holmes, children Suri, Connor, and Isabella, as well as his sister and her family and his mom.Jenna Elfman defends TomKat
Scientologist actress Jenna Elfman is defending Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes's relationship amid reports that the couple's five-month marriage is not a happy one. "Honestly, they're happy," says the pregnant actress. "They have a great life and they love each other. For some reason, the media cannot experience that. They must put in things other than the simplicity of it." Elfman says recent tabloid stories that Cruise controls Holmes and forced her into Scientology are definitely false. "It's totally irrelevant, because it's so absolutely not that," she says. "It's hard to give a detailed explanation on something that simple. Honestly, do any of you have a great boyfriend or girlfriend? It's not a big deal, right? You have fun hanging out, and you like talking and sharing your ideas. It's exciting. That's their relationship."source
TomKat host Scientology fundraiser
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes rolled into NYC last night to host a $6,250-a-head fundraiser for his controversial 9/11 detoxification program. Cruise is co-founder of the New York Rescue Workers Detoxification Project, based (of course) on principles of Scientology. The free treatment involves large doses of vitamins, dietary changes and regular trips to the sauna. Despite NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg's denouncement of the program as "not science" on Wednesday, Cruise received plenty of approval for the project. "He said how grateful he was to everyone for supporting the project," the president of NYC's paramedics and EMT union said of Cruise. "He took time out to speak to every person. It took him an hour to get through the hallway. He was talking to everyone. It was genuine, nothing phony about it."
Suri's first birthday
Happy birthday, Suri Cruise! The adorable celebrity offspring of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes turns one today. Reps for the couple would not release details of Suri's birthday celebrations, but she is believed joining mom in Shreveport, Louisiana, where Holmes is filming Mad Money with Queen Latifah and Diane Keaton.Woman arrested outside Tom and Katie's house
A woman was arrested in front of Tom Cruise's Beverly Hills estate. The 32-year-old transient was arrested for receiving stolen property and violating a court order, though the terms of that order are unclear. The woman is currently being held on $45,000 bail in a Beverly Hills jail. The same woman was ordered to stay 500 feet away from actor John Cusack late last year after Cusack claimed she showed "an unusual interest by stalking, throwing a long letter of interest over my fence in bags with rocks and screwdrivers inside."Family concerned over Cruise's religion
The grandson of German officer Claus Schenk Graf Von Stauffenberg has expressed his family's concerns about plans for Tom Cruise to play his grandfather in an upcoming film about the would-be assassin's attempt to kill Adolph Hitler. "I have nothing against him and can even separate his work from his beliefs in Scientology," said Stauffenberg's grandson. "But I and other family members are worried that the picture will be financed by the sect and be used to get across its propaganda. Unfortunately the family Stauffenberg can do nothing about this. My grandfather is a figure from history."source
Tom to star in World War II drama
Tom Cruise has signed on to star in a war drama based on a true story about an attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler at the height of the second world war. Cruise was originally slated to produce the film, but after a number of meetings was offered the lead role. "After reading the script, Tom and I knew immediately that this was a film that we had to make," Cruise's production partner said. "As an added bonus, because of [director] Bryan Singer's involvement and Tom's admiration for him as a filmmaker, as well as the excellence of the script, the project attracted Tom as an actor. I cannot think of a more perfect combination of creative elements for our second production." Does this woman's over-the-top gushing make anyone else want to vomit?source
