It was a week of parties in Tinseltown this week with everything from babies to (appropriately) birthdays being celebrated. Stars dressed up in their very finest million dollar dresses, suits, and jewelry to attend some of the very classiest, and not so classy, affairs. And as always, the paparazzi were there to catch all of it! Here were the hot spots in Hollywood this week.

Of the two most popular baby showers this week, there was the shower for Jamie Lynn Spears. Sister Britney flew in for it and even though there were still those that were still trying to find something wrong with Britney, really the worse thing she did was smoke. It was nice that she was able to make it to celebrate the coming of her sister’s child. Jamie Lynn looked very happy too!

But that wasn’t the only baby shower this week. Tori Spelling also had a baby shower to prepare for welcoming her second little one. I’m sorry but aren’t you only supposed to have a baby shower for your first? Isn’t it considered a cash grab after that point?

And George Clooney was beaming with girlfriend Sarah Larson on his arm at the birthday party that Giorgio Armani threw for him. But they weren’t the only power couple there. Others included Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes as well as Victoria and David Beckham.

This is why I watch interviews with celebrities that I’m not so fond of. Tom Cruise appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show yesterday. Oprah interviewed him in his home in Telluride, Colorado which Oprah said was,

“just so normal!”

Well, not exactly. I don’t believe a typical home includes a kitchen the size of a penthouse and leather-bound scripts just lying around. Normal, no. Well deserved? Probably.

Oprah launched right in, starting with Tom’s crazy couch jump three years ago. I’ve never understood the huge debacle over this myself but Tom says,

“I just felt that way, and I feel that way about her (Katie.). I can’t even articulate it, to be honest,” he adds. “That feeling, that connection. Just who she is and what she means to me.”

Oprah then moved in to the more serious issues, which have been burning for three years. His interview with Matt Lauer, his stance on Brooke Shields taking antidepressants for postpartum, and whether or not the rumors about his marriage ending are true. On conventional medicine and therapy Tom said,

“I was feeling pressed in the interview with Matt Lauer,” Cruise says. “For me, my issue was really about child drugging. It’s not like it is today, like people are really kind of openly talking about this. Of course I could have handled it better. Even the day of that interview, I knew I could have handled it better. It’s really the parent’s decision and parent’s should make that decision.”

When asked about the rumors surrounding his marriage, Tom said,

“It’s ridiculous. I mean, it’s laughable to me.”

Tom seemed to be at peace and want to clear a few things up. Whether it was his PR rep talking or whether Tom has really seen that he hasn’t always presented himself properly, I don’t know. But I don’t hate him like I once did and it will be good to watch Part 2 of the interview on Monday.

It seems that all the rumors of a supposed divorce have just been too much for Tom Cruise and he has sent his wife, Katie Holmes, off to a Scientology boot camp so that she can become brainwashed into being a better wife. Of course, Tom or the other believers don’t call it that but that’s pretty much what it is. From Glam Canada,

“Star Magazine claims Katie Holmes recently spent 3 days at Gold Base, the Scientology compound in Hemet, CA for being a misbehaving wife. Tom supposedly banished Katie to the compound, because she wanted to go to NYC by herself and star on Broadway. After two failed marriages Cruise went to a lot of trouble to find the perfect Scientology wife, and he’s not about to let her start thinking for herself now, the story basically goes! The source said the boot camp puts the camper through a battery of tests and purification:

“various tests, confession sessions, tons of reading and physically challenging purification processes. Tom insists that auditing and purification practices are incredibly beneficial to Scientologists at all levels.”

I certainly hope that Katie is too smart to put up with all of that but one never knows once what can happen once you’ve fallen into a certain belief system. Tom has come under a lot of fire for his belief in Scientology but this one’s going to be the hardest to defend, I think. Hopefully it’s not actually true and Katie just went away to take a break from everything she’s been going through recently.

Tom Cruise is set to appear on The Oprah Winfrey show tomorrow, May 2, to celebrate his twenty-five years in film. Oprah is prepared to ask him the tough questions including his public disgust of Brooke Shields, what happened with Matt Lauer on the Today show and probably, his current relationship with Katie. Should be a good one.

Okay well not really since Suri Cruise is only two years old but you would think that was the case from looking at the celebration that took place. Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise spent a whopping $100,000 on the little girl’s birthday, where the theme was butterflies, one of Suri’s favorite things. From Celebrity Baby Scoop,

“Suri adores butterflies. Absolutely no expense was spared to make Suri’s birthday the best day of her life.” [Who Attended] “It was immediate family and their closest friends only. There were no celebrities invited to the daytime bash.

All of the cakes were Italian-wedding flavoured, but specifically made without the usual rum. Obviously, they wanted them non-alcoholic since Suri is only two.”

It was a great party,” says an attendee. “Suri was in a really great mood and loved having all the balloons around.” Certainly, when it comes to celebrating his little girl’s big day, money is no object for Tom Cruise! “

So what was the money spent on? Her four-tiered cake cost $5,000 alone and each guest got their own mini cake. Well, I guess that’s a necessity. And because they just didn’t have enough cake hanging around, there were also $230 worth of cupcakes on hand. I guess someone also has a thing for flowers since $17,000 worth of them were also at the scene.

But the big day wasn’t enough for parents Katie and Tom. They also hosted a $45,000 dinner later in the evening for their closest friends that included Jenny McCarthy, Jim Carrey, Will Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith, Eva Longoria Parker, and Victoria and David Beckham.

I really do wonder what her wedding will be like or for that matter, her third birthday.

Victoria Beckham and Katie Holmes became BFFs when Beckham first moved to Los Angeles. There have been recent reports that the duo had called the friendship quits and that Holmes and Beckham were very busy these days hurling insults at each other. The rumours were sparked even more when stories came out that Holmes’ marriage to Tom Cruise was on the rocks. These reports suggested that he no longer wanted his wife hanging out with the former Spice Girl. Now, it seems as though all of the rumours are unfounded. Well, those involving Katie and Victoria, anyway. From Digital Spy,

“Victoria Beckham has denied that she has fallen out with actress Katie Holmes.

Tom Cruise’s wife missed Beckham’s 34th birthday celebrations last week, while US reports claimed the pair ignored each other when they were eating in the same restaurant recently.

However, a spokesperson for the Spice Girl insisted there was no rift and revealed that Beckham and Holmes had eaten out together with their partners on Friday.

They said: “They all had a drink together, and Tom and Katie and David and Victoria were all out for dinner together last Friday.”

I hope for Katie’s sake that these two are still hanging out on the Hills together. It sounds like Katie could use a friend these days.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are having trouble and lots of it. It seems that when they were fighting over how to spend their daughter, Suri’s birthday party a few weeks ago, that was just the tip of the iceberg. Tom Cruise seems to be very controlling over Katie, wanting to be with her every minute and it only gets worse when it comes to Suri, who turns two today.

Katie has had enough and wants to have a trial separation from hubby Tom. She is going to New York to play a role on Broadway and she wants to bring little Suri along with her. Tom just will not hear of it saying that if she wants to go to New York, they will all go. From Star,

“She desperately needs to be on her own for a while, but there’s no way Tom is going to let her take Suri away,” an insider tells Star. “There’s no way he’ll allow it. He just doesn’t want Katie — or Suri — out of his sight for long. He told her that if she goes to New York, fine, but he goes with her.”

Further, the couple’s tug of war over their daughter has intensified as of late. “Tom wants to call all the shots when it comes to Suri,” says an insider. “He has a lot of rules, and there’s conflict.” With all this drama going on with her parents, adorable little Suri — who turns 2 on April 18 — seems to be getting lost in the shuffle and spends much of her time with nannies instead of her parents. “She gets a lot of attention,” notes another source. “But every child wants to be with their parents — there is no substitute.”

Does this surprise anyone? Their whirlwind romance was very romantic in the beginning but you have to wonder how much their heads are in it when people start jumping on couches. And let’s face it, Tom Cruise is just plain weird. With the scientology and horrifying public remarks about other celebrities such as Brooke Shields, is anyone really surprised to find out that he’s kind of a jerk?

We see it all the time and although these stars may be going through heartache, we just can’t wait to sink our teeth into the story of their horrendous breakup. There have been several stories emerging this past week about celebrity breakups and here are just a few.

Carrie Underwood, who really is one of my faves, has broken up with her boyfriend Chace Crawford and the couple have only been official since October. Reportedly things were going well, Carrie was meeting Chace’s parents and everything seemed to be just ducky. As no one involved has made comment yet, the reason is yet unknown but there definitely is more to this story!

Josh Hartnett and Helena Christensen have also decided to go their separate ways since getting cozy with each other last summer. The reason here? They were just no longer in love. Once again, there has to be more to the story than that!

And very sadly, Marsha Garces Williams, the wife of Robin Williams has filed for divorce. I guess that’s what you get after 19 years of marriage. The two have a daughter, Zelda, and a son, Cody. Irreconcilable differences is the official reasoning here.

And although they haven’t officially broken up yet, the marriage between Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes could be in trouble. First they were fighting over their daughte, Suri’s birthday party and now sources report that Katie is exhausted by Tom and that she spends most of her day trying to stay awake. We’ll keep on the watch but it may not be long before these two find themselves with the single status in Hollywood.

The paparrazi were in full force yesterday to watch Katie Holmes exit one of her favourite places to dine in Los Angeles, Joan’s on Third. Reports from different sources say that she has reverted to her girl-next-door look but did she ever really leave it behind? She has been dressing and acting much more mature since having baby Suri with husband Tom Cruise but I never really thought her face changed.

But anyhoo, there is more happening with this couple than just fresh faces and lunches at hot spots. As China Daily reports,

“Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are reportedly in dispute over how to celebrate daughter Suri’s second birthday, according to the National Enquirer.

Cruise is allegedly planning to spend $500,000 on a lavish birthday party but Holmes believes it may be too extravagant.

Tom is out to make Suri’s second birthday a spectacle like no other child has ever had,” a source is quoted as saying.

The insider added: “Katie believes wholeheartedly it would set a bad example. She doesn’t want her daughter to be a spoiled Beverly Hills rich kid who expects the biggest and the best for the rest of her life… She’s all for a nice party, but nothing ostentatious.”

I have to say that I agree with Katie on this one. There is little that it more obnoxious than celebrities throwing their money around by spending $100,000 on Cirque de Soleil acrobats just so they can attend your daughter’s birthday party. Maybe they could just get together with a bunch of their other cult-like scientologists and chant and discuss the evils of Western medicine. Or do whatever else it is they do.

Line up all of the women celebrities currently wandering around Hollywood and ask the one’s that aren’t pregnant to step forward. You’ll see about three. Okay, there are at least five that are denying pregnancy rumours. Since the list of confirmed pregnancies is just too long, here are stars that aren’t pregnant. Or at least, stars that aren’t yet willing to share.

Katie Holmes has denied rumours that she and hubby Tom Cruise are expecting a sibling for Surie.

Nelly Furtado’s reps have also denied that she is expecting. There’s questions here though as people are still saying that she is preggers, and just not telling us.  

 And Eva Longaria says that if she has a bulge (which I can’t see) it’s due to,

“cooking and eating, cooking and eating. I keep telling everyone that I’ve gained 10 pounds just being on strike.”

Uma Therman claims that she does want to have children but she’s not pregnant yet. I guess we’ll need to keep our eyes peeled.

And lastly, Canadian pop star Avril Lavigne has also denied rumours that she and Sum 41 husband, Deryck Whibley are going to have a baby anytime soon.

TMZ has posed a very interesting question. For ten years, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman were married, and at no point have a child together. So what’s the deal with them now? Nicole’s pregnant, and Tom has a kid. From TMZ:

“One day after revealing that she is pregnant with her second husband’s child, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban were snapped having lunch in Paddington, Australia.

Nicole’s shirt and jacket hid any noticeable baby signs.

So let’s review. Nicole and Tom didn’t get pregnant during their 10 year run. Some speculated Tom was firing blanks, but now he’s had a kid. Some thought she couldn’t get pregnant but now she is. So what was the deal? Sounds like a good one for user comments.”

Indeed it does. One user comment reflected my suspicions, that Suri isn’t Tom’s kid. In my personal opinion, I think Suri may possibly be the love child of Katie Holmes and an extra-terrestrial life form, named Bob.

Although, according to Andrew Morton, the controversial biography who claims in his new book, Tom Cruise: An Unauthorised Biography, that Katie Holmes was really impregnated by L. Ron Hubbard’s preserved sperm. Ew. From News.Com.Au:

“TOM Cruise is the second-in-command of the Church of Scientology and his daughter, Suri, was conceived using sperm from the dead scientology founder, a new book says.

Biographer Andrew Morton also claims Cruise’s former wife, Nicole Kidman, fears the release of tapes made with Scientologists revealing intimate sexual details.

Cruise has strongly denied the claims and has already instructed lawyers to draw up a $110 million lawsuit against the book’s publisher, St Martin’s Press.

Andrew Morton’s wild claims include that Cruise’s 20-month-old daughter, Suri, was conceived “like Rosemary’s Baby” - with wife Katie Holmes impregnated with the sperm of dead Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard.

Morton also claims that Nicole Kidman was threatened with blackmail by Scientologists as her marriage to the Top Gun star foundered.

The book, due out next Tuesday, may not be published in England because of defamation laws.

Australia’s strong defamation laws mean it will more than likely avoid publication in Australia too. Under the church’s teachings, followers can have life’s problems solved through a system of one-on-one counsellings called “audits”.

Tom Cruise: An Unauthorised Biography claims it was in these audits where Cruise and Kidman revealed intimate aspects of their sex life, which were recorded.

As support, Morton points to a Playboy interview of L. Ron Hubbard’s son Ronald De Wolf, who had fallen out with his father.

“You have complete control of someone if you have every detail of his sex life and fantasy life on record,” he said.

“In Scientology, the focus is on sex. Sex, sex, sex. The first thing we wanted to know about someone we were auditing was his sexual deviations.”

The tapes may stop Kidman from speaking out about her distrust of the religion.

The Aussie actor was allegedly identified by followers as a “potential trouble source”, largely because her father was a psychologist and she had given an interview emphasising her Catholic roots.

Morton claims that after Cruise left Kidman in 2000 she was worried she might not be allowed to see their two adopted children, and received a warning not to speak out against Scientology.

Morton quotes a high-ranking Scientologist as saying they had received a phone call from Kidman’s lawyer, Bill Beslow.

“At this point Nicole hated Scientology but was concerned for the kids,” Morton quotes the source as saying.

“She did not want to ruin her relationship with them. I told the lawyer if she wants to stay with the children she will have to be quiet and not speak out about Scientology.”

Morton claims Kidman was concerned, in particular, about the audit tapes.

Cruise’s lawyer, Bert Fields, has said the star will not be reading the book.

“It’s a boring, poorly researched book by a man who never talked to anyone involved in Tom Cruise’s life or anyone close to him,” he said.

Morton portrays Cruise as a talented actor that became consumed by Scientology after tasting enormous success. He was identified as a big catch by the church and used as a figurehead.

Cruise has since risen to No. 2 in the church, according to Morton, and his next mission is to recruit David and Victoria Beckham.

Morton claims that Scientology leader David Miscavige catered to Cruise’s every whim.

One such incident was Cruise’s fantasy, revealed shortly after he married Kidman, that they run through a meadow of wildflowers together.

Miscavige immediately had a meadow sown near the bungalow Cruise and Kidman were staying at on the church’s Gold Base, 150km from Los Angeles.

“A team of 20 disciples was set to work digging, hoeing and planting wheat grass and wildflower seed near the Cruises‘ bungalow,” Morton told the Mail on Sunday.

Followers have denied it happened, though Morton claims to have several affidavits supporting his claim.

Morton rose to fame when he wrote a controversial biography of Princess Diana that heavily criticised the royal family and was widely panned as fantasy.

However, Diana later revealed that she was the main source throughout the book.

The Herald Sun unsuccessfully sought comment from Kidman’s representatives last night.”

Well. That’s one point of view. Honestly, I wouldn’t be too surprised if it turned out to be true. The following in my opinion, is nothing more than a cult, created by a man who knew he could get away with it because he was a great author. David Koresh was popular for a while too.

…At least on the screen. This should be interesting. Supposedly, in a bio-film about the life of Hugh Hefner, Tom Cruise is set to play the part of the Playboy mogul. In lieu of Tom’s weirdness, and not to mention, his ability, as said in Cele|bitchy, that “he shines in a very specific kind of role… and Hugh Hefner just isn’t that type of character.” I can agree with that. Hugh Hefner demands a certain type of actor for his role, and I really don’t think it’s Tom Cruise. From AZCentral:

“Tom Cruise is set to play Hugh Hefner in a new biopic of the Playboy founder’s life. The 45-year-old actor, who has an 18-month-old daughter Suri with his actress wife Katie Holmes, is hot favorite to portray the 81-year-old lothario in upcoming movie ‘Playboy’ and is reportedly excited about the prospect of bringing Hefner’s “colorful life” to the big screen.

A source close to the actor said: “Tom knows of Hugh’s colorful past and thinks he would be the perfect person to bring it to the big screen. He also thinks the role would be a challenge for him, and would remind people of his versatility as an actor. At the moment people are concentrating on his personal life, and his marriage to Katie - but he wants to remind them that he can act too.”"

I wonder what Katie thinks of her alien husband’s desire to be Hugh Hefner. In my educated, and highly valuable opinion I think Tom either has a secret desire to have a mansion filled with cheap whores, or wants to wear Hugh Hefner’s skin, Body Snatchers style.

I honestly do have to wonder what the hell is wrong with these two individuals. After Katie Holmes ran the New York Marathon, the whole thing, just a couple hours later, she was able to wear open-toed high heel shoes. Tom Cruise was apparently in awe over this. Personally, I think it’s their way of saying, “Look, we’re not aliens! See how open we are about our amazing physical abilities? Would real aliens be that open about being superhuman? We’re normal -and- amazing! But not aliens!” From People:

“Just hours after crossing the finish line in the grueling New York City Marathon, Katie Holmes stepped out again – in black, open-toed heels! – for husband Tom Cruise’s film premiere.

While many other runners would be huddled in bed recovering, Holmes and Cruise walked hand-in-hand into the Museum of Modern Art Sunday night for a screening of his new film Lions for Lambs (directed by Robert Redford and costarring Meryl Streep). When asked about his wife’s resilience, Cruise beamed proudly, telling PEOPLE, “I know, I know. It’s amazing.”

Also on hand were Cruise’s mother and sister and Holmes’s parents. “Isn’t she amazing?” gushed mom Kathy. “She’s such a good girl. We’re so proud [of her].”

Earlier in the day, Holmes, 28, crossed the finish line in a respectable 5:29:58, as Cruise and their daughter Suri, 18 months, cheered from the sidelines.”

The odd, but sweet couple are doing great together, with their kids, and hopefully, will continue to avoid collecting children from third world countries, to start a diabolical legion of tree-huggers.

Tom Cruise reminisces about how spectacular, beautiful, blah blah blah, when he and Katie Holmes got married. UFO’s and little green men came from miles around for the event. I’m surprised the existence of alien, -not necessarily superior, given their social group, –intelligence wasn’t proven at the ceremony. From People:

“As his one-year wedding anniversary approaches, Tom Cruise is reflecting on the day he married Katie Holmes in a castle in Italy.

Asked what stands out in his memory about the wedding last November, Cruise said that watching Holmes become a bride is the most prominent.

“I think every person has it when they look at their bride,” he told Entertainment Tonight on Tuesday at the Rome premiere of his new film Lions for Lambs. “That’s something that I’ll never forget.”

And, despite the frenzy of fans and media surrounding the wedding, which took place at Odescalchi Castle in Lake Bracciano, Italy, Cruise said the day managed to remain “personal.”"

Personal? Yeah, as personal as body snatchers party can be I guess. I wonder what happens when you throw water on them?

Paris Hilton is apparently still shopping around, even though in a previous article, barely a week ago, Paris was running around with a moron from Australia, Tyler Atkins, t-shirt designer and apparently, amateur pharmacist.

Who’s the lucky guy this week? Cisco Adler; sloppy seconds of Mischa Barton, and grunge-o extraordinaire. The guy just looks plain dirty. Cisco and Paris were making out at Guy’s karaoke night on Tuesday. She even gave him a lap dance. And the disgusting display of PDA doesn’t stop there. When Paris wasn’t drooling all over Cisco in the booth, Paris horrified the crowd by “singing”, “Bette Davis Eyes,” followed by a medley of her hit “Stars are Blind.” Well, I think anyone would have to be, to make out with either of those two. Or at least equipped a strong gag reflex, and a heavy duty immune system.

Tom Cruise tries to “dance” with Katie Holmes at Beckham’s Bash.

Beyonce falls down the stairs, but manages to go on lip syncing! Watch the video!

Britney Spears flips out on a photographer on video! Wanna see?

Friend of Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian is trying to keep up with her pal in the skeeze department!

Amy Winehouse acts like a total crackhead in front of audience.

The pregnancy rumours have begun again for Katie Holmes. Katie showed up at the L.A. premier for Hairspray with a clinging black dress on, and what is rumoured to be a new baby bump. I wonder if anyone ever considers whether some of these constantly suspected of pregnancy women just happen to actually have a lower abdomen? This isn’t Katie’s first time around the pregnancy rumour merry-go-round either. No, last month she was seen in Barcelona, with her husband Tom Cruise, in a dress that gave the appearance of a bump, and tongues were set a’wagging, and keyboards click, click, clicked globally, for what was probably a false alarm.

…if she is pregnant, her fetus has one hell of a talent for hiding in her spine.

But, if she is pregnant, her fetus has one hell of a talent for hiding in her spine. The next day she proved any circulated gossip wrong when seen swimming in a black bathing suit belted tightly over a flat midriff. Katie’s agent is denying any rumours of her actual pregnant state, but Katie herself isn’t keeping any secrets about her desire to have more children with her husband, Tom. When asked, her reply was, “Yes, definitely.”

Katie Holmes has made Friday tradition of treating the ‘Mad Money’ cast and crew.

Katie, currently shooting for her latest movie, Mad Money, in Shreveport, La., is ensuring that every member of the crew and her fellow cast, around 200 of them, are well….fed and happy! And how. For the third consecutive Friday, she ordered in a special treat.

Like on cast member told PEOPLE, “We got cupcakes”. “They were good, too.”

This Friday tradition started on April 27, when Holmes, who is co-starring with Queen Latifah, Diane Keaton and Ted Danson in the comedy, treated the entire set to 300 ice cream cones as the temperatures soared to reach highs of 80s.

She followed it up with more than 80 pizzas, flown in from Chicago and baked locally, the next Friday and had them delivered to the set.

“It was a lot of pizza,” one fan says. “We had veggie, sausage, and pepperoni. It was good pizza.”

Tom Cruise and his bride-to-be, Katie Holmes headed to Rome’s town hall with daughter, Suri in tow.

We all know what happens when a woman wins an Oscar..the less successful husband will soon turn to drinking or other women to assuage his ego and the marriage is over in a matter of months or a couple years. (Think Hilary & Chad and Reese & Ryan).

Katie Holmes, has taken notice of the ‘Oscar Curse’, and�apparently wants to be Mrs. Tom Cruise forever, even if it means taking herself out of Oscar contention.

Page Six is reporting that Fox Searchlight Pictures wanted to include, Katie’s name for an Oscar nod�for the movie,�”Thank You for Smoking”, but Holmes �”respectfully declined” the offer.�This is also the movie which Katie Holmes appears nude. Definitely NOT the movie, Tom Cruise wants his new wife to be remembered for.�

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have officially landed…in Rome that is! The couple�arrived at Rome’s Ciampino airport with baby Suri and Tom’s two children in tow. Tom and Kate are set to be married on November 18th….and divorced shortly therafter

If you are a faithful reader of mine..you will know that I have this strange fascination with skinny jeans. I own 3 pairs, all of which look hideous on me, and I have never worn any them. I really want to look good in them. But I don’t. I don’t beat myself up over it (partly because I just had a baby). Not many people can pull them off. Katie Holmes is one of those that cannot…but at least she has the balls confidence to wear them.

But then again..she also has the balls to go out in public with Tom Cruise. Maybe she can pull of anything…
