Katie HolmesCruise 'So Proud' of Holmes on Broadway...
Katie Holmes was met by 100 anti-Scientology demonstrators ahead of her preview Broadway performance of All My Sons.
The actress - who is married to Scientologist Tom Cruise - arrived at New York's Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre on Thursday night to chants of "Scientology kills!"
But that didn't stop her husband, Tom Cruise, from singing her praises. "I'm so proud of her," Cruise told People magazine before the preview. "This means so much to her."

Richie Wants Harlow to 'Experience Life'...

Rodriguez Divorce Finalized...Alex Rodriguez
New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez has divorced his wife - just two months after he was accused of having an extra marital affair with Madonna.
Rodriguez's wife Cynthia filed for divorce in July following ongoing speculation the New York Yankees star was secretly dating the pop superstar. Both denied the allegations.
Cynthia blamed her husband's "long period of infidelity" for wrecking their marriage, and accused him of "emotionally abandoning" her and their children.

Representative Slams Pitt & Jolie Split Rumors...
A representative for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie has hit out at online rumors the Hollywood supercouple had split.
Internet gossips were sent into a spin earlier this week, speculating that the superstar pair had decided to end their relationship.
The couple has been together since Pitt's divorce from former Friends star Jennifer Aniston was finalized in 2005. They have five children together - adopted kids Maddox, seven; Pax, four, and Zahara, three; as well as biological children, Shiloh, two, and newborn twins Vivienne Marcheline and Knox Leon.
Since the birth of the twins, Jolie has been absent from public life, while Pitt has been seen by himself at several high-profile red carpet events, fueling rumors of a rift between the pair.
However, a spokesperson for the couple has vehemently denied they are having any troubles with their relationship.
The representative tells Entertainment Tonight that the reports are "absolutely not true."

Kidman: Sunday Rose 'Looks Like Keith'...
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban welcomed their first daughter together, Sunday Rose, in July, and Kidman insists that she resembles Urban.
"She looks like Keith. Her hair has a bit of a reddish tinge," the actress revealed.

Timberlake Writing Song for Ellen, Portia...
(UPI) - Pop star Justin Timberlake said he is planning to write a song for his friend Ellen DeGeneres and her new bride Portia De Rossi.
"I actually made them a promise and I'm gonna stick to it," Timberlake told a radio station Thursday.
Asked if there is any truth to rumors his former boy band N*Sync is planning a reunion, Timberlake said: "We haven't talked about it. There's nothing in the works for that."
One artist he may be collaborating with, though, is Beyonce.
"We are still in the process of creating, but we've been in the studio a little bit and just writing and producing some songs for her," he said.

Talk show queen Oprah Winfrey has signed up for a guest spot on TV comedy 30 Rock in a bid to boost the show's ratings.

Alright, so I guess I will comment =D K

About the Katie Holmes thing, I don't see why their religion has anything to do with her as a performer. I mean, no one goes around saying "Well, Spielberg is Jewish, so we should harass him about ET." The fact is, although I do not share their beliefs, I am not going to protest a performance that I am sure she worked really hard on. How lame can ya get? Geeesh!

# JoJo31 said on September 19, 2008 12:58 PM:

Nicole Ritchie, wow, go her! I guess if you are going to grow up with such famous parents, you are bound to be exposed to paparazzi or press at one point or another. I like the fact that she doesn't let her lil one go without life experiences. I don't know what I would do in that situation, but not allowing my kids to be kids would not be at the top of that list.

I think that celebs such as Nicole R, Tori S, etc definitely deserve props for showing off their babies, and letting them enjoy everything, as opposed to keeping them hidden away from everyone and everything! Plus, who doesn't love to see the babies?! hehe

# JoJo31 said on September 19, 2008 01:02 PM:

Alex Rodriguez hrm lol. Typical man! JK. I can't really say he is in the wrong. I really don't know what he was doing behind closed doors. But, I think it should be worded "Rodriguez has been divorced" lol She is the one who filed, and saying that he "emotionally abandoned her and the children" wow.. He cannot be a husband or a father because he was being accused of dating Madonna? lol This sounds like the K FED drama Britney dealt with. I think if a marriage works, it works, if it doesn't get out of it. Looks like it didn't right? lol

# JoJo31 said on September 19, 2008 01:05 PM:

Pitt & Jolie.. wow. I don't like them as a couple really.. I'm an Aniston fan lolol. However, they have a zillion kids, of course she is going to be out of the public eye. Beyond the kids, there is the twins weight to get rid of, and Dad is out working and supporting the family. Let them be geesh people. lol Just bcuz couples aren't joined at the hip doesn't mean they have split. lol

# JoJo31 said on September 19, 2008 01:07 PM:

Congrats to Nicole and Keith. I think it wouldn't matter really which of the parents it resembled, either way it would be gorgeous! Interesting name as well. I love seeing what celebs name their kids. I find their names to be entertaining, but not a road I would consider going down lol

# JoJo31 said on September 19, 2008 01:10 PM:

Tmberlake, wow. This guy gets around! lol Not a bad thing. I think its great he is going to write a new song for Ellen and Wife (I thought it was illegal to get married?) I read that he was going to get back with Britney. That really made me chuckle! I think his best collaboration so far has been with Nelly Furtado and Timbaland (sp?) but, Beyonce could be interesting as well! Wonder if Jay-Z will be involved? Hmm!

# JoJo31 said on September 19, 2008 01:14 PM:

Oprah Oprah Oprah! I guess 30 Rock is banking on the fact that everything she touches turns to gold! Who wouldn't wanna be Oprah? lol That woman has her hands in a bit of everything and fails at nothing! She is definitely an envy of females everywhere!

I haven't ever seen the show 30 Rock, but I love Tina Fey. Guess I will have to look into that! =)

Hmmm... so the booty is up to 8 cents with this remark? Count me in young Disher.

R!

Ahoy there! Today was especially good considering it's Friday, but also PAYDAY! Woot! I am glad the work week is over finally! It felt like it was goinbg to go foever! But on to what was posted here....

I'm glad Katie was finally welcomed by the Scientology crew, as it is known she was not as accepted before.

I heard the news about Nicole Richie's daughter...Some parent's don't learn as fast. Paparazzi will just torment the child into a mental facility if they start this early.

As for the news of a split between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie..I still wonder why a person in a marriage cannot be seen by him/her self without the allegations that they are splitting up. IF Jolie wants to stay home with the twins (new Mom) and Pitt is at a red carpet event, the media needs to respect their wishes and leave them alone. Lies can only create bad reputations.

Love the keyboard.  :)

Happy Birthday!!!!!

# unruli1 said on September 20, 2008 09:28 PM:

Hmm, that is a funny picture of Katie Holmes. And we really need a lot more comments if we are going to make it to 500.

# unruli1 said on September 20, 2008 09:29 PM:

I had never seen 30 Rock before, but recently watched it on an airplane, it was pretty funny. Tina Fey is hilarious.

# unruli1 said on September 20, 2008 09:31 PM:

Sunday Rose Urban is a pretty cool name, I guess. Not as strange as some recent celebrity baby names, and if she hates it some day she could always go by Rose.

Shawn- I agree with most of what you said, except the part about Nicole Ritchie's little girl. I think bringing her up around it will make her more able to deal with it later on in life. Then there won't be the issues of being surprised when she gets a little older. Plus, I have noticed, the ones who don't hide their babies tend to get much less bothered with it than those who do. There in lies the real problems. The one's who try to worm their way to the nursery windows! Creepy peoples..

JoJo- I guess I should clarify what I said. I do agree that exposure is always good when it comes to children. If they don't know what it is or how it happens on a daily basis, then the kids will not be as receptive to it later on in life. I'm just stating that exposure to the Paparazzi on a level that they are all the time, is a bit overwhelming for a new baby. Sure they love to see babies, I do too. But, at the same time, a little privacy is needed. I just hope that she can make the right decisions.
