Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise Don't Let the Weather Rain on Their Parade

Lindsay Miller — Tue, 22 May 2012 13:26:09 PDT

Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise spent a rainy NYC afternoon together yesterday. The mother and daughter held hands as they walked along the city streets and were even spotted breaking out in a playful sprint. When the rain picked up, Suri protected her baby doll from the elements under an umbrella while her mom followed closely behind. Katie and Suri are back in the Big Apple after spending some time in Louisiana recently.

Tom Cruise has been in Baton Rouge filming Oblivion, in which he plays a soldier stuck on Earth following the apocalypse. Audiences will next see the actor take on a more lighthearted role, however, in Rock of Ages. Tom grew out his hair to play an '80s rocker alongside an all-star cast that also includes Mary J. Blige and Alec Baldwin. Tom is one of several major movie stars in this year's Pop 100 Faceoff, so don't forget to cast your vote for a chance at $2,500!

Bikini-Clad Ashley Olsen Makes a Splash in Hawaii

Brittney Stephens — Tue, 22 May 2012 09:39:43 PDT

Ashley Olsen took a dip in the ocean during a recent vacation in Maui, Hawaii. The designer wore black bikini bottoms and a printed top while she smiled and enjoyed herself in the waves. The last time we saw Ashley, she was a little more bundled up to meet her pal Leelee Sobieski for lunch in NYC. Ashley didn't walk the red carpet at this month's Met Gala, but her twin sister, Mary-Kate, attended in a sleek custom-made gown from their line The Row. The duo appeared together on the cover of Elle UK in April, when they discussed their decision to quit acting to focus on their multiple fashion lines.

Jessica Alba Talks Trading Her Sexy Image For Motherhood in Marie Claire

Meghan Rooney — Tue, 15 May 2012 09:51:08 PDT

Jessica Alba shows some skin in a Versus dress on the cover of Marie Claire's June issue, which hits newsstands Tuesday, May 22. The mother of two turned 31 last month and seems to enjoy the juggling act that comes with motherhood and stardom. She recently stepped out in a Michael Kors number at the Met Gala in NYC and mingled with other famous faces at the star-studded White House Correspondents' Dinner in Washington DC. Jessica will also appear in a new film, A.C.O.D., set to be released sometime in 2012. In the magazine, Jessica opens up about her early career image, how she has changed since becoming a mom, and her former sexy self. Here's more from Jessica Alba in Marie Claire:

On her early career image: "I had a show, Fox’s Dark Angel, that premiered when I was 19. And right away, everyone formed a strong opinion about me because of the way I was marketed. I was supposed to be sexy, this tough action girl. That’s what people expected…I felt like I was being objectified, and it made me uncomfortable. I wanted to be chic and elegant!"
On how she has changed since motherhood: "Now that I’m older, I’ve learned how to own it, but I’m still not very overt. There are some women who dress for men. I dress for myself. It took me some time to get here. Being a mom and feeling grown-up have helped. Now if I’m going to wear something short, it has to have a high neck or a little sci-fi toughness to it, an edge."
On her former sexy self: "I like to get positive attention. But if I have a choice between someone noticing in a negative way what I’m wearing and going, What was she thinking? or someone not noticing what I’m wearing, I would rather not make a statement at all and just have a good conversation instead."

What's Your Sign, Beautiful? Gemini (May 21 to June 20)

Jaime Richards — Mon, 21 May 2012 03:32:00 PDT

Gemini isn't just one of the funnest roller coasters ever (Cedar Point for the win), but it also happens to be the third sign of the zodiac. Personality-wise, Geminis are known for their sharp wit and curious natures. And seeing that they're the sign of the twins, Geminis are therefore known for being dual-natured and complex. Think versatility and the ability to change direction to adapt to a wide array of situations. At their worst, Geminis are tense and moody, and at their best, they're lively and charismatic. Famous Geminis include: Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen (naturally), Angelina Jolie, Venus Williams, Zoe Saldana, Courteney Cox, Heidi Klum, Natalie Portman, Ginnifer Goodwin, and Carey Mulligan.

To bring out your inner Gemini beauty: Deck yourself out in colors that are just as bold and bright as you, such as orange and yellow. Your focus area is your hands and arms, so try a fun polish or an oversized perfume ring as an accent. And don't be afraid to create a few paradoxes, pairing the bold with the tame and the muted with the vibrant. To find out more about the Gemini-themed products above, just keep reading.

Jessica Alba Adds Some Glamour to the Business World in a Photo Shoot Celebrating The Honest Company

Rebecca M Gruber — Fri, 18 May 2012 16:51:57 PDT

She's much more than just a pretty face! Jessica Alba knew she was on to something when she couldn't find a cute, affordable, and eco-friendly diaper after Honor Marie, 3½, was born. And it looks like other people are on to her now too. Jessica, through her founding of The Honest Company, was just recognized as one of the 100 most creative people in business by Fast Company magazine. The actress, activist, and mom of two (lil Haven is 9 months old) posed in a beautiful photo shoot for the magazine, both with and without her daughters, and spoke about the inspiration for her latest venture. Among the parts of the interview that didn't make it into the magazine were her desire to shake up kiddie design and the obstacles she's overcome to get this far.

On incorporating modern design elements: Your baby is so cute, and you have to put a diaper on, and all of a sudden, it's like, wait, there's a paper bag on my baby's bottom! So once we got the effectiveness of our diapers down, I was like, "Why not make it cool?" I have tattoos, I have piercings, I grew up on MTV, I am a global citizen, I've been connected to the Internet pretty much my whole life; I feel like there's no company that speaks to me as a modern mom. I wanted to appeal to different types of aesthetics out there. So for boys' diapers - my partners thought I was completely cuckoo bananas - but we have skulls on a diaper, because I'm obsessed with Alexander McQueen and he makes skulls beautiful. And they were like, "Skulls on babies? No way!" And it's been one of our number one sellers, because people even like them on their girls, believe it or not. So we had anchors, as well, for the more traditional mom, and gingham.

On the whirlwind of creating a new company: I've been through lots of trials and tribulations, and I've learned a lot, and I now appreciate the uphill battle and struggle, because it forced me to be more tenacious and more focused and more passionate than I ever imagined that I could have been. I think that was probably the biggest lesson that I've learned.

Keep reading to see the entire photo shoot!

American Idol: Was the Right Person Voted Off?

Maggie Pehanick — Fri, 18 May 2012 07:13:49 PDT

Joshua Ledet has been let go of season 11 of American Idol. I don't know about you, but I just overreacted a little bit. My neighbors might come over and check to make sure if I'm all right after the shriek that I let out when Ryan announced Phillip Phillips would be joining Jessica Sanchez at next week's finale. Admittedly, I haven't been championing Joshua over the past couple weeks, but that's just because I figured the judges were doing it so much that I didn't need to. Apparently the soul singer could have used the extra help.

At least we got a couple performances leading into the elimination. I did a double take when I saw Lisa Marie Presley up on the Idol stage, then another one when Adam Lambert showed up, glowing all kinds of neon. It wasn't a bad show, I'm just surprised at the outcome. So was Steven, who, if you didn't catch his reaction, had an "I'm not impressed" look slapped all over his disapproving face. What do you think - was the right person voted off?

Kate Moss Gets Snap Happy at a Charity Event With Jamie

Brittney Stephens — Wed, 16 May 2012 01:32:34 PDT

Kate Moss made a glamorous entrance at the Marie Curie Cancer Care Fundraiser in London yesterday. She wore a long black gown topped with a fur jacket and was joined on the red carpet by her husband Jamie Hince, who looked sleek in a black suit. The event, which was held at Claridge's hotel, was hosted by socialite Heather Kerzner and included high-profile guests Princess Beatrice, Sarah Ferguson, and The Rolling Stones' bassist Ronnie Wood, who performed on stage.

Kate has also been busy with another UK charity lately. The supermodel recently donated a topless photo of herself to the National Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Children. The organization is planning to auction the photo off this Thursday, along with prints of Christy Turlington, Twiggy, and Florence Welch.
