Suri Cruise flashes photographers a cute smile as mom Katie Holmes carries her securely through the door of their Manhattan apartment on Thursday night.

Like mom Katie, Suri was dressed for her busy day in all neutrals like a true New Yorker–charcoal velvet dress, black leggings and a pair of grey Mary Janes.

However, the 2-year-old fashionista-in-the-making added some extra color to her ensemble painting her nails with glittery light blue polish.

Shia LaBeouf chills out on his day off in Los Angeles on Thursday.

The 22-year-old Transformers star took a ride around his neighborhood on his skateboard while simultaneously gulping down a can of diet green tea.

Sporting a Harley Davidson retro “Superior” t-shirt, Shia looked a little scruffy with his facial hair. He was still wearing a bandage around a few fingers and part of his left hand after having extensive surgery on it over the summer. This is all following his late-night car crash.

I can’t breathe. The Rachel Zoe Project has been renewed by Bravo for a second season, reports the LA Times.

Admittedly, I watched every minute of every episode last season. The reality docudrama series followed celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe, her longtime assistant Taylor Jacobsen and newly hired assistant Brad Goreski.

Production has not yet begun, but new episodes will air in mid-2009. Bravo will also be unveiling other new series. Shut. it. down.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes look positively flawless on split covers of T: The New York Times Style Magazine’s “Holiday/Reinvention” issue. Here are great interview highlights via Us Weekly:

Tom on when Katie confessed to him that she dreamed of marrying him as a little girl: “I said I wouldn’t want to disappoint her. I knew I wanted to marry Kate when I met her.”

Tom on buying Katie an engagement ring shortly after their first date in 2005: “At one point, I thought she was going to ask me to marry her first and I put her off by changing the subject. I wanted to ask her.”

Katie on being overwhelmed by Tom: “When I met Tom I was completely in love and, yes, I admired him growing up – he’s Tom Cruise! [After our first meeting, I was] completely in love. He was so warm, and I thought, ‘Wow, you can be a superstar and a human being.’ He made me feel so amazing.”

Katie on life since her romance with Tom began: “My life has expanded. My family and friends are all a part of this bigger life.”

Katie on people still having the wrong idea about her: “There’s a misperception about me that I just became this wallflower, this woman who doesn’t have any control of her life. And that’s pretty wrong. From the very beginning, I’ve made choices in my life that have been very strong. ”

Isla Fisher and 13-month-old daughter Olive Cohen take a page from fellow mother-daughter duo Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise’s book and sport cute pairs of sunglasses while passing through LAX airport in Los Angeles on Thursday.

The 32-year-old actress is this month’s cover girl for the Australian edition of FHM. Isla admits she owes her slender figure to good genes: “I have never been a big fan of working out and I’ve never been a sporty person - I was always more of a book worm. I know it sounds like a cliché, but I’ve been blessed with good genes. My mom is little, and I’m fortunate that I don’t like eating junk food. I just don’t like the taste of it.”

Here are the first pictures of The Hills newlyweds Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt soaking up the sun on their Mexican honeymoon. Another hilarious photo shoot to add to the books!

The happy couple, who eloped south of the border last week, was seen enjoying their first week of wedded bliss at their private villa in the exclusive One and Only Palmilia resort in Los Cabos. While there, Speidi was also seen filming scenes for an upcoming episode of The Hills.

Earlier today,Spencer called Ryan Seacrest’s radio show Thursday to respond to comments made by Heidi Montag’s mom.

Spencer fired back, saying, “I can’t wait to prove her wrong and be married for the rest of our lives. I’m sure she’s just hurt and reacting crazy because she wasn’t there.”

When asked if he’ll be spending the holidays with Heidi’s mom, Spencer said, “The Pratts - as in Heidi Pratt and Spencer Pratt - will probably have their own Christmas tree.”

Fergie stops by the New York City showroom of her new shoe brands - Fergie and Fergalicious - on Wednesday to discuss launch plans for the lines.

The 33-year-old Fergalicious shoe designer said, “I have always loved fashion because it’s a great way to express your mood. And I’m definitely a shoe lover. The right pair of shoes can change the feel of an outfit, and even change how a woman feels about herself. A woman can wear confidence on her feet with a high stiletto, or slip into weekend comfort with a soft ballet flat.”

Both fancy footwear brands for Brown Shoes will debut in stores in February 2009.

On his fave NYC hang-outs: “Bungalow 8, Smith and Mills and Chanterelle.”

On his outlook on gay relationships: “As soon as I got out of high school, I was like, I don’t care if anybody’s gay. It doesn’t matter. Doing Milk, I don’t know if it broadened my mind at all. I like to think that I was as open as I could be at that point.”

Britney Spears takes her two little boys Sean Preston and Jayden James to FAO Schwarz for a little toy shopping in NYC on Wednesday.

Jamie and Lynne Spears, Britney’s parents, also came along to shop and watch the kids.

“Each of the boys had one of those soldier guys (employees) to walk around with, and they each had a huge metal trolley cart to fill up,” says a witness told OK!. “They picked out hundreds of dollars worth of Mack Trucks, cement mixers and RC cars.”

“Sean really fell in love with a car transporter, which he had taken out of the box so he could hold it everywhere he went. Jayden was most excited about a little blue plane, and cried when someone tried to take it away.”

Here are a few more amazing pics of Jennifer Aniston in the latest issue of EW, in promotion of her latest film Marley & Me (out Christmas Day). Check out a few more highlights from the interview, including one where she compares herself to Miley Cyrus’s on-screen character:

On Barack Obama being elected President: ‘[Election night] was just so moving, so unbelievable. And now what do people do? Read my crap [in the tabloids]! Everything comes to a halt: ‘What did she say?’ Good God. You have to laugh at it all at the end of the day.”

On her ex-husband Brad Pitt’s movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (it also comes out Christmas Day): “(pretending to chastise the reporter) Oh, you had to go there! I thought we were out of the woods. (sighs) I want [Button] to do great. I’ve seen about an hour of it. It’s amazing. Amazing.”

On comparing herself to a Disney show: ”Everyone projects their thoughts on you. Everyone’s got an opinion. I wish they didn’t. I’ve gotten to the point where, if I focus on all of that stuff, I won’t make a move, you know? (pauses) There’s this character — it’s like my Hannah Montana. That’s how I feel. There’s my Hannah Montana and then there’s me.”

On never being happier as she approaches 40: ”I don’t know if I’m just a late bloomer, but I feel like everything is just beginning.”

On recounting a story about her ex who gave her a disobedient dog for Valentine’s Day: “Note to self: Don’t give dogs as gifts unsolicited. (She lets the name Tate [Donovan] slip.) I’m sorry — I mean, my ex-boyfriend.”

U.S. President-elect Barack Obama nominated on Wednesday New Mexico governor Bill Richardson as the next secretary of commerce.

"Last week, Vice President-elect Biden and I began the process of announcing our economic team," Obama told a news conference at his transition office headquarters in Chicago, Illinois. "Today we are pleased to name another key member of this team -- our nominee for secretary of commerce, my great friend, Gov. Bill Richardson."

Obama described Richardson as a leading "economic diplomat for America" who "has been seen from just about every angle what makes our economy work and what keeps it from working better" during his time in state government and Congress, and in two tours of duty in the cabinet.

Richardson, 61, has served as United Nations ambassador and energy secretary during the Clinton administration. He is currently in his second term as New Mexico's governor.

As a Hispanic, Richardson launched his bid for the White House early this year, but gave it up after the second Democratic presidential primary in New Hampshire.

He then threw his support for Obama and campaigned for his bid to become the first African-American president in the country.

U.S. President-elect Barack Obama is flanked by Council of Economic Advisors Director-designate Christina Romer(L), National Economic Council Director-designate Lawrence Summers (R) as he announces the members of his economic policy team during a news conference in Chicago, November 24, 2008.
