Katie in NY MagKatie Holmes graces the cover of the fall fashion issue of New York Magazine. She channels Jackie. O in her outfits for the mag. Katie will be playing the famous style icon in a mini-series coming to the History Channel in 2011. Mrs.Cruise opened up to the magazine about her personal style, Suri's amazing style and of course, her life with Mr. Cruise. Katie's next film The Romantics is expected to be released in September. You can currently see her in The Extra Man.famous shot of Jackie O in NYC
On the fashion of Suri: I grew up the youngest of five, so there were a lot of hand-me-downs that I would sort of change up. And Suri and I do that now with her clothes. Or rather, she does it. She says, 'I want this sleeve cut,' and it's like, 'Okay, we'll cut it.' She picks out all of her own clothes and has since she was 1½. Tom and I went to the Met ball a couple of years ago, and I had this beautiful red gown and these royal-blue shoes that I wasn’t planning on wearing, but Suri made me put them on and so I was like, 'Okay, I trust you.

Reese and Paul in How Do You KnowAnd it looks interesting albeit not what I was expecting. When they were shooting this spring in Washington D.C. the story sounded like Reese Witherspoon's character was involved with Paul Rudd but it turns out she is dating Owen Wilson and Paul Rudd becomes the other man. Paul Rudd also seems to be the main character of the film as a down on his luck guy who is the son of Jack Nicholson. The trailer doesn't reveal too much except that everyone wants to know how you can tell when you are in love and Reese Witherspoon's character wears a blue sweatshirt for the majority of it. The film was written and directed by veteran director James L.Brooks (Terms of Endearment, As Good as it Gets) so you know it has to be at least pretty good.

I've never been terribly fond of or even remotely impressed by House of Dereon, the "couture" label created by Beyonce's mother, Tina Knowles. Poor Tina has been through a lot this year: She filed for divorce because her husband knocked up some other broad he was shtuppin' on the side. She looked pissed enough to stab somebody in the eyeball before all that happened; I can't imagine the homicidal rage that's shining in her eyes now.

It looks like she's taking it out on her fashion line. Previews of the new collection were released today, and as usual, Beyonce looks absolutely miserable, with the puss of a girl who's only doing something because her mother made her. Let's get real here. Whether you like her music or not, you have to admit that Beyonce is one of the best dressed women in entertainment. Do you think she'd be caught dead in this shit otherwise? Not frickin' likely.

Speaking of getting caught in shit, there's no word whether Beyonce has patched things up with her philandering dad or whether she's met her new little brother. Insiders said that Beyonce was devastated by her father's infidelity and was considering firing him, but like Papa Joe Simpson he's got a pretty strong hold on his little moneymaker. He's not about to give that up, homicidal ex or no. He probably got used to sleeping with one eye open years ago.

Halle Berry on VogueWhich is, of course, the most important issue of the year not just because it contains all the new fall fashion but because it is so heavy that it can actually be used to knock someone out. Halle Berry breaks ground as only the second African-American woman to cover the iconic September issue. For a little bit of trivia, Naomi Campbell was the first to grace it in 1989. Halle, who hasn;t done a real interview in about three years, opened up to the mag about her break-up with the father of her child and her daughter who is perhaps one of the most gorgeous children on the planet. She also apparently loves to be naked and would take pictures of herself all day if she could which sounds obnoxious but if you were Halle Berry you would probably do the same thing.
On the break-up: "It's just that you realize you are not meant to go the distance with everybody. We were meant to bring this amazing little person into the world. And I think that's why we came together. And because of that, we are going to be together forever, all three of us. We are a family until we are not here anymore."

And I want a pony and a puppy and a Sno Cone machine and ...Why? Because it's the strongest chair in town. Seriously, there really isn't a furious battle over the remaining judge's slot on American Idol; I think the show is just past its prime. And it's just not the same without the wacky chemistry of the original panel. (In other words, it's just not fun to watch anymore now that the Bride of Vicodin has left the building.)

Jennifer Lopez seemed to be a shoo-in for a spot on the show, and should have been grateful given the poor performance of practically everything she touches, except for maybe Skeletor's ... oh, never mind, you dirty Gerties. Instead, Jennifer hit the producers with a laundry list of what she wanted in return for her exalted presence that became so over-the-top ridiculous they just said, "F**k it. Let's call Shania Twain." Why Shania? She did a guest gig as a mentor previously, and the producers are said to have been pursuing her ever since. She certainly fits the requirements: She's got industry experience, both as a recording artist and former wife of legendary producer Mutt Lange. She's a pretty woman, and she's very personable. She also seems like she's much more in touch with reality. I still think Jessica Simpson would be the perfect Idol judge. Damn you, Papa Joe.
