Finding trustworthy mates is a difficult
task for many, but when you're a megastar like Robert Pattinson it becomes an
even larger challenge.
Just days before news broke about his
girlfriend Kristen Stewart's affair with "Snow White and the Huntsman" director
Rupert Sanders, the 26-year-old actor sat down for a candid interview about the
difficulties that accompany stardom.
Technology plays a major role in the
invasion of celebrity privacy and the "Twilight" superstar said, "I wish this
(Twilight) had happened 12 years ago, before camera phones and website TMZ.
Then it would have been amazing," adding, "being a successful actor... if you
just had the good side of fame it would have been unbelievable."
Robert went on to explain, "Now actors
are the most conservative people in the world because you can't do anything.
Literally,you can't do anything at all. You can't trust anyone because it all
becomes part of your career."
Since his 22-year-old lady cheated,
Pattinson has yet to face the media. That is about to change as premieres and
promotions for his upcoming films are quickly approaching.
Suri is everyone’s favorite fashionista,
but the 6-year-old is about to get a huge culture shock! Mom Katie doesn’t want
her daughter receiving freebies and wearing designer duds anymore! Read the
shocking details.
Suri Cruise has been known to rock some
of the latest styles and beauty trends — and she’s only six years old! However,
all of that is about to change now that Suri is living in New York with her mom,
Katie Holmes, and attending private school.
Apparently, Katie doesn’t want her
daughter to sport the high heels, pricey clothes, and lipstick that he is often
spotted wearing.
“Katie has been returning unsolicited
gifts and loans from designers for Suri since she arrived in New York,” a source
told Reveal magazine.
“She’s issued instructions to remove Suri
from all freebie lists. She’s also put the word out in LA to stop any mini-me
diva products being sent her way.”
Even more, the source claims that Suri’s
glamorous lifestyle was all Tom Cruise‘s idea, and Katie just wants her daughter
to have a normal childhood.
“Tom loved to spoil Suri and indulge her,
but Katie has other ideas,” the source explained.
It seems this new life in New York will
be much different for Suri than before!
With his divorce from Katie just settled,
Tom is focused on spending time with Suri.
There has been much speculation
surrounding the custody arrangement in Tom Cruise‘s divorce from Katie Holmes,
with most reports indicating that Katie has been granted primary custody over
their six-year-old daughter, Suri. While that may be true, a new report says
that Tom is planning to see Suri very soon.
According to E! News, a source close to
Tom says that the 50-year-old actor hopes to see his daughter as soon as he’s
finished shooting in Mammoth Lakes, California, which could be as soon as this
weekend.
“As soon as he is done shooting he will
arrange to see Suri. If he wasn’t shooting up in the mountains, I am sure he
already would be with her,” the source says.
The source also provided information
regarding the custody arrangement, saying that Tom and Katie’s plan for
visitation is “flexible” and “all set out” in the agreement. The source
acknowledged that Katie, 33, has primary physical custody of Suri, but that
“[Tom's] plan is to see Suri very, very often. He loves her dearly and is a
normal parent.”
What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Are
YOU surprised that Tom will be able to see Suri so soon?
Tom Cruise was back on the set of
Oblivion in Mammoth Lakes, CA, yesterday. He's been hard at work on the film
since settling his divorce from Katie Holmes this Monday. It looks like he's
been in good spirits despite the family drama and was even seen smiling and
laughing with colleagues in recent days.
Tom got another boost during production
when his son, Connor, stopped by to visit him between takes. Katie Holmes,
meanwhile, has had her mom, Kathleen, and Suri by her side on the East Coast.
Katie, Kathleen, and Suri stopped by the Central Park Zoo just yesterday and
were likewise looking happy as they checked out the animals.
Although Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes
agreed to keep the details of their divorce settlement under wraps, details have
started to emerge. The most important one: the battle over their 6-year-old
daughter Suri, of whom the actress requested sole custody in her June 29 filing.
According to People magazine, both Cruise and Holmes agreed that Suri “should
live primarily with her mother in New York City with generous visitation by her
father.” Adds a source, “They both love their daughter and Tom thinks she should
be with her mother … Neither one of them wanted this to be hashed out in
public."
Ever since Holmes, 33, surprised Cruise
with divorce papers just days before his 50th birthday, Suri has been spotted
with her mother all over Manhattan. The two, who moved out of the “Rock of Ages”
star’s East Village home and now live in a new three-bedroom apartment in the
Chelsea neighborhood, have visited museums, grabbed lunch with friends, and gone
out for ice cream together. Although Suri has not seen her father since he’s
been filming in Iceland, she does reportedly talk to him on the phone every day.
People also reports that she will be enrolled in a private school in the city
come this fall.
Although she won the war for Suri, Holmes
did not get much in the money battle with Cruise, according to the LA Times. The
former “Dawson’s Creek” actress will not get “any significant money or property”
due to their prenup, a source tells the newspaper. Holmes, the source adds, “was
never after money but wanted to protect her daughter.”
Earlier on Monday, there were reports
that Holmes wanted to banish Scientology from Suri’s life and also wanted a
nanny of her choosing to accompany Suri at all times during visits with her
father, but her lawyer warns that you shouldn’t believe everything you read.
"There are numerous inaccuracies in the reports regarding the purported contents
of the agreement reached between the parties," Jonathan Wolfe said in a
statement. "The agreement is confidential and its terms will not be
disclosed."
Katie Holmes has not only reclaimed her
life now that she's filed for divorce from Tom Cruise – she's also taking back
her name. Ever since the two first got together in 2005, the “Mission
Impossible” star has insisted on referring to his wife as "Kate," even though
neither her friends nor her family has ever called her that. And it clearly was
a name Holmes herself did not identify with because she never went by it
professionally, despite her husband's consistent use of it every time he
mentioned her publicly. In fact, in her statement announcing the split, Holmes'
lawyer said, “This is a personal and private matter for Katie and her family."
Cruise's response? "Kate has filed for divorce."
It first began in April 2006, when
Holmes, now 33, was still pregnant with Suri, but not yet married to Cruise.
During an interview with All Headline News, he explained, "Katie is a young
girl’s name. Her name is Kate now – she’s a child-bearing woman." At the time,
it was also reported that Holmes had agreed upon the name change "after
discussing it with Tom" and as a result “all friends and family now call her
Kate.”
The only person to publicly call the
former "Dawson’s Creek" star the name that Cruise, 50, preferred was his
longtime friend Brooke Shields, who was invited to the couple’s lavish wedding
in a move that seemed like an attempt to extend an olive branch. Remember when
Cruise called her out for "drug use after she admitted she used anti-depressants
to battle postpartum depression following the birth of her first daughter? (He
said she should have simply taken vitamins). “Kate called me herself to invite
us to the wedding," Shields said at the time. “It would have felt like a slap to
say no."
As much as Cruise pushed “Kate,” it just
didn’t stick, not just in her personal life, but her professional one as well.
On every movie poster for the films she has made since getting together with
Cruise, she has been billed as “Katie Holmes.” The same goes for all the covers
of the fashion magazines she has graced: They, too, spell out "Katie
Holmes."
By filing for divorce, Katie is also
shedding another unwanted name: Mrs. Tom Cruise.
Showing up for an elegant private affair,
Whitney Houston was spotted at the Hotel Grand du Cap-Ferrat in
Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferra, France on Monday evening.
During the intimate concert, the “I Look To You” singer belted out several of her famous songs while donning a beautiful
white gown.
Coming up this weekend, Ms Houston is set
to attend Saturday’s Ball on the Mall in Washington D.C., but will be giving her
vocals a rest and putting on her dancing shoes.
The annual Ball on the Mall is a black
tie dance that benefits the Trust for the National Mall and is held under a tent
where guests dance to a swinging orchestra after dinner.
TomKat is no more. Katie Holmes, 33, has
filed for divorce from Tom Cruise, who turns 50 Tuesday, her lawyer told People
magazine Friday. While of course it means an end to their romance, it also means
the end of one of the most high-profile celebrity couples, well, ever. No more
couch-jumping. No more serenading. No more public declarations of love. To mourn
the end of Tom and Katie's love story, take a look back at some of their most
memorable moments together.
Last week, Tom Cruise took daughter Suri
and son Connor to an awards ceremony in New York. Meanwhile, Katie Holmes was on
the other side of the planet in Taiwan. The official reason was to promote an
ice skating event.
Now that Holmes filed for divorce on
Friday, according to People, Holmes' Taiwan trip seems more like a warning sign
than anything else.
In recent months, the couple was rarely
photographed together, even when the two were in the same city. Back in New York
this week, Holmes was photographed all over town with Suri, wearing matching
outfits, going to see the movie Brave, eating ice cream, all without
Dad.
It was a Spice Girl reunion in London on
Tuesday when Melanie Brown, Victoria Beckham, Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell, and
Melanie Chisholm came together to drum up interest in "Viva Forever," an
upcoming musical based on the hit songs of the '90s girl group.
The event took place at St. Pancras
Renaissance London Hotel, where the Spice Girls filmed their music video for
"Wannabe" back in 1996. The women looked better than ever as they gathered to
talk about "Viva Forever," which will be produced by Judy Craymer, the
mastermind behind the ABBA musical, "Mamma Mia!" The show centers around four
women whose friendship is put to the test when their band competes on a TV
talent-competition show. The musical, which opens this fall, will feature hit
songs made famous by the Spice Girls, who sold 75 million records around the
world.
"They sing it better than us," Melanie
Brown, better known as Scary Spice, told the Associated Press, referring to the
cast of the musical.
The Spice Girls formed in 1994 and shot
to fame two years later when they released their debut single, "Wannabe." Some
of their other hit songs include "Say You'll Be There," "Spice Up Your Life,"
and "Viva Forever," which was the inspiration for the name of the musical.
Halliwell left the group in 1998, and while the remaining four continued to make
music together, they called it quits in 2000. This is the first Spice Girls
appearance since they all participated in a reunion tour in 2007 and
2008.
When we see pink on the eyes, we
typically see it in faint, shimmery finishes. This week, however, stars amped it
up, opting for vibrant, almost-opaque versions of the classically pretty shade.
Emma Stone wore hers from lids to brows, pairing the punchy look with
coordinating lipstick. Ginnifer Goodwin and Julianne Moore, on the other hand,
opted for a wash of the hue on just the lids. Not sure if this palette will for
you? Try layering your favorite pink-toned blush on the lids to test the
waters.

At only 23, Emma Stone is a style-setting
Jack of all trades. She's got impeccable comedic timing, can hang with the guys,
and has the red-carpet styling skills of a seasoned pro. While we first took
notice of Emma as Jonah Hill's high-school crush in Superbad, she's quickly
added to her résumé with standout roles in Easy A, The Help, Crazy, Stupid,
Love, and most recently The Amazing Spider-Man.
To boot, her style and ease on the red
carpet has garnered some well-deserved attention from the fashionably minded.
Emma's not afraid to go for the wow factor with bold color and embellishments
from labels like Lanvin, Jason Wu, and Balenciaga; she knows how to channel her
sexier side, opting for a stunning Gucci number at the Paris premiere of The
Amazing Spider-Man; and she's mastered the art of sleek minimalism via cool
Martin Grant sheaths.
Now, we're taking a closer look at how
this blonde-cum-redheaded beauty has emerged stylishly victorious since making
her silver screen debut. Click through to see how she makes it all work and
don't forget to check out our complete breakdown of Emma's The Amazing
Spider-Man premiere looks here.
It looks like Bobby Brown and Alicia
Etheredge are firmly entrenched in newlywed bliss the day after their Hawaiian
nuptials.
"We are the happiest couple in the
world," Etheridge gushed to RumorFix of Brown, 43.
Joined by Brown's older kids Landon, 23,
La'Princia, 22, and Bobby Jr., 19, as well as Brown and Etheridge's only child
together, Cassius, 3, the New Edition singer's wife calls the day they wed "the
most special, beautiful day with all our family and friends."
Brown, whose ex wife Whitney Houston died
in February, has also described what he has with Etheredge (who is also his
manager) as a "perfect relationship."
"I got my passion back for music, for
loving myself because of her," Brown told PEOPLE last year.

Tom Cruise was the man of the hour at
this evening's Friars Club event at The Waldorf-Astoria in Manhattan. Tom was
honored with the Entertainment Icon Award, which has only been given out to
three other stars, including Cary Grant and Frank Sinatra, in the history of the
organization.
Tom had the support of multiple famous
pals at tonight's special program, with his Rock of Ages costar Alec Baldwin —
who was also the emcee — Cuba Gooding Jr., and Matt Lauer all on hand to witness
the show. It looks like his kids Suri and Connor were able to witness the moment
since they were spotting leaving their NYC apartment with Tom before the
show.
There was one person missing, though:
Tom's wife, Katie Holmes. She's currently in Asia promoting Artistry on Ice,
with her latest press event taking her to Beijing .
When you break Taylor Swift's heart, you
can bet she's going to write a song about it - and now John Mayer is speaking
out for the first time about the tune she wrote about him.
The "Half Of My Heart" singer says he was
"really humiliated" when he heard Taylor's "Dear John" song directed at him,
telling the latest issue of Rolling Stone, "It made me feel terrible, because I
didn't deserve it. I'm pretty good at taking accountability now, and I never did
anything to deserve that. It was a really lousy thing for her to do."
Swift and Mayer were rumored to have been
an item for a short time while splitting before the country singer released the
song on her best-selling 2010 album, "Speak Now", in which she sings out, "Dear
John, I see it all, now it was wrong / Don't you think 19 is too young to be
played by your dark twisted games, when I loved you so?"
The single debuted right around the time
Mayer went on a two-year hiatus following controversial interviews with Rolling
Stone and Playboy and, at the time, Swift said of the song, "There are things
that were little nuances of the relationship, little hints, Everyone will know,
so I don't really have to send out emails on this one."
Sitting down with Rolling Stone again,
Mayer insists, "I never got an e-mail. I never got a phone call, I was really
caught off-guard, and it really humiliated me at a time when I'd already been
dressed down. I mean, how would you feel if, at the lowest you've ever been,
someone kicked you even lower?"
When John was asked to explain Taylor's
lyrics, he opined, "Don't you think I was too young to be messed with? I don't
want to go into that."
In the new Rolling Stone issue - which is
set to hit newsstands on Friday - Mayer continued to bash Taylor for her "Dear
John" release, stating, "I will say as a songwriter that I think it's kind of
cheap songwriting. I know she's the biggest thing in the world, and I'm not
trying to sink anybody's ship, but I think it's abusing your talent to rub your
hands together and go, 'Wait till he gets a load of this!' That's
bullshit."
Just months after the superstar's death,
her relatives are using the singer to flog TV appearances, reality shows, and a
tell-all book. They say they want to protect the singer's name—but some just
need the income, says Allison Samuels.
Odds are that no matter the results of
the 2012 presidential election, singer Whitney Houston's death will still likely
be deemed one of the biggest stories of year. Not only was Houston one of the
most dominant superstars of a generation, she also died a rather tragic and
untimely death. Those dynamics make the story of her life and passing even more
fascinating to the masses.
Still, her demise following a long battle
with drugs won't be the only disturbing event remembered by fans and admirers of
the singer. The actions and reactions from her family, ex-husband, and former
cohorts in the aftermath of her death will surely go down in infamy as
well.
From the interview with Oprah on the OWN
network that showcased Houston's beloved only child Bobbi Kristina speaking for
the first time, to ex-husband Bobby Brown's appearance on The Today Show,
relatives of the late singer have wasted little time in their attempt to put the
"real story" of Whitney all out there for the world to see. Unfortunately each
version of the "real Whitney" appears to be tainted with inconsistencies and
half-truths. Pat Houston, the singer’s sister-in-law and manager, told Oprah
Winfrey the star was completely drug-free shortly before she died. Toxicology
reports and the fact that she was doing handstands at the hotel pool indicated
the opposite.
Bobby Brown, Houston's ex-husband, told
Matt Lauer on Today that he'd never done hard drugs until he met
Whitney—apparently suggesting New Jersey-born superstar was the one who led him
astray in the land of mischief and mayhem. Many close to Brown beg to
differ.
It's just a month away from being
released, and " Katy Perry: Party of Me 3D" has just leaked a new clip to start
generating hype.
The video shows the "I Kissed a Girl"
songstress chatting with her parents, and her mom claims she'll never watch Katy
on MTV if she has "half her clothes off."
Perry's dad pipes in and quells the
situation, declaring, "She ain't gonna have half her clothes off...
relax!"
"Katy Perry: Part of Me 3D" is slated for
a July 5th release, and follows the pop star across 124 performances with plenty
of backstage and behind-the-scenes footage.
After rumors started swirling this
morning (May 30) that Bobbi Kristina Brown walked off the set of her latest
show, the series creator Tyler Perry jumped to her defense.
In a report put out by Radar online on
Wednesday, sources claimed that Whitney Houston's daughter quit the TBS comedy
"For Better or Worse" a few weeks ago because she was still dealing with her
mother's death.
However, after getting word of the rumor,
Perry took it upon himself to set the record straight in a blog post reading,
"NOT TRUE AT ALL PEOPLE!!! There is no way that she could have walked off the
set because we have finished taping the season."
In the lengthy comment, the comedian also
explains that he wrote Miss Kristina into his show after spending "a long time
talking about her goals and dreams" to act.
The actor-director-producer explained
that he thought this would be good for the 19-year-old, penning, "I thought that
there would be no better way for me to help her move through the grieving than
by giving her something to focus on. The one thing that I learned after my
mother’s death is that you have to keep busy and you have to be around people
who you can trust, so that when you do grieve you can do it in the safety and
privacy of people that care."
After confirming that there were tough
days on set for the actress due to her recent loss, Tyler says she still did
what she came there to do explaining, "she managed to finish her obligation and
did a great job at the same time."
Kristen Stewart rocked an equestrian-like
look upon arriving at a "Snow White and the Huntsman" industry screening in L.A.
on Tuesday night. The 22-year-old actress -- who was outfitted by designer
Stella McCartney -- paired a high-collar blouse with a black blazer and matching
mini skirt. A loose updo, smokey eye makeup, and two-tone platform pumps
completed her youthful yet chic ensemble.
Making her triumphant post-baby stage
debut, Beyonce Knowles was in fine form as she took the stage for the first time
since giving birth to daughter Blue Ivy while putting on a concert in Atlantic
City, New Jersey on Friday night.
The 30-year-old singing sensation
confidently greeted the sold-out audience at Ovation Hall at Revel Resort &
Casino while opening up the show with fan favorite "End of Time" before
transitioning into "Love on Top".
When all was said and done, Beyonce had
cranked out a whopping 27 song setlist including covers of Whitney Houston's " I
Will Always Love You" and Lauryn Hill's "Ex-Factor".
Giving his lady a big thumbs up,
Beyonce's rapper hubby, Jay-Z, took to Twitter at the conclusion of the concert
while writing, "I'm gonna say this and then I'm gonna end mine. BEYONCE is the
best performer in the world. Period."
