Keri Russell had River by her side for a walk around their Brooklyn neighborhood on Sunday. It's been almost two months since we've last seen him, and it looks like the 16-month-old is already navigating the pavement like a pro. While he's been busy mastering his walking, Keri has also been hard at work — she voiced a character for the animated flick Wonder Woman and is now filming Leaves of Grass with Edward Norton. Her kid-friendly Bedtime Stories is hitting theaters on Christmas, but River still might be a bit too young to sit through a movie even if it stars mom.

Beyonce Knowles joined Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, and Diddy at a "Promote the Vote" rally for Barack Obama in Philadelphia yesterday. Jay-Z and Diddy have been campaigning for the last few days in key toss-up states, and Diddy took the opportunity to open up about how important this election is to him. He said, "It's a new day right now and my son is in fourth grade, and when they ask him what he wants to be, now he can say he wants to be president of the United States. That's all because of Barack Obama." Beyonce later added, "Everyone is excited and it's time. I feel like we have grown so much as a nation and we will continue to grow because of Mr. Obama." No matter who you're casting your ballot for, all eyes will be on the news as the day unfolds.

Kate Winslet hailed a cab in NYC yesterday before this morning when she had to fight rumors that her gorgeous spread in Vanity Fair was airbrushed. Her rep claims Kate is "furious" and that her body is in "terrific shape." This isn't the first time Kate has had issues with magazines altering her body, though last time the situation was reversed.

After posing for a photo call in Paris yesterday, Leonardo DiCaprio slipped into his suit for the big premiere of Body of Lies last night. Leo took the opportunity to promote more than just his latest film — he also threw out one last endorsement for Obama, saying, "I've my fingers crossed that he will win because I think he'll make some dramatic changes in our country that we're looking for, but the rest of the world is as well." Even in a foreign country, Leo will probably be glued to the computer and TV screens like the rest of us so hopefully he knows which states to keep an eye on.
