Tom Cruise surprised Matt Lauer today at his Friars Club roast. Tom got in on the fun, joking that he and Matt are close friends now and that Matt is the one who told him to act crazy on their infamous Today Show argument. Tom's been working toward changing his public image with his appearance on Oprah and his well-received comedic role for Tropic Thunder, but do you think he's on the road to redeeming himself?
Tobey Maguire and Jennifer Meyer were out last night to support and pose for photos with designer Alexis Mabille at the opening of Arcade boutique in LA. Mischa Barton showed up in a colorful Herve Leger but was rolling solo — and loving it. When asked about being single since her breakup with Taylor Locke, Mischa said, "I'm not used to being single but it's really nice. It's great, actually. It's important to breathe for a minute." Mischa may have more time on her hands these days to work on her fashion line and acting career, but we'll see how long she can avoid those public makeout sessions she seems to love so much.
Grey's Anatomy Rundown: Episode 5, "There's No 'I' in Team" Is it too early to say Grey's Anatomy is on a roll? I've said that before and regretted it later, but for the second week in a row, I thought the episode felt like the Grey's I came to know and love. A big ol' dramatic medical story, a whole lot of Bailey being awesome, and a touch too much awkward sex — it's like the olden days!
Ryan Phillippe was back from London yesterday and grabbed coffee before changing into a tank and dropping Deacon off at karate class in LA. Deacon turned five yesterday, but his family is already making plans for the next big holiday. Thanksgiving is coming up, and Abbie will be joining Ryan, Deacon, and Ava at the dinner table this year. Reese has talked about juggling holidays before, so seems like this family is figuring out their dynamic as things get more serious between both parents and their significant others.
Jessica Simpson flew from LA to NYC yesterday and was spotted this morning leaving her hotel. Earlier this week, she and Daisy trekked out to the desert for a sexy photo shoot, and now they're back in cold East Coast weather. While Jess has dealt with some criticism on her road to becoming a country star, she recently got some support from an unlikely source. Carrie Underwood, who is Tony Romo's ex and caused controversy saying he still calls her, recently complimented the genre's ability to embrace Jessica. It's always good to hear women supporting each other in the industry, so hopefully Jessica can return the favor sometime soon.
This Just In: Nic Cage Lists a Historic Rhode Island Estate Real estate hobbyist Nicolas Cage is at it again. The actor has listed a historic 24,664-square-foot, 12-bedroom, 10-full-and-3-half-bath estate in Newport, RI, for $15.9 million, according to Real Estalker. Cage purchased the monumental English manor-style estate just last year for $15.7 million. It's unclear whether he purchased the property furnished, but it seems furnishing the sprawling home alone would cost much more than the $200,000 raise in price.
Rihanna bundled up for her appearance on The Late Show and looked perfectly chic while waving to her New York fans. She kept things simple in all black but mixed patterns and textures to create a unique look.
