Katie Holmes was back in her baggy jeans going to work on the set of Eli Stone in LA yesterday. After a busy weekend with her adorable family, Katie looked rejuvenated, refreshed, and ready to get down to business singing and dancing. In an alternate universe, it might be Katie off around the world premiering record-breaking The Dark Knight for her role as Rachel Dawes, but frankly she looks perfectly happy on her new project right at home close to Tom and little Suri.

Gwyneth had a bit of her coiffed hair in her face after leaving a salon in Manhattan yesterday afternoon. She smiled for the paparazzi even with the wind in her face, which is always nice to see from Gwyn. The actress spent some time relaxing with her friend Madonna and their kids in the Hamptons earlier in the week, which apparently left her in a great mood. Possible other reasons for that grin — she's tied with Reese as the number four top-earning actress in Hollywood this year.

Ashlee Simpson picked up some cotton goodies at American Apparel in LA yesterday, though rather than sticking with the basics herself she showed off yet another in her selection of maxi dresses. Of course that growing baby bump is to be expected, but it's still a little bit surprising to see little Ashlee so big already! After a little shopping, Ashlee and a friend stopped by a coffee shop — Pete's not the only one enjoying the friend dates these days. Ash looks like a perfect little glowing mom-to-be, keeping life a little less hectic than her sister Jess is these days.

It was just anther celebrity filled day at the DKNY Jeans Beach House in Malibu earlier this week. Carmen Electra showed off her bangin' as always bikini body and cuddled up to her fiancé Rob Patterson for the cameras. Wonder if these two found a moment to get busy in that famous make out photo booth? Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush certainly did while enjoying the sun and posing for the cameras. Audrina kept her cover-up on this time — I suppose one bikini photo shoot is enough for her this week. Well, I suppose there's still time for any of these ladies to show off another suit or two for any of this fun and relaxing luxurious hangout.

Jessica Simpson showed off her smile and familiar hair making her way from LAX to JFK last night, the first time out since last weekend's return to the stage. She's in NYC to shoot her another star-studded Macy's ad today. That's not nearly all that Jess has going on, however, she also announced her album name Do You Know, which may also include a song for Tony called "You're My Sunday." Even more exciting, she just announced that she's adding dresses to her line that already includes shoes, bags, sunglasses, intimates and more! Aw, I'm sure little Daisy is super proud of her mama.
