Seeing Reese Witherspoon in workout gear is nothing out of the ordinary, but this weekend it was all for a good cause. She was out as Global Ambassador and Honorary Chair of the Avon Foundation at their walk for Breast Cancer in DC. Of course, Reese stands out in the crowd and while in the capital for the event, she talked about being a recognizable mom. She said Ava and Deacon have "always kind of known me to be who I was, and if people know Mom at the grocery store, I think they kind of like it. Obviously, if you're not having the greatest day, it's not always easy, but for the most part, (fame) brings a lot of positive things into our life." Considering how much we love seeing Reese, especially with Jake or her kids, it's good to hear that being a star usually puts a smile on her face, too.

Shia LaBeouf was back to business as he packed up his trusty doctor's bag and headed out of LAX yesterday. Hopefully he's rested up after napping in the sun at Coachella because he's about to go into serious promotional mode for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. He'll be taking on SNL hosting duties for his second time next weekend before jetting off to Cannes at the end of the month. Of course Shia is hoping for a blockbuster, but he also revealed that he and Harrison even have a little bet going about the fate of the film, saying, "If this is not the biggest Indiana Jones movie yet, I've got to paint Harrison Ford's garage. If it's a flop I've actually got to build him a new garage and then paint that, too. But this film is gonna be huge. It has to be – I'm not too keen on the idea of all that painting."

Tom Cruise's celebration of 25 years of making movies rolls on, including this morning's dramatic launch of TomCruise.com after a weekend long countdown that had everyone guessing. There's a message from Tom, a video homage, and a promise of lots more to come! Very cool. Part two of his triumphant return to Oprah and celebration of his career also airs today and this time, it's all about his films. After Friday's show in his peaceful Telluride home focused a lot on his personal life and controversies, this second half is much more about honoring all things Tom and his amazing career. His famous friends like Will, Jada, David, Victoria, and Steven were happy to film some segments for the man of the hour. Here are highlights:

- On making Risky Business: "I was always trying to enjoy every moment that I could because I thought, 'If this is the last film I get to make, then at least I lived that dream.' . . . I had no idea that I'd be here 25 years later doing this."
- Victoria Beckham on Tom: "One of our first dates, we went to the movies to see Jerry Maguire, and I wore glasses . . .It was first time David kissed me, and he completely steamed up my glasses. When we got to know Tom, we told him the story of how it was one of our first dates, and he sent us the jacket that he wore in one of the scenes, and he signed it . . . And David hasn't taken the jacket off since. I make him wear it."
- Will Smith on Tom: "Every man can't just slide in a room nekkid with sunglasses on and pull it off . . . So I knew at that point . . . he's a star . . . I've met very few people who have made that commitment that when they leave this place, they want the world to be better, period, because they were here. And this dude has made that. There's not a single piece of press, there's not been a single interview, there's not been a single image in the 25 years of his career that gets anywhere near capturing who he is. Well, Tom, man, congratulations. We've got nothing but love for you, T.C."
- Steven Spielberg on Tom: "Tom compels the audience to listen to what he says. They listen when he says a line of dialogue or even when he's being silent. He's a magnet for our attention . . . To have [the opportunity to work with Tom twice] really meant a great deal to me, and I love him and his family, and they mean a lot to me."

George Clooney and Sarah Larson arrived in NYC last night in their matching leather jackets. Clooney traded his PYT for Renée Zellweger on his worldwide Leatherheads promo tour, but tonight Sarah might be lucky enough to go back to fulfilling her duties as arm candy at the Met's Costume Institute Gala. It's one of the most star-studded events of the year, and George is cohosting it with Julia Roberts and Armani. We can't wait to see our favorite A-listers dressed to the nines, and while the night is usually all about the designers and ladies, we hope George gets in on the superhero fun since tomorrow is his birthday! Time to slip back into that bat suit, perhaps?

Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz were among the familiar celebrity faces that hit the red carpet at the Bravo Supershow in Nuremberg, Germany on Sunday. After weeks of conveniently cut dresses and hoodies to go along with those pregnancy rumors, Ashlee showed off her svelte figure in a high-waisted skirt. While Ash still won't confirm or deny that, during an interview with Heat Radio she was happy to joke about her upcoming wedding — specifically whether Jessica's music would make it into the reception playlist. She said, "No, that would be really nerdy." Wentworth Miller joined them at the event, which I'm sure makes more than a few of you readers happy.
