Before rubbing elbows with fellow A-listers at Madonna's Oscar party on Sunday, Tom Cruise spent Saturday catching up with his son Connor. The boys took their sunglasses to the racetrack to catch the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Auto Club 500, and looks like Tom also showed off his football skills. The ladies of the Cruise family decided to sit this one out, but it sounds like a perfect day for some father-son bonding and VIP treatment.

Jessica Simpson didn't have any of her usual men — Ken, Tony or Papa Joe — by her side out to dinner at Kumo in LA last night. Even having to take care of her own hair checks this time didn't keep a smile off her face. Meanwhile, her dad has been too busy in Las Vegas helping Ashlee promote her new album to take his oldest daughter to dinner. Jess seems to be doing just fine all on her own, and if you need proof, check out Willie Nelson's new video that features the pop star showing her girl power and leaving the likes of Owen Wilson, Woody Harrelson in the dust.

Adam Sandler separated himself from his beloved Matzo Ball long enough to get to filming Bedtime Stories in LA yesterday. If you couldn't gather from these photos, the movie has a bit of a fantasy element — including a gumball rainstorm it seems — telling the story of a man whose bedtime stories he tells his nephew start to come true. Carmen Electra apparently makes an appearance in this scene, but his real leading lady in the movie is Keri Russell. Considering the soft spot I have for both Sandler and Russell I'm thinking I may have an even bigger one for this movie.

Last week we got a sneak peek at Rachel Bilson's super cute spread in Nylon, and now we've got the full package of Rachel showing off her windblown pre-bangs hair and a bunch of different outfits. After the jump watch a little behind the scenes video of her shoot where Rachel took a break from posing to chat. She talks about how she wants to work with Wes Anderson and Tim Burton, and how her idols range from her mother to Larry David. Well, Larry David may not be a conventional role model, but there are few things this girl could say to make us love her any less.

Courteney Cox Arquette arrived in NYC last night with a bright purple scarf and her usual piercing blue eyes. It would appear that she does not immediately revert into being Monica Gellar when she steps foot on the island of Manhattan because that look is a lot more Lucy Spiller than Friends. Supposedly season 2 of Dirt is going to be a wee bit lighter than the very dark first season, but methinks Lucy's not going to be turning into a softie anytime soon.
