Rih was just one of a handful of women who were chosen by the magazine, but all eyes were on her - and most of you are loving the look, just the latest in her fashion metamorphosis!

Padma Lakshmi showed off her growing baby bump while one of the evening's honorees Stella McCartney smiled big with her award up on stage where she also had some trouble with her super short skirt. Amy Poehler and Michelle Obama were two of the magazine's other women of the year, though the First Lady didn't attend the event since she was with her husband President Barack Obama visiting with families at Fort Hood. The night was full of inspirational and important females who spoke and mingled, celebrating each other and Glamour's picks. Rihanna has come out strong opening up about her difficult year and what all this means to her – check out Rih's heartfelt speech after the jump.

PopSugar — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 09:00:42 -0800

Katie Holmes and her parents took Suri Cruise around NYC and to The Nutcracker this weekend while Tom Cruise posed with fans out promoting Valkyrie. Tom recently revealed he needs to work on his acting skills for his toughest critic, Suri, who didn't believe him as Santa Claus last year. As for her Christmas gifts under the tree, Tom said Suri loves dolls and stuffed animals, which isn't such a big surprise. This morning, Tom was on The Today Show to sit down live with Matt Lauer again and talk about their infamous last interview. Tom said of looking back on it:

"It's not what I had intended. I thought, in looking at myself, I thought, I came across as arrogant . . . That's one of those things you go 'okay I could have absolutely handled that better'. . . I didn't communicate it the way that I wanted to communicate it. That's not who I am . . . I take responsibility for it and I learned a good lesson."

He went on to talk about his happiness with Katie, his thoughts about more kids, Scientology, and Valkyrie, which you can watch below. To see the video plus more photos of the Cruises, especially adorable Suri with Katie, just read more.

Meanwhile, Katie was busy attending her weekend performances of All My Sons but found plenty of time for sweet Suri. The mother-daughter duo paid a visit to Central Park, where they hit the jungle gym and played with chalk between cute kisses.

Angelina Jolie Talks About Adopting Another Child

PopSugar — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 07:48:51 -0700

Angelina Jolie looked beautiful and happy back in New York to stop by The Today Show and chat with Matt Lauer this morning. Angelina was promoting Changeling and spoke again about how it is "horrifying" as a mother to think about anything happening to your children. After seeing Angelina and the kids through Brad's eyes in W Magazine, here's even more about the famous family and their plans to expand. You can watch the full interview after the jump. Here are highlights:

On adopting again: "Yeah, I have something in mind. You can't even start the process until any new children are six months old, to understand how the new family has settled. [. . .] It's a smart thing . . . to understand when to bring another child in."
On the twins: "We have so many children that they're not really stunned anymore when kids come home. [. . .] They're all at that great age that they are not threatened. They're independent. They don't need Mommy and Daddy all the time and to be able to enjoy the kids. They play with them, they change their diapers, they call them their babies, and they dress them up and you know, they have fun with them."
On moving all the time: "The children will probably dictate. We talk about one day, they'll probably want to stay in one place for a very long time, as they start to get certain friends," Jolie says, "So far we've just moved them a lot. They like packing their bags before the next adventure, and like making new friends wherever we go. I think . . . we'd like to maintain that . . . we'd like them to be those kind of adults, where they can find home wherever they are in the world, where they can find friends wherever they are in the world."

Mary-Louise Parker's Daughter Has Good Taste in Boys Already

Molly — Sun, 05 Oct 2008 07:00:00 -0700

Mary-Louise Parker and LL Cool J took some time out earlier this week to visit The Today Show and read to children attending Jumpstart's Read for the Record event in New York City. The actress and her little friend waved for the cameras on a break from the book. MLP has two kids of her own, but apparently her on-screen son Hunter Parrish is basically family at this point too. She said of their relationship, "He's a part of my life. We text each other. He spent Thanksgiving at my house, he comes every year. My daughter goes to the set, and the first thing she says on set is 'Hunter.' She's looking for Hunter." Considering our feelings about Hunter we understand where Mary-Louise's daughter is coming from.

Matt and Al's Rhythmic Gymnastics: Hilarious or Humiliating?

GiggleSugar — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 11:00:06 -0700

On the Today show this morning, Matt Lauer and Al Roker performed a men's tandem rhythmic gymnastics routine to the tune of "Dream Weaver." (Note: Men's tandem rhythmic gymnastics is not an actual sport - yet.) The parody was meant to be funny, and their earnest expressions kinda crack me up . . . but I can't help but wonder if Matt is being forced into that Spandex against his will. What do you think?

Gaffe or Straight Talk: When Troops Return Not Too Important

LibertySugar — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 15:45:00 -0700

The ghosts of presidential elections past are coming out of the dark to go back and forth about John McCain's latest quote on Iraq. Let's check out the exchange.

On the Today show Matt Lauer asked McCain if he had a better estimate of when the troops will come home. McCain said:

No, but that's not too important. What's important is the casualties in Iraq.

Former Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry responded saying:

It is unbelievably out of touch and inconsistent with the needs of Americans and particularly the families of troops who are over there. To them it’s the most important thing in the world when they come home.

And let's not leave out former Dem veep nominee Joe Lieberman, who said:

The attacks on Senator McCain this morning [are] another partisan attempt to distort John McCain’s words, to distract the American people from the fact that McCain has been both courageous and right about the surge in Iraq, and Barack Obama has unfortunately been consistently wrong.

Click here for a roundup of other reactions to the comment. Even if McCain's interview is not so bad, he's already had to spend time explaining away his "100 years" in Iraq comment. It still remains to be seen whether the "not too important" line will help him contextualise his stance, or simply provide useful fodder for Obama supporters.

Who do you agree with - John or Joe?
