Katie Holmes and daughter Suri Cruise spent some just-us-girls time together in Paris on Thursday. At some point Katie fell and scraped her knee. They went back to the hotel to clean up and change clothes. On the way back to the hotel, Suri napped on her mama’s shoulder.

You have to admit, these are really cute mother/daughter photos, especially since Crazy Tom wasn’t around.

While they were out they went to the Louvre Museum and Avenue Montaigne. They also made stops at Fendi and Lanvin.

Reese Witherspoon is set to be paid $5 million more than the former highest paid actress, Julia Roberts, to star in the horror film, Our Family Trouble. She’s getting $29 million for the film. Her production company, Type A, is also producing the film so she’s making out like a bandit.

I’m just glad that Julia Roberts doesn’t hold that position anymore. I hear she’s a mega-bitch and her ‘America’s sweetheart’ status is all hype. Plus, I just don’t like her which is reason enough for me. Julia’s from Atlanta and worked to get rid of her accent - bitch. I quit liking her when I heard her in a movie using that weird fake southern accent actors use when they are trying to act southern. You know the fake accent, almost all of them use it like they think that’s what southerners actually sound like. I’ve NEVER heard anyone in real life sound like that. It grates on your nerves. I thought, the girl is FROM Atlanta and she can’t even FAKE a southern accent? DAMN!

On the other hand, I hear Reese is actually a nice person and I do like her. Plus, she doesn’t try to hide her southern accent and that’s a definite plus with me.

Amy Winehouse and her husband had a terrible fight in the early morning hours of Thursday and they both emerged bruised and bloodied. Amy claims she was cutting herself and her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, tried to stop her.

This seems to be a pattern with the two. She gets into trouble, he ‘rescues’ her and they both get into trouble together. She was in rehab recently following an overdose and he ‘rescued’ her from rehab and they went bar hopping together.

After the fight that left them both cut and bloody, both sets of their parents got together to try to intervene in an attempt to rescue both of them.

The desperate families of Amy Winehouse and her drug using husband are keeping a round-the-clock vigil on the couple - amid fears they are risking their lives with their addictions.

The exasperated in-laws convened following a violent, unseemly brawl between the couple in which both parties emerged bruised, bloodied and battered.

Both Blake Fielder-Civil’s parents, Georgette and Giles, the 23-year-old singer’s father, Mitch, have imposed strict new rules on the pair in a last-ditch attempt to keep them away from drugs – and each other.

As well monitoring them at all times, the families are also insisting on separate bedrooms.

The part that really bothered me (as though there’s anything in this story that isn’t just awful) is her twisted thinking in her defense of her husband. This is a very sick relationship any way you cut it (no pun intended).

Last night (RI), however, Miss Winehouse publicly defended her husband through a series of texts to American gossip columnist, Perez, claiming that the music producer had saved her life. “Blake is the best man in the world,” she wrote.

“We would never ever harm each other… I was cutting myself after he found me in our room about to do drugs with a call girl and rightly said I wasn’t good enough for him. I lost it and he saved my life.

“He did not and never has hurt me. He has such a hard time and he so supportive. He is an amazing man who saved my life again and got cut badly for his troubles.

“I’ll be alright. I need to fight my man’s corner for him though.”

They are obviously not just addicted to drugs but to each other and to the sickness of their relationship. I really don’t see how she is going to survive.

If you are going to make a movie about the life of Queen Elizabeth I, who else could you get to play the role of the Tudor Queen but Cate Blanchett? No one else could do it, of course. Not after her Oscar winning performance as the Queen in Elizabeth I.

At first Blanchett wasn’t interested in reprising her break out role, but after reading the script decided she would. The first movie (1998) focused on the young Queen and her early reign. The new movie, Elizabeth: The Golden Age, focuses on an older Elizabeth I and her relationship with adventurer Sir Walter Raleigh.

Really, she is just fantastic in that role. I can’t imagine anyone else playing the part convincingly at all after her Elizabeth I performance. I think she’s one of the greatest actresses of our time.

Maple Juice is sharing this photo of Kurt Russell hanging loose somewhere in Vancouver (I guess).

If you want to see a middle-aged white guy doing the full monty you can see it beneath the jump or over at Maple Juice. I’m just wondering why she put the red smiley face with tongue hanging out over the …. the …. delicate area.

After seeing the photo, I’m also understanding why the guy walks a little bow legged. I mean, if that’s what he looks like just swinging through his yard, then …. oh, well …. never mind. I mean … just damn ….

Other than that, I’m pretty much speechless….

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Mick and Bianca Jagger’s little girl, Jade, likes to spend time on Cala Pluma beach near her home on Ibiza.

She’s been photographed nude on the beach before and there are plenty of nude beaches on Ibiza, so I’m not really sure what the big deal is. It doesn’t seem to bother her a bit. She’s obviously accustomed to going nude - there sure aren’t any tan lines on her.

Apparently, she had quite a time on a trans-Atlantic flight recently when she and her friend’s drunken escapades created havoc in the first class section.

Hey, you can do things like that when your Mick Jagger’s daughter. Not to mention, this woman has had two kids! If you’ve had two kids and look this good then I say get out on the beach.

Marilyn Manson’s girlfriend, Evan Rachel Wood looks great in this photo shoot for the cover of the September issue of Nylon Magazine. Nylon quotes Evan as saying:

I’d love to [make an album] but I’ve never met people who didn’t want to turn me into some pop diva.

Uh. Okay. Whatever.

Still, is it just me or do this girl and Marilyn Manson look like they don’t go together?
