Scarlett Johansson shows off her new diamond ring after announcing engagement to Ryan Reynolds
Scarlett Johansson has become engaged to her actor boyfriend Ryan Reynolds after a one year courtship. The Lost In Translation actress looked delighted as she showed off her new diamond ring for the first time as she attended the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala in New York City last night. The 23-year-old and Canadian beau Reynolds, 31, started dating in March 2007 - a month after the Just Friends actor ended his three-year engagement to singer Alanis Morissette.

Suri Cruise and Her Bottle: Is She Too Old?
Get Suri a sippy cup, doctors say. The 2-year-old - who was spotted sucking away on Monday in NYC - is too old for a bottle. "Most pediatricians recommend a bottle should be given up by age 1 - almost certainly by 18 months," Dr. Charlotte Cowan, author of the Dr. Hippo book series, tells Usmagazine.com. Suri's constant traveling could play a factor. "When babies are challenged, their diet is upset, their sleep is upset," Cowan says. "They will regress back to previous habits ... lingering with

TomKat and the Beckhams turn on some old-fashioned glamour - but was it TOO old for Posh?
Team Cruise and Team Beckham reunited on the red carpet last night at the social event of the season, the annual Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute Gala, which drew a who's who roll call of international stars. The quartet put aside rumours of a rift as they posed up together at the glamorous event, but in typical fashion, Posh did her best to steal the spotlight in a see-through white Armani dressing coat. But with her usual bob swept up into a carefully set chignon and heavily painted face, V

Oprah's couch is safe: Cruise more subdued during taping
Tom Cruise didn't jump on Oprah Winfrey's couch this time. The actor was in Chicago on Thursday to tape an episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show," a tribute to his showbiz career that took off 25 years ago when he danced in his underwear in "Risky Business." Audience members told The Associated Press that Cruise's demeanor was nothing like his infamous coach-jumping incident three years ago, when he made a spectacle of himself while proclaiming his love for now wife Katie Holmes. "He was really calm and col

Scientology Boot Camp for Katie Holmes
After two failed marriages, Tom Cruise went to a lot of trouble to find the perfect Scientology wife — and he's determined to make sure Katie Holmes maintains that position, even if it means she has to do time in a rigorous church boot camp! In the new issue of Star, we report exclusively on how Katie was recently secluded for three days at Gold Base, the remote, supersecret Scientology compound in Hemet, Calif., where she was put through a demanding schedule. "It included various tests, confessio

What IS Salman Rushdie's secret? This time, the ladies' man is nuzzling Scarlett Johansson's neck
Is Salman Rushdie the luckiest man on earth? Quite possibly, if these photos of him nuzzling Scarlett Johansson's neck in her new music video are anything to go by. The controversial author, who it's fair to say is not classically handsome, makes a cameo appearance in the 23-year-old actress-turned-singer's Falling Down, the first single from her upcoming album of Tom Waits covers. The surprise cameo is left unexplained; as is Scarlett's unusually bookish choice of outfit, complete with oversized gl

Phillip Noyce Likes Money
Phillip Noyce has got a few projects currently cluttering up his to-do list, from Mary Queen Of Scots (starring Scarlett Johansson), to American Pastoral and Dirt Music. And today he added another fresh flick to the pile. The Australian director is in talks with DreamWorks to direct The Art Of Making Money, a true-life tale which revolves around Art Williams, the alias of a Chicago-based counterfeiter who used state-of-the-art techniques to produce over $10 million of fake money in a seven-year period.

Tom Cruise tells Oprah he wants more challenges
Hollywood's stars paid tribute to Tom Cruise on Monday's Oprah Winfrey television show, with the actor saying he hoped for more challenging roles and to work with the likes of Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro. In the second of two interviews with Cruise, Winfrey aired highlights since the actor's breakthrough role 25 years in 1983's "Risky Business," including a seemingly death-defying stunt from "Mission: Impossible 2" in which a bare-chested Cruise leaps across a rocky cliff. Cruise said he dangled from

Mission: Impossible 4?
Coming off the box office blunder Lions for Lambs, and looking towards a potential disaster with Valkyrie, Tom Cruise needs another big hit, and he needs it soon. Everyone in Hollywood pretty much assumes that Cruise will push another Mission: Impossible film into production before the release of Bryan Singer’s historical thriller early next year. Now an insider pretty much confirms our suspicions, telling Life & Style Magazine, “Tom will make M:I 4 once Paramount greenlights the script. There will m

Naomi Watts: Nicole and I 'Compare Notes' on Pregnancy
Nicole Kidman is preparing to give birth for the first time – and luckily she has Naomi Watts to talk her through it. "Whenever you're pregnant, you always call on your pregnant friends and compare notes," the 39-year-old Watts – who gave birth to son Alexander Pete last July – told PEOPLE Monday at a press conference to discuss her new role as the face of Angel, a fragrance by designer Thierry Mugler. "It's what happens in friendship." So will Kidman, 40 – who's expecting her first child wit

Cher was Crazy for Tom Cruise
It isn’t hard to believe but almost twenty years ago, legendary singer, Cher and Tom Cruise had an affair. Obviously both were younger and had a lot more energy and she fell head over hills for the man that flew the jets. They only dated for a few months before he moved on and married Mimi Rogers. The two met during a fund-raising at the White House and age didn’t matter back then either, she was only 39 and he was 23. Marie Claire (magazine) asked what she thought of him: “He was shy. He

New Photos: Coen Brother's Burn After Reading
The Coen Brother's hotly anticipated Burn After Reading (tentatively titled) is getting a lot of love this week. First we learn (via Yahoo) that the film, with its heavyweight cast of John Malkovich, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Tilda Swinton and Frances McDormand, will headline the Venice Film Festival on August 27th. And today we get some new photos of these characters in what looks to be a dark comedy the likes of which only the Coen's could pull off. Ready to start the hype for this year's Coen Brothers h

George Clooney and Sarah Larson very matchy-match at Met Benefit
For my money, George Clooney and Sarah Larson make a perfectly coordinated couple in matching black and white Armani at the Gala Benefit. Even their golden tans match. Next stop, a wedding chapel in Italy? C'mon, it's a no-brainer. Armani will do the wedding attire. Have the party at the Lake Como villa. I think George is ready to give up the bachelor life for this one. Rumor is he's getting pretty serious with Sarah. But more importantly, do you like their Metropolitan Museum Costume Institut

Cleese and Schiff talk politics
An anti-Bush tirade from Whoopi Goldberg laced with profanity might have hurt John Kerry's presidential candidacy four years ago. More recently, George Clooney said he'll support Barack Obama any way he can, even if it means keeping his distance. These are just a few examples that have left politically minded celebrities conflicted about their role in choosing the next U.S. president, and it was recently up to an unlikely pair of actors to sort it all out: comedian John Cleese and Richard Schiff of "The
