SURI’S LOW-KEY HALLOWE’EN

Friday, October 31st, 2008

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were all smiles as they left their Manhattan apartment with a very unimpressed Suri on Friday night.

The trio appeared to en route to some Hallowe’en festivities as Suri carried a box of chocolate goodies.

Oddly enough, no one was dressed up for the occasion.

RUN, RYAN, RUN!

Friday, October 31st, 2008

After five months of training, Ryan Reynolds will be running in the ING New York City Marathon on Sunday.

Speaking during a press conference at the Tavern on the Green today, the newlywed revealed that his decision to run 26.2 miles is contrary to his better judgment. “I would sooner be prime minister of the moon than run another marathon,” he said. “I’ve been really lucky. I didn’t have any toenails fall off or anything disgusting like that. I still have all three nipples.”

As for whether wife Scarlett Johannson will be on hand to lend some support? “She’ll be on the road somewhere,” he says. “She better be.”

OPRAH VOTES EARLY

Friday, October 31st, 2008

Oprah just couldn’t wait. She was among the many voters casting their ballots early.

The devout Barack Obama supporter voted yesterday in Chicago, waiting “an hour and 12 minutes,” she said on her show today. “I heard two women saying, “There’s Oprah, you know who she’s voting for.”

Lady O said the experience was “emotional.”

So why early voting? Because she is taping shows Tuesday and was afraid she’d get stuck at the polls.

Oprah reportedly did a little dance as a group of polling workers together shouted out her name when it was her turn to vote.

AMY BREAKS FREE!

Friday, October 31st, 2008

Accompanied by her good friend Blake Wood and her father Mitch Winehouse, troubled singer Amy Winehouse kept the theatrics to a minimum as she left the London Clinic today en route to a private consultation.

Wino appeared aware and cognizant after just a week of treatment. It was less than a week ago that she was spotted giggling vacantly in a taxi as she was whisked off on her way to the London Clinic.

Amy’s spokesperson Chris Goodman says that his superstar client had “gone for some checkups” and claims that she merely had a chest infection.

In June, the 25-year-old singer was hospitalized with a severe lung ailment that her father attributed to smoking cigarettes and crack cocaine. Some reports even suggested she was suffering from the early stages of the incurable disease emphysema.

Miss Winehouse is expected back home today.

Friday, October 31st, 2008

Everyone on the set of The Martha Stewart Show today – including Martha, the audience and Gossip Girl star Blake Lively – wore a costume inspired by a statue.

Dressed as Cleopatra, the 21-year-old actress helped Martha as Medusa prepare a pumpkin-chocolate marble cake while chatting about Blake’s evening plans. Late night partying a slew of Hollywood hotspot? Don’t even think about it!

Says Blake: “I have to work tonight. We’re shooting Gossip Girl. So I’m going to try to have my own celebration. I’ve got some candy for our crew.”

A nearby spy tells FYB that Blake and co. will soon head to celeb eatery STK steakhouse in Manhattan to film Gossip Girl throughout the night.

DON VISITS THE HOLY LAND

Friday, October 31st, 2008

Straight from the What-The-Eff files, Don King made his first visit to Israel today as a participant in the 10th anniversary celebrations of Israeli President Shimon Peres’ Centre for Peace.

Thanks to his extravagant style and unique electric-shock hairstyle, the legendary 77-year-old boxing promoter immediately hit it off with the locals including a heat-packing guard.

In an interview with The Jerusalem Post, Don said that he had attended numerous Passover Seders over the years as he feels there is “great commonality” between Israel’s historic struggles and those of African Americans.

He said he wished more African Americans would “emulate and imitate the saga of the Jewish struggle.”

GUY’S NAKED HAND

Friday, October 31st, 2008

Madonna and A-Rod may be meeting up via helicopter at Jerry Seinfeld’s Hamptons home, but don’t tell that to Guy Ritchie – he couldn’t care less!

The British director looked happier than a pig in poop to show off his naked ring finger while leaving the Punchbowl in London last night.

Meanwhile, Madge has reportedly made an emotional phone-call to her estranged hubby on Tuesday, pleading to settle their divorce amicably, after an ultimatum by Kabbalah elders.

It was the first time they had spoken since the divorce was announced.

After tirelessly trying to remind him of the good times, Guy gave little away and reminded his ex that it was now in the hands of the lawyers. This caused Madonna to break down in tears in front of her staff.

The bone of contention? An agreement on access to their three children.
