Tom just recently received the Humanitarian Award at the 2011 Wiesenthal Center National Tribute Dinner in Beverly Hills. The Jewish organization prouds itself for its human rights advocacy on confronting racism. The actor was cited and honored for being a dedicated philantrophist.

Now back to the music, 48 year old Cruise is playing the role of Stacie Jaxx and excitedly claims he has been learning a lot of things lately to do his role some good justice. Having no musical experience with a guitar, he has been juggling lessons between electric guitar, acoustic guitar and singing! Kinda hard to imagine Tom Cruise belting out in screams and a pair of pleather tight jeans. Ha! Rock of Ages is slated to start shooting this month.

You gotta hand it to the guy who jumps on a couch wrapped in a total lovestruck high and marries this doe-eyed long lithed cutie who’s idolized him for years. And then, he buys his own sonogram machine to monitor his first born, yet still manages to flip allover along his new age beliefs. The man certainly has his own thing going.

Giving a bit of a hint on Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, Tom Cruise is definitely keen to see how his co-produced film will reflect a new and distinct impression from its past sequels. The movie is scheduled for it’s release in December 2011.

Tom Cruise took a brilliant turn as Les Grossman in Tropic Thunder and then he stole the show with that character at this years MTV Movie Awards, so it should come as no surprise that Grossman is getting his own full length feature film.

The film, a partnership between Paramount and MTV will star Cruise alongside Tropic Thunder co-star Ben Stiller and Stuart Cornfeld of Red Hour Films, with the screenplay being penned by Michael Bacall.

Stiller released a statement about the project:

"Les Grossman's life story is an inspiring tale of the human class struggle to achieve greatness against all odds. He has assured me he plans to quote 'F**king kill the sh*t out of this movie and make Citizen f**king Kane look like a piece of crap home movie by the time we are done.' I am honored to be working with him."

Adding to the humor of the fictional character Paramount Film Group president, Adam Goodman got in on the act:

"Everything I learned in this business, I've learned from Les. I started out as his assistant, and from the first day he threw his desk at me when I got his lunch order wrong, I have loved him like a father."

Personally I think Les Grossman is one of Cruise's best characters to date and I can't wait to see what ends up happening to Grossman in the film.

What do you think about the idea of a full length adaptation?

It’s a little too late to be looking for the golden egg, but Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise’s little girl Suri is still in the spirit of Easter.

The tot, who’s turning 4 this month, was spotted wearing bunny ears and matching bunny slippers as she and her mom were out for a walk around Union Square in New York City last Saturday.

Suri seemed to enjoy the attention she was getting as people admired her cute bunny gear. Katie was also enjoying the sunny weather as they went shopping around Manhattan. They were spotted visiting the ABC Carpet & Home Co. store. Does Tom need new summer fixtures?

Suri's looking more like her pretty mom Katie these days. Remember those cute bangs she sported when she was a toddler?

It’s official. Not only will he produce the third sequel, Tom Cruise will also reprise his role as Ethan Hunt in Mission Impossible 4. According to reports, the movie is set to be released on Memorial Day weekend in 2011.

Josh Applebaum and Andre Nemec were pegged as screenwriters. While 47-year-old Cruise is still on the hunt for a new director, Mission Impossible 3’s director JJ Abrams will be sitting this one out.

Who do you think should direct MI4?

Knight And Day is coming out on July 2…

…while Date Night is coming out on April 9.

Another spy movie spoof? While Tom Cruise is the king of me-against-the-world action flicks, the tandem of Steve Carell and Tina Fey will undoubtedly reign the comedy department. And since both spy movies are aiming for the funnies, my money’s on Date Night.

Tom Cruise seems to want to beat Brangelina at their own game. He is reported to have said that if he had his way, he’d have a bunch of 10 little TomKats running around. And what does Katie Holmes have to say about this? No word on that yet.

She’s just given birth to twins, but that’s not slowing Angelina Jolie down. There are talks of her replacing Tom Cruise in a new spy flick. (They’re reworking the character into a female.)

Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman may have gone their separate lives, but the split seems amicable. TomKat sent their congratulations — and a load of baby gifts to baby Sunday.

Tom Cruise fan? The actor launched his own official website. Find loads of photos and other updates. Gosh. As if we aren’t sick of photos of Suri and Katie flooding the internet. But, the good news is, if he plans to jump on another coach we know the first place to look.

Exclaimed Will Smith who has been increasingly rumored to be a Scientologist.

“I am a Christian, I am a student of all religions. And I respect all people and all paths.” He insisted after a magazine reported that he was allegedly more active with the contoversial “religion”

Amen to that. It would be such a shame if Will became as annoyingly weird as the TomKat.

Enough with the sad Hollywood tales of drug overdoses and nervous breakdowns.

Let’s look at the glamorous and fun side of the celebrity scene — and no one does glamour better than these people. Madonna (remember when we thought she was a bad girl? she looks lke Mother Teresa compared to Britney) threw a star studded benefit for UNICEF, co-sponsored by Gucci. Next to here are the power couple Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, and Madonna’s now 11 year old daughter, Lourdes. Rosie O’Donnell’s there, too — though she won’t be touching the alcohol; she says she’s quit drinking.

All this buzz about Tom Cruise for President. Not such a bad idea — his smile may just ease the diplomatic mess created by the Bush administration, though he just has to stop jumping up and down couches to be taken seriously by the G7.  Katie would make the cutest First Lady since the young Jackie O, complete with the hint of disturbing family secrets. (The Church of Scientology being only slightly less foreboding than the Mafia.)

Looking distinctly German, Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes were spotted enjoying a long digger at Vietnamese restaurant Si An.

The couple & baby Suri are currently in Berlin, awaiting Cruise’s new movie Valkyrie to wrap up.

You know, I can’t help but say this, even though the aliens are going to come down & take my soul once I do, Tom doesn’t look so horrible in this picture, does he?  More like a respectable German boy you would bring back to mom….

Guess who’s lining up to be the newest young celebrity star?  Suri Cruise!  Yep, Katie Holmes & Tom Cruise’s baby girl is apparently ready for a modeling career at the ripe old age of one.

As rumor has it, the youngest Cruise is slated to become the next face of Baby Gap.  To be honest, I can’t wait to see the first ads ’cause Suri looks like such a cutie; but it’s another destructive child star in the making, is it not?

Besides probably teaching the young tot all about the ins & out of Scientology, daddy Tom Cruise & mama Katie Holmes were seen trying to teach baby Suri to get used to the water.

The power trio were spotted off the coast of Sardinia, Italy dunking little Suri into the waves.  I don’t know about you, but Suri rather looks a little surly. 

All grown up Katie Holmes was spotted checking out Germany’s capital city’s boutiques.

Holmes flew back to Berlin after welcoming close pals David & Vicotoria Beckham to Los Angeles.  Hubby Tom Cruise is still working on filming for the movie Valkyrie in Berlin & wants to keep Holmes close by & safe, from snatchers that might help her come to her senses…

David & wife Victoria “Posh” Beckham were spotted out & about Beverly Hills on Monday.

The trio, with 4-year-old Romeo in tow, were seen scouting out the area for a spot of lunch & some good shopping fun.  Hilariously, Victoria was also trying to give a shout out to family friend Tom Cruise, as she had her tank top embroidered with Jerry Maguire catchphrase, ”Show me the money.”

That’s just too cute, guys.

Mom/wife/actress/Scientologist Katie Holmes was spotted walking the red carpet for the New York premiere of Hairspray on Monday.

Holmes made a surprise appearance at the Ziegfeld Theatre in a sexy black mini dress.  The 28-year-old star came to support the entire cast of the film, but most especially fellow Scientologist John Travolta.

Although Katie looked fabulous at the event, I can’t help but try to peer into her eyes for some glimmer of happiness.  You tell me.

Wow!  Hasn’t adorable Suri Cruise just turned into the cutest of celeb kids?

Even with parents like robomom Katie Holmes & Scientologist Tom Cruise, Suri has managed to beat all odd with her apple-cheeked sweetness. 

Suri & family were recently spotted in Germany where daddy Tom is filming scenes for his Hitler assassin film, Valkayrie. 

I think I found something else to love about the fair country of Germany, they too also hate Scientologist Tom Cruise.  Well, I guess hate is a strong word, maybe just a very strong dislike.

Anyhoo, apparently Cruise was set to star in a movie about a plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler, but it appears as if Germany is not allowing the directors to film at military sites due to Tom being a Scientologist.  Knew that was going to get him into trouble one day…

Germany does not recognize the Church of Scientology because they feel it’s really just a sneaky way of getting money out of folks, and I’m not sure that they’re that far away from the truth. 

A German military spokesman stated that the directors “will not be allowed to film at German military sites if Count Stauffenberg is played by Tom Cruise, who has publicly professed to being a member of the Scientology cult”.

Well, Tom, it looks like you’ve finally met your match, Germany.

According to reports, Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes plan on getting pregnant again pretty soon.  After Katie gave birth to baby Suri, the Hollywood couple was hooked.

Life & Style is reporting that TomKat will be moving into their new $35 million mansion in June & will be turning one of the seven bedrooms into a nursery.  Gaw!  And Katie just hustled to get that baby weight off!

When you think of model Brooke Shields, you probably think of that infamous, public battle that she had with Tom Cruise or perhaps you think of postpardom depression itself.

Either way, you more than likely don’t think of Brooke as hilarous or even that funny, but this video (see it here) by FunnyOrDie.com is going to change all that.  Quite literately, Brooke is off the damn hook.

From the folks who brought us that Will Ferrell landlord short, comes Shields’ Playground Tales.  The video stars the former model as a suburban mother who tries to dispense wisdom among the swing sets of life.

In the short, Brooke warns her daughter to “check yourself before you wreck yourself”, something I am sure we all yell to our own kids on the playground. 

Sheilds’ daughter settles down a bit, telling a playmate that her mom’s “pimp hand is way strong.”

Hil-freeking-arious.
