Lindsay Lohan's Holiday Shopping Spree

Celebrity News - Spending a little of her hard-earned cash, Lindsay Lohan closed out the week with a holiday shopping spree in Beverly Hills on Friday (December 16).
The "Georgia Rule" starlet stylishly strutted out of Barney's New York and towards her valeted ride after browsing the department store's selections.

The sighting comes the very same day in which LiLo's cover issue of Playboy magazine hit newsstands.
Of the Marilyn Monroe inspired spread, the men's magazine's founder Hugh Hefner told E!, "She had done semi-nudes before. I wanted to do something that would be memorable. So what is more natural, since she is a huge fan of Marilyn Monroe, than do something that is a tribute to the red-velvet, Tom Kelley photo shot of Marilyn Monroe that was our very first Playmate?"
Noting that Lohan was hesitant to shed her clothes at first, Hef continued, "I think it was essentially mama and the folks around her that kept pushing for less nudity. And I said, 'We're doing a nude pictorial here. We're going to do it in a very classy way and we're going to do it in a way which it will not be forgotten."

In Dance Studio Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were Side-by-Side

Celebrity News - Closing out the work week with a Big Apple excursion, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were side-by-side in New York City on Friday evening (December 16).

The "Top Gun" stud lovingly held his "Mad Money" wife's hand as the pair trekked over to a local dance studio while braving the wintry east coast weather.
The outing comes as Tom just recently returned to the States following an overseas press tour for his upcoming film "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol".

Of the motion picture, Cruise's co-star Jeremy Renner recently spoke to Movie Line about what he learned from the Hollywood legend.
Renner dished, "He and I have the same work ethic but his just resonates on a higher level because he has done so many action movies and this was just my first one. He set a really high bar for me, which is great, because now the bar is high for the next three action movies that I’ll do."
He added, "I was willing. I trained so that I was able. Tom really got me on a regimen program so I would not get injured. He gave me an analogy that working on these movies was like working as a professional athlete. I took it a step further thinking that in any professional sport, there is a second string that comes in if you get injured. But in cinema, there isn’t a second string Ethan Hunt that rolls in. So we can’t get hurt. Most of the training, outside of learning a discipline like wire practice, was not getting injured.

Because you’re doing things on a wire that your body just isn’t used to doing. It’s all about preparation. It was never a competition or anything — he just set a really high bar to live up to and I gave it a go."

James Bond Star Daniel Craig Talks “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”

Celebrity Gossip - As part of his intense promotional run, Daniel Craig took time to chat with MTV about his upcoming film "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo".

The 43-year-old English actor, who was spotted making TV appearances in NYC earlier today (December 16), first spoke about what drew him to the project.

raig dished, "Look, I'm a David Fincher fan, so it was an easy choice to make when accepting this film. It's a great story. It's an adult movie. The babysitters are going to get, hopefully, a lot of money out of this film. That's why I wanted to get involved."

Of his newcomer actress co-star, Rooney Mara, Daniel told, "We all knew she was good. She's just committed as an actress, and she made all of the right choices with David's help and everyone else's help. She's just blossomed as somebody. As I said, we knew from the beginning that she was good enough — it was everyone else who had the problem." 

"The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" is set to open in theaters next week on December 20th.
