Fashion Face-Off: Suri vs. Kate and Jen
How do you know you're a 2-year-old with serious style? When you're rocking the same clothes as A-listers Kate Hudson and Jennifer Garner.
Kate wore her spaghetti-strap dress while on a coffee run in NYC, and an expectant Jen paired her tank with jeans while house hunting in Brentwood.
And little Suri Cruise kept it age-appropriate in a short-sleeve, lace-front-dress version during a shopping trip to Hermès with mommy Katie Holmes yesterday.
So who rocked this Juicy Couture print best? Sound off below...
Lindsay Lohan Does the Katie but Sexier
Lindsay knows we’re cool with her dating Samantha Ronson and also that we’re pretty accustomed to her daily shopping paparazzi show. But proving she’s one of the greatest self-promoters of our time, she throws in a little extra sumthin' so that we have to take notice again.
And what’s one failproof way to catch our attention? Rolled jeans. Works every time.
Channeling Katie Holmes, whose descent into rolled denim we've tediously catalogued here, Linds does the ol’ boyfriend jean roll. But she ditches Kate’s baggy cardigans for a sheer top and, of course, goes braless. That's our girl!
Can Suri Cruise Even See Past Those Bangs?
Why don't Katie and Tom cut Suri's bangs an appropriate length so she can actually see where she is going?
—Trish, Calgary, Alberta, Canada
Now, now. There are always celebrity children who are worse off. At least Suri didn't get a Gwen Stefani boy sprout, or, in the case of Kate Hudson's son, Ryder, a Gregg Allman.
Yes, Suri's bangs may seem a bit long. But then again, you must realize that Suri is not of our world, and not just because her famous dad causes regular folks to collapse in his starry presence. There's also a very good chance we've caught Suri in between hairstyles. Let me explain...
Burning Q's: Aniston's Smokin' & Zefron's Baby
I wanna know if Jennifer Aniston smokes. I've read she does, but I haven't seen one single picture of her smoking. Thanks for your answer, B!tch!
— Vanesa, Argentina
E!'s own Matt Donnelly, better known as my B!tchling, says he saw her smoking within the past month—in Miami, to be specific. So there. Make your peace with this scorching fact and enjoy still more of my answers to your Burning Qs!
Hey! I heard Vanessa Hudgens is pregnant with Zac Efron's baby! Is that true?
— Bonello
Broadway Smackdown: Katie Tops Harry Potter
The results are in and it's official. Katie Holmes is the queen of Broadway.
In its first full week of performances, the Holmes-powered revival of Arthur Miller's All My Sons was the hottest dramatic ticket on the Great White Way, grossing $684,002 for the week ended Sunday, according to Playbill.com.
Costarring John Lithgow, Dianne Wiest and Patrick Wilson, All My Sons is still in previews until Oct. 16. But due in part to the buzz (and controversy) surrounding Holmes' debut, the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre was nearly full last week; 97.6 percent of its 1,052 seats were sold at an average ticket price of $83.31.
The next closest drama was another Hollywood star vehicle: the Daniel Radcliffe-led revival of Equus. Harry Potter's clothes-eschewing alter ego brought in $597,346 at the Broadhurst last week. The theater, which has 1,206 seats, had 65.3 percent of its tickets sold at an average of $94.76 apiece.
Still, the dramas aren't in the same league as the megamusicals. Wicked tallied nearly $1.4 million in ticket sales last week, while Jersey Boys raked in about $1.1 million.

Tom, Fans, Protesters Greet Katie on Broadway
Those weren't all Arthur Miller fans queuing up on Broadway tonight.
More than two dozen protesters from the anti-Scientology group Anonymous joined the throng Thursday outside New York's Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre, where Katie Holmes was starring—wonderfully, according to Tom Cruise—in her first preview performance of All My Sons.
“We are not boycotting Katie, we are not boycotting the play, we are protesting Scientology," a member of the group shouted. "It is evil. Scientology kills people. It follows you home at night. It is perverted.”
People in the crowd donned V for Vendetta-style masks and wielded signs that read "Scientology Kills" and "Free Katie."
"We aren't protesting Katie," one demonstrator told the New York Daily News. "But Scientology is a cult and once you become a member you can't leave, and we've heard that Katie isn't able to leave because of Tom Cruise."
None of which was going to deter Cruise from seeing his wife make her Broadway debut, of course.
Katie's Baggy Jeans Find Retail Success
Katie Holmes took New York City by storm this summer with one pair of very special boyfriend jeans, rolled in just the right way to draw maximum attention.
Once we became immune to their hideousness, we actually started to warm up to the baggy denim. And we're not the only ones. A bunch of people actually want a pair of their very own.
Prps, Katie's luxury denim brand of choice, has reportedly sold out of all their boyfriend jeans at stores before the company even officially launched their women’s line. On a more affordable end, have you been to a Gap lately? It looks like Katie's wardrobe exploded into hundreds of wide-legged jeans and oversize cardigans there.
So get ready to bring the frump this fall—just be sure to wear a fabulous pair of heels as documented by Katie in our very special pegged-legged denim gallery.
Burning Qs: Keanu Demystified & Tintin Scoop
Does A-list status automatically apply to that actor's partner if he/she is also in the biz? For example, are Jada Pinkett-Smith and Katie Holmes also considered A-list just like their husbands? Thanks!
—T. Freckleton
No. A-list status comes only from a star's bankability and pay scale, not his or her partner in paparazzi-dodging. Otherwise Tony Parker would have his own prime-time soap opera.
Explain Keanu Reeves. If he's almost universally acknowledged as being a bad actor, why does he keep getting work?

Suri Cruise: Most Likely to Be...
Yesterday we voted Kingston Rossdale as most likely to wind up as a superhip, superawesome DJ. We didn’t see many objections from you, so let’s continue our celebrity baby fan fiction with one of our favorite obsessions here—Suri Cruise.
Already sporting Burberry and Armani dresses with killer Mary Janes, Suri’s definitely going to know fashion. This paired with an interesting Tom Cruise upbringing will most likely cause Miss Cruise to develop a fashion sense light-years ahead of the average human being—thus sending her into bizarro Olsen twin territory. Not a bad place to be, albeit lonely.
And that’s why Suri gets our vote for Most Likely to Become a Highly Criticized but Still Respected Fashion Icon. Never fear, S.Cru (we’re still working the nickname, btw), we’ll always have your back—no matter what crazy rags you wear on your Starbucks runs.
Burning Q's: Dish on Duds & Katie's Play Date
Why is it that celebrities are always wearing the big fashion styles before us little people? Do designers let them know beforehand what the new styles will be, or are they just first to buy the clothes once they hit the stores?
—Mary
The designers don't just "let them know" and then leave the actresses to forage in the wilderness, hoping to find the clothes—although that certainly would make for fine prime time entertainment. No, dear, the labels send the celebrities clothes ahead of season, usually through a stylist like Rachel Zoe, who has worked with Keira Knightley and LiLo. A good celebrity stylist would eviscerate a dolphin if it meant snagging next season's It bag before it hit stores. Same deal with dresses and all the rest.

"Wow, You're Taller Than My Dad and More Lifelike Than My Mom!"
That's the caption that user killedbyllamas came up with to describe über-cute Suri Cruise as she appeared to carry on a conversation with a doll at the Bonpoint children's boutique in New York City.
But there were so many worthy snarks and cute riffs that we wanted to share a few more:
Liz: "You had me at hello!"
Collslee: "Between you, and mom and dad, you seem very real and down-to-earth."
Julie: "Hey! I'm the doll here, see."
Chris: "Listen, here's the deal, I will stay here and you go with the nice robot lady pinching your butt. OK?"
tina_dap: "Stick with me kid and you'll go places!"
Buck McGuck: "You can't handle the twoof!"
culbert123: "I'm serious! Tom Cruise is my dad."
The Stars Say: Roll Them Jeans
All the cool ladies in Hollywood are rolling their jeans, which means we better start if there's any hope of being accepted into their exclusive clique.
On a trend scale from one (being those awful jumpsuits everyone's all about lately) to 10 (being adorable high-waisted pencil skirts), jean rolling probably falls around a seven. It's not horribly offensive, and it can be highly practical in some situations.
A few tips learned from the women above...
