I thought that picture of Leo looked old -- he's still cute but not that young looking any more. I had heard the same thing -- he was attacked with a broken bottle. Poor thing! That ***** better not have scarred our adorable Leo! As for Tom's over reaction. Sure it wasn't a nice thing to do, but in this "punked" age, it's not surprising. Tom just couldn't believe anyone would _dare_ try to punk him. Must be fun to have such a huge ego.

OK, sooo... If I show up to Hermes after they close and they turn me away, will they issue a public apology? http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/TV/06/22/oprah.apology/index.html I'm so freaking sick of this celebrity obsessed culture. Yes, I understand it. Yes, I even work in it. But as a human being, I'm completely sick of it. I'm ashamed every Friday when I have to buy all the entertainment magazines for my work (yes, I DO need to buy them for my work), but I hate paying any $ towards the madness. I need a new career. Rant over. Now Oprah, buy me a Hermes enamel bracelet, please.

Hermes should apologize, The parisians are notoriously rude and bigotted. I am absolutely confident they thought she was a Morroccan and wouldnt let her in the store. I dont think you would have the same problem.

Katie Holmes Dropped From Batman Sequel 6/20/05 Christian Bale, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman have signed to star in a second Batman Begins movie, but love interest Katie Holmes has been dropped. Movie bosses are thrilled with the response to Batman Begins - it took $46.9 million (#24.6 million) in its first weekend (17-19JUN05) at the US box office - and have snapped up the film's stars for a sequel. Bale as Batman was the first to put pen to paper, followed by Caine as butler Alfred and Freeman as Bruce Wayne's business associate Lucius Fox. But Holmes wont reprise her role as district attorney Rachel Dawes - reportedly because Warner Brothers is angry her engagement to Tom Cruise has stolen media attention away from the movie. A source tells Page Six, "Everyone is in agreement that the movie's strength is with Christian Bale, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman." Adding of Holmes, "She won't be in the sequel... the next romantic interest will be a much stronger actress. "Warner is happy that people are now focusing on who'll be playing the Joker rather than Katie and Tom." LINK

Maybe Hermes is sick of this celebrity-obsessed culture too, and thought: "Vas te faire foudre Oprah!! We closed 15 minutes ago, and we want to go home. Who the heck do you think you are to have a store open after hours just because you want to buy a last minute present?! Tina Turner doesn't need YOU to buy HER a watch!" I can fantasize, can't I?

LOL EL!! And Yankee, alas, no present from Hermes for you. Apparently Oprah has announced she will no longer be spending any money at Hermes - this will be an expensive incident for them, methinks!!

Haven't read the article, but... If Hermes was CLOSED and Oprah wanted to go in after hours, why does she get offended when they don't open up for her? Is her sense of entitlement so huge that she no longer thinks of those who actually would have to say after hours to help her? Those who may want to go home to their families after having worked a long day? Sheesh! (Sorry... I've never been a fan of Oprah. This just caps it!)

well I could tell you all a story about Oprah and it is a beaut, but in this case, my understanding is that she went to hermes and they claimed they were closed for a private party. It wasnt after hours.

Do tell Maris!!! I heard the private party aspect of the story too, and that the private party was going on AFTER hours. In any case, Oprah needs to find some new staff, if she's having to do her OWN shopping!! Gosh!!

That was my point exactly, Costacat. Though it is certainly NOT only Oprah who thinks this sort of treatment is their right as celebrities. And for what it's worth, here's the excerpt from the article: "The store said the incident occurred on June 14 around 6:45 p.m., about 15 minutes after the store closed."

I really hope no one turns this into a racial incident. I doubt many recognize her in France, especially a male security guard who has been told to inform customers that a private party was in preparation. We don't even know how she reacted. So far this is all just gossip. She does not strike me as one who would get up a head of steam about not getting special priviledges.

This is the gossip thread, as I've been reminded many times. Don't need to know how she reacted. You can say anything you want about her. This thread seems to be fair game for bashing.

Run, Katie, Run!!!!!!!!! This morning on the Celebrity Top 5, it was said that Tom is having Katie change her name to just Kate, although Katie says she is doing this on her own to get more mature roles. Good Morning America did a story about Scientology and Tom/Katie today but I only caught the very end.

Why don't they just go away somewhere and get out of the limelight for awhile? All these interviews and public appearances are not helping matters. It's true the media will follow them anyways, but they are stirring up the frenzy. Next we'll hear they're complaining about all the media attention!

... as Twiggyish was saying ... 'War' is hell for Cruise press pack Tom Cruise must be getting sick of reading those snarky stories about his romance with Katie Holmes. Despite his public smile, the actor has banished virtually all print reporters - including your humble gossip-slingers - from the New York premiere of his movie "War of the Worlds" tonight. A Paramount rep says only one print outlet has been deemed housebroken enough to tread the red carpet. Which outlet is that? "It's nobody's business," the rep told us, though we understand the exclusve has gone to People magazine. Only the exclusive isn't that exclusive. More than 30 carefully vetted TV crews are also expected. Cruise did deign to meet with print reporters yesterday at the Essex House. But he seemed a little testy when someone asked how he "popped the question" to Holmes at the Eiffel Tower last week. "I didn't know I needed to pop it," he said. "Is that a thing?" Director Steven Spielberg interjected, "Wow, it was 20 minutes before someone asked [that question]." LINK

Mostly I feel bad for Spielberg and his movie. I hope we all aren't too sick of Tom to want to see his flick.

Tom was on the Today Show, and Matt Lauer was trying to pin him down on his view that Brooke Shields should not have taken medication for depression. Tom was not happy that someone didn't completely agree with him--go Matt! Matt was telling him he isnt an expert on this subject and shouldn't tell people what to do.

When Lauer mentioned Cruise's earlier criticism of Brooke Shields for taking anti-depressants, Cruise told the "Today" show co-host he didn't know what he was talking about. "You don't know the history of psychiatry. I do," Cruise said. The interview became more heated when Lauer, who said he knew people who had been helped by the attention-deficit disorder drug Ritalin, asked Cruise about the effects of the drug. "Matt, Matt, you don't even — you're glib," Cruise responded. "You don't even know what Ritalin is. If you start talking about chemical imbalance, you have to evaluate and read the research papers on how they came up with these theories, Matt, OK. That's what I've done."
