Tom Cruise, who has been in Boston, MA for the past week or so filming his new movie Wichita with co-star Cameron Diaz and others, was spotted getting in a bit of shooting practice at a gun range earlier today … behold:

Yeah, I dunno about you but the sight of Tom Cruise wielding a weapon like this scares the hell out of me. The fact that he regularly hones his skills to remain a sharpshooter is terrifying … and the most likely reason that Katie Holmes hasn’t packed up her robot baby and made a run for it. I totally get that this gun practice is necessary for the role in his new movie but … Tom Cruise + handgun = EEP!!

Angelina Jolie was reunited with her first child, Maddox Chivan, in France today after spending some time apart in the past week or so. Maddox traveled to the US with his father Brad Pitt and Ange was left home with the rest of the kiddies … but before Brad, the twins, Shiloh, Pax and Zahara — it was just Angelina and Maddox:

As you can see, Angelina purchased a little suction cup dart gun for her little man and kinda looks pregs in this dress. I’m pretty sure she’s not pregs but, well, the outfit does look suspicious. In the end, tho, it’s just Angelina and Maddox … just like it’s been from the start. These two go way back … it’s nice to see them out and about enjoying some alone time together.

David and I are keeping things real chill on our visit to San Francisco, CA. We spent most of yesterday working and then ventured out with David’s brother Aram for dinner and a bit of shopping. I’m trying to find the perfect thing to wear to the Kylie Minogue concert tomorrow night and thus far … no luck. But we did come up on these very cool life-size costumes from the various Batman movies:

It’s coooooold here in SF at night so I had to pick up a hoodie (to add to the countless hoodies I already have in my closet … back home). We talked about seeing a movie but ended up going out for coffee and then TV-watchin’. It’s just really nice being able to spend time with Aram so it’s been a great visit thus far.

David and I are gonna try to meet up with your friend Molly tonight and then have a romantic dinner just the two of us … should be fun.

Here are a few new posters for The Twilight Saga: New Moon which, IMHO, are the best of the promo photos to be released thus far. In each of the 3 new posters, an integral group featured in the saga is represented … and, to be honest, they all look very cool. First up, here is the poster that features the Cullen family:

Okay, the poster is a bit cheesy but I love the Harlequin Romanceness of Bella Swan’s windswept hair … and Jasper Cullen’s crazy eye is awesome ;) After the jump, check out the posters that feature the Volturi vamps (ie. the bad guys) and the poster featuring the Werewolves …

Janet Jackson, who has been seen at various Milan Fashion Week events in Milan, Italy in the past week, made a special appearance at La Permanente to attend amfAR’s Inaugural Milan Fashion Week Event to add her starpower to the drive to raise much needed funds for The Foundation for AIDS Research. Janet was joined on the red carpet by current Out magazine covergirl Donatella Versace but she graced the stage all on her own during the event … here are a few photos:

US singer Janet Jackson lent her star power to a gala charity in Milan that raised more than a million dollars for AIDS research, organisers said. “This battle needs all of us to be brave warriors,” Jackson said during a brief appearance at the Monday evening dinner and dance organised by the Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR). The evening’s biggest sale was a Dsquared jacket signed by Janet Jackson and other celebrities, snapped up by Diesel designer Renzo Rossof for 36,000 euros (53,000 dollars). Earlier a pair of handmade boots decorated with some 3,000 stones, made for Michael Jackson but never worn by the late king of pop, went for 10,000 euros. He died June 25 aged 50.

Janet Jackson is a real trooper … it’s very commendable for her to lend her name to such an important cause. She’s had a difficult year and I’m sure her work has kept her grounded but it’s really amazing that she also is making time to do much needed charity work as well. Keep up the amazing work, Janet!!
