They sure do grow up fast in Hollywood! Little Suri Cruise is not even 2 yet, but already mom Katie Holmes says, “She’s a very strong woman.”

“I’m very proud of her,” the 29-year-old actress added to PEOPLE at Thursday’s Glamour magazine kickoff event for V-Day’s 10th Anniversary. “She’s actually teaching me a lot – probably more than I’m teaching her.”

The Mad Money star said she attended the event to support friends Eve Ensler (the author of The Vagina Monologues) and Paula Wagner (husband Tom Cruise’s production partner) – but she couldn’t help singing the praises of her talented toddler.

“She’s very smart and strong,” Holmes concluded. “And really magical.”

Britney Took 100 Pills in 36 Hours- As time passes, more information about pop-washout Britney Spears’ meltdown seems to surface. In this story, Britney took 100 pills in just 36 hours, leading to her psychotic meltdown. Here’s a list of what she took: she drank 2 bottles of Nyquil, took 20 Clenbuterols, 18 herbal uppers, 18 Piriton Antihistamines, 12 Vicodins, 10 Sleeping pills, 8 Antacid pills, she drank 1 bottle of Pepto Bismol, took 10 Zantacs, 6 Ritalins and 2 full bottles of Oxycontin. (I had no idea Pepto and Antacid pills could contribute to a suicide OD.. but okay!) In addition to the suicidal overdose, Kevin Federline was scared Britney was going to murder their sons with the Beretta 92FS he gave Britney as a gift. Why? Britney was going ballistic–she offered to pay Kevin Federline $100 million to keep the boys and he declined. And while she was at the hospital, Dr. Phil, only thinking of his ratings, went and visited her. He claimed to have talked to her for an hour, she said it was only 15 minutes. Bottom line–she won’t be on his show anytime soon. To read more about the Britney madness, click here.

Andrew Morton’s Tell-All About Tom Cruise- I seriously want to buy this even though I have a feeling its full of lies! But it would be funny to read, wouldn’t it? In this tell-all, available in the United States on January 15th, Andrew alleges many interesting things: Suri Cruise is a product of frozen sperm from L. Ron Hubbard, Tom Cruise is the #2 Scientology member of the world (they have number rankings?!), Tom invited Scientology leader David Miscavige on his honeymoon with Katie Holmes, Nicole Kidman is mum about her weird-ass ex-husband because she knows if she talks then her audit tape will be leaked (what a religion! They leak your “strictly private” confession tape when they do something you don’t like!), and Tom is in works to convert soccer-star David Beckham.

Tim Chapman is a Creepy Guy- If you don’t watch Dog the Bounty Hunter then this story won’t mean anything to you. My fiance and I, on the other hand, used to be really big fans of the show. We were highly entertained by it and watched it almost weekly. Since Dog has been outed as a racist, the show has been canceled. And now more drama! Tim, Dog’s “brother” and co-bounty hunter, turned himself into the police after being caught performing a “lewd act” in the back of his truck. Tim claims he spilled juice on himself and was just changing his pants. Being naked in the back of your truck in a shopping center in broad daylight is beyond creepy. And if you spilled juice, wouldn’t you go home and change your pants?  Ya, you would. You can read more here.

Celebrities Boycotting Golden Globe Awards- Celebrities won’t be attending the televised Golden Globes on January 13th 2008 due to the writer’s strike. Actors and actresses will not cross picket lines–even for an awards show. This surprises me cause famous people, for the most part, are usually pretty selfish. On Monday, there will be an announcement on whether or not the Golden Globes will still take place. Let’s keep our fingers crossed–I just want them to happen so I can see who is wearing what! You can read more about the strike and Golden Globe stuff here.

I think we can file this story under “Things that Tom Cruise will never let happen” but we’ll see. People is reporting that a producer named Ash R. Shah is looking to get Suri to do the voice of little Knut, the polar bear at the Berlin Zoo.

Everybody loves Knut, the polar bear at the Berlin Zoo, who turned one in December. Katie Holmes visited him with daughter Suri, Annie Leibovitz photographed him for the cover of Vanity Fair and a children’s book turned him into a literary hero (Knut: How One Little Polar Bear Captivated the World.

So it’s no surprise that Hollywood is now interested in turning Knut’s life into an animated feature – starring one of his famous visitors. According to German newspaper B.Z., producer Ash R. Shah and his firm, The Animation Picture Company, which brought us the movie version of Garfield, offered the Zoo Berlin $5 million for the rights to Knut’s story.

“With his friendly character, he’s serves as an ambassador for the Earth’s problems – climate change and the melting polar ice caps. A movie about Knut would affect people all over the world,” Shah told the paper.

Heiner Klös, curator at the Zoo Berlin told PEOPLE that the request was received but he didn’t like that the press was already involved. “I can confirm that we received the offer and that we are giving it due consideration,” he said. “When we have come to a decision, then we will handle the matter discreetly.”

Shah added of his plans, “I see the heartwarming relationship between Knut and his caretaker, Thomas Doerflein at the center of the movie … Suri [Cruise] could speak the English voice of Knut.”

Knut has been raised by Doerflein at the zoo since his mother rejected him at birth on Dec. 3, 2006. And no, Shah hasn’t heard from Suri’s agent yet.

You know what, when I have kids I expect they’ll be pretty spoiled. I mean, I was spoiled and my sister was and that’s pretty much how my family does things. But if, at the time I have my kids, I happen to be a millionaire, I don’t see me buying abnormally expensive things for the kids, you know? They’d be more spoiled, granted, but they wouldn’t have, say, oh.. shoes that cost $3,000! Suri Cruise, on the other hand, is getting spoiled in the most lavish ways. OK! reports:

As every leading lady in Hollywood already knows, the must-have fashion accessory for A-list feet is a pair of custom-made shoes by Christian Louboutin, who for $2,500 will create a mold of your foot to hand-craft footwear to your exact specifications — for an additional charge of $500 to $5,000 a pair.

But OK! has learned it’s not just the fashion-savvy adults of Tinseltown who’ve stepped into molds for Louboutin — even little Suri Cruise, at all of 18 months, has gone through the process.

A source close to the Cruise clan reveals to OK! that Suri’s mom Katie Holmes has already had her custom mold made (as has, ironically, Tom Cruise’s ex-wife Nicole Kidman), and come Christmas, thanks to executives at the company, so will Suri!

“She’ll be the youngest client,” a source tells OK!.

Okay, I can see Katie Holmes and Nicole Kidman spending a load of cash getting custom shoes made but making shoes for a baby? She’s going to grow out of them in a month or two, anyway! Seriously. That’s just silly. But then again, we are talking about Tom Cruise!

Happy Birthday to little Xenu!

It seems like Suri was born more than a year ago, but maybe that’s just because so much stuff has been in the news since then.

Anyway, Happy Birthday to Suri Cruise.

I wonder what Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise are doing for her today?

Does she have regular baby toys or does she have like, weird mod stuff? I can’t imagine Suri playing with Lincoln Logs or Legos. I bet she has really expensive toys that aren’t even that fun to play with. And for her birthday, she’s going to get a Versace dress and Armani china dishes.

And right now she’s too young to realize how much it sucks to be her, but when she get’s old enough to know she’s an alien lover with boring toys and parents from outer space, she’s probably going to be pretty bummed out. Or maybe she’ll embrace the Xenu in her and become an advocate for scientology and try to start changing people? Make your prediction nows, because before you know it, she’ll be 16 and involved in celebrity drama all over the front of Us Weekly.

What do you guys think?  Any predictions??

Suri Cruise is so cute!

I don’t care if her real dad is Chris Klein, I don’t care if her parent’s are aliens, I don’t care that she’s already a Scientologist and doesn’t know, I just don’t care!!

How can anyone hate on a baby who’s that damn cute?

Katie Holmes, along with alien-loving husband Tom Cruise, took Suri Cruise, their daughter, out to a family function on St. Patrick’s Day.

She’s even dressed in a cute little Irish green jumper.

Katie Holmes looks tired, or annoyed. I’m not sure if she’s tired of being an alien, tired of Tom Cruise, or tired of the paparazzi’s but I sort of feel bad for her. If she want’s to escape the madness she can come live with me and I’ll raise Suri. She can drink cocktails on my couch all day and we can talk about how insane Tom Cruise is. The offer is out there, that’s all I’m saying.
