And the Most Popular Memorial Day Spot for Celebs Was...

Memorial Day isn't just the kick off of summer; it's also the official start of the celebrity vacation season, and so far, it looks like it's going to be a busy one. Love birds Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez didn't waste anytime enjoying the long weekend in Maui, where they were spotted sharing some PDA during their Hawaiian vacation on Friday.

Meanwhile, plenty of celebs spent the weekend on European vacations too. Like Mad Man's Christina Hendricks, who showed off her curves near a swimming pool in Lake Como, Italy while Kim Kardashian showed off her new $2 million dollar engagement ring on a yacht in Monaco.

Katie Holmes Gets 'Romantic' By Herself in Park City During Sundance

Katie Holmes is the talk of the Sundance Film Festival this year, and not just because she's flying solo in Park City, UT, but also because she has two films in the fest that are getting a lot of buzz. Yesterday, Katie was spotted at the premiere of The Romantics at the Library Centre with co-star Josh Duhamel and his wife Fergie. Kate also took some time yesterday to pose for photos with one of the film's other co-stars, Elijah Wood, who reminisced about filming the movie last year on Long Island. "One lunch break," Elijah said, "instead of going to lunch, we decided to have a party at one of the holding houses. There was a little iPod dock, and we played very loud music and danced. And the girls were amazing."

The Romantics centers on Laura (Holmes), the maid of honor at the wedding of her former college roommate Lila (Anna Paquin ) and the love of her life Tom (Duhamel). The wedding provides the backdrop for a reunion of their friends who had the nickname The Romantics. But, The Romantics isn't the only film Katie's touting at Sundance this year.

The Hamptons See Star Power Even In The Low Season

The Hamptons have always been a hot spot for celeb activity, but this week it's the North Fork region of Long Island that has the big names. Yesterday, Tom Cruise was spotted jogging on Route 25 through Orient and East Marion with his bodyguard, who rode along side him on a bicycle. Tom seemed to be enjoying his run and waved to fans as they drove by. He was probably happy to have a few days off.

Tom's been busy working on the movie Knight and Day with Cameron Diaz in Boston. The production was scheduled to move to Salzburg, Austria today but Austrian filmmakers protested a tax incentive offered to Cruise and company by Salzburg authorities. In response to the backlash, the shoot has been cut down to just 7 days rather than the three weeks they had originally scheduled. Tom and Cameron will also be shooting in Spain and Hawaii over the next few week.

So, what would bring Tom Cruise to eastern Long Island in the middle of November? Most likely, his third anniversary with wife Katie Holmes. Mrs. Cruise is currently filming The Romantics in Southold, NY with co-stars Adam Brody, Elijah Wood, Anna Paquin, Josh Duhamel and Malin Akerman. The cast seems to be making themselves at home while filming in Long Island. Adam Brody and Katie Holmes have been frequenting the Starbucks in Greenport while Elijah Wood was recently seen at Love Lane Kitchen in Mattituck.

Last Chance For Several Mainstage Hits This Month

It's closin' time! New York visitors hoping to catch up on some recent Broadway hits better hurry up in this record month of shuttering shows.

Already in January, top earners like "Hairspray" and "Spamalot" and seasonal hits like "Slava's Snowshow" and "White Christmas" have closed their doors. This week, the much-TONY'd "Gypsy" and the Katie Holmes vehicle "All My Sons" joins them; next week, it's time for Best New Musical winner "Spring Awakening." Judging by last week's grosses, Best Play winner "August: Osage County," Daniel Radcliffe nudie pick "Equus" and Piven's folly "Speed-the-Plow" will be next.

On the bright side, now that you know these are not long for this world, you can stop by the new TKTS booth--now accepting credit cards for the insolvent!--in Times Square for some last-minute sales. Given flexibility, theater crazies might indeed find it to be the most wonderful time of the year after all.

Star Power Boosts 2 Shows

Katie Holmes carries daughter Suri Cruise out of their New York apartment en route to work on her Broadway show, "All My Sons." (Katie's, not Suri's.)

Theatre snobs who had doubts about Holmes' chops when she signed on to the Arthur Miller adaptation must have been disappointment when the producers announced Monday they had recouped their initial investment in the show. A hit! A palpable hit! That puts "All My Sons," financially speaking, ahead of other celeb vehicles like "Speed-the-Plow" (Jeremy Piven, Elisabeth Moss from "Mad Men") or "Equus" (Daniel Radcliffe) and blockbusters like "Young Frankenstein," which recently posted its closing notice. Not to mention shows whose planned Broadway debuts were canceled due to the recession like "Godspell" and "Brigadoon."

The other show that just announced it made bank, "The Seagull," also had star power on its side -- although the tabloid-scarce Kristin Scott Thomas and Peter Sarsgaard. Like "All My Sons," its limited run ends in January, which means Broadway may be asking for a bailout from its New York audience members when the year of the "naycation" takes hold. Our advice: Cast Nick Spangler, "Amazing Race" co-winner and current Off-Broadway actor, in your show. Can't lose.

Britney's Working Holiday

For Britney Spears, this weekend brought all work and no play. While her documentary "For The Record" was showing in the US, Spears performed on Britain's popular TV show "X Factor" (creators of Leona Lewis) and at the Bambi Awards where she was given the Best International Pop Star award.

So what were our other favorite stars up to this weekend? The Cruises and Beckhams took New York together even though Katie Holmes had to work all weekend--er, perform in "All My Sons." Miley Cyrus hit the Big Apple as well, although we hope she's not moving here! Divorced stars Ryan Phillipe and Reese Witherspoon broke bread together with their kids for the holiday, while Alex Rodriguez left his kids in New York while he took in a Madonna concert in Miami. Demi, Ashton and Bruce also celebrated together, and we know they're all friends, but that's kind of creepy.

Will Smith took his crew to Hawaii and Michael Phelps took his new girlfriend, a waitress in Vegas, home to Maryland to meet Mom. And Eva Longoria set tongues wagging when she attended a wedding by herself. Have we all had enough vacation yet?

Fall Culture Travel: On Broadway, Unhappy Families Are All Alike

The Arthur Miller revival "All My Sons" begins previews on Broadway today, starring John Lithgow and Dianne Wiest as patriarch and matriarch of a clan wrecked by the aftermath of World War II.

Patrick Wilson ("Little Children" and Friday's "Lakeview Terrace") is their son, a vet in love with his MIA brother's girlfriend, played by that one TV actress who was on the WB in the '90s... what's her name? Surely it will come to us...

You can also put the "fun" back into "dysfunction" on Broadway this fall with Chekhov's "The Seagull," in which a famous actress (Kristin Scott Thomas) neglects her son in favor of her new lover (Peter Sarsgaard) and brand-new blockbuster musical "A Tale Of Two Cities," in which the French Revolution threatens to tear a young couple apart. If Mum and Dad can't handle it, take 'em to "Shrek"--as far as we know, he's an orphan.
