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.

Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz Explode in Bridgewater, MA
Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz were up all night Friday, but not for a hot Hollywood party, instead they spent the night in a Bridgewater, MA field. The pair were shooting scenes for Wichita, aka "The Untitled Wichita Project", their new movie which has been filming around Boston for a few weeks. In one scene shot Friday night, just off of Curve Street, a 747 "crashed and exploded" in a a large field. Though it looked and sounded like a real crash, no planes (or humans) were actually injured in the shoot. The plane arrived to the field on Friday already in pieces and the explosion was nothing more than a little Hollywood magic.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the movie focuses on "a lonely woman (Diaz) whose seemingly harmless blind date suddenly turns her life upside-down when a superspy (Cruise) takes her on a violent worldwide journey to protect a powerful battery that holds the key to an infinite power source." So how does this plane crash fit into the this "worldwide journey"?

Classic New York Movies: Three New York Movies, Three Great Location Shots
Visit our Classic Movies Map to make it all better.
We've been sick this week and thus our attention span, when not doing shots of Nyquil, has dwindled down to naught--just like the budgets of a million would-be filmmakers trying to tell the quintessential New York City Story.
But don't despair! All you really need is one great location shot to put your viewers in NYC, as the following big-budget movies make perfectly clear:
"Vanilla Sky" (2001) -- Yeah, the original Spanish movie is better, but we'll never forget that memorable non-spoilery shot of Tom Cruise standing in a deserted Times Square. This isn't a special effect either; Cameron Crowe was allowed to block off the entire square for three hours, his one chance to get this shot.
"Coyote Ugly" (2000) -- This below-average sleepover movie has more than a jigger of truth to it: The adventures of naive bartendrix Piper Perabo at the dive were loosely based on a story in GQ magazine by author Elizabeth Gilbert--who's now famous for Eat, Pray, Love.
"Night at the Museum" (2006) -- You might not spot Dick Van Dyke or Ricky Gervais there, but even the bumblings of Ben Stiller can't take away from the grandeur of the American Museum of Natural History, as seen (in a sadder context) in 2005's "The Squid and the Whale." The rest of the film may as well have been shot in Rupert Murdoch's basement.

Polar Bear Travel: "Knut" The Movie, With A Famous Voice
Remember Knut, the adorable polar bear who captured our hearts as a cub and appeared on the cover of Vanity Fair with Leonardo DiCaprio before he got too big to be cute? Get ready for "Happy Knut", the movie! The creators of the live-action "Garfield" are pursuing the rights to Knut's story, with an eye towards having celebrity baby star Suri Cruise--spawn of TomKat--voice the cub Knut.
Suri has already visited Knut while Dad has been in Germany filming "Valkyrie," his WWII biopic about a Nazi renegade. Hey, we've seen "Happy Feet," and this sounds like a lot more fun (and adorable). If and when the film gets made, you can bet we'll have all the movie set travel details.

Spice Girls' Biggest Fans Stand Out at L.A. Show
We've known it was coming since June, and the moment has arrived: The Spice Girls are back on tour! And the reviews are... well, actually, we don't care about the reviews. We'd rather just bask in the glory of Posh, Baby, Scary, Sporty and Ginger out on the road again.
At one of their recent L.A. shows, though, two audience members almost attracted more attention than the show on stage: David Beckham, who was there watching his wife, and Tom Cruise, who's Beckham's new best LA friend. According to a concertgoer, when Beckham got up to use the bathroom, he and his entourage commandeered the entire bathroom. Or should we say, he pulled a Gyllenspoon? How rude!
If you go to the concert in any city, do send us your review.

Tom Cruise's Weird Love Affair With Germany
Tom Cruise almost wasn't allowed to film his latest movie in Germany because of his Scientology ties. A scant four months later, they like him so much they gave him a media award for courage--or, as it's known, a Bambi Award.
Forget Oscar, Tony and Emmy, the Bambis definitely have the coolest statue around. Eva Longoria also got to take one home for the international success of "Desperate Housewives," and Sophia Loren was honored with a lifetime achievement award, but Cruise was the one who, according to Celebitchy, gave an acceptance speech of five minutes-plus on the importance of following your dreams. Uh, can you please take your miniature golden deer and go home? Also, Katie Holmes, please return Rihanna's hair on the way out.

Katie Holmes Survived The New York City Marathon
Did you spot Katie Holmes among the 38,000 runners at the New York Marathon this weekend? We didn't, but armed with only a flimsy tank top and a look of determination, Mrs. Tom Cruise was able to finish the race in about five and a half hours. Holmes stayed at New York's Carlyle Hotel the night before and went out to the Staten Island start of the race with Tom and baby Suri, who joined fellow spectators along the course.
Like Katie, the two top finishers in the women's field are also moms--Great Britain's Paula Radcliffe and Ethiopia's Gete Wami who ran most of the course together before Radcliffe sprinted ahead in the last mile. Martin Lel of Kenya, who placed first in the 2003 New York City Marathon, won the men's race with an unofficial time of 2:09:05.

TomKat Adjusts To Married Life In Berlin
The circus has come to town for not-so-newlyweds Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, who have been dividing their time between their L.A. home and the Berlin set of Tom's new movie. The show at hand is Robert Redford's film "Lions for Lambs," opening November 9, in which Cruise plays a Republican senator (no, really!) being interrogated by a reporter played by Meryl Streep about an offensive in Afghanistan. (Redford himself co-stars in the film as an inspirational college professor.)
TomKat gamely walked the red carpet and he told reporters how he's looking forward to flying planes and racing cars with pal David Beckham, who recently ended his first season with the L.A. Galaxy.
Hard to believe the couple no one said would make it has already been legally attached for a year. In other news, your grandma wants to know when you're going to move back home and find a nice young man.

TomKat's Long Berlin Film Kiss
What's so surprising about this picture of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes having a romantic meal in Berlin? Cruise is in town to film the movie "Valkyrie" with director Bryan "X-Men" Singer, but he almost didn't get permission to film in Germany because of his Scientologist beliefs. However, when you get are filming the story of Claus von Stauffenberg, a German army officer (portrayed by Cruise in the film) who led an attempt to assassinate Hitler in 1944, a sound stage in Toronto just won't do it. Luckily for Cruise, he recently received permission to film at Tempelhof Airport, a commercial airport used as a military base in World War II.
Baby Suri was nowhere to be seen, having probably decamped to rub noses with Knut the polar bear. We're guessing she won't be old enough next summer to see "Valkyrie" when it opens in August 2008.
