{ togawp } – hollywood’s secret sauce

Katie Holmes sure does get around.   Just months ago the actress broke off her engagement to long-time boyfriend Chris Klein; then last month she was recently spotted kissing Josh Hartnett on the streets of New York.  Now, the Dawson’s Creek star is making a very public debut — also abroad, a la Brangelina — with her new man TOM CRUISE.  Cruise, 42, is 16 years older than Holmes, but their love is young and we’re already fixated!

The new lovebirds were photographed in Rome today holding hands and Cruise’s rep has confirmed that Tom and Katie are dating.  "[They] have only been dating a couple of weeks," a friend of Cruise’s tells People magazine. "She’s a really genuine person," adds the friend. "She’s the real deal."  The revelation of the new coupling is conveniently timed for both, as Cruise’s War of the Worlds hits theatres on June 29, just 2 weeks after Holmes appears in Warner Bros’ Batman Begins, opposite Christian Bale.

Meanwhile, 37-year old Cruise ex-wife Nicole Kidman is no doubt THRILLED  about that her ex-husband is now dating a girl 10 years her junior.  No doubt somewhere in Los Angeles a plastic surgeon is prepping for a Botox session of unequaled proportions.

In news sure to delight Jar-Jar Binks fans everywhere, Fox has announced that George Lucas will make a guest appearance on The O.C. next month, playing a rough-and-tumble outsider who rolls into town when his parole officer remands him to the care of Sandy Cohen.

Ok you caught us, Lucas is actually going to be playing himself in the May 12th episode.   No word yet on whether or not he’ll use digital enhancements to generate a jowl-free look for his on-camera appearance, in which he provides mentoring and guidance to aspiring graphic novelist Seth Cohen. 

While Fox claims the appearance won’t be a simple promotional stop, Lucas’s Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith is hitting theaters less than 2 weeks after his O.C. cameo; so we’re sure there will be a wookie or two in there somewhere.

Can’t you just smell the synergy?

Friends say the Daredevil star proposed to his fellow superhero Garner (she played Elektra in the movie adaptation) yesterday, on the occasion of her 33rd birthday.

Last month a Defamer reader coined a new celebrity nickname that we must recognize and immediately pull into the Gawp lexicon, if for no other reason than it makes us laugh everytime we read or say it.

So, from this day forth, we here at ToGawp are proud to announce that we’re formally adopting Defamer’s "butterscotch stallion" nickname for Mr. Owen Wilson.

Thanks, that is all.

Guess what! Michael Douglas is at it again trying to improve his looks. In our best opinion these scars were probably created correcting the bad face lift he had in the early 90’s. Looks like they may be letting the facial skin relax a bit, so he doesn’t ‘tear’ or lose mobility.

Did you know that Michael Douglas had a previous face-lift?  Let’s hope this one does the job to correct his former ‘problems’, or perhaps the aging 55-year-old feels the need to keep up with his sex kitten of a wife, Catherine Zeta-Jones and don’t forget the newest addition to their household, son Dylan Michael Douglas.

Hollywood hunk Ben Affleck might have been named the sexiest man alive, but his co-star Michael Clarke Duncan warns Affleck’s female fans that the star is not at all impressive if you see him naked.

"Don’t get me wrong, ladies, Ben is cool, but I’ve seen the guy naked in Armageddon and c’mon, man! I was not impressed at all, man! I was like, ‘This is it, huh? This is it right here?’ Conatctmusic.com quoted Duncan as saying.

Duncan said that he’d be more deserving of a title like ‘the sexiest man’, adding, "I have bulging biceps. I’ll take my turn, I’ll wait." [WebIndia]
