Hey all you celebrity lovers in the Middle East! This news if for you!
If you're fans of Tom Cruise and his cute wife Katie Holmes then you'll be happy to know that the couple is coming your way and will be celebrating New Years Eve in Dubai!
Tom and Katie will be jetting off to Dubai just in time to host a lavish New Year party at the much talked about Atlantis The Palm Resort!
I bet this party will have other big names like maybe David Beckham and Victoria Beckham! Who knows who else will be attending the party ... not me i'm sure!

This paradise-like resort, which cost a whopping $1.5 billion resort, is built on the Palm Jumeirah and has beaches, a water park, nightclubs and a Nobu restaurant! Oh La La!

When you say Tom Cruise, lots of things come to mind like Top Gun and Mission Impossible ... and it doesn't get better than that! I know, Scientology comes to mind, but that's not the point here!
Tom Cruise has been the guy for action movies like Mission Impossible since forever and it wouldn't be the same without him!
There's news that there will be a Mission Impossible 4 but Paramount wants a younger, cheaper guy ... would that work?! Personally, I don't think so!
Tom, although 46, is still at the top of his game and is the only one who can make MI4 work!
I wouldn't want to watch MI4 and neither would my husband if it weren't Tom playing Ethan Hunt!
What do you think? Is Tom Cruise now too old to star in Action movies? Or has he still got it in him?

Tom Cruise was in talks to for a new project, a movie entitled "Edwin A. Salt".
Tom was going to play a CIA officer falsely accused of being a Russian agent.
Now, this CIA officer is about to have a gender change! Things with Tom didn't work out and the replacement is Angelina Jolie!
Jolie is yet to say OK to the role, but she did show interest and took liking to it.
According to Variety, "Edwin A. Salt" will undergo a title change, and if everything falls into place, the film shapes up as a return vehicle for Jolie.
Those spy roles do agree with Jolie. They suit her a lot.

Yesterday was Independence Day and Celebrities like normal people took advantage of the free day to chillax and take it easy.
So, what did they do?
Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy spent some time on the Malibu beach, soaking up the sun and just relaxing. Jim was spotted wearing Jenny's halter swimsuit!

Nicole Richie surprisingly wasn't with Joel and baby Harlow! She was with some friends at the Malibu beach as well.

Lance Armstrong and Kate Hudson made things a tad bit more official with a kiss in public!
They attended a 4th of July bash at Courtney Cox's house and they gave us some PDA to think of!

More 4th of July celebrity activities after the jump ...

Today, Tom Cruise turns 46! Happy Birthday Tommy Boy!
So, what was Tom up to? In the past two days, he's been vrooming across the streets of Los Angeles on his custom $72.500 Ducati "superbike"!
He was even spotted taking his son Connor for a spin as well!

During the weekend, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes held a housewarming party at their Beverly Hills home. Is that a new home? I thought that's where they've been living all this time! A house warming party now? Why?
Ok, after checking, i find out that this Beverly Hills home is in fact The Cruise's $35 million mansion which they bought last year! They can't let that just pass by, even when the house was bought last year!
Tom and Katie held a huge bash, catered by Wolfgang Puck and invited a long list of A-Listers! Around 500 people were there to celebrate and here's a dash of the names:
Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal. Kimora Lee Simmons and Djimon Hounsou.
Eva Longoria Parker, Prince, Sean Combs, Kirstie Alley and Oprah Winfrey.
Tobey Maguire, Ben Stiller, Dakota Fanning and Cuba Gooding Jr.
Also there were Tom's mom and sisters.
I wonder, where Katie's parents there too?

Rumor has it that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have set their minds on having another baby soon!
Now that Suri is a toddler, it's easier to have another baby to take care of. Yup, having some help from the nannies and the maids must also make it easier!!!
Anyway, according to E! Online, a close friend of The Cruise's said that it's Katie who wants another baby and that Tom doesn't mind at all!

Tom Cruise celebrates 27 years of movie making this year. It was exactly 25 years ago, that Tom starred in the movie 'Risky Business', which shot him to fame.
On this occasion, and to share this with all his fans around the world, he launched his official website, TomCruise.com
When you enter the site, the first thing you see is a few minutes that round up all his famous roles since 'Taps' in 1981 and 'Risky Business' leading up to 'Lion for Lambs' in 2007. Very interesting footage.
There's also a long message from Tom himself to all his fans. In it he talks about his love of movies, acting in them and watching them. He thanks his fans for all their support throughout the years. Tom also says that he created this site to share his experience with the people and to explore the future of movies with him.

The last time Tom Cruise was on The Oprah Winfery Show, he made a big whirlwind of headlines when he jumped on Oprah's couch out of love for his now-wife Katie Holmes!
Oprah has decided to take the bold step of sitting with Tom on a couch again, but this time it's his couch!
Oprah visited Tom and Katie at their Telluride, Colorado home (the first part is held at his home) and they talked about all what's happened since the famous 2005 couch jump!

What does Tom really think of the whole jump issue? Well, he says he was misunderstood and that it was just a genuine reaction.
Tom says: "It was a moment, and it was real. I just felt that way, and I feel that way about her. I can't even articulate it, to be honest. That feeling, that connection. Just who she is and what she means to me."

Tom Cruise’s son, Connor, seems to be following in his dad’s footsteps!
Connor is going to star with Tom Cruise and Will smith in an upcoming movie entitled ‘Seven Pounds’.
Connor will be playing a minor role in the movie, but will be portraying a young Will Smith alongside huge names! That must account for something!
Don’t think that Connor got the role just like that, no! He had to audition for the part!
The movie also stars Woody Harrelson and Rosario Dawson.
‘Seven Pounds’ is still in production but is set for a December 2008 release.

Johnny Depp's career skyrocketed after his role in the 1990 movie Edward Scissorhands. Would you believe that originally the role of the freaky character was going to go to Tom Cruise?!
Oh My! What sort of Edward would have Tom given us? Surely not the same one Depp has!
Johnny Depp is THE perfect actor to play all these freaky Tim Burton characters, no one can do them better!
But at the time, Tom Cruise was an A-lister, while Johnny Depp was just a TV actor! Maybe the producers thought an A-lister would do the movie good ... but they changed their minds and gave the role to Depp instead. Which, no doubt, was a great decision! It was then that the relationship between Depp and Burton started, and we all know what the yielded.

Would you think Tom Cruise would have made a good Edward Scissorhands?

I can’t believe it’s been two years since little Suri Cruise came to this world! Time has flown by so quickly and I haven’t felt it!
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are planning a huge bash for Suri, whose birthday is on April 18th … that’s two days from now! Yepee!
According to OK! Magazine, the parents are planning a fabulous party and are just tuning the details now.
The party will also include big names, friends of Tom and Katie, in addition to the family. Suri’s sister, Isabella and brother Connor, Katie’s mom and dad and Tom’s big family.
There sure will be loads of sweets and cupcakes … both mommy and Suri loves those!
I bet she’s going to get a bunch of great toys from FAO Schwartz … that’s THE place for THE best toys!

Tom Cruise took his cupcake of a daughter, Suri, to a park in Los Angeles for some dad/daughter play time.
Suri played in the sand and slid down the slide too!
She was sporting the cutest white and pink dress ... with the skyline of Paris on it!
Oh! Suri is also on top of the trends with red nail polish on her tiny tiny finger nails! Yummy!
This may have been a couple of weeks ago, but the photos are so worth seeing!

Jennifer Lopez and her hubby are very good friends with Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes ... so good to the extent that J-Lo asked Tom Cruise to be the godfather of her twins Max and Emme!
Although Lopez and hubby Anthony are Catholics ... they chose Cruise, who is a devout Scientologist to be their kids' godfather ... does that make sense?
Marc Anthony wasn't so enthusiastic to the idea of having a Scientologist as his kids' godfather, but it seems J-Lo changed his mind.
Tom Cruise has already showered those two kids with tons of gifts and loads of swag!
He reportedly spent around $200.000 on designer outfits for Max and Emme, ordered a giant fish tank for their nursery and gave them complete Disney DVD box sets! Wow!
