Nicole Kidman to Be in London for Summer Olympics

It's going to be hard for Nicole Kidman to lay low this summer. Us Weekly has learned that the Oscar-winning actress, 45, will be in London for most of the 2012 Summer Olympics, which kick off in the UK later this month.
Kidman is the spokeswoman for OMEGA Watches, the official timekeeper of the Olympics, and thus will be on hand in London for various promotional appearances. Husband Keith Urban -- and presumably their daughters Sunday, 3, and Faith, 19 months -- will be at her side.

Still, with hundreds of millions of TV viewers watching the games -- and hundreds and hundreds of reporters in town -- it may be difficult for Kidman to avoid at least a few questions about the Hollywood story of the summer: Her ex-husband Tom Cruise's still-developing divorce and custody battle with Katie Holmes, who filed papers last Thursday after nearly six years of marriage.

Much has been made of Kidman's supposed estrangement from her older children, with whom she has not been photographed in years. Several former members of the Church of Scientology claimed to the Hollywood Reporter that members of the organization deliberately turned Bella and Connor against their mother -- a charge a rep for the church vehemently denied.

Didn't think it was possible for the Garner-Affleck crew to get any more adorable!? Well, think again!
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck's brood, including daughters Violet and Seraphina and the most recent addition, baby Samuel, looked the epitome of the all-American family as they hit up a Fourth of July parade together in L.A.—and also gave the world its first peep at the new member, who was decked out head to toe in patriotic garb.
So who does he take after?

We knew the gene pool was stacked in his favor, but this lucky tot appears to have been extra blessed with both his mom's famous pout and his dad's handsome profile.
Since his arrival four months ago, the close family has been keeping baby Samuel all to themselves, and it's no wonder why. One look at this cute boy and all we can think about is pinching those deliciously chubby cheeks!

New Iron Man 3 Teaser Art: Is Tony Stark Now a Mutant?!

Look who's ready to suit up again!
Iron Man 3 doesn't hit theaters until next May, but we're already starting to see bits and pieces of what to expect from the Robert Downey Jr.–headlined flick.
It's what's we're not seeing in these teasers, though, that's got the geekverse abuzz.
Marvel has released an image of concept art from the flick that shows Downey's Tony Stark battling baddies in what appears to be an armored suit ermerging from his body.

The pic, which was posted on The Avengers' Facebook page, depicts only sections of the suit on his left arm and left leg, with the rest of his armor MIA.
The image immediately reinforced fanboys' theories that the film's top-secret plot would indeed be based on the comic book's famous Extremis storyline, in which a scientist creates a drug that grants superhuman abilities to its subjects.
That, or Tony Stark was rushing to get dressed and forgot to strap on a few accessories. Hey, happens to all of us!
The flick already starting filming in late May with Gwyneth Paltrow, who reprises her Pepper Potts role, as well as potential new love interest Rebecca Hall. (Jessica Chastain reportedly had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts.)

Guy Pearce is also on board as a geneticist named Aldrich Killian, who supposedly creates the Extremis serum.
As for the baddie, Ben Kingsley has signed on to play a supervillain, and although the studio has yet to confirm his identity, speculation is running high that he could take on the role of Mandarin, a wealthy scientist and martial-arts expert who draws his immense power from highly advanced alien technology.
Hopefully, some of those questions will get answered when Iron Man 3 hits Comic-Con on July 14 and invades the the San Diego Convention Center's vaunted Hall H.
The film arrives in theaters on May 3, 2013

Does this look familiar to you?
Well, if you follow any Jennifer Aniston media coverage, then it should. This über-sexy photo of the actress on the front of GQ Spain's July/August issue is recycled from a shoot done years ago.

The cover image is actually a photo taken from Vogue's December 2008 spread. Say whaaaa?!
We're not sure what prompted the magazine's decision to reuse an old shot. It's not like she looks any different from four years ago—which leads us back to questioning just how much Aniston spends a month for her beauty regimen, but then again, it could just be all the love in her life keeping her young.
Reps for the magazine did not respond to repeated calls seeking comment.
"I'll tell you what, I think the 40s are great," the Wanderlust star told the mag, and when you look like that, why wouldn't they be?!

 

Rihanna's Snake-Like Spread for Harper's Bazaar: Gotta Have It or Make It Stop?

Camilla Akrans/Harper's Bazaar

It took us about 10 minutes to figure out who this was.
At first we assumed she was a Cycle-2 contestant from America's Next Top Model who somehow snuck into a Harper's Bazaar shoot. It couldn't possibly be Rihanna.
After all, the girl is wearing clothes and Ri-Ri, as everybody now knows, hates clothes. She prefers scraps of cloth that may or may not cover her all up. Until today, we guess...

So, what can we tell you about the pop python, other than she likely shed this getup like a rattlesnake as soon as the cameras stopped clicking?
Well, the friendly, super-approachable folks at the magazine inform us thusly: The "Where Have You Been" singer is wearing a dress and boots by Tom Ford and a Repossi ear cuff.

Tom Cruise to File for Divorce After Letting Katie Holmes "Play the Media" First

Tom Cruise has remained conspicuously silent throughout the mania surrounding his divorce from Katie Holmes, but that doesn't mean he isn't mapping out a legal game plan.
The star's lawyer, Bert Fields, has confirmed to the BBC that the 50-year-old is planning to file for divorce but, for the moment, has opted to let his estranged ex "play the media" before making any moves.

"Tactically we can't say where Tom will file a divorce case and if he'll be seeking joint custody of Suri," Fields said.
He added that they've decided to let Holmes take the spotlight first before filing their own counter divorce case.
"We are letting 'the other side' play the media until they wear everyone out," Fields explained, "and then we'll have something to say."
Although it appears the couple could be gearing up for a contentious battle, with custody for 6-year-old Suri front and center, Fields reiterated that Cruise is disheartened by the turn of events.
"It's not Tom's style to do this publicly," Fields said. "He is really sad about what's happening."

Holmes, 33, filed for divorce on June 28 in New York City and is seeking sole custody of Suri. Speculation has been mounting that Cruise could file a counter divorce case in California and seek joint custody, but, per the BBC, Fields wouldn't confirm those reports.
The opening salvo for their legal showdown comes on July 17, when Holmes is set to appear in front of a family court judge in New York City for an order-to-show-cause hearing, allowing her to request a speedy temporary order before Cruise's legal team has a chance to respond.
In the meantime, Holmes has decamped to a posh downtown Manhattan apartment with Suri, and the two have been spotted out and about the city with pals.
