Katie Holmes Celebrates National Dance Day

Joining in on the footwork focused festivities, Katie Holmes attended the National Dance Day Celebration in Valencia, California over the weekend (July 30).

The "Mad Money" actress looked casual cute in a red-toned top with jeans and a brimmed hat as she took to the Six Flags Magic Mountain venue to partake in the day's dancin' doings.

As for the event, National Dance Day is "a grassroots initiative that encourages the nation, young and old, to move! Individuals, families, organizations and communities from across the nation come together through their creative expression in dance. Any style of dance is welcome and imagination is recommended in order to get the most out of this celebratory day."

Of the fun-filled happenings, National Dance Day creator and SYTYCD Executive Producer/Judge Nigel Lythgoe said, “It’s a wonderful way to stay healthy and have fun whilst doing it."

Kim Kardashian's Bachelorette Pool Party

Continuing forth with another day of singledom celebration, Kim Kardashian's bachelorette weekend was back in session with a visit to The Palazzo in Las Vegas on Sunday (July 24).

Joined by sister Kourtney and fiance Kris Humphries' sister Kaela, the trio of ladies took to a VIP at the Sin City resort's pool area with E! camera crews capturing all of the action.

The pool outing comes after Kim, Kourtney and Kaela partied the night away the previous evening during a dinner and club combo at TAO - with the festivities also including fellow Kardashian sister Khloe, as well as Kris Jenner.

After getting a little rest, Kim woke up in the best of moods, as she joyfully tweeted, "I wake up & just thanks the lord for my family & friends! Seriously I love life! I love all of the people who are in my life! #LovingLife"

Hugh Grant Nabs Small Win in Phone-Hacking Case

He's been spearheading the celebrity fight against the tabloid phone-hackers, and today (July 20) Hugh Grant has earned a small victory for all of his hard work.

During the court hearing, a British judge granted the "Notting Hill" actor the right to see all evidence that he and his former girlfriend, Jemima Khan’s voice messages were hacked.

As part of the ever-evolving scandal surrounding Rupert Murdoch's now-defunct "News of the World," Grant had requested that the documents illicitly collected by private investigator Glenn Mulcaire be released to him.

Back in 2007, Mulcaire spent six months behind bars after pleading guilty to intercepting phone messages of royal aids on behalf of Murdoch's media empire.

Lily Allen: My Business Isn't Failing

Enjoying a weekend sporting event, Lily Allen was among the stars on-hand at the Veuve Clicquot Gold Cup polo match at Cowdray Park Polo Club, Midhurst, UK on Sunday (July 17).

Wearing a cream-colored coat, star-patterned dress and black heels, the newlywed certainly looked prim and proper in all of her pre-baby pregnancy glow.

Meanwhile, Lily has fired back at weekend tabloid rumors alleging that her company, Lucy In Disguise, is facing a bleak future following the announcement of its Covent Garden store closure, telling Vogue, "I'm really excited that Lucy in Disguise continues to expand with the planned opening of a brand new shop and the expansion of our online business."

Allen's statement to the mag comes after an earlier Twitter rant, in which she warned, "If any other publication wants to write deliberately misleading articles about Lucy in Disguise, feel free, I WILL sue you

Angelina Jolie's Ozzie Dots Day Out with Shiloh & Zahara

Having themselves quite the fabulous girls' day out, Angelina Jolie and daughters Shiloh and Zahara made for an adorable trio while out in Hollywood, California on Sunday (July 17).

The "Kung Fu Panda 2" actress was dressed in an all-black ensemble as she and her two growing young ladies paid a visit to Ozzie Dots.

Once finished with their shopping, the threesome emerged with Zahara excitedly skipping while Shiloh toted her purchases including a plastic pitchfork and stuffed animal with antlers.

The sighting comes as Miss Jolie's full-length Louis Vuitton Core Values campaign video was recently released, during which Angelina spoke about her kiddies' penchant for eating bugs ever since their trip to Cambodia.

The 36-year-old mother of six told, "My boys love to eat crickets. It's their favorite thing... When I first gave it to them... I wanted them to not be turned-off by something that wasn't (part of) their culture. So I bought them... and they ate them like Doritos (chips)."

Jolie added, "And they wouldn't stop and they brought to-go boxes home. And then I had to actually ban the cricket-eating at a certain point because I was afraid they were going to get sick from eating too many... But they're good!"

Casey Anthony Released from Orange County Jail

With the ominous sign of lightning striking overhead, Casey Anthony was set free from custody at the Orange County jail in Orlando, Florida at 12:09 Sunday morning (July 17).

The recently acquitted murder trial defendant exited the facility wearing a bright pink t-shirt and jeans while accompanied by lawyer Jose Baez and a Special Response Team as she was loaded into a black, tinted-out SUV en route to an unknown destination.

Despite the nasty conditions, protestors braved the storm with many of the anti-Casey onlookers holding umbrellas in one hand and signs in the other to show support for Casey's deceased daughter, Caylee Anthony.

One particular lady on hand to witness Miss Anthony's release used her pro-Casey poster to try and block the view of a seemingly pro-Casey picketer's message reading, "Casey will you marry me?"

The Orange County jail discharge comes after Miss Anthony spent nearly two weeks in lockup following her stunning "not guilty" verdicts in the death of her daughter, though she was convicted on four counts of giving false information to law enforcement.

Due to the fact that she already had served three years behind bars with good behavior, the judge ruled that 25-year-old Casey had fulfilled her punishment for the convictions - which led to the quick release.

As for the plans going forth, Anthony's lawyers have confirmed that there have been numerous death threats made against their client - leading them to remain mum on Casey's plans from this point forth.

Prince William & Kate's Night at the BAFTA Brits To Watch

Stepping out for the lone black tie affair of their Stateside visit, Prince William and Kate Middleton were the main attraction at the BAFTA Brits To Watch event in Los Angeles, California on Saturday night (July 9).

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge received a warm welcome at the Belasco Theatre as they joined a star-studded guest list including Hollywood mainstays such as Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Lopez, Blake Lively, Jennifer Garner, Ed Westwick, Elizabeth Banks, Jack Black, Zooey Deschanel and Tom Hanks, among many others.

During the swanky affair, William opened the gala with an instructional speech about "what he hopes to achieve for the evening" before he and the duchess briefly met the 42 honorees in a private reception area.

Of Will partaking in the event, the organization's chief executive, Amanda Berry, said, "What he does for us is when he can attend an event he absolutely does, and he couldn't be doing more for us this weekend being part of this event. He's very philanthropic, so we meet regularly to try to support each other. He's lovely and a very down-to-earth, easy individual to get on with."

Continuing to detail the purpose of the BAFTA Brits To Watch event, Miss Berry added, "Some of the people we're honoring have more credits who are just starting to have an international career, but many are students we've identified with a real spark. Directors will sit next to directors, actors will sit with actors, and hopefully they'll make introductions. We've given them all briefing packets and they're very excited. We've got the most fantastic industry audience in the room that it's a real opportunity for them to meet inspirational people who can impact their careers."

Casey Anthony's Post-Prison Plans: Babies, Books & Porn?

Just a day after a shocking jury decision could let her walk free, we're learning what life post-prison could entail for Casey Anthony.

Following her first degree murder acquittal, letters the 25-year-old penned while behind bars are beginning to reveal the wide-array of plans she has for her future.

As Casey divulged to fellow inmate Robyn Adams, more kids could definitely be a possibility, as she wrote,"I had a dream not too long ago that I was pregnant. It was like having Cays [Caylee] all over again. I've thought about adopting, which even sounds weird to me saying it, but there are so many children that deserve to be loved," adding that she and Adams should "get pregnant together."

Anthony also tossed around the idea of becoming a writer, which could have her profiting from the death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee, as she described her interest in a "partial memoir/comedy/relationship advice book for those not in the know. It's a way to settle many rumors and to share my insight about love, life and most important – God… Who knows."

Adding to the realm of forthcoming career opportunities, Vivid co-founder Steve Hirsch has offered the tot mom a starring role in one of the company's adult films, saying, "Whether you agree with the verdict or not, Casey will want to move forward with her life and has a right to make a living," he told TMZ, adding, "It's not going to be easy for her and we believe we can help her make the transition into a new life."

Lady Gaga's Taipei Yoga Fitness

Not letting her travel-intensive schedule impede her quest for fitness, Lady Gaga stepped out for a yoga class in downtown Taipei on Saturday night (July 2).

Wearing a black and gold themed outfit coordinated with her yoga mat, the "Edge of Glory" singer took to Pure Yoga for the one hour session before exiting to find a crowd of nearly 500 fans gathered around the gym's door.

In Taiwan for the first time ever, Gaga is gearing up for a big day tomorrow, as Taichung Mayor Jason Hu will be out to proclaim July 3rd as "Lady Gaga Day" to coincide with the American pop idol's visit.

Insiders tell Gossip Center that the city government will throw a party to welcome the 25-year-old, during which Hu will present her with the keys to the city.

Later in the day, the newly-crowned Rolling Stone "Queen of Pop" is expected to hold her album launch event at the Taichung Arena.

On a side note, it was also confirmed the Gaga will indeed be a guest judge on "So You Think You Can Dance" - though no specific date has been set as of the current time.
