Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx spotted in Los Angeles ahead of holiday weekend
This week marks exactly five years since Katie Holmes filed for divorce from Tom Cruise. The terms of the divorce agreement have remained confidential since then, but multiple tabloids have reported Katie agreed not to date anyone publicly for a period of five years following their split. On Thursday, June 29, E! News spotted the actress, who just days ago was in New York filming "The Gift," in a parking garage at the Century City Mall. Less than a mile away at the same time, her rumored boyfriend of four years, Jamie Foxx was seen outside the Century City Hotel with luggage at his feet. The implication, of course, is that the pair plan to spend the weekend together, as they reportedly did in Paris last month. In April, sources told Us Weekly Katie is "tired of playing the hiding game," adding that she and Jamie plan to "go public" soon. Reps for Katie and Tom announced she'd filed for divorce on June 29, 2012.

As the crowd rose to cheer, he continued: "I don't need it! I don't need it! That's right! Stand up! Stand up! So y'all, I'm a Trail Blazer, I guess, according to this award. But so is everybody in this room, and I'm so glad to be working on this project with you guys. I can't wait to see what Chicago and the DuSable Museum of African American History does." Before leaving the stage, the rapper, philanthropist and public education advocate added: "Thank you Mom and Dad." he reportedly hugged his parents before leaving the building.

People think Alex Rodriguez is Jennifer Lopez's bodyguard
What's it like dating Jennifer Lopez? MLB legend and current J.Lo BF Alex Rodriguez was more than happy to shed some light on the experience on "The Tonight Show" this week. "I gotta share something with everyone, because this is one of the most humbling experiences of my life," he said, according to the New York Post. "When I was with the Yankees, and we won the world championship, and you wear the pinstripes, you think you're pretty cool," said A-Rod, smiling. "But then, you hang out with Jennifer, and they confuse me with the security guard all the time." Case in point: the Met Gala. "I promise you," said Alex.

Lily Collins was praised for losing weight for 'To the Bone'
Gah. Lily Collins has been outspoken about her own battle with eating disorders, writing about the experience in her memoir and speaking candidly during interviews about her new Netflix movie, "To the Bone." Not everyone seems to get her message, though. "I was leaving my apartment one day and someone I've known for a long time, my mom's age, said to me, 'Oh, wow, look at you!'" Lily recalls in the new edition of The Edit (via Us Weekly). "I tried to explain [I lost weight for a role] and she goes, 'No! I want to know what you're doing, you look great!' I got into the car with my mom and said, 'That is why the problem exists.'" Both Lily and her mom admit it was difficult to watch Lily play a young woman starving herself, as Lily once had. Even looking at photo shoots from when she was at the weight her role required was tough for the actress. "I told my publicist that if I could snap my fingers and gain 10 pounds right that second," Lily told The Edit, "I would." "To the Bone" arrives on Netflix July 14.

Congratulations, Happy Birthday !!" Other celebs who posted birthday wishes included Dionne Warwick, Wil Wheaton and Monica Lewinsky. Multiple gift offers came in, as well.

On Thursday, June 28, Gillian retweeted a Washington Post tweet that read, "'The X-Files' writers room reportedly has hired only men. How does this still happen?"

The next day, when ET posted a story about the gender imbalance, Gillian shared that one as well — but she clarified that she wasn't going after the show's producers with malice. "Not 'slam', not 'rip', just stating truth," she cautioned, referencing the language used in ET's article. "I believe we can do better. #TheXFiles," Gillian added.
