Reese Witherspoon stepped out on Friday afternoon with her son Deacon and her 14-year-old daughter Ava, who carried the Oscar winner's 14-month-old son Tennessee. So cute!

The foursome lunched at Lamonica's New York Pizza in Westwood, and prior to that Reese hit the gym and went shopping at Roberta Roller Rabbit in Santa Monica. Reese chatted with Elle earlier this year about how being a parent has made her a better person, telling the mag, "Somebody was saying to me the other day, 'Oh, people get less interesting when they have kids.' I just don't think that's true. I feel like I was so confused before I had kids, I almost got in my own way. Having kids made me clearer about who I was as a woman. I just wanted to exhibit good qualities for my daughter."

We're wondering if that interview took place before or after her embarrassing arrest for being drunk and disorderly back in April...

Tom Cruise has dropped his $50 million lawsuit against Bauer Media, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Cruise sued the company in October 2012 after one of its magazines, Life & Style, ran a story claiming the 51-year-old actor had "abandoned" his daughter Suri. The article came out after Cruise and Katie Holmes ended their five-year marriage in June 2012, and at the time, his attorney Bert Fields said in a statement, "Tom doesn't go around suing people. He's not a litigious guy. But when these sleaze peddlers try to make money with disgusting lies about his relationship with his child, you bet he's going to sue."

In his legal paperwork, Cruise said, "I have in no way cut Suri out of my life -- whether physically, emotionally, financially, or otherwise," and during a deposition in September, the actor was forced to answer some very personal questions about his divorce and Scientology.

"You have to work at it. I've gotten very good at it. I tell wonderful stories," the Oblivion star said of making time for his daughter when he's busy filming movies. "I also find that, you know, Suri is a very happy child, and confident, and has a good sense of herself."

When lawyers asked Cruise if Holmes divorced him to protect Suri from Scientology, he got rather testy and replied, "I find that question offensive. … There is no need to protect my daughter from my religion." When asked again if this was one of the reasons behind their high-profile split, he said, "That was one of the assertions, yes … There are many other aspects to the divorce."

Yesterday Kourtney Kardashian and Kendall Jenner went shopping at Neiman Marcus in Topanga Canyon, and Kourt had so many bags she could hardly carry them all!

In other Kardashian holiday news, it's being reported that Kendall's beau Harry Styles has been invited to spend Christmas with the family in Los Angeles! “He gets lonely sometimes — most of the other 1D boys have girlfriends,” a source told HEAT. “[Kris has] offered Bruce’s Malibu mansion to the whole family. Having Harry over would give them kudos.”

“Harry really likes Kendall," the source continued. "She’s not like he would’ve expected, she asked him to help her give out food packages for charity over the festive period, they had massages at the Gansevoort Hotel in NYC, and she talked him out of getting another tattoo."

Think he'll actually come out here? After all, she flew to New York just to be with him for 48 hours, and she went all the way to London to see him last week, so it's not totally out of the question!

Olivia Wilde showed off her baby bump on the red carpet earlier this week, but as of late her maternity style seems to be baggy sweaters and jeans!

On Friday afternoon the pregnant actress took her pooch Paco to the groomers in Culver City, and she flashed X17 photographers a quick smile coming and going. While Olivia and fiance Jason Sudeikis are gearing up to be parents, she's going to be busy promoting her films over the next few months as well.

Wilde stars in the critically acclaimed flick Her, and she recently wrapped production on The Longest Week and Better Living Through Chemistry. After that (we're guessing this is after she gives birth) she will appear in Black Dog, Red Dog with James Franco and Chloe Sevigny.

All we want for Christmas is for Miley Cyrus to keep her tongue in her mouth. Too tall an order? We thought so -- we'll just take a pony instead.

The oh-so-raunchy, twerkalicious singer posted yet another tongue-wagging selfie yesterday -- this one showing off her makeup-free countenance, and wearing nothing but a towel. We'd be shocked -- if we didn't realize this is probably the most amount of material we've seen on her in months.

Along with the shower selfie, the 21-year-old hit maker wrote, "Turntupshowertime." Whatever that means -- we stopped trying to decipher what Miley is trying to say many moons ago.

The Bangerz singer recently admitted to Barbara Walters during the Barbara Walters Presents: The 10 Most Fascinating People of 2013 special, why she keeps sticking her tongue. "I get embarrassed to take pictures. That’s actually the truth," she said.

"I'm so embarrassed, because people are taking pictures of me," she continued. "And I just don’t know how to -- I don’t know how to smile, and just be awkward, so I stick my tongue out, because I don’t know what else to do."

Yeah sure Miley, you seem like a real self-conscious wallflower ... A lot of "awkward" people grind on Santa Claus wearing what amounts to sparkling bikini while on stage. And yeah, so many "awkward" people take photos of themselves in their own bathrooms wearing nothing but towels, using their own phones to take the photos, and posting said photos on their own Instagram. Tons.

What an epic disappointment! We've been waiting for Vanity Fair's "epic takedown" of Gwyneth Paltrow with bated breath for ages! But now it appears that Gwynnie's battle against VF and its editor-in-chief Graydon Carter has just ended, since the famed newsman has reportedly called a cease fire and raised his white flag. And we are outraged!

"Gwyneth and Graydon spoke on the phone a few weeks ago," an inside source told Us Weekly. "They worked out some of their differences." Aww how sweet!

Apparently after Graydon and Gwyneth's heart-to-heart, the editor has agreed to forgo the mag's previously planned "epic takedown" of the actress in lieu of doing a much "softer" piece, sources tell Us Weekly.

Oh they worked out their differences, did they? Well bully for them! We hope Graydon's lil' chit chat with Gwyneth is keeping him all warm at night because along with the mag's big loss against the actress -- we know Graydon has lost a lot of respect from the journalism community for caving.

Gwynnie and Graydon first locked horns earlier this year when the actress refused to let VF do an in-depth feature on her. Subsequently, the mag retaliated at the power move, opting to go in a different direction and write an explosive expose, which allegedly uncovered an affair between the "Seven" actress and Elle Macpherson’s billionaire husband Jeff Soffer. Allegedly after finding out that Graydon's publication was forging ahead with a scathing in-depth profile on her, the 41-year-old Oscar winner attempted to wage a one-woman coup against the publication, urging her A-list friends to boycott the mag.

It appears as though Gwyneth's strong-arming tactics have worked. A few weeks ago RadarOnline was reporting that the magazine was going with a "softer" direction in regards to their feature and now these recent reports claiming Graydon and Gwynenth have spoken (and made up) -- make the squashed "takedown" seem all but official. Unfortunately, it appears as though the public flogging of Lady Goop will never see the light of day.

Oh come on VF, this is so disappointing! How could you give into Gwynnie's demands like that?! We thought we didn't negotiate with terrorists!

We're just so glad that an overly entitled actress can use her overly entitled powers to strong arm a major publication into changing their article. And we're just so glad that a woman who basically doesn't seem to think poor people exist was able to use her celebrity status to quell the storm of her own making. And we're also just so super duper glad Vanity Fair let her do all that. Kudos to all in this situation -- because we're sure Gwynniepants never gets her own way.

We are so disheartened by this major cessation, we kind of want to boycott VF -- just for giving in!

Hot mama!

Fergie went for a hike in the Hollywood Hills yesterday, and the singer showed no sign of lingering pregnancy pounds as she squeezed in a mid-morning exercise session.

The Black Eyed Peas front woman looked unbelievable in a black spandex outfit with a flannel tied around her waist, and we're dying to know what she was jamming to with those headphones!

This will be Fergie Ferg and husband Josh Duhamel's first Christmas with newborn son Axl, so we wonder how they will be celebrating?

We caught the TV actor grabbing coffee this morning before dropping off an older woman at LAX, so maybe grandma already came to town for a visit!

Not only are we jealous that she's on the beach, but that bod never quits!

South African stunner Candice Swanepoel shared some Instagram snapshots from behind the scenes of her latest photo shoot for Victoria's Secret, and she's convinced us that she pretty much has the best life ever.

"Love the new cheeky bottoms by Victoria’s Secret. #Finally #Peace #StBarts," she wrote alongside the shot of her perfect derriere. The 25-year-old model added a few more pictures earlier this week of herself aboard a massive yacht in Turks and Caicos, and yes, it looks like she got to keep some (if not all) of the swimwear she modeled over the last few days. We're SO jealous!
