Tom Cruise knows how to make an impact around the world, and the 49-year-old action star is certainly proving his starpower on the red carpet for the Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol premiere at the Pushinsky Theatre in Moscow.
While posing alongside sexy co-star Paula Patton, Cruise flashed his megawatt smile to promote the fourth installment of the successful franchise. Does this guy age? Wow!
Following the Russian premiere, Tom and the MI:4 cast will head to Brazil and then the U.S. for more red carpet appearances. Hopefully wife Katie Holmes and daughter Suri will get to join him soon!

After his 72-day marriage to Kim Kardashian ended with a divorce filing, Kris Humphries is ready to move and on with his life, minus the drama.
The NBA star appeared on Good Morning America Friday morning, with mom Debra, to speak out about his career and charity projects -- but the hosts seemed more interested in his divorce from the reality star than discussing his upcoming projects.
After being grilled by the GMA hosts on why his marriage with Kim K ended so quickly, Humphries expressed:
"For me, it's just certain things happen in life and you've got to move forward. Through everything I'm just focused on family and preparing for basketball. Basketball has always been something I've taken really serious and I continue to do that and I'm just moving forward."
The former couple, who dated just 8 months before tying the knot in a lavish Santa Barbara ceremony, are now seeing their relationship play out on the current season of Kourtney & Kim Take New York -- Kris says he doesn't watch.
So does Kris blame his failed marriage on reality TV?
"I have never really been someone to watch the show, on TV, or anything like that. I can't say for sure or not for sure [if the cameras hurt my marriage]. It's the only time I've been married. I've been in the NBA since I was 19 years old, but it's a different level. I'm focused on just what I can control. I don't really play into all the gossip and things that take place, but that's life."
For now, Kim K's ex-hubby is focusing on his charity, which helps fights childhood obesity, and playing professional basketball.
"Really right now I'm focused on basketball and other things will take care of themselves. It's a great day for the NBA and the fans," he said. "The only things I watch on TV of myself is playing basketball. I've never really been one to watch the show on TV. For me my focus is just basketball, my foundation, my family and moving through life."
Kris's mom added: "The important thing is that we stay close as a family - it's our faith in God that carries us through all of these times. We have so much to be thankful for right now. We're looking forward not backward."
Humphries recently filed for annulment after Kim filed for divorce on October 31.

Bradley Cooper definitely deserves his title of "Sexiest Man Alive."
The Hangover actor, sporting a short buzzed 'do and leather jacket, cruised through a parking garage in LA with a few friends.
Just recently, Cooper questioned whether Ryan Gosling deserved the "Sexiest" title over him.
While on the Graham Norton Show, Cooper told the host, "There was such a backlash to when they announced it and Ryan Gosling, who I love and I just did a movie with him -- he's the greatest ... And it's like him walking around and he literally looks like he's in a photoshoot, like he just came off the runway ..."
Looks like the 36-year-old actor is also gearing up for Hangover 3. He told Norton, "I know [director] Todd Phillips is working on the script."

John Mayer has completely changed his tune.
The "Waiting on the World to Change" singer, who deleted his Twitter account after receiving some flack for his "offensive" remarks, has ironically written a blog post that expresses his distaste for the overuse of sarcasm.
Mayer expressed:
"If you want to be truly intimidating, if you want to make an impact, if you want to have a strong connection with others, just be sincere. Sarcasm is not an attitude, and it's not a personality trait. It's a style of rhetoric meant to be used occasionally to highlight a larger point. Saying you're a sarcastic person is like saying your favorite cuisine is salt. Sarcasm is easy because you never have to take a stance. And that’s just the problem; It's so noncommittal."
The musician -- who once called former flame Jessica Simpson "sexual napalm" went on to say:
"I don't know when the lines got crossed and it was deemed attractive to be ambiguous and critical. Girls don't like it when guys do it and guys don't like it when girls do it. I live in a city of cool people with the absolute worst PR representatives: themselves."
Mayer concluded with the message: "Be yourself, even if that means being unsure or uneasy. Let someone else put you at ease. Meet them in the middle. Be sincere."

It's no wonder that when Gwen Stefani smiles, people stop and take notice. With that platinum blonde hair and her signature red lips, she's gorgeous!
The mama of two greeted fans with a grin at the premiere of In the Land of Blood and Honey at ArcLight Cinemas in Hollywood.
Gwen and the film's director, Angelina Jolie, are buds ... so it's nice to see the No Doubt singer and fashion designer take time out of her busy schedule to support her friend.
We love that white jumpsuit paired with those strappy wedges. The "Just A Girl" singer can do no wrong in the fashion department!

Finally some positive news for Lindsay Lohan -- she's ahead of schedule to complete her court-ordered community service!
The Mean Girls star has reportedly been putting in her time at the LA County coroner's office on the DL, working as many as 12 days a month as a janitor at the county morgue.
The troubled starlet is scheduled to appear before Judge Stephanie Sautner Dec. 14 for a probation update, which will definitely have a better outcome than her last hearing, which resulted in a 30 day jail sentence.
Meanwhile, Linds is set to appear on the cover of Playboy's January issue this month, which was leaked online ahead of next week’s big reveal on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Dec. 15.
Lohan will stop by Ellen December 15 to show off her sexy spread, which Dina Lohan describes as “tastefully done.”

Poor little Harper has a cold!
Victoria Beckham looked a bit tired as she hurriedly carted her precious 5-month-old into a doctor's office in LA, on Thursday.
The baby girl caught a cold on a recent trip to London, where mom Victoria was in town to collect the prestigious Designer Brand of the Year award, at the British Fashion Awards late last month.

Could they be any more gorgeous?
Golden couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were feeling the blues as they stepped out in the matching hue for the premiere of In The Land of Blood, in LA Thursday evening.
So what left them feeling so blue? Perhaps it was Angelina's directorial debut about victims of rape during the Bosnian war. Kind of a downer ... the couple walked the red carpet and made a beeline for the back door, where we caught them heading out to a romantic dinner!
The pair stayed at the Magnolia restaurant in Hollywood until 1am! The retro dinner, which serves comfort food like Mac 'n Cheese and a BLT sandwich, is hardly a venue in which you'd expect to see this superstar couple in their finest gown and suit but hey, Brad and Angelina aren't your average superstar Hollywood couple!
