Meet the New Katie Holmes

She looks the same as ever, but the Katie Holmes of yore is long gone. Now that this is a bad thing, says the actress in the new Marie Claire. “I’m excited to begin a new phase in life,” the 32-year-old actress says. “Roles I may have been afraid to play before, places I want to travel to with my daughter. I’d like to build a design business. But not too fast. When she’s not playing a slutty pumpkin on How I Met Your Mother , Holmes is first and foremost a mom to adorable five-year-old daughter, Suri Cruise. Holmes, who recently hit the big screen in the thriller Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark , says she better understands certain roles thanks to being a mom. “You will do anything for that person, and you have strength you didn’t know that you had, which is what I like about my character,” she said. “So I think that being a mom definitely gave me much more insight to this character.” Follow the link to read Holmes’ full interview in Marie Claire .

Camille Grammer Details Husband’s Divorce Reaction: No Remorse…

You won’t believe this, but Camille Grammer is speaking publicly about her divorce from Kelsey Grammer. The Real Housewife is featured in the latest issue of TV Guide Magazine. When asked about her ex-husband’s reaction to their split, Camille recounts an exchange she had with the father of her two children: “[He became] a different person than the one I was married to. I said, ‘We’ve been together 14 years. How can you just throw us away?’ And he said, ‘Fourteen? Oh, that’s just a number.’ I said, ‘What about our kids?’ and he said ‘They’ll get over it.’ He was very cruel. He even said, ‘I feel no remorse.'” Kelsey and Camille continue to battle over those kids in court , of course. When did Grammer know her marriage was over? When “the phone calls stopped,” she says, and Kesley would just text her goodnight instead of checking in. Kelsey, of course, has been anything for an angel himself. He even went on the Australian morning show Sunrise yesterday and said he got Camille her gig with The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills as a “parting gift.” “It was a very difficult marriage and a very difficult decade,” he said. “I thought, ‘So long, here’s a present for you.'” Man, these two deserve each other. How did it not work out for them?!? [Photos: Pacific Coast News]

Beyonce Speaks on Motherhood, Husband, Liberation

Having successfully shot down the most ridiculous rumor of the year , Beyonce can return her focus to her impending state of motherhood. That’s the main topic for the singer in the latest issue of Harper’s Bazaar , as she opens up to the magazine about why she waited until now to start a family: “It was important to me that I gave myself time to focus on becoming the woman I want to be, building my empire, my relationship, and my self-worth, before I became a mother. Now God has blessed us with the ultimate.” Beyonce says patience was also a virtue in her relationship with Jay Z, about whom she has nothing but many great things to say: “We have been together since I was 20 years old. We took our time and developed an unbreakable friendship before we got married. I admire his ability to inspire others. “To me, Jay represents the American dream. Jay’s music has helped define our generation. All that he has overcome and worked to achieve gives millions hope that they can become whatever they want to be. I respect him so much; he is a great man and a great artist.” Finally, Beyonce talked about the level she’s reached in both her personal life and her professional life: “I am finally at the stage in my life where I am not so concerned with other people’s opinions about my life decisions. It is so liberating to really know what I want, what truly makes me happy, what I will not tolerate. I have learned that it is no one else’s job to take care of me but me.” For more from the star, pick up this issue of Harper’s Bazaar.

Hilary Swank on Weird Chechnyan Birthday Party Appearance: My Bad!

Hindsight being 20-20, Oscar winner Hilary Swank says she probably should have negged an invite top the birthday party for the President of Chechnya last week. You know, with the dude being accused of torturing and killing people and stuff. Swank, Jean Claude Van Damme and others attended a concert in Chechnya for president Ramzan Kadyrov on October 5, to the dismay of human rights groups. Hilary Swank Greets President of Chechnya “I deeply regret attending this event. If I had a full understanding of what this event was apparently intended to be, I would never have gone,” said Swank. The actress says at the time she accepted the invitation to the concert, she had no idea the event was intended to honor Ramzan Kadyrov personally. Swank gave a speech at the event, however, and even wished him a happy birthday. Asked how she knows that, she replied, “I read … I do my research.” Kadyrov has been accused of torturing and murdering his political rivals, though Kadyrov claims that’s all lies, made up by opponents to make him look bad. Mission accomplished in that case.

Redmond O’Neal: Strapped, Sent Back to Rehab

Redmond O’Neal dodged a bullet in his probation case, but was fitted with an ankle monitor and told that he’s going to prison for six YEARS if he effs up again. The 26-year-old’s probation was revoked in September after he allegedly snuck out of rehab, ordered drugs on a payphone and was later arrested with heroin . A judge sent him back to the treatment facility instead of jail, with the stern warning that this is his final shot, and a state-of-the-art GPS monitoring bracelet. This thing is no joke. According to law enforcement, the device features real-time cameras that take a snapshot of Redmond’s whereabouts every five minutes. If he steps outside his assigned area, an alarm goes off. Redmond O’Neal’s long history battling drugs is well documented. He pleaded no contest to drug and weapons charges in August and earned a YEAR in rehab. As we said earlier, if Redmond screws up again, he faces up to six years in prison. With his track record, we’d put the odds of a screw-up around 50/50. [Photo: Pacific Coast News]

David Boreanaz on Affair(s): It Saved My Marriage!

Bones star David Boreanaz believes in the power of positive thinking. The actor, who infamously slept with Rachel Uchitel , then came clean about another affair in May 2010 after an alleged extortion attempt, says that ultimately, his marriage to Jaime Bergman has been strengthened in the long term. “In a sacred ground like marriage, you find yourself out of it at certain times for reasons unknown that can be destructive,” the 42-year-old explains. “There could be a demon that kind of comes out and overtakes you,” but instead, the pair’s entire ordeal has been “a bonding experience, in the long run.” We doubt Jaime would make that word choice, but we’re glad they worked it out. In any relationship, there are “fantastic” moments and ” extremely rocky ” moments, adds Boreanaz, who married Bergman back in November 2001. “Do I believe in giving up?” Boreanaz asks. “No, I don’t. I’m a fighter. I’m a lover.” Bergman and Boreanz are parents to son Jaden, 9, and daughter Bella, 2. He’ll soon be a father on TV, too. Bones returns November 3 on Fox. [Photo: WENN.com]
