Celebrity Photos of the Week: The Remarkable Return of Katie Holmes (and Gunther, too!)
Now that TIFF is over, we can finally get back to the real task of ridiculing celebrities for our personal amusement. Toward that cause, here’s former child star Haley Joel Osment, still best known for The Sixth Sense, at the L.A. premiere of his new film titled Tusk. He sees desert peopleKevin Winter/Getty Images
And here we see Justin Long, who is apparently the star of Tusk but still better known for dating Drew Barrymore and those TV commercials for Apple computers. Few people can pull off wearing a jean jacket to a movie premiere and Long isn’t one of themKevin Winter/Getty Images
Next up: Tusk writer-director Kevin Smith shamelessly drags his teen daughter Harley into hyping his new movie. In this shot, Harley appears copacetic with her new shilling dutiesKevin Winter/Getty Images
Here, not so muchKevin Winter/Getty Images
Meanwhile in New York, actor James Michael Tyler – Gunther! – was the only name they could get to show up at the Central Perk Pop-Up Celebrating the 20th Anniversary of Friends event. Yeesh, this TV milestone couldn’t possibly get any bleaker, right?Paul Zimmerman/Getty Images
Why, yes, it could. At the same event, Tyler dutifully posed with musician Danny Wilde of The Rembrandts, who wrote and performed the Friends theme song. So no one told you life was gonna be this way?Paul Zimmerman/Getty Images
Elsewhere in New York, Alec Baldwin managed to refrain from physically or verbally assaulting paparazzi at The New York Philharmonic’s 173rd Opening Gala. Our best guess: The tux was a rentalStephen Lovekin/Getty Images
Now back to L.A. where actor Miles Teller enlisted the help of Jessica Szohr to get his name out there at the premiere of the film Two Night Stand. Seriously, this Miles Teller kid is getting tons of press these days. He may even be the next Shia LaBeouf!Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images
Yep, we can see it. Next stop: Transformers!Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images
Now on to Italy, where Vogue editrix Anna Wintour and fashion icon Kate Moss just couldn’t stop laughing at the Gucci spring-summer collection show during Milan Fashion Week. Up until now, nobody’s ever seen Wintour even crack a smile!ALESSANDRO GAROFALO/Reuters
The source of their amusement: Moss’s bang-on impression of former beau Pete Doherty, replete with gassy belches and dazed expression. She’s still got it!ALESSANDRO GAROFALO/Reuters
Now we return to L.A., where anyone and everyone with a show on NBC was conscripted to appear at the network’s co-party with Vanity Fair to promote the new fall season. To register his personal displeasure, Terry Crews wore a pink tuxMARIO ANZUONI/Reuters
And isn’t that Katherine Heigl, the haughty actress who left the hit TV series Grey’s Anatomy to launch a film career, failed miserably at the movies, and is now forced to return to the small screen in the new series State of Affairs? Well, at least she’s not wearing a forced smile these daysMARIO ANZUONI/Reuters
Ah, there’s that forced smile. You never let us down, Katherine!MARIO ANZUONI/Reuters
Also at the event: Lauren Graham and Peter Krause, formerly of Gilmore Girls and Six Feet Under, respectively, but more recently toiling on the NBC series Parenthood, soon to launch its sixth and final season. And nobody waved goodbyeMARIO ANZUONI/Reuters
Which brings us to our pinnacle celebrity moment of the week: The ‘Celebration of Katie Holmes’ event in New York, which was sponsored by DuJour magazine and presumably intended as some manner of comeback vehicle for the former Dawson’s Creek star. She ain’t Mrs. Cruise no more!Andrew H. Walker
Naturally, Katie had to perform several duties in accordance with being, uh, celebrated, among them posing with DuJour Media CEO Jason Binn. And she used to complain about her ex being too short?Andrew H. Walker
Somehow, Katie managed to grin and bear it when the magazine presented her with a purse that was featured in the latest issue (and bumped her off the cover)Michael Loccisano
Finally, parental reality intervened: ‘Wait a minute, who’s watching Suri?’Michael Loccisano
