Tom with Suri on Tuesday. (James Devaney/WireImage)Tom Cruise said he would visit his daughter Suri as soon as he wrapped filming "Oblivion," and on Monday, just days after he finished, he flew overnight straight to New York City to see his little girl. The "Mission: Impossible" star was spotted carrying the 6-year-old — who he has not seen since weeks before Katie Holmes filed for divorce on June 29 — on Tuesday morning into The Greenwich Hotel, where he'll be staying the next couple of days instead of at the apartment he and Holmes shared during their marriage (Holmes and Suri have since moved into their own place). Although it was reported that Cruise wanted to see his daughter in a neutral location, the actress, 33, apparently wants to keep Suri on a schedule to make the divorce easier on her. And the doting dad is doing just that: Later in the day, he brought her to her usual gymnastics class at Chelsea Piers.  The child clutched a stuffed animal and clung to her father as they exited and were swarmed by photographers.

The California-based pop band debuted their new single from their upcoming sixth album Push and Shove on Monday morning to much fan fare, especially from their famous fans. Lady Gaga, Khloe Kardashian, Ryan Seacrest, and Paramore's Hayley Williams have all been tweeting their excitement over new No Doubt music — and their new song does not disappoint. "Settle Down," which was produced by deejay-extraordinaire Diplo, evokes the summer with its reggae rift and Gwen Stefani's sassy vocals as she sings, "Get in line and settle down." Within hours of its official release, it was already No. 7 on iTunes' Pop 100 chart.

Madonna lets it all hang out in her new music video. (New Press Photo / Splash News)After three decades in the business, Madonna's still got it. The Material Girl shows it all off in teeny-tiny shorts and a bustier and writhes around in the backseat of a vintage Cadillac convertible with a bunch of young — and, of course, very hot — men while taking joyride around Italy in the music video for her new song, "Turn up the Radio," which debuted on Monday.

Rihanna relaxes. (Islandpaps/Splash News)It's been a rough few weeks for Rihanna since the death of her beloved grandmother, but she's finding a reason to smile again. The "Where Have You Been" singer let loose on the water in Barbados with her friends and family on Thursday, boating, tubing — and drinking some beer. Seeing Rihanna have some fun is a welcome sight since she's looked so glum since her grandmother Clara Braithwaite lost her battle with cancer in a New York City hospital last month. After a memorial service in Brooklyn, Rihanna and her family buried GranGranDolly, as she was nicknamed, in their native Barbados on Tuesday.

The Grammers. (WireImage)It's a bittersweet day for Kelsey Grammer and his wife Kayte. In the early hours of Friday morning, the couple welcomed a daughter, Faith Evangeline Elisa, who weighed in at 6 pounds, 2 ounces. "We are thrilled," the couple announced in a statement. "Mother and child are in excellent health." The happy news also came with a heavy heart since Kayte lost the son she was also carrying shortly after she and the "Boss" star revealed their double joy earlier this year. "This was not something we cared to make known publicly at the time," Grammer, 57, and Kayte, 31, added. "It was unspeakably painful and we know that people will understand our desire to keep the news private then, as we know they will respect our privacy in this matter now. A glorious birth with a lingering sadness is ours today. We choose to celebrate the life that has been given us. We proudly introduce our Faith to the world today looking forward to the days ahead and the children yet to come."

Taylor covered up. (Roger Kisby/Getty Images)The tat she's removing. (Bennett Raglin/WireImage)Who knew a pretty face wasn't enough in the fashion industry — especially when you're Niki Taylor! But that's the case for the supermodel who has quite a few tattoos on her 5'11" body, so she's in the very painful process of removing four of them, including a fairly large cover-up piece on her right arm, which she says is the one that is often the "deal breaker" to potential clients. "I am removing it because it is stopping me from getting some work I think," Taylor tells omg! of the ink on her right forearm, which is a hodgepodge of cover-ups over the years. She got the original, "Amor Vincit Omnia," Latin for "Love conquers all," in 2002 to match one belonging to her then-boyfriend Keith Urban, who has since covered his as well. "People's eyes go right to it. It doesn't matter how acceptable tattoos are or how many people have them, [attention] goes right to this one on my arm so I've decided to remove it, although I still do have tattoos in other places."

The "American Idol" judges are dropping like flies. Just hours after Jennifer Lopez said during a "Today" interview that "it's time for me to go," the Aerosmith frontman (and king of the wacky one-liners) shocked everyone when he announced he was quitting the Fox singing competition after two seasons to focus on his iconic rock band. "After some long ... hard ... thoughts … I've decided it's time for me to let go of my mistress 'American Idol' before she boils my rabbit," Tyler said in a statement, referring to the movie "Fatal Attraction" in which Glenn Close's character cooks her lover's daughter's pet. "I strayed from my first love, Aerosmith, and I'm back — but instead of begging on my hands and knees, I got two fists in the air and I'm kicking the door open with my band."

Sheen and Slash on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. (Chelsea Lauren)Charlie Sheen has made it clear where he stands in the 15-year battle between Axl Rose and his former Guns N' Roses bandmates. At the ceremony to honor former GnR guitarist Slash with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Tuesday, the "Anger Management" actor got in a dig at the "Welcome to the Jungle" singer, who is well known for his jerky antics onstage and off. "You know, it's quite fitting, I think, that Slash is getting a star on the very street that Axl Rose will one day be sleeping on," Sheen, who attended a Rose-fronted GnR concert in L.A. in March, joked during his speech to fans gathered in front of the Hard Rock Café.
