Katie Holmes is the October cover girl for Marie Claire magazine. - Mark AbrahamsShe's just 31, but Katie Holmes has changed a lot since she first charmed us on "Dawson's Creek" back in 1998. Not only is she an entertainer -- she stars in and executive produced the upcoming drama "The Romantics" -- but the former perky, relatable teen queen is now a budding style icon, half of Hollywood power couple TomKat, and mom to one of the world's most famous kids.

In the new issue of Marie Claire, the brunette beauty opens up about the family's life at home, beginning with the revelation that despite her famous parents, 4-year-old Suri is not allowed free reign. "We wake up, and we do the same thing," Katie explains. "She does her chores. I think it's very important. If she doesn't get her chores done, I notice she's not really herself. She has to make her bed, she has to take her dishes to the sink, she has to put her clothes in the laundry -- you know, that basic stuff."

Of course, the precocious little girl's life isn't exactly tough either. Her mom is so dedicated to her

Snoop Dogg hangs with his boys at Corde's '80s-themed 16th birthday bash. - Arnold Turner/WireImage.comShould Justin Bieber be worried? Snoop Dogg says he plans to turn David and Victoria Beckham's oldest son, 11-year-old Brooklyn, into a JBiebs-style star. The rapper reportedly wants to make the adorable pre-teen the frontman of a music group that will also include Snoop's sons, 16-year-old Corde and 12-year-old Cordell, and eventually even Brooklyn's younger brothers, 8-year-old Romeo and 5-year-old Cruz (for his dancing expertise, natch!).

"Beckham's three boys have never known anything but the spotlight since they were born, and if they have the talent of their mum and dad then they are destined for big things," Snoop told Britain's Daily Star. "Corde and Cordell really want to get into the record industry, and if they formed a group with the Beckham boys I think they could be really successful. I think probably only Brooklyn is old enough to be in the group yet, but as soon as Romeo and Cruz are old enough they can join the mix, man."

The former "Father Hood" star says he's even

Aly Michalka and Ashley Tisdale cover the October issue of Seventeen. - Cliff WattsAudiences know Ashley Tisdale best as mean girl Sharpay from "High School Musical" and Aly Michalka as half of the musical sister act Aly & AJ, but that could change now that they're starring in the new series, "Hellcats," which premieres tonight (September 8) at 9 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.

At least for Ashley, playing a college cheerleader might not seem like a stretch, right? But the 25-year-old reveals in the new Seventeen magazine that she does have her shy moments. "I know I come off like a very outgoing person, and yeah, I'm outgoing, but there's also a part of me that still likes to be in my little shell sometimes," she says, adding that she's also one to look on the bright side. "I'm a very positive person, that's something that's like my character Savannah," Ashley notes. "If I feel like someone's trying to bring me down, I just walk away from it."

Aly, whose character Marti is a more reluctant addition to the squad, says she's always looked up to her co-star. "We were only four

Justin Bieber stars in Teen Vogue 's Young Hollywood issue. - Alasdair McLellanFor people outside of Justin Bieber's core audience -- say, anyone who's not a 12-year-old girl -- it can be easy to dismiss the teen idol as a blip in pop culture, the answer to a trivia question about this decade in 20 years. But that might be a mistake.

Yes, he's only 16, and his adorable haircut makes it difficult to take him seriously, but JBiebs is a star by any definition. For proof, consider that he recently sold out New York's legendary Madison Square Garden in 22 minutes! Footage from that show will be packaged as part of a documentary of the former YouTube sensation's life that's set to hit theaters on Valentine's Day. He's also filmed a guest role on one of TV's biggest shows, "CSI," and his future most likely includes a movie produced by a guy named Will Smith. Maybe you've heard of him?

And that's not all. In a new interview with Teen Vogue, Justin makes it clear his world takeover is not yet complete. He suggests Selena Gomez would be the perfect co-star for him in a
