Madonna Gets An Early Birthday Present

Madonna, who turns 50 on August 16, got an early birthday present from her home state of Michigan - more than 500 fans sang "Happy Birthday" to her. That's Madonna there on the left.

The Material Girl is seen here at the Fourth Annual Traverse City Film Festival with founder Michael Moore. "You can take the girl out of Michigan but you can't take Michigan out of the girl," Madonna told the hundreds of fans gathered in a theater for the premiere of her documentary I Am Because We Are, about orphans in Malawi.

You know, I once had hundreds of people sing "Happy Birthday" to me, too. Well, actually it wasn't "Happy Birthday," it was "Take Me Out to The Ballgame." Okay, so it wasn't really just for me, it was being sung at a baseball game by hundreds of drunk fans trying to get on the JumboTron. Hey, a girl can dream, can't she?

Fresh out of the Shower: Katie Holmes at the Critics Choice Awards

Katie Holmes made a surprise appearance last night at the 13th Annual Critics Choice Awards. I wonder if she hung out with Brad and Angie. Holmes presented the award for Best Comedy Movie to Juno co-stars Ellen Page and Allison Janney.

According to style watchers and people-who-know-about-these-things, Holmes was wearing a gown by designer Lanvin.

I would have guessed she was running late and grabbed the shower curtain on the way out, but then again I just found out shoulder pads and rainbow suspenders had gone out of style.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt at Critics Choice Awards

Critic's Choice Awards saves the day: You can get your fix of Angie and Brad here since you won't be seeing them at the Golden Globes. The philanthropic couple attended the Critics Choice Awards on Monday, held at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in Santa Monica, Calif.

Brad looks a little dazed here - I wonder if he's deep in thought about what really happened between Britney and Dr. Phil.

The awards took place just hours after it was announced that the Golden Globe Awards, scheduled for Sunday, would be cancelled in light of the ongoing writer's strike. The Critics Choice Awards, presented by the Broadcast Film Critics Association, isn't covered by guild contracts so stars didn't have to cross picket lines to attend.
