We’re so excited to get this going, playing live is something we’ve been loving for about 20 years now, if you can believe it! (since I’ve joined the band anyway). The plan is to keep writing and working on the album simultaneously. You can’t rush creativity sometimes, but as it unfolds I’m certain that 2009 sure is going to be a fun year. Can’t wait to see you all again. Tom”

Josh Duhamel goes to the shore of Hudson Bay near Churchill, Manitoba, Canada on Wednesday to learn first-hand how climate change is affecting the polar bear population.

The 36-year-old Transformers star told ET Canada, “The bears sort of symbolize something global and if we think globally, we have to think locally and if we’re thinking locally we have to be conscious of things we can do to reduce, you know? They’re just amazing creatures, they’re just awesome. The more I learn, the more interesting they are.”

Josh joined scientists from Polar Bears International on the excursion. He toured the area on a Tundra Buggy and in a helicopter and also recorded a PSA for the non-profit organization.

In her latest GOOP newsletter, the 36-year-old actress shares “six different perspectives on what it means to be grateful for Thanksgiving” from Cynthia Bourgeault (Episcopal priest), Michael Berg (Co-Director of the Kabbalah Centre), Deepak Chopra (President of the Alliance for A New Humanity), Dennis Genpo Merzel (founder of an international Zen community), Kabir Helminski (Co-director of The Threshold Society) and Dr. Karen Binder-Brynes (NYC psychologist).

Here’s a snippet of Berg’s quote: “There is an important Kabbalistic concept that states that we are only receiving a small percentage of the joy and fulfillment all these things can give us. Whether it’s the joy we feel with our spouse or friends, or the happiness and love we feel towards our kids, right now, at this moment, our experience can be many times greater than what it is (even if it’s already good). This is because our joy and fulfillment is dependent and exactly correlated to our appreciation of these blessings… More energy, and therefore fulfillment, can be flowing to us – when we strengthen and grow our gratitude. Appreciation and giving thanks actually unlocks more Light and energy from relationships and even physical objects, so that in turn, we can receive more fulfillment from them.”

Star Trek star Chris Pine, young actor Jonathan Morgan Heit, and Beau Garrett (pictured below) get into the spirit of Thanksgiving and volunteer their time, serving a meal for the homeless at the Los Angeles Mission on Wednesday.

Last week, Pine, 27, addressed the one scene in the Star Trek trailer of him just in his underwear, climbing on top of a Rachel Nichols, who plays Orion.

“It was a lot of fun, but I think that day actually was a 20-hour-day,” Pine said. “So by the end, the novelty wears off. After many sandwiches and meals through the day, all you want to do is brush your teeth and go home.”

Pine also talked about the scene where Zoe Saldana takes her top off: “It’ll become famous. It’s trying to be sexed up for a new generation that really isn’t used to seeing Star Trek. It’s a whole new beast.”

Teri Hatcher waves to fans and poses for photographs outside the Ed Sullivan Theater for The Late Show with David Letterman in New York City on Wednesday.

The 43-year-old former Lois & Clark actress has been making the media rounds, promoting her current show, Desperate Housewives. Teri also made an appearance on the talkfest show, The View on Wednesday.

Katie Holmes returns back home with Tom Cruise back to their apartment after spending some time with the Beckhams on Wednesday.

Tom Cruise recently admitted to U.K.’s Hellomagazine, “I guess I did court [Katie] kind of aggressively.”

“There were things I did at the time that I look back and think, ‘Well, okay, I could have handled a couple of moments better,’ he said.”

“But I was surprised by some of the things that were said about me at the time,” Tom said. It affected us all, and as a father and a husband you want to protect your family.”

Twilight hottie Robert Pattinson is back on the cover of this week’s Entertainment Weekly.

He shared with the mag about his fluctulating body weight while shooting the vampire film: “I used to go to the gym for about five hours a day but then I started losing so such weight. My head started to look really huge in comparison to the rest of my body. [Director Catherine Hardwicke] came up to me and said, ‘What are you doing to yourself?’. [To gain weight,] I literally stopped exercising. Eating a cheeseburger after 2 1/2 months of doing that–it tasted like ambrosia.”
