Shia LaBeouf chills out on his day off in Los Angeles on Thursday.

The 22-year-old Transformers star took a ride around his neighborhood on his skateboard while simultaneously gulping down a can of diet green tea.

Sporting a Harley Davidson retro “Superior” t-shirt, Shia looked a little scruffy with his facial hair. He was still wearing a bandage around a few fingers and part of his left hand after having extensive surgery on it over the summer. This is all following his late-night car crash.

Suri Cruise flashes photographers a cute smile as mom Katie Holmes carries her securely through the door of their Manhattan apartment on Thursday night.

Like mom Katie, Suri was dressed for her busy day in all neutrals like a true New Yorker–charcoal velvet dress, black leggings and a pair of grey Mary Janes.

However, the 2-year-old fashionista-in-the-making added some extra color to her ensemble painting her nails with glittery light blue polish.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes look positively flawless on split covers of T: The New York Times Style Magazine’s “Holiday/Reinvention” issue. Here are great interview highlights via Us Weekly:

Tom on when Katie confessed to him that she dreamed of marrying him as a little girl: “I said I wouldn’t want to disappoint her. I knew I wanted to marry Kate when I met her.”

Tom on buying Katie an engagement ring shortly after their first date in 2005: “At one point, I thought she was going to ask me to marry her first and I put her off by changing the subject. I wanted to ask her.”

Katie on being overwhelmed by Tom: “When I met Tom I was completely in love and, yes, I admired him growing up – he’s Tom Cruise! [After our first meeting, I was] completely in love. He was so warm, and I thought, ‘Wow, you can be a superstar and a human being.’ He made me feel so amazing.”

Katie on life since her romance with Tom began: “My life has expanded. My family and friends are all a part of this bigger life.”

Katie on people still having the wrong idea about her: “There’s a misperception about me that I just became this wallflower, this woman who doesn’t have any control of her life. And that’s pretty wrong. From the very beginning, I’ve made choices in my life that have been very strong. ”

THIS IS BANANAS

Isla admits she owes her slender figure to good genes: “I have never been a big fan of working out and I’ve never been a sporty person - I was always more of a book worm. I know it sounds like a cliché, but I’ve been blessed with good genes. My mom is little, and I’m fortunate that I don’t like eating junk food. I just don’t like the taste of it.”

THE FRANCO FILE

On working with Sean Penn: “After we wrapped up Milk, Sean Penn said to me, ‘I’m going to have to break up with you now.”

On his fave NYC hang-outs: “Bungalow 8, Smith and Mills and Chanterelle.”

On his outlook on gay relationships: “As soon as I got out of high school, I was like, I don’t care if anybody’s gay. It doesn’t matter. Doing Milk, I don’t know if it broadened my mind at all. I like to think that I was as open as I could be at that point.”

Beyonce sings “Ave Maria” (her own version of the song off her album I Am…Sasha Fierce) at the 2008 Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony in Rockefeller Center. Sample lyrics and video below!

She was lost in so many different ways
Out in the darkness with no guide
I know the cost of a losing hand
Never thought the grace of god go high

I found heaven on earth
You were my last, my first

Ave maria
