POW! BAM! WHACK!

Like clockwork, Katie Holmes leaves her apartment and arrives at Schoenfeld Theatre for the evening performance of her play, All My Sons, in New York City on Tuesday.

After weeks of intense rehearsals and a strenuous schedule, Katie appears a bit tired and weary.

Hubby Tom Cruise recently spoke with Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper about his infamous couch-jumping session on Oprah and said, “There are things that I could have done better. I could have handled things better. I was surprised by the criticism but it brought everyone close together. Katie’s entire family and my family. Going through that stuff is not pleasant, and I think it hit an extreme, but Kate’s a very sure and confident and strong woman. She gets it, you know.”

WHAT DID YOU THINK of how Tom dealt with criticism during his early years with Katie?

Katie Holmes works out a pair of bell-bottom jeans as she leaves her New York City apartment for her Broadway performance of All My Sons on Saturday and Sunday.

Interesting enough, the 29-year-old actress sees her husband Tom Cruise’s ex-wife Nicole Kidman on the back of the Playbill for her musical everyday! Nic is on the Chanel ad which is splashed across the guide.

Katie Holmes leaves her New York City apartment on Friday afternoon and spends some quality time with 2-year-old daughter Suri at a local playground.

The mother-daughter duo shared a sweet kiss on the lips during their playground play date. Suri played with her stuffed giraffe and drew all over the playground with her sidewalk chalk.

Always the one to effervesce, Suri hardly has to do anything to shine!

Katie Holmes attends to her flying hair while leaving her home for a performance of Arthur Miller’s play, All My Sons on Sunday.

The 29-year-old actress has been fully supported by her friends and family during her Broadway debut. Victoria Beckham recently said, “We can’t wait to come support Katie. Her husband Tom Cruise says she’s amazing, the reviews have been amazing! We’re so proud of her!” Opening night is days away!

Angelina Jolie opens up to the German edition of Vanity Fair about everything from politics to her newborn twins. Here are some choice quotes via Us Weekly:

On why she could be voting for Barack Obama: “Obama is fighting for international justice, he wants to intervene militarily in genocides abroad, and he wants to close down Guantanamo Bay. They are things which could move me to vote for him, not his roots. Of course, an American president like Barack Obama would be great for my family.” (On Monday, Brad carried a notebook with a Obama sticker on it.)

On why she’s proud of the USA: “I am very proud of being American, and all my children have got American passports. For me, our family is just what America is - a melting pot, a mixture of many different races and nations. My children should be proud of their Asian and African roots, but that in no way means [is] a lack of respect for the fact that they and their parents are Americans.”

On her twins Knox and Vivienne (3-months-old on Sunday): “It’s a damned arduous business, and we are often simply whacked out because it is twice as hard with two babies as with one. But it also makes for double the fun. After we flew back from Europe, we were all suffering a bit from jetlag. We were all in bed early, but at half past four, they were awake and making a real racket… Brad took care of them. He said to me, ‘Go back to sleep, you’re back to work in the morning,’ and moved into the kids’ room with them. He is an astounding father, full of devotion… [Knox and Vivienne] have quite similar, stable rhythms. Every three hours they get hungry, then I have to satisfy them. But that’s OK, the two of them are totally sweet. When you see them, you think they were made for each other. They laugh together, they sniff each other, touch each other. It is beautiful.”

On struggling to find alone time with Brad: “Sometimes, at the end of the day, we try to retire to the bathroom to be undisturbed,” she says. “But then [the kids] hear the water running and want to come in and, yet again, we are all together. But that doesn’t disturb us because they are great kids.”

On how fame has changed motherhood for her: “I would like to have more freedom, especially to have the chance to be more spontaneous with my kids. Would I like to be able to walk through the streets with my kids? Of course. Would I like to be able to wander around Manhattan and buy them an ice cream like other mothers? Of course. But it is not possible. On the other hand, every morning I wake up with the people who are the most dear to me in the whole world. That’s why I don’t feel isolated from that, which is important to me. It helps, of course, that Brad knows all about it, but he’s experienced it even more than me. We often talk about it and try to make the best of things. But I am very grateful for our life and everything that we have.”

Katie Holmes and 2-year-old daughter Suri walk down New York City’s Madison Avenue on Thursday afternoon with their matching orange Hermes shopping bags. A big orange bag for Katie and a mini version for Suri!

In September 2007, Angelina Jolie and daughter Zahara, then also 2-years-old, toted around matching white Valentino braided leather shoulder bags.

Both adorable mother-daughter duos!!!

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt take their twins Vivienne and Knox along with the rest of their family as they arrive back home at the Nice airport in the south of France on Wednesday.

Just on Tuesday afternoon, Brad and Angie were seen in New Orleans snuggling up together. Looks like there’s still romance after six kids!

Katie Holmes takes the kids– Suri, 2, Conner, 13, and Isabella, 15 — to Alice’s Tea Cup in New York City for brunch on Sunday morning. ATC has always been one of Katie’s favorite eateries in the Big Apple!

Noticeably missing was Tom Cruise himself!
