Angelina Jolie smiles at fans after picking up books and CDs at Borders Book and Music store bookstore with son Maddox, 6, on Sunday near her downtown Chicago hotel.

Motorcyclist-to-be Maddox (with a new mini-mohawk and losing all of his baby teeth) was seen with a dinosaur tattoos on his arm and wore a t-shirt by Indian Larry, a noted bike builder, stuntman, and innovator in the world of custom motorcycles.

The entire Jolie-Pitt family went to the Field Museum in Chicago, IL.

The family had an SUV waiting for them as they exited the museum. As they were leaving, Brad was carrying Zahara and holding Pax’s hand while Angelina carried Shiloh with Maddox pushing the stroller.

Suri Cruise is to become a star in her own right after she was signed as the new face of Baby Gap, according to reports.

Proud parents Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were reportedly offered a lucrative modeling contract by the clothes chain for their 16-month-old daughter to front an upcoming campaign.

Suri's first photoshoot was in October 2006 when she made the front cover of Vanity Fair with her parents. The pictures were shot by celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz.

If you haven't had enough of Lindsay Lohan, well try reading this very long article of nonsense brought to you by Elle Magazine. Lindsay is wearing a satin dress from Donna Karan Collection with jewelries from De Beers, Neil Lane and H.Stern. I'm so sick of Lindsay but then again I can't help but post stories of her (it's my job), she's just so overrated.

The super-thin Spice Girl - who will star as herself in the special episode of the hit comedy about a glossy fashion magazine - will shock audiences by turning up to the on screen wedding in a fat suit, pretending to have gorged on calorific treats since her move to America.

An insider at the ABC network said: "Everybody at the wedding will be expecting skinny beautiful Posh to show up.

"But they'll be horrified to see she's piled on the pounds because of major comfort eating and American junk food."

The 33-year-old singer - who recently moved to Los Angeles with husband David Beckham and their three sons after he signed a multi-million dollar contract with the Los Angeles Galaxy soccer team - admitted she was not invited to appear on the show for her acting prowess.

She said: "I'll be playing myself. And I'll get to wear a fabulous outfit, so I won't be acting."

The mother-of-three is desperate to be a Stateside success and is hoping her appearance on the show will help raise her profile.

Angelina Jolie and her long-term partner Brad Pitt - whose relationship is rumored to be going through a rocky patch - are reportedly planning to travel to the African country to find a fourth disadvantaged child they can give a home to.

The couple - who are already adoptive parents to six-year-old Cambodian boy Maddox, Vietnamese son Pax Thien, three, and two-year-old Zahara, who was born in Ethiopia - believe another baby will strengthen their relationship and help Zahara feel more secure within the family.

A source close to the couple - who also have a 14-month-old biological daughter, Shiloh - told Britain's Daily Mail newspaper: "Brad and Angelina have made no secret of the fact they are keen to extend their rainbow family.

"Angelina, in particular, feels very strongly that while Shiloh will grow up seeing the family resemblances between herself and her natural parents, and Maddox and Pax will have a connection through their birthplaces, Zahara has no such close-knit bond. Brad and Angelina hope that by finding a brother or sister for her, it will help Zahara feel more comfortable and happy in her own skin, and also bring them closer together."

The couple are said to be planning to visit Ethiopia's Wide Horizons agency, the same place that introduced them to Zahara, in November.

My relatives just came down from Canada & San Francisco and It seems like I'll be going on a 5 day vacation with them. I'll be in Palm Springs for three days and two days in Las Vegas. I promise to update when I can, don't forget to check back once & a while.

Best Wishes,
Iris

Lindsay Lohan's father Michael is too scared to watch his daughter's new movie - after storming out of a screening of her last film Georgia Rule when she appeared in a sex scene.

Estranged dad Michael can't bear to watch the 21-year-old in love scenes and fears I Know Who Killed Me will leave him fleeing the movie theatre in tears.

He tells In Touch magazine, "I go to every one of her movies. I had to leave Georgia Rule - during a couple of scenes I ran out of the theater.

"I don't want to see her in a sexual context; even if she's acting, she's my daughter first. And I Know Who Loved Me (sic) - I don't even know if I'll go to see that. If someone goes, and warns me ahead of time, 'Michael, get out of the theater - something's coming up,' then I will."

Catherine Zeta-Jones is disappointed she finds it impossible to master the art of boiling an egg.

The Welsh actress plays a chef in new restaurant-based romantic comedy No Reservations, but insists she's not much use in the kitchen in real life.

She says, "You know, I still can't boil an egg. I never get it runny enough if I want it runny, and I never get it hard-boiled enough before it explodes.

"But I can make you (Italian dessert) tiramisu anytime you want. Cheese on toast is always good too."
