**** ON THE NEWSSTAND **** Katie Holmes Jamie Foxx Katie’s secret fling! The new Us Weekly has all the details about Katie Holmes’ fleeting fling with friend Jamie Foxx . When Katie Holmes arrived alone at the August 24th benefit in New York’s Hamptons, she searched the crowd for a familiar face. An there he was: Jamie Foxx, a pal and former costar of her ex Tom Cruise. “They hooked up,” says a source. “It was two adults having fun, getting a little tipsy, and one thing led to another.” Though the two were discreet, when the news leaked, “Tom was not happy,” says an insider. “He doesn’t care if it was a hookup. To him it was betrayal.” Cruise’s potential fury could be why both Foxx and Holmes are so adamantly refuting the fling. And with so much history to the triangle, Foxx chose to do damage control. “This is a delicate situation for Jamie,” says a source close to Foxx, who has been tight with Cruise since 1996. When Holmes and Cruise got serious in 2005...

**** THE GLORIOUS CORNER By: G. H. Harding ****   George Clooney Matt Damon MONUMENTS STOPPED --- Big news last night in Hollywood as Sony Pictures announced that George Clooney’s much hyped World War II movie The Monuments Men – scheduled to open for the holidays on December 18- has been pushed back to an unspecified date in 2014. The official reason is that certain visual effects could not be completed in time; but, the underlying reason may well be, that as good as the film is supposed to be (Sony successfully sneaked it last weekend at several local-key theaters in L. A.) it just wasn't good enough for the holiday rush. If you recall, when the movie’s trailer first came out, several months back, I quipped that it looked great… but, I also said I had already seem Clooney in military garb in his The Good German movie. The cast is pretty exemplary too, Bill Murray, Matt Damon, Jean Dujardin, Cate Blanchett, and, the ever-wonderful John Goodman, b...
