Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have recently taken higher security measures to protect themselves and daughter, Suri, after receiving death threats that are believed to be from groups opposed to their Scientology faith.

It has been rumored that Vince Vaughn may soon be walking down the aisle with 29-year-old commercial real estate agent, Kyla Weber, from Canada.
The 38-year-old actor has bought a $125,000, 4-carat engagement ring, and plans to pop the question on New Year’s, according to a friend of Vaughns. “Vince is ready to get married and has been for a while,” said the friend. “He wants to start a family.”
The “Wedding Crashers” star has already convinced Kyla to relocating to California. “Kyla can work anywhere, so that’s no problem. She’s more worried about making friends, but Vince has a ton of them. Fortunately, she likes them, so leaving home for Vince has been a good move,” says a source.
The couple who met in May through a movie producer friend of Vince’s were first spotted together in August, holding hands and dining with friends before attending a Dolly Parton concert.

“She’s doing amazing, she’s so in love,” Marquardt, 35, said of Wilkinson, 23, who recently became engaged to NFL player Hank Baskett. “She’s changed so much. She’s not even the same person. I mean, she is the same, but she’s different. I love the old Kendra and I love the new Kendra.”
Marquardt says of her former Girls Next Door cast mate, “She’s a lot more timely. She doesn’t flash anymore. She’s a lot more conservative. She’s so in love.”
While both her former costars seem to have found love- Holly Madison is dating Criss Angel- Marquardt remains tight-lipped about discussing her own love life. “I’m just really happy for Holly. She’s happy and in love,” she says. “And Kendra has found love with a great guy. Hank is the perfect gentleman.”
Holly and Bridget will both be bridesmaids in Kendra and Hank’s wedding.
