Tribeca Film Fest Lures Katie Holmes to The Cooper Square Hotel

Where: 27 Cooper Sq [map], New York, NY, United States, 10003

With the Tribeca Film Festival in town through May 3, the hip hotels of New York City are absolutely gushing with celebs drinking in the lounges, dining in the on-site restaurants, or simply partying it up on the rooftop. One such property reaping the love of thirsty starlets and film fans is surprisingly our new old friend, the Cooper Square Hotel. After hosting party after party on the penthouse veranda, including last night's Independent Filmmaker Project's 30-year Celebration, the Coop' can count Katie Holmes as a fan.

Although she arrived without hubby Tom and daughter Suri, Katie climbed to the top of the big white behemoth hotel, which is totally not in Tribeca, and lent her support to the organization which produces programs to connect the independent filmmakers with people already in the biz. Now that the Cooper Square can claim some paparazzi pictures of Katie with their property, will it become a hotspot for next year's Tribeca Film Fest events? There's only so many parties that the Soho House can host, after all.

The Copacabana Palace Now Hosting the Cruises

Where: Avenida Atlântica 1702, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, CEP 22021

As usual, while the rest of the country is buzzing about the Super Bowl, drinking cheap-o beer and munching on processed snacks while Hollywood-ers throw each other lavish parties and spend the whole night in 'da club, Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and Suri are existing in their own little universe.

And that own little universe just happened to be, in this case, located in Rio. The fam packed up Suri (and whatever else they pack on trips; we cannot even imagine) and headed down to the Copacabana Palace Hotel, which is apparently the only place anyone ever goes in Rio. According to Gossip Girls, the clan jetted to Brazil together so Tom could attend a press conference and the premiere of his new movie Valkyrie.

For as lavish as this hotel is (rates start around $390), it seems to be pretty kid friendly — recall that this luxe hotspot is where we last spotted Jude Law, who was also chillin' there with his kiddies.

Also notable: Tom Cruise is wearing what, at first glance, appear to be jean shorts, but upon further inspection they seem to be denim-hued board shorts of some sort.

What Really Goes on at Cut When TomKat Visits?

Where: Wilshire Boulevard at Rodeo Drive [map], Beverly Hills, CA, United States, 90212

Guess who dined at Cut last night at the Four Seasons Beverly Wilshire? Yup. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. This time they brought along Oscar winner Forest Whitaker and his wife.

When TomKat is in Los Angeles, they probably eat at Cut once a week. We can't blame them as we've experienced Cut personally and it is pretty darn good.

We can only wonder what TomKat talks about with their dining partners. We'd like to think it's about making movies, raising children, and comparing private jets but we have a sneaking suspicion that the dreaded S word comes up too.

Is this how TomKat does it? Wows a couple with a fantastic meal by Wolfgang Puck and then surprises them with an E-meter reading?

Inside the Life of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes: Dining al Fresco in the Dolomites

Where: Strada Micura de Rü, 20, San Cassiano, Italy, I-39030

In this edition of Hotel Habits of the Rich and Famous...

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, quite the European couple these days, went back to the scene of their nuptials, Italy, this past weekend to belatedly celebrate their one-year anniversary which was Nov. 18th.

We're told that Tom, Katie and Baby Suri hit up the Rosa Alpina Hotel & Spa in the Dolomites in the Italian Alps for a quick lunch. Chef Norbert Niederkofler from the hotel's St. Hubertus restaurant served a special five-course lunch al fresco for the Cruises who were joined by the spa director and namesake, Daniela Steiner, before they did some snowmobiling.

Alas, the famous family did not spend the night. They had a helicopter chopper them back to Milan where they did what they do best, some shopping.
