Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Katie Holmes potpourri On its own, the dress Katie Holmes is wearing here is probably really, really cute. The problem is that it’s Katie wearing it.

Famewhores Is it the baking? I keep reading these little items, cleverly tucked into a magazine or a blog post here and there, about how comfortable Blake Lively is in the kitchen.
