Celebrity Social Media Round-Up for December 2, 2016

This PR push for Katie Holmes’s new film feels as never-ending as the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show. Which would be fine if she weren’t such a snooze.

“I’m the youngest of 5, I have 3 older sisters, obviously I’m a mom, and I feel comfortable with telling female relationship stories because I’ve been surrounded by so many women my whole life,” Katie Holmes told @nytimes. So for the 37-year-old actress’s directorial debut, she naturally chose a female protagonist — this one drowning in life’s complications and fighting desperately to keep her daughter from going down with her. “You just go for it,” @katieholmes212 said. “You do fumble and make mistakes. But I came out of it inspired to do it again.” @allwehadmovie, which is set during the 2008 financial crisis, opens December 9. @emilyberl took this portrait of @katieholmes212 at @cbstvstudios in Studio City, California. Visit the link in our profile to read more about how #KatieHolmes is moving behind the camera and keeping her daughter, #SuriCruise, out of the Hollywood glare.

I imagine that Faith Hill and Tim McGraw’s night at home looks like a fragrance ad.

I feel like this will make up for Lainey missing Hamilton.

This is totally a one-in-a-million scenario, but what happens if you are a celebrity/rich person and invite your wife’s friends to surprise her in Hong Kong for a vacation in Thailand? It’s a big commitment for the friends -- it’s not a few hundred bucks on a nice dinner, it’s thousands of dollars plus time off work, coordinating schedules etc. So does Aaron pick up the tab? I say yes. Though I think the accommodations were discounted (or outright comped) in exchange for some conveniently timed publicity.

Nothing beats having the greatest friends on the planet surprising your wife on her birthday in Hong Kong to head off to Thailand together for her birthday. I love you so much my pretty little bird. So happy you were born. Also, Thailand, I love you so much already.

Elisha Cuthbert’s very Canadian birthday cake. Remember when she dated JT’s friend/assistant Trace Ayala and when they split everyone thought What Goes Around was about her? I think the moral of the story is Justin can only write good songs about interesting women. Otherwise the songs are terrible and annoying.

An "Abby's Truck" cake with a Canadian flag of course! Thanks to all my friends on the set of @theranchnetflix for making a Birthday girl feel special 😘 photo credit @dannymasterson

A talk show host visits another talk show host to promote a talk show. Trevor Noah is pretty adorable, even when he’s making a low-key “help me” face.
