Tom Cruise has had one of the best acting careers in movie history. His career has spanned over three decades, and Cruise has shown that he is still a top actor today. His latest flick, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol is currently the top movie at the box office.
Throughout his great career, Cruise has worked with the best film directors and storytellers that the big screen has ever seen. Directors such as Steven Spielberg, Stanley Kubrick, Martin Scorsese, and Francis Ford Coppola are among the greats he has collaborated with. Cruise told us that he has rejoiced working with these icons, and went on to tell us that he has learned from them and continues to soak in the fine art of acting and still loves to make films.

We continue celebrating the holidays with the stars and that includes Adele who’s been recently nominated for 6 Grammy awards. 2011 began as a stellar year for her since releasing her second album, “21,” in February, and her singles “Rolling In the Deep” and “Someone Like You” have been impossible to forget. She’s left us forever starstruck. With all her fame, Adele has got to be one of the most humble women out there. We recently learned that she was to embarrassed to try out for “The X Factor” when she was encouraged to do so by her parents. They believed she was the next Mariah Carey and did they have a point. So, with Christmas upon us, we wanted to know why Christmas was her favorite holiday especially growing up back home in London. (Click on the audio player to hear Adele)
