Oprah, that powerhouse gal, sniffin' around some famous chick over the weekend, want to know who? Then forget about Justin Timberlake drinkin' and dancin' on his table at Prive in Sin City like he was Paris Hilton or something, and let's go straight to InWhySee where the real celebs came out to peep at...

Katie Holmes, in All My Sons. Yep, the Big O and Kate's 'rents made up KHC's entourage at Friday night's show. Ms. Winfrey arrived dressed in a black button-down with her large, curly hair extensions making room for her crew, which consisted of bod-guards—no Gayle or Stedman, how very unromantic. Looking totally do-able, for a change, right next to O, as well, was...

Tom Cruise, of whom you may have heard, donning a blazer. The two hons had a cute "let's hug it out, bitch" moment, right as they sat down. During intermission, Holmes' mom took T.C.'s seat next to Queen Oprah. Why do we feel like that would be a really boring and awkward convo? Regardless, Tommy-babe never returned for the second act. No biggie, he's already seen the show two thousand times, and it's only been running for a couple of seconds. After the show, the third...

Missus Cruise, exiting the stage door, where hoards of audience members were patiently waiting to adore the native Ohioan. The area was split for people who actually checked out the performance and those who were just eager for John Hancocks—Katie's, not Tom's. All the actors merrily signed 'graphs on both sides, but when Katie came out she only paid attention to those who had paid her attention, green-wise. Snooty Diva or Grateful Acknowledger? The jury's out, but we're gonna go with option one. When one fan in par-tick talked about how she, too, was from Ottawa Hills, K.H. barely glanced her way and hissed a smug little, "Oh, really," in her usual blasé tone. "She seemed to be fulfilling a business obligation," said the irked attendee. Come on, Kate, you've been in the game long enough to know you gotta keep the fans interested. It'll help deflect those mixed reviews you've been getting.
