Queen Elizabeth receives a little curtsy at New Zealand’s Giant Rugby Ball in London on November 25, 2008. image: Newscom

A giant rugby ball literally loomed over a visit by Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip near the River Thames today.

The inflatable, located at London’s Tower Bridge, was part of tourism promotions by the New Zealand High Commission and the organizers of the 2011 Rugby World Cup. Inside the ball, there were exhibits featuring scenes and artworks from the country. New Zealand’s national rugby team, The All Blacks, will play England at Twickenham on Sunday.

Prince Harry cheered hard for England at the rugby match against South Africa last Saturday. Unfortunately, all the energy he could muster wasn’t enough to keep England afloat. They lost 42 to 6.

Prince Harry’s girlfriend, Chelsy Davy, was beside him during the match. She probably couldn’t cheer too hard for South Africa. But one of the photos below show her looking satisfied enough, while Prince Harry covered his face with his hands.

Prince Harry and his long-time girlfriend Chelsy Davy looked so happy in these photos taken during their outing at Twickenham last week.

The pair were watching the rugby match between England and South Africa on November 21, 2008. England lost badly to South Africa, 42-6. Good thing Prince Harry had his laughs at the start of the match. Chelsy, on the other hand, might have had given him a ribbing for the loss.

The two are obviously very much in love, exchanging giggles and sweet little glances. All’s well in the Harry-Chelsy camp.

The Daily Mail has a few more photos.

Katie Holmes was all smiles as she headed back to work today, December 2nd. She looks like she is feeling much better than she was in this picture. She was seen again, on this same day, leaving her NYC apartment while chatting on her cell phone. She is wearing a different outfit though. I wonder if these pictures are actually from the same day? She dose seem to go home in between performances and change clothes quite often. Who knows?

Katie and the rest of the family were busy busy busy over the Thanksgiving holiday. They hung out with their good pals the Beckhams!

More pictures of Katie Holmes below.

Katie Holmes, Tom Cruise and Suri Cruise returned back to their New York apartment after an overnight trip. An overnight trip where? I am not sure!

Both Katie and Suri looked extremely tired. How nice to have cameras in your face after getting back from a trip. Ugh. I can’t imagine. Tom looked cheerful and full of energy as usual.

Suri had her stuffed giraffe with her and dropped it as they were getting out of the car. I wonder if Suri is the kind of kid who falls asleep in the car easily? She definitely looks ready for a nap in this picture!

Tom Cruise has snagged the number 9 spot on Babara Walter’s TV special ‘Barbara Walters Presents: The 10 Most Fascinating People of 2008′.

I am very excited that he made this list! I personally think he is fascinating, which is why I write about him. lol I am also excited about this because it means we get to see him on her special. I hope there is a decent interview with him. I am sure she will ask him about Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise.

Tom’s good friend Will Smith grabbed the number 10 spot. You can see who landed number one on her list when her special airs on December 4th at 10PM ET/PT on ABC.

Congrats Tom!

Tom Cruise recently revealed that he and Katie Holmes do want to add another child to their family. They are waiting until Katie is done with her Broadway stint and returns back to their family home in California.

Tom said, ‘We have already heard she’s pregnant but it’s not true. But yes, we will have more children. I’m saying this, but Kate’s not here! She’s working and we’re enjoying this time right now. It’s very precious, we don’t get this time back.

‘When Suri was born we shut everything down for months, just to be with Suri and the kids. But now I’m making movies and Kate is loving being on Broadway because it has been a dream of hers, so we are enjoying this time too.’

They are definitely one busy couple right now and there is no room for a pregnancy, that’s for sure! When they do decide the time is right, they are going to have three very excited children. Nicole Kidman says that Connor Cruise wants a little brother! Although, it will be interesting to see how Suri reacts to not being the center of attention anymore. I know my daughter had a very hard time when her little brother came around. When I was changing his diaper, she used to grab the diaper and try to hide it somewhere. Little stinker. :-)

It looks like Suri Cruise couldn’t decide which umbrella to use when her and momma Katie Holmes left their apartment on November 30th. Katie is seen carrying the lady bug umbrella we have all seen, as well as a pink ruffled one. Suri chose the Dora the Explorer one. The look on her face is too cute. It’s like she’s saying ‘Oh yeah, look at my awesome umbrella collection’.

Suri Cruise also has quite the collection of coats. In these pictures and the M&M store pictures, she is wearing an off-white fury coat. I have also seen her in a gray coat, a camel colored coat, no coat and a very fashionable white coat. She is definitely one of the best dressed toddlers around.

More pictures of Suri Cruise and her Dora umbrella below.

Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and Suri Cruise are still supplying us with some great pictures as they are out and about in New York City. They spent the Thanksgiving holiday with the Beckhams and the Beckhams went to a performance of ‘All My Sons’ to see Katie. We also have those adorable pictures of Suri Cruise with her baby doll. Just precious!

On Saturday, November 29th, the Cruises went shopping at the M&M store in NYC. Tom and Katie are almost sporting matching hair do’s. They have the feathered wavy look going. Suri decided to stick with her straight bobbed do. Good call on her part.

They all look great and Suri seemed to enjoy munching on M&M’s.

I love this picture of TomKat waving. Very cute family picture.
