Ostensibly on the show to plug his forthcoming movie, Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds, Tom Cruise tried to count the ways his professed passion for actress Katie Holmes had changed his life.

Villaraigosa is poised to become the first Latino mayor of Los Angeles since 1872. Made of equal parts passion and personal charm, he acted during the campaign as if he wanted to shake hands with every one of the city's 4 million citizens.
