Tom Cruise took a little bit of time out of his busy schedule to hit up the Staples Center for some Stanley Cup Playoff action!

But it wasn't the Los Angeles Kings' impressive 3-0 victory over the San Jose Sharks that caught his eye. It was Pia Toscano!

The former American Idol was on hand to sing The Star-Spangled Banner, and apparently the actor was SOO blown away he just had to give her some props himself!

Break out the vino people, because Kobe Bryant is here to stay!

After tearing his achilles tendon in a nasty season-ending injury against the Golden State Warriors, people began to wonder whether or not the 34 year-old baller still had any gas left in the tank.

Well the Los Angeles Laker legend heard the retirement rumors and took to Twitter to weigh in on the issue:

WOW! Talk about an unexpected, yet totally welcome, awesome and hardcore SURPRISE!

Gwen Stefani recently took time away from being a mom to remind the world how hard she can effing RAWK when she and her No Doubt bandmates reunited for their comeback album, Push and Shove, and beyond!

And last night, she upped her cred even further by joining The Rolling Stones on stage to perform their classic anthem Wild Horses, during the kick-off performance of their 50 and Counting tour at the El Lay Staples Center!

We have to hand to her - she holds her own and manages to keep up with Mick Jagger!

A pretty impressive feat in itself, we'd say!

Ch-ch-check it out for yourself (above)!

Even though the El Lay Lakers got DESTROYED by the San Antonio Spurs last night, celebs still attended the game to show their support!!

Unfortunately for the Lakers, their season was ended by the Spurs as they were swept in the first-round Western Conference playoffs at the Staples Center, and even though the purple and gold team lost, at least their last game was filled with stars.

Everyone from Lil Wayne, Jack Nicholson, Michael Peter, Dyan Cannon, Paul Wesley, Anthony Kiedis, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ryan Seacrest, Alex Trebek and Andy Garcia showed up

Of all the Clippers games that Khloe Kardashian attends, this is the first time we've seen her angry!

The reality starlet hit up Game 2 of the El Lay Clippers vs. Memphis Grizzlies first-round Western Conference playoffs at the Staples Center, and considering that the playoffs get really intense, we can see why Miz Kardashian and her friends were getting into it with some fans.

As Khloe watched her hubby Lamar Odom hoop it up, a mean ol' man in a blue shirt got up to talk some shizzz, and even though we have no idea what he said, from the looks on all the ladies faces, we're assuming he was causing all sorts of DISRESPECT!

Since Odom's wifey is fresh off of leaving X Factor, which we're now learning that was all her mama Kris Jenner's fault, we're thinking that Khloe was NOT in the mood to take any crap, so she made sure to stand up for herself.

The Clippers ended up defeating the Grizzlies 93-91 to lead the best-of-seven series 2-0, and Kardashian also went home with a WIN for not letting anyone talk down to her.

U go guuurl!!

Khloe Kardashian sure knows how to cheer on her man!

Since we're officially in the NBA playoffs, the reality starlet not only attended the El Lay Clippers game on Saturday to watch her hubby Lamar Odom do his thing, but she also made sure her lips were on point.

As she sat in her favorite seat with her BFF Malika Haqq, she sipped on a nice fresh beverage while she stayed looking FIERCE.

We're loving everything about Khloe's b-ball look. From her leopard print bag to her Christian Louboutin pumps… girlfriend was on fiyah!

Plus, since now she's out of the X Factor, she has more time to attend all of the Clippers games she wants.

Which is why Lamar's team defeated the Grizzlies 112-91 to lead the series 1-0!!!

Woohoo!

Kobe Bryant may be hurt, but that ain't stopping Charlize Theron from cheering on her Lakers!!

The Prometheus actress was seen at the Staples Center last night with a big smile on her face as she watched the Lakers take on the San Antonio Spurs, and while many folks were sad 'cuz Bryant will not be able to hoop for the next 6-9 months, Charlize didn't let that get her down.

Since the Spurs made it into the playoffs with the second best record in the western conference, it was thought that they would automatically beat LA, and even with Tim Duncan's 23 points, they still failed to win their first playoff game.

We're thinking that Theron's cheering had a lot to do with the Lakers' win. After all, what team wouldn't want to play their hardest when a hottie like Charlize has their back???

Ch-ch-check out the model (below)!
