And in her interview, Ri-Ri brags about her recipe for Macaroni and Cheese, noting that she came up with it all by herself.

“This was discovered by accident due to our gas running out halfway through making the original dish, but I fell in love with the taste and texture, so I’ve been making it to perfection ever since.”

Katie Holmes: I Don’t Want TomKat to Define Me

She’s bounced back to success after her extremely public divorce from actor Tom Cruise two years ago, and Katie Holmes is letting everyone know that she wants the world to move on as well.

During a sit down with People magazine, the “Batman Begins” beauty explained that she wants the world to see her as Katie, not Tom’s ex-wife.

“I don’t want that moment in my life to define me, to be who I am,” the 35-year-old beauty explained. “I don’t want that to be what I’m known as. I was an actor before, an actor during and an actor now.”

Katie got her start on “Dawson’s Creek” in the late nineties and went on to star in films like “Wonder Boys,” “Batman Begins” and “The Gift.”

As for today, she has lots of big projects on her plate, including “The Giver” in which she stars alongside Meryl Streep and Jeff Bridges.

“I don’t have any fear now, I don’t have a lot of rules for myself, and I don’t take myself that seriously,” Katie told the mag. “I feel ready for new challenges.”

As for her love life, Holmes said she isn’t dating anyone at the moment and is focusing all her time on 8-year-old daughter Suri. “My patience has grown, but between 4 and 6 p.m….I mean, wow. Between tickle fights and glitter art, I try to throw in some manners along the way.”

"moving Day" National Parkinson Foundation Raised Over $500,000

 An estimated one million people in the U.S. are a living with PD, with 60,000 new cases diagnosed each year. PD is a chronic and progressive movement disorder, meaning that symptoms continue and worsen over time. The cause is unknown, and although there is presently no cure, there are treatment options such as medication and surgery to manage its symptoms.

Exercise along with physical therapy help improve mobility, balance and daily activities for those with PD:  

• In fact, researchers now believe that exercise may actually help slow the progression of the disease.
• Exercise also alleviates symptoms associated with PD such as tremor, issues with balance and gait, flexibility and motor coordination

We want to thank the the 1,500+ participants and amazing supporters of Moving Day® Miami who have helped raise over $500,000 to beat Pd with us at Bayfront Park. The money you helped to raise will have a profound impact on the lives of people with Parkinson's, and we are excited to continue in our efforts for improving the lives of everyone in our community. Thank you for showing us how “People Who Move Change The World®” 

Moving Day® Miami raised $567,995 (100% of the goal, which was $500,000)
