On Wednesday, Katie Holmes was photographed bottle-feeding daughter Suri on the New York set of her new movie, The Romantics.

Should the girl, 3, still be hitting the bottle?

No, experts say.

“She should have been weaned off the bottle by the time she was one year old,” Dr. Jennifer Shu, a pediatrician and co-author of Food Fights, tells Usmagazine.com. “By the time kids are nine months old, they have the physical development and mouth coordination necessary to be able to drink out of a sippy cup or a cup with straw. That development comes pretty early.”

So what gives?

Shu says she doesn’t “know why” Tom Cruise and Katie still allow the girl to use a bottle. “You don’t force kids to crawl when they can walk,” Shu tells Us.

But Dr. Harvey Karp — a pediatrician, child development specialist and creator of the DVD and book, The Happiest Toddler on the Block — doesn’t think it’s such a big deal.

“Sucking is normal for kids when they are tired or bored — as long as kids aren’t keeping the bottle in their mouths for hours” he tells Us, adding that it may serve as an emotional security device. “Thumb-sucking is more damaging.”

But Shu tells Us that if Suri is using the bottle out of comfort, her parents should “transition her to a different security object that doesn’t cause cavities,” such as a blanket or a Teddy bear.

Or, perhaps, some high-heel shoes?

Actor Alec Baldwin is vain when it comes to body image. And he doesn’t care who knows it.

“I have a great ass, if I may say so,” the It’s Complicated actor, 51, tells Entertainment Weekly in its annual holiday movie preview issue, out Friday. “That’s a part of my body that needs no surgical enhancement or rearranging.”

Still, Baldwin, who turned to an “ass double” when he had to to show off his derriere in the new comedy, out Christmas Day, says he wouldn’t rule out getting cosmetic enhancements.

“I’m not saying I wouldn’t do something! I intend to do something,” he says. “I probably will. Let’s put it this way: I wouldn’t rule it out because… You don’t think I wake up every day and wish I looked like this and this and this? But I can’t let that bother me.”

His It’s Complicated costar, Meryl Streep, isn’t as convinced about getting work done.

“Well, if you’ve ever even contemplated that stuff and looked at what can go wrong in any of those magazines, it’s terrifying!” the actress, whose character freaks out in a plastic surgeon’s office after a consultation, tells EW.

Plus, she says that as a celebrity, “every part of your life is chronicled,’ so “if something mysteriously looks better,” everyone will notice.

Baldwin — who split from Kim Basinger, his wife of eight years, in 2001 — also opens up to the magazine about if he’ll ever wed again.

“I don’t mean to be glib, but the title really is perfect,” Baldwin says of the flick where he and Streep play ex-spouses who rekindle their romance at their son’s college graduation. “It is complicated. I had a pretty tough divorce myself, so sometimes I sit there and I go, ‘Well, should I have worked it out? Maybe I should have tried harder.’”

Baldwin says the film’s lessons are also what he tries to impart to their daughter, Ireland, 14.

“It’s also what you teach your children about their love lives,” he says. “That’s a big thing for me, to teach my daughter: No risk, no reward. I want her to realize that it’s a roll of the dice. Not everybody gets so lucky, where they have a family and a marriage forever and ever.”

True Blood’s Alexander Skarsgård, currently ranked #2 (just below Robert Pattinson) in OK!’s Hollywood’s Sexiest Vampire Poll, spoke to JustJared about his new film Straw Dogs, working with Kate Bosworth and his take on the vampire craze.

Straw Dogs, a remake of Sam Peckinpah’s 1971 taut psychological thriller, has Alexander playing a new kind of character — a has-been football star instead of the sexiest vampire around.

“I play a guy named Charlie who’s a guy from Mississippi who was a big star when he was younger — the quarterback of the football team. He was dating Kate Bosworth’s character, who was the cheerleader — the hottest girl in school — and everything was perfect,” Alexander explained. “He had the best life and people were, like, “You’re going to play in the NFL someday!” And then he got injured and nothing really happened for him.”

But the story doesn’t end there!

“The movie starts later [in Charlie's life] and he’s in his late twenties — he’s gotten bitter in a way. And [Kate's character] comes back with her new boyfriend (James Marsden), who’s a Hollywood screenwriter,” he added. “The movie’s about the dynamic between the three of them when they come back, how Charlie reacts to that. He wants her back…”

While fighting for Kate’s love onscreen, Alexander got to enjoy her friendship offscreen.

“I love Kate,” Alexander added. “She’s amazing — she’s going to be amazing in this movie. It’s a really tough part, but she did a great job — she’s a very good friend of mine.”

Jesse James has a message for his ex: Leave my wife Sandra Bullock out of the custody dispute.

The Monster Garage star’s former wife, porn star Janine Lindemulder, suggested on Good Morning America this week that Bullock was trying to “take away my daughter” and called on the superstar actress to talk with her directly.

James’s attorney Marilyn Slifman calls Lindemulder’s remarks “inaccurate and unfortunate.”

“Sandra Bullock is not a party to this litigation,” Slifman says in a statement to People. “Mr. James’s sole concern is for the safety, welfare and best interests of his daughter. The proper forum to resolve this case is in the courtroom.”

Bullock has been helping James raise 5-year-old Sunny since January, when Lindemulder, who has appeared in more than 100 adult movies, was imprisoned for tax evasion. Bullock and James wrote letters to the court questioning her fitness as a parent and raising concerns about the safety of Sunny because of Lindemulder’s alleged drug problem. Lindemulder has since been released from prison and is tangling with James over visitation.

Would you ever videotape yourself having sex again?
KARDASHIAN: Never, never, never again—obviously, because of what happened. I had to explain it to my little sisters, who’d be watching TV, and they’d see on E! or Extra, or something, my picture, and they’d be like, “Kimmy’s on TV!” And right next to it would be “Sex Tape.” And they’re like, “What’s that?” Just to have to sit down and explain it to them. My step-dad wouldn’t talk to me for three weeks. The stress that I know it put on my mom and my step-dad—just the whole family. If my dad were here to witness all of that, I don’t even know what I’d do. It’s just not worth it, basically.

How old were you when you lost your virginity and what were the circumstances?
KARDASHIAN: I was young. I had a boyfriend for four years…my first boyfriend. I was with him when I was 14; I’d say around late 14 or early 15, I don’t remember. We were sooo in love; I thought we were going to get married. I told my mom—I brought her in my bathroom and I’m like, Mom, I think I’m gonna have sex. I think I should go to the doctor and get put on birth control. And my mom was like, . What else was she gonna say?

You get a lot of attention for your backside. What’s your favorite part of your body?
KARDASHIAN: My toes; I like my feet. But I’d say my butt. I like [the attention]; I think it’s funny. It bothered me when people would come up with rumors, like, “Oh, my god, she has butt implants, it can’t be real.” Who gets butt implants? Come on. Do you know anybody who has butt implants? (more…)

Here are some excerpts from the interview!

On rumors of friction with Sex and the City co-star Kim Cattrall: “I don’t think anybody wants to believe that I love Kim. I adore her. I wouldn’t have done the movie without her. Didn’t and wouldn’t.”

On her decision to use a surrogate to carry her twins: “I knew there would be lots of opinions about, ‘Well, why didn’t you adopt? Why didn’t you do this? Why didn’t you do that?’ and the truth of the matter is, it wasn’t one or the other for us. We had explored, and continue to explore all options, and this one just happened first. This isn’t the period at the end of the sentence.”

On being a hands-on mom: “I love the smell of diapers; I even like when they’re wet and you smell them all warm liked a baked good. I love the smell of Balmex. Love it.”
