According to New York Magazine’s Vulture, “Top Gun 2″ is in the works and Tom Cruise has agreed to appear in the sequel.

Vulture reports that Paramount Pictures has pursued “Top Gun” producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Tony Scott to film a follow up to their hit 1986 flick about Naval aviators.

Oscar-winning screenwriter (and Cruise pal) Christopher McQuarrie has been tapped to pen the script, which would feature Cruise’s Lieutenant Pete “Maverick” Mitchell in a small and not-too-obvious role. In other words, Vulture reports, don’t expect to see Maverick as a “grizzled Top Gun flight instructor.”

The high-flying original film – which also starred Val Kilmer, Kelly McGillis, Anthony Edwards and Meg Ryan – grossed $353 million and helped Cruise soar onto Hollywood’s A-List. As of yet, no actors are currently attached to the sequel.

Not gonna lie. Those kids sorta freak me out.

Several outlets are reporting that Alicia Keys and husband Swizz Beatz have welcomed a baby boy! Rumor has it they’ve named him Egypt Dean.

Congrats!

According to toofab.com, Kim Kardashian’s friends have all pitched in, and they’re taking her on an all-expense paid shopping trip!

Sources tell us buds like Kelly Rowland, La La Vazquez, Brittny Gastineau and Ciara are all chipping in on the budget — which we’re told is “huge!”

We don’t know where they’ll be going, but it’ll be Kim’s choice — and we doubt she’ll have any problem finding new clothes for her already giant wardrobe.

As TooFab previously reported, Kim will get her party on at TAO Las Vegas tonight for her big bash.

If you are Kim Kardashian, you can buy whatever you want anyway. This seems like a very unthoughtful gift to me. Kim has enough money to buy whatever her little heart desires as it is!
