Hold onto those sofa cushions: Tom Cruise is coming back to The Oprah Winfrey Show.

“Tom will be doing the Oprah show,” Cruise’s rep Julie Polkes tells PEOPLE. “He is really looking forward to it.”

The show, which will appear in two parts during May sweeps, will celebrate Cruise’s career since his breakout role 25 years ago in Risky Business.

One part will be shot in-studio before a live audience. In the other, Cruise will show Winfrey around his Telluride mountain retreat and do a portion of the interview at the home.

In May 2005, Cruise memorably jumped up and down on Winfrey’s sofa and proclaimed, “I’m in love!” with his then-girlfriend Katie Holmes, whom he later married.

Cruise’s return to The Oprah Winfrey Show was first reported by MSNBC.com. — Elizabeth Leonard and Mike Fleeman

Jessica Alba is planning to take a break from acting after having her baby.

The ‘Fantastic Four’ actress – who is expecting her first child with fiance Cash Warren in June – will be in no rush to get back to work following the birth.

She said: "I’m just going to sit back and figure out what this whole experience of being a mother is all about, and taking that in."

Jessica also revealed when she eventually returns to the movie industry, she would like to work with movie producer Cash.

She added: "I wouldn’t mind doing something with Cash. He’s incredibly smart and very business-savvy. I think him being part of anything means it’s going to be progressive and successful."

Meanwhile, Jessica has revealed her latest movie ‘The Eye’ was the "toughest" project she has ever done.

She said: "For several reasons, this is up there with the toughest movies I’ve done. We shot a lot in a very short space of time and I’m in pretty much every single scene from beginning to end."

LOS ANGELES, Calif.—

Cameron Diaz plans to take a break after filming the 2009-due legal drama “My Sister’s Keeper,” according to a new interview.

“I envision a full year off, just living life and having fun. It’s the best thing,” Diaz said in an interview with W magazine’s May issue.

In the interview, conducted before her father’s death last week, the actress revealed she has currently been going through a number of changes.

When asked about her romantic life, she avoided the question, instead focusing on what she has in store for the immediate future.

“I’m in love with love. I’m in love with life,” she told W. “This year I just sort of decided, you know, there’s a lot of things that I’ve been wanting to do and I’m going to do them.”

Among the goals Cameron has in store? Helping out a charity, although she declined to reveal which one.

“I’m not ready to talk about that yet because they’re not totally up and running and I don’t want to mess them up by talking about them too soon,” she said.

The star of “What Happens In Vegas” said she is also using her free time to embark on a voyage of self-discovery.

“[I’m] just kind of taking more time getting to know myself. It sounds so corny that I can’t believe I even just said that, but, you know, there comes a time when you really have to get to know who you are,” she said. “I’ve just been figuring out what interests me and spending time with people who are important to me and being present in my own life.”

Leonardo DiCaprio is hot and heavy again with Israeli model Bar Refaeli, but he still carries a torch for ex-girlfriend Gisele Bündchen. According to a source, the 33-year-old calls Gisele, 27, after he’s had a few too many drinks. "It’s like he just needs to hear her voice," says the source. "I think he never thought she’d walk away." But his late-night phone calls won’t work. The Brazilian supermodel won’t take Leo back because "she’s totally in love with Tom Brady," says the source. Gisele has been dating the New England Patriots quarterback since December 2006.
