Been wondering how Katie Holmes will celebrate Valentine’s Day now that she gnawed through the chains known as Tom Cruise? Celebuzz spotted her in NYC this week and got the answer.

We also found out how Nick Cannon keeps Mariah Carey happy – and it isn’t by giving her a new Hello Kitty purse every morning as she awakens in her humidifier room that’s undoubtedly covered in rainbow posters and glow-in-the-dark unicorn stickers. And little Swarovski butterflies that hang from the ceiling.

Flush with newfound personal freedom and a resurrected acting career, Eddie Murphy is letting the good times roll, reports the New York Post.

A source tells the paper that Murphy’s Beverly Hills’ bachelor pad has been party central as of late, complete with high-profile guests and, um, bowling.

“Eddie has taken the after-hours party up a notch since he’s been single. Murphy and Johnny Gill [who lives in the sprawling manse's guesthouse] have been holding bowling tournaments in the house’s bowling alley almost every weekend,” the source reports. “He even hired DJ Ruckus to spin one party.”

Those who’ve dropped by to partake of Murphy’s mad hosting skillz and immaculately waxed lanes include Busta Rhymes, Bobby Brown and Dallas Austin.

Presumably not on the guest list: Murphy’s vindictive baby mama, Melanie “Scary Spice” Brown. But then again, she’s used to getting snubbed.
