Graduation season is upon us! With Summer comes the end of the school year for colleges and high schools around the country, and to celebrate, we're looking back at many of our favorite celebrities during their old-school days. Tom Cruise's picture proves he was just as much of a heartthrob back in high school, while plenty of leading ladies got their starts before an audience as cheerleaders, including Cameron Diaz. Britney Spears was out on the hardwood herself playing with her basketball team, and Tom Cruise showed an early interest in action on the wrestling team. Plus, Blake Lively liked to joke around well before she nabbed a big-screen part.

Click through to see the stars back in the day — and congrats to all the grads out there!

Ian Somerhalder was in New Orleans yesterday, getting a drink at a gas station before taking a walk with family. It seems Ian went home to Louisiana once shooting for The Vampire Diaries wrapped for the season. It was good timing, since Ian's also recovering from his split from longtime girlfriend Nina Dobrev. Nina, 24, and Ian, 34, had been together for about three years, and apparently grew apart despite logging long hours on the set of their show together. Neither Ian nor Nina have commented on the breakup, but he did post a mysterious tweet just after news of their parting ways broke. He referenced playwright Lillian Hellman's quote, "People change and forget to tell each other." Another chapter is coming to a close for Ian, with the Vampire Diaries' season finale airing Thursday.

Diane Kruger, Zoe Saldana, and more starlets hit the Chateau Marmont in LA last night for a special dinner party held in honor of designer Prabal Gurung. Along with Vogue magazine and MAC Cosmetics, Prabal invited a group of famous friends to celebrate his designs. Diane Kruger bared her stomach alongside boyfriend Joshua Jackson, while Ginnifer Goodwin had her boyfriend, Josh Dallas, and their Once Upon a Time costar Jennifer Morrison for company. Prabal circulated around the event with the "wonderful as ever" Hailee Steinfeld and Star Trek Into Darkness costars Alice Eve and Zachary Quinto. Allure cover girl Zoe Saldana made a stylist appearance alongside Amber Valletta and Jaime King. Rachel Zoe, meanwhile, brought husband Rodger Berman and later tweeted that they had "such a special evening!"

Emma Watson looked like a movie star from head to toe today when she arrived in Nice. The Nice Airport, just about one hour from Cannes, was Emma's entry into France ahead of her appearance at the Cannes Film Festival. Emma will be on hand to present her film The Bling Ring along with director Sofia Coppola. They're screening the movie, based on the true story about a group of young people who robbed Hollywood celebrities, ahead of its opening in the US on June 14 — check out the Bling Ring trailer. Emma's one of many stars expected on the Croisette for the festival, which officially kicks off tomorrow. Before then, look back at our roundup of the most glam Cannes photos ever!

Who is this new Gwyneth Paltrow? Long considered one of Hollywood's most private stars, we have learned so much about her in recent weeks and, in some cases, more than one perhaps wanted to know. She's had no shortage of opportunities to divulge previously unknown facts about her life, as she traveled the world doing interviews to promote her book It's All Good, movie Iron Man 3, and business Goop.

From her grooming habits to her thoughts on Kanye West, we have rounded up Gwyneth's most recent quotable moments! And may the bean-spilling continue.

The bride wore black! 90210 actress Shenae Grimes married her fiancé, Josh Beech, a British model, in Vera Wang gown today outside of London. He alerted his Twitter followers about the news, writing, "Huge day!" And she confirmed that today was indeed special by posting a photo of themselves in their wedding finest a bit later with the comment, "I now pronounce us Mr. and Mrs. Beech!" Shenae wore a black Vera Wang gown for the backyard ceremony at an English Tudor home. Shenae and Josh got engaged in December. Congrats to the newlyweds!

Anne Hathaway took her bright blond hair out on the town again last night when she and her husband, Adam Shulman, attended An Evening Celebrating Lincoln Center in NYC. The bash, appropriately held at Lincoln Center, honored Reynold Levy, who has been the president of the Manhattan arts space since 2002. At the party, Anne posed for pictures with both Reynold and her friend Audra McDonald, as well as better half Adam.

It has been a very social week for Anne, who debuted her new hair hue on Monday night at the Met Gala. The good times continued for Adam and Anne on Wednesday at the Tate Americas Foundation Artists Dinner.

Prince Harry met with disabled vets at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, where he joked around in the gym, this afternoon in Bethesda, MD. It was his second public event of the day. This morning, Prince Harry paid his respects to fallen US soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia. Dressed in his ceremonial Blues and Royals of the British armed services, Harry reflected on the deaths of soldiers in the Afghanistan war and dropped off a wreath at the tomb of an unknown soldier. The Afghanistan conflict is of particular meaning to Harry, as he's done two tours of duty there as a helicopter pilot. He left a message to the fallen at the cemetery, writing on a wreath, "To my comrades-in-arms of the United States of America, who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in the cause of freedom." Later today, he will travel to Colorado for the Warrior Games, a competition for wounded or ill soldiers.

Harry's American tour will also see him visit Colorado, New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut to focus on charity. Yesterday, Harry kicked off his latest stint in America with a handful of political engagements. He started the day touring a land mine exhibit, hosted by the HALO Trust associated with his mother, Princess Diana, alongside Senator John McCain, then surprised military families at a White House reception hosted by First Lady Michelle Obama. Harry wrapped up his night with a dinner at the British ambassador's home.

Tom Cruise broke from his Asian press tour for Oblivion yesterday for a cultural outing. Along with director Joseph Kosinski, Tom visited the Great Wall of China and appeared to have a blast doing so, joking, smiling for pictures, and even breaking into a sprint along the 13,171-mile-long structure.

The hectic pace of the last few days clearly didn't slow Tom down. On Tuesday, he and costar Olga Kurylenko attended a Japanese press conference for Oblivion, the film that was followed by a Wednesday premiere in Tokyo. And yesterday brought yet another red carpet event, this time in Beijing. Tom's hectic promotional pace is mirrored in his movie-making schedule. It was confirmed this week that Tom will take on the role of Ethan Hunt for a fifth time in yet another Mission: Impossible film.

Our position on the red carpet at last night's Met Gala afforded the chance to observe what really takes place on the storied red carpet! It was model, designer, and actor madness as guests headed in to celebrate the opening of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute exhibit Punk: Chaos to Couture.

Veteran attendees Gisele Bündchen and her husband, Tom Brady, shared a run-in with first-timer Kim Kardashian on the carpet, while a Valentino-clad Gwyneth Paltrow caught up with her good friend Jessica Seinfeld. Kristen Stewart wasn't bothered by the stars like Sarah Jessica Parker and Jessica Biel mingling outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art, though her pal Jennifer Lawrence did do a bit of socializing with her fellow Dior spokesperson Marion Cotillard.

There were many other candid moments we captured last night — in addition to seeing the best Met Gala fashion pictures, click through to see our first-person snaps!

Madonna was the last celebrity on the red carpet at last night's Met Gala in NYC, arriving later than even honorary cochair Beyoncé Knowles. She walked the red carpet with her boyfriend, Brahim Zaibat, who accessorized with two flags. Madonna had another lucky guy on her arm as she did interviews with Givenchy's Riccardo Tisci, the man behind her creative — and short — ensemble. Later, Madge stripped down to lingerie and a fishnet body stocking to attend the official Met Gala afterparty with Riccardo and Brahim. She capped off the wild night by holding court with Katy Perry, Frank Ocean, and a host of other fashion cool kids.
