Tropic Thunder Premiere (pics & more!)
The stars were out for the premiere of movie industry parody Tropic Thunder last night. Katie Holmes flew from her Broadway rehearsals in NY to LA in order to accompany her husband to the premiere. Cruise makes a cameo in the film as a swearing paunchy executive in an obvious reference to Sumner Redstone, the Viacom head who fired the actor after his Oprah and Matt Lauer PR scandal. Cruise and Redstone were seen having lunch together earlier this year and Redstone is said to have found Cruise’s imitation

Katie Holmes: 'Tom Cruise Gives Me Confidence'
Katie Holmes has admitted to blushing when Tom Cruise pays her a compliment about her appearance. The actress, who is due to appear in Broadway play All My Sons later this year, can’t help but get red-faced when her husband tells her she’s radiating beauty. “I love it when Tom tells me I look great. It gives me such confidence," she tells Hello. "Sometimes it makes me blush but it also gives me attitude. Every woman likes to be told she looks beautiful.” However, there is one problem ar

Exclusive: Katie Holmes Cruises to 'Eli Stone'
Yep, you read that headline correctly. In arguably the biggest piece of stunt casting since How I Met Your Mother lassoed Britney Spears, sources confirm to me exclusively that Katie Holmes is returning to the small screen this fall on ABC's sophomore drama, Eli Stone. A spokesperson for the show declined to comment, but I'm told Suri's mama is on board for one episode. The gig, which should give a nice boost to the critically-adored but marginally-rated series, marks a reunion between Holmes and her

Gere cites "insane courage" in India kissing row
Actor Richard Gere, who until recently faced Indian obscenity charges for publicly kissing a Bollywood star, called his troubles on Tuesday "a badge of courage." Gere made headlines when he kissed Shilpa Shetty, winner of the British reality television show "Celebrity Big Brother," several times on the cheek at an anti-AIDS show in New Delhi last year. "It's a badge of somewhat insane courage," he told Reuters during a visit to San Francisco on Tuesday, saying others had also been charged with similar

Xenu’s Scientology Princess
Katie Holmes looked like she's been possessed by Xenu in her latest look that is about 20 years too late. You have to wonder if Tom is doing anything in his power to make her the most undesirable looking thing in the world.
