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
Dr. Drew Apologizes for Saying Tom Cruise Suffers From "Neglect"
Dr. Drew Pinsky "meant no harm" to Tom Cruise when he told Playboy that the actor's interest in Scientology is "a function of a very deep emptiness and suggests serious neglect in childhood – maybe some abuse but mostly neglect," his rep tells Usmagazine.com.
"[Dr. Drew] apologizes if his comments were hurtful," the rep says.
In response to Pinsky's remarks to Playboy, Cruise's attorney Bert Fields told the New York Post that Pinksy is an "unqualified television performer who is obviously just looki

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.
All I see her doing is vacuum cleaner demonstrations for the Home Shopping Network in the next five years. At least that's still better than the Creek.

Ten Dirty Old(er) Men (and women)!
Celebrities get to do a lot of things us normal mortals can't. Some things, say, counting yachting as a hobby, are directly related the amount of money they haul in by the truckload every time they pretend to be someone else for a few hours. Others are because the world, as a whole, goes starry eyed and grants celebs carte blanche to live their lives as they see fit.

New Film Tests Crudity’s Limits
Ben Stiller slurps gore from a human head. Robert Downey Jr. wears Blackface throughout. Both milk an extended gag about Hollywood’s weakness for what they impolitely call retards.
And the film was not cheap.
“Tropic Thunder,” an R-rated movie-industry spoof set to open on Aug. 13, is shaping up as an unusual parting gift to Paramount Pictures from Steven Spielberg, David Geffen and Stacey Snider. The three are expected to leave Paramount shortly over dissatisfaction with its handling of their D

Tom Cruise Mystery
It appears that Tom Cruise isn't putting all his eggs into the Valkyrie basket. Valkyrie, you'll recall, is the Bryan Singer-directed thriller in which Cruise plays a German officer who tried to assassinate Hitler. That project has hit some bumps on its way to theaters. Meanwhile, Cruise is also making an attempt to go back to his roots. But making that happen isn't simple: It seems that the Cruise camp recently reached out to Paramount about making Mission: Impossible 4 and got seriously disavowed.

Broadway Hates Katie Holmes
WHEN it comes to the Broadway box office, the current Mrs. Tom Cruise doesn't have a patch on the former Mrs. Tom Cruise.
Katie Holmes, who'll star in the revival of Arthur Miller's "All My Sons" this fall, may be a nice little actress, but so far she's not much of a draw, say sources involved in the production who are beginning to fret that ticket sales aren't as strong as they'd hoped.

Tom Cruise and Selma Hayek's Office Evacuated
According to E! Online a bomb scare was the reason behind an evacuation of the headquarters of United Artists. The bomb scare, first reported by Defamer, was triggered when an unidentified office worker in the building received an anonymous phone call, claiming an explosive device would blow up the tower at noon. Later the phone call was found to be a false alarm. Lucky guys. I bet they need to go wash their underwear.
Katie Didn't Kick Tom's Family Out of Their House
Katie Holmes was not the reason Tom Cruise's family moved out of the couple's Beverly Hills home, a spokeswoman for the "Top Gun" star told London's Metro newspaper.
