RSS FeedTom and Katie's pursuit of happiness
When someone flies all the way to Rome to attend your multi-million dollar Scientology nuptials, the least you can do is attend their Westwood premiere, right?
That must be why Tom Cruise and his beaming bride Ka†ie Holmes - with NBCF (new best couple friends) Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony - were at Will Smith's "The Pursuit of Happyness" premiere last night. This scary foursome has actually been double-dating and were spotted earlier this week at Wolfgang Puck's steak house, Cut.
Rumors are swirling about a post-wedding party this weekend for the
happy couple. Arnold Robinson, a Cruise spokesman, has confirmed that there
will be a small, intimate cocktail party at Cruise's longtime producing partner Paula Wagner and Rick Nicita's house on
Saturday for people who were unable to make it to the Italian gig. And
will there be photos? "I really don''t know," said Robinson.
Call it a long shot, but I'm betting pixs of the party for this couple who loves the cameras will be released somewhere next week. People, maybe? Vanity Fair? Or?
Katie (or shall we call her Ka†e, like Tom does?) sure looks like
she may soon give Nicole Kidman a run for her Queen of the Red Carpet
title. Wearing a simple Alber Elbaz black sheath dress and black tights showed off her 150 wattage smile, which was matched by Tom's
equally toothy grin.
Cruise seems determined to raise his Hollywood profile as the new
head of United Artists. He turned up, trying to act laid-back and
normal, at a low-key party for "Notes on a Scandal" and "The Devil
Wears Prada," held at Fox Chairman Tom Rothman's house attended by Meryl Streep, Greg Kinnear, Anne Hathaway, Cate Blanchett, Forest Whitaker.
But Cruise
inexplicably stood near the door and stayed there. According to one partygoer, "It
was strange. He didn't move or mingle, just stood near the door most of
the night where everyone would see him."
The funny thing is - for Cruise - such attention-seeking behavior is normal.

Burke- did you see the picture? That's a scary foursome if I've ever seen one. And Elizabeth Snead is being appropriately snide, as should anyone when it come to *vomit* Scientologists. This is a BLOG people, not a news source.

Here's the thing..... Blogs are, by their very nature, more opinionated than a news story. Sooo.... that in mind, I would recommend reading USA Today for your Tom and Kate news. They routinely edit out any unnecessary adjectives or opinions.

How disappointing to try and just read information about Tom and Katie only to find snide remarks. Can't you just write a straight news piece?

Why did you have to refer to them as the "scary foursome"? When I want rudeness or stupidity from a blog I'll read "The Defamer" or "Perez Hilton". Elizabeth Snead, you're not nearly as amusing, by the way.

Excuse them for being happy - sheesh.

Well Robert , Actually it is "Packer" and he is only rich because of his father. And Tom really only wants him as he sees him as a scientology "bag-O-cash". we all know that down under

I know writer Elizabeth Snead can be fashionably snide, but since when did the L.A. Times allow someone to replace the "T" in a person's name with a cross???
Kate, by the way, is what friends and family have called Katie Holmes privately for years–and that is well documented. Contrary to the popular myth, Tom Cruise did not invent the term.

Why comment on Tom and Katie only to make snide comments..I am sure there are journalists who are willing to take the assignment since you seem to find it so distasteful....Please bear in mind that if someone wants to read about Tom and Katie they are fans of Tom and Katie and most defintely not your fan. Stick to the facts and slap your mother for your lack of manners.

When Cruise wasn't going to openings, he was slammed. Now that he and Wagner are running UA and Cruise is going to Hollywood events, he is slammed. He doesn't drive drunk, he doesn't throw phones at hotel personnel, he doesn't get into auto accidents, he doesn't do drugs, he doesn't slam other religions. Plus he's worth about $300 million and spends his honeymoon aboard his friend's yacht, a Billionaire friend (Packard) who is the wealthest guy in Australia. Compared to some in Hollywierd, Cruise has his act together.

What will it take for Tom to come out once and for all? Does anybody really care?
