Oprah Dissed By Tom-Kat

We may not know who is on the official Tom Cruise-Katie Holmes wedding extravaganza guest list, but we now know at least one mega-star who didn’t make the cut—Oprah Winfrey. Winfrey tells TV’s “Extra,” that she will not be at the ceremony dubbed by the media as the “wedding of the century.” “It’s not that I’m not going,” Winfrey said. “It’s that they had a limited number of people that they could invite. I was not one of the invitees. That’s fine. I don’t get invited to everyone’s wedding. I don’t invite them to everything I do. But I wish … Continue reading

Tom Cruise’s New Job

I’m sure Katie Holmes is breathing a sigh of relief (wink, wink). Her fiancé, Tom Cruise, should be bringing home even more bacon now that he and producing partner Paula Wagner have been put in charge of United Artists, a film studio that was formed by Hollywood legends including Charlie Chaplin and Mary Pickford. According to news reports, Wagner will serve as chief executive of the company, which is owned by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc., while Cruise will appear in United Artists’ films and also be allowed to star in films from rival studios. Today’s announcement follows Cruise and Wagner’s much publicized … Continue reading

Suri Sightings

Stop the presses! Baby Cruise has been seen… and held by someone other than her parents (and nannies). It seems tongue-in-cheek, but for a while after her much awaited birth, little Suri Cruise, the love child of superstar Tom Cruise and actress Katie Holmes, was considered “untouchable.” Untouchable, unseen, and unavoidably the subject of the tabloids, which questioned whether Baby Cruise in fact existed. (See my blog: “Still No Sign of TomKat’s Baby Suri.”) Suri was born in Los Angeles on April 18, but as of today, she has yet to be seen in public. But, there may be hope … Continue reading

Still No Sign of TomKat’s Baby Suri

It’s been nearly three months since the birth heard round the universe—Baby Suri Cruise was born on April 18th—or so we think. Since there has been no official sighting of Baby Cruise skeptics wonder if she exists at all. US Weekly calls it the “baby mystery.” If Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise had a baby, why hasn’t anyone seen her? The magazine claims that friends such as Victoria Beckham, fellow Scientologists John Travolta and Kelly Preston, as well as Will Smith and “Collateral” co-star Jada Pinkett Smith, have yet to see the 2½-month-old infant. Adding fuel to the fire is … Continue reading

What is a Scientology Wedding Ceremony?

Scientology often tops the news because many celebrities follow the tenets of L. Ron Hubbard’s religion. Celebrities make the news and thus Scientology is thrust front and center. Despite the constant appearance in a rash of recent news articles, few do more than speculate, comment or criticize the faith of the Scientologists without actually providing some explanation for what is being commented on. Tom Cruise is among one of the more notable Scientologists in the news of late and a recent report stated that Katie Holmes, his fiancé, is studying Scientology. They will be married in a Scientology wedding ceremony. … Continue reading
