good evening! well it looks like tom cruise gave permission to his stepford wife katie holmes to get all gussied up - and look good for a change! a glowing ms. holmes was in NYC hosting independent filmmaker project's 30th anniversary celebration which is a bit ironic since katie isn't a filmmaker nor is she independent - but we'll let that slide for now and give her a thumbs for managing to pull herself together and ditch her usual zombie-like appearances! popbytes over & out for now ... xoxo
good evening y'all! whatever you might think of hollywood's creepiest couple tom cruise and katie holmes (that whole tom calling her 'kate' didn't last very long) you have to admit they're looking quite glamorous (and photoshopped) in the holiday '08 issue of T: the new york times style magazine which will be available with two different covers (his & hers) i love the pictures - a total throwback to old hollywood with ms. holmes doing her best greta garbo - each of 'em sat down with lynn hirschberg for a little Q+A - there's two videos (branded as screen tests) posted below - along with two quotes that totally made me roll my eyes (and then i almost threw up when katie mentioned she'd love to do an action film...UGH!) something just doesn't sit right with me (and pretty much everyone else i talk to) when it comes to tom & his stepford bride - although i adore their daughter suri cruise who is just the cutest hollywood kid right now! (she probably already has a book deal in the works) popbytes over & out for now...xoxo (oh - and all this press is not going to help his new flick valkyrie - it'll be a bust for sure)
There's a misperception about me that I just became this wallflower, this woman who doesn't have any control of her life. That I just became a wife. And that's pretty wrong. From the very beginning, I've made choices in my life that have been very strong. When I met Tom, I was completely in love and, yes, I admired him growing up — he's Tom Cruise! And, yes, I followed his movies and maybe had his photo up on my wall. I thought, How does he do what he does? And when I met him, he was so warm and I thought, Wow! You can be a superstar and a human being. He made me feel so amazing. SOURCE
Did Kate tell you that as a young girl, she had a crush on you? No. I didn't know that until later. As a young girl, Kate said she dreamed of marrying me. And I said I wouldn't want to disappoint her. I knew I wanted to marry Kate when I met her. After our very first date, I was sure. So I bought the ring shortly after that first date. At one point, I thought she was going to ask me to marry her first and I put her off by changing the subject. I wanted to ask her. SOURCE
hey hey! once again katie holmes was spotted out & about in NYC with daughter suri cruise in tow (right now she's hollywood's hottest tot) the two went to magnolia bakery in the west village for chocolate iced cupcakes - of course suri brought along a girl's best friend - her dolly! although i'm not a huge fan of tom cruise or his 'stepford wife' katie - but their daughter is just way too adorable - i don't even really like kids all that much but i'd totally take her in if she needed a home! poor thing obviously needs a better social life than prancing around new york city w/ mommy in a scientology signature blue dress - i'd love to see her chill out with shiloh-nouvel jolie-pitt or kingston rossdale - maybe when ms. holmes is done with her broadway stint and the cruise clan moves back to los angeles we'll see a little more social action for suri! before i sign off for the evening - i've got to mention that thing katie has wrapped around her waist - it looks like a ratty flannel nightgown found at a yard sale (i know the economy is tough but girl come on!) she's so needs to stow away any dreams of having her own fashion line - girlfriend needs serious style help from tim gunn or carson kressley ASAP! popbytes over & out for tonight...xoxo
good morning! is it just me - or do tom cruise and katie holmes look more like brother and sister than husband and wife? last night NYC's hermes madison avenue store threw a cocktail party in honor of ms. holmes' broadway debut in all my sons - where she showed up in a suit very similar to hubby tom's! (who was wearing his sunglasses at night) it's much better than what she was wearing just the other night (a total fashion disaster - which she actually made herself...she needs to stop being so crafty) but i certainly don't think you'd catch brad pitt & angelina jolie wearing matching suits! i love the picture at the bottom taken from behind - even their haircuts are in the same vain - it's totally time for katie to run before the transformation is complete - i think she'd be much better off without him (and scientology) i can't wait to see how their 'relationship' (code word for contract) plays out over the next few years! popbytes over & out for now...xoxo
oh my gosh - this has to be the worst outfit ever - holy fucking shit! (pardon my language) what kind of scientology uniform is this?!? i'm freaking out over what katie holmes decided to toss on for the after party celebrating the official opening night of her first (and probably last) broadway production - a revival of arthur miller's incredibly dramatic 1947 play all my sons (which my high school theater club (known as 'the ward melville players') put on but i'd love to see the new NYC production - just out of pure curiosity plus star patrick wilson is a total hottie) ms. holmes' outfit would be a drop better if she completely removed the black lace top part yet the creamy white color of the suit is all wrong for her - oh those billowy pants - it just screams harlequin (age 65) gone wrong (plus she also needs to lose the tacky gold bangle necklace...which might actually be hubby tom cruise's tracking device) sometimes katie does manage to be fairly cute & fashionably dressed but certainly not tonight (and what's up with her awful & mismatched lipstick color choice?) i nominate this outfit as the very worst of the entire year...what a total fashion disaster! popbytes over & out for tonight...xoxo (there's also pictures below of her curtain call - where she's wearing a way better outfit - even though it's her play costume!)
...that was the message delivered to scientology loud and clear earlier tonight in NYC by a bunch of anti-scientology protesters held up near the schoenfeld theatre where katie holmes was just hours away from making her broadway debut in arthur miller's classic play all my sons...people are calling for katie to be freed from the grip of her hubby tom cruise who has come under major fire over the past few years for his heavy involvement with the wacky & secretive cult 'religion' first formed by sci-fi writer l. ron hubbard! the two (aka tomkat) make such an odd & awkward couple (just look at these pictures from last night's dress rehearsal) i can't see them lasting forever - once they split she needs to write a book about her whole 'stepford' experience...unless that's clearly forbidden in the contract she probably signed with xenu...hopefully ms. holmes will receive decent reviews for her broadway performance - girlfriend seriously needs some small ray of hope to hold onto like those flowers from joshua jackson or her adorable daughter suri! popbytes over & out for tonight...xoxo
at least katie holmes looks like one in the picture below with her smaller hubby tom cruise standing next to her - the couple took in a little motorcycle racing this afternoon at red bull's moto grandprix held in laguna seca, california - right now girlfriend is quite busy (even while rocking purple hands) ms. holmes is not only going to be starring on broadway (in a revival of arthur miller's play all my sons - previews begin september 18th, opening night is on october 16th) she's also returning to her television roots by doing a guest appearance on ABC's eli stone which will air on october 21st! i really have no major feelings about katie one way or the other - she's really not that great of an actress (however i did like her in both go and thank you for smoking) although she might have initially thought marrying tom might have helped her career - with all the bizarre scientology rumors - katie probably would have fared better staying single (she totally missed out on being part of the dark knight) the best thing to come out of the tomkat union is little suri cruise who is super adorable! popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo
good morning & happy friday everybody! below i've got tom cruise and 'stepford' wife katie holmes who hit the red carpet last night at the arclight cinemas here in hollywood for the premiere of tom's latest film lions for lambs - ms. holmes actually does look totally fabulous & glamorous in black (i love her hoop earrings) but two things strike me as a bit odd - first the couple almost has matching hairstyles - the main difference being their hair is parted on different sides & katie's is a bit longer (tom needs a haircut - he should stick with short & neat) the second thing is - doesn't tom look about the same height as katie in these pictures? isn't he shorter than her?!? she must be bending her knees or something! (or he has his lifts on) popbytes over & out for now...xxoo! (and now there's talk of her sporting a baby bump last night which you might notice ever so slightly...)
good morning! it looks like tom cruise & katie holmes are building a mystery...bump today - gone tomorrow! mrs. tom cruise was seen out in spain where she was celebrating with david & victoria beckham (he played his last game over there - next stop los angeles!) katie was sporting what appears to be a pretty obvious baby bump but just days later the cruises were in the south of france where katie wore a tighter fitting creamy dress showing no baby on board - the pictures are below! the angle of the new pic might not show a bump but for sure she's got something going on in the other dress! i'd bet money she's preggers again - katie has said she'd love to have more children - and while tom has got her under his spell - he might as well take advantage! we'll know soon enough if she is indeed pregnant! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
good evening everyone! oh the tabloid fun continues with more from STAR magazine (oh my word that jengelina post flew off the shelves today...thanks to everyone who tossed popbytes link love...it's totally appreciated!)
the best thing about all this type of gossip is always the headlines...below we've got so long tom! katie runs away! but oh yes he certainly knows where she is! mrs. kate cruise was over in paris being a fashion maven having a blast with her BFF and one of my favorite people lately victoria beckham (again you know i go for the messy & wild one...for some reason posh gets me excited (not boner inducing but you know what i mean) but maybe it's just her husband david beckham who is the hottest guy (and boner worthy) on the entire planet...no one beats him!)
even though kat(i)e is in talks with a few movies it sounds like she needs to start considering other options...check out the small tidbit below which implies we might see her doing some fashion editorial shots/adverts! tonight i got all deep and asked myself will tom & kate last? and to be 100% honest i had a hard time coming up with an answer (even after lighting a candle!) but if i were laying down cold hard cash i'd have to place all bets on them splitting within the next two years but only time will tell! popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo!
PS in between the scans i picked out four videos that represent the idea of 'running away'...my personal favorite is the deee-lite video in the top right hand corner!
"like katie, victoria was raised catholic," another insider says, and if she's anything like the toledo, ohio raised holmes, she might be skeptical about other faiths. however, katie, has no regrets about her trip - or her friendship for that matter. "for her," the source says, "being in paris was like a breakout from prison." she'll be breaking out even more: according to variety, she's in "talks" to co-star with queen latifah in the upcoming film, mad money.
oh yes - today was the big day over in italy when tom cruisefinally completed his whole kat(i)e holmes takeover scheme...she is now mrs. tom cruise! the wedding was a scientologist based ceremony - does that mean katie is now a 100% full-fledged l. ron hubbard guru? or does she need to get inducted in some other (creepy) ceremony? gosh who knows how it all works - some things are better left a mystery - we all know what happened to the cat when curiosity came poking around - let's just see how long this marriage lasts - anyone feel like placing bets? popbtes over & out for now - xxoo!
look! oh my word - tom cruise is taller than katie holmes...well he can thank some bleachers for that! (many thanks to STAR for the scan) it's so funny how all his woman tower over him - so i guess when the opportunity comes along to stand a bit taller (especially when someone is snapping pics) tom takes it! popbytes over & out for tonight - xxoo!
gosh doesn't their shopping spree and outing look like an absolute blast? oh the fun keeps on flowing for tomkat! i wish i could have been there to enjoy the good (feigned) times! below is katie holmes with her mom kathleen & tom's mom mary lee - many thanks to my pals at STAR for the scans...popbytes over & out for now - xxoo!
PS many thanks to the commenter who pointed out both moms are wearing almost the exact same sweater & necklace - creepy! i didn't even notice - i was so focused on those sad faces...
oh my gosh! i can't believe she is here! below is one of the first glances of tomkat's baby girl ms. suri cruise (tonight on the CBS news katie couric held up the much coveted vanity fair magazine) i must say after all this drama (it has been four months since her birth...) she is way adorable - oh my word!
UPDATE the cover is now all over the place...i like the picture better below - the cover photograph is a bit off...i much prefer the 'people' cover featuring shiloh-nouvel jolie-pitt - what do you all think?
looks like tom cruise is making a few strides in an effort to restore his overall public image which has been in a steady downward decline since he first hooked up with katie holmes - after going off on brooke shields in a crazy tirade a few months ago for her use of antidepressants (scientology doesn't support the use of such things) he has now apologized to ms. shields...in person! when on 'the tonight show' last week, she told jay leno that he just dropped by her house...and through it all, i was so impressed with how heartfelt it was. and i didn't feel at any time that i had to defend myself, nor did i feel that he was trying to convince me of anything other than the fact that he was deeply sorry. and i accepted it... but i highly doubt she invited him in for tea!
boy tom does have a lot of leg work cut out for him - even rosie o'donnell ditched him for nip/tuck's julian mcmahon...i fell in love with julian mcmahon while taping this show, i still love my old tommy, but julian is gorgeous – he’s my new tommy! notice how she refers to mr. cruise as her 'old tommy' - he sure is trying to do a rewind to the 'old tommy' ASAP...popbytes over & out for now - xxoo!
PS even though he apologized tom does still stand by his position...he has not changed his position about antidepressants, which as evidenced by the black label warnings issued by the FDA on these types of drugs, are unhealthy
yes we all want to see suri cruise...out of plain curiousity more than anything else at this point! if you somehow end up meeting her in person (very doubtful) this week's STAR magazine outlines ten things to keep in mind...
1. don't indulge in baby talk
2. don't photograph her (if you can get away with it though...)
3. don't play with her (no gin rummy for baby!)
4. don't pick her up (she bites)
5. don't scold her
6. don't tease her (about being an alien)
7. do try to find out what she's trying to communicate and acknowledge her (help me!)
8. do stroke her fingers (make sure she has ten...)
9. don't tire her out
10. do tell her 'suri, you're a winner!' (of an oddball dad & a dazed mom!)
in other cruise news it looks like those negotiations between tom cruise and paramount pictureswent pretty sour - head of viacom sumner 'dinosaur' redstone announced today the end of a 14 year long relationship with mr. cruise's production company (cruise/wagner) by saying as much as we like him personally, we thought it was wrong to renew his deal. his recent conduct has not been acceptable to paramount...looks like tom's crazy antics & odd behavior have finally caught up with him! popbytes over & out for tonight - check you all in the morning...xxoo!
it could have been such a sweet memory for suri cruise to have made her public debut on the cover of vanity fair magazine but before those pics had a chance to be published (perhaps in the fall she will be the covergirl) we will forever have the ghastly image below burned into our memories courtesy of X17! an aerial zoom photo of kat(i)e holmes standing in the cruise mansion (sadly) looking out the window and to her left is baby suri - she lives!
yes it's fuzzy and all but that is for sure a baby! i tweaked out the picture to increase the creepy factor which was in full effect already! besides who can pass up a chance to make reference to one of the greatest horror franchises of all-time - i love that freddy krueger! he would actually fit quite well at the mansion since it's one big creep-out fest - this image for sure is going to give me nightmares! on that note i'm almost ready for bedtime - popbytes over & out - check you all tomorrow!
actress penelope cruz became the third spokesperson (she's really beautiful. she's one of the most beautiful babies I've ever seen...) for the on-going got suri? campaign being masterminded by tom cruise...first a fellow scientologist (leah remini), next a very good friend (jada pinkett smith), and now an ex-girlfriend (penelope)...gosh if i were to plan this PR campaign i would've picked some more objective people like say andy rooney or debbie reynolds - it's becoming all so weird as people keep stepping up to the plate one by one 'claiming' to have seen suri cruise and each 'sighting' becomes its very own news story - this whole situation is so fucking bizarre people!!! lordy i bet rob schneider is considering jumping on the suri bandwagon soon - a man has to keep his name out there! popbytes over & out for tonight - check you all tomorrow!
oh more kat(i)e holmes drama from STAR! she still can't be a proud mama and show off her baby, her career is on hold, her parents are freaked out about scientology and losing touch with their daughter, plus she isn't even married yet to tom cruise - the only time that kat(i)e seems content (and alone) is when she goes shopping!
all this speculation aside the main thing i'd like to see is a sit down interview with just ms. holmes...we don't need mr. tom coaching her on what & what not to say (she can take her pick...diane, barbara, oprah, anyone at this point!) i can't remember the last time i saw her speak or answer any questions - maybe at the MI3 premiere? and does anyone know if she has plans to reprise her character (rachel dawes) for the upcoming (2008) batman sequel? popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
she seems so confused - about her relationship, career, the baby, everything! she's very sweet, but very lost...
katie probably worries that if she and tom were to call it quits, she'd most likely lose suri. there isn't a chance in hell that tom would let anyone else, not even katie, raise his first born biological child. i think he's way too controlling. katie loves tom and wants to solve this dilemma,i think katie just wants her life back...
so i drove over by the scientology celebrity centre a little while ago and yes there definitely is something big being set-up! i got so nervous when i was around there - there were trucks on the street and lots of different people with walkie talkies as well as security - i tried to snap some pics but i really didn't feel like stopping - gosh i could never be a spy or go undercover - i would so blow it! so i drove around for a second time and grabbed some quick video (about 40 seconds) which you can watch below - i don't think it is going to be the tomkat wedding - there were huge decorations in the yard but they don't look like wedding 'schtick' at all especially with the red/green/blue lights...but who knows what is really going on there - some sorta 'public affair'! popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo!
