The TomKat Publicity Tour Rages On

Posted Sep 6th 2006 12:55PM by TMZ Staff

Since Tom Cruise's very public firing by Viacom head Sumner Redstone (which owns Paramount Pictures), he and Katie Holmes have put the PR machine into overdrive. TomKat have made getting back in the media's good graces and shedding their bizarre personas their mission impossible.

First, Tom makes a house call to Brooke Shields and apologizes for attacking her in the press last year for her use of antidepressants. Although Cruise still feels the same about the evils of prescription pills, his "heartfelt apology" is the first step in healing his career.

Next, Tom's paramour, Katie, er, Kate Holmes, tries to prove all is well in Cruise-dom by shopping and dining at trendy LA restaurant The Ivy on Tuesday with Katie's and Tom's mothers in tow. Coincidence? Not on your life! Everyone in the business knows going to The Ivy is the Hollywood equivalent of a Sears portrait studio.

Finally, the ever-elusive Suri Cruise surfaces.

Tuesday night, the "CBS Evening News" debuted the first image of the happy family on the cover of the new issue of Vanity Fair, which put to rest months of questions, rumors and conspiracy theories regarding the TomKitten's whereabouts.

While no one can predict what Tom's next highly calculated move will be, at this rate it won't be long before Matt Lauer receives a Cruise call.

5. OMFG #1, who the hell gives a flying f@#k what they believe in, they are human and are allowed to believe in what they want......if you think their religion is a cult you and everybody else should really take a closer look at all other religions as well because they all seem a bit cultish to me!!!!! at least he's trying to pass on something positive and doesn't make you feel like you're going to hell for having a drink or sleeping with your boyfriend/girlfriend!!!!

ps. no i am not a scientologist, i just don't judge people because i don't share their religious beliefs!!!!

6. I guess having an illegitimate baby is good PR in Hollyweird. Better yet, have the kids picture splashed across a magazine. Even Couric is helping. Cruise & Holmes - over soon. Guess who keeps the bastard?

8. Tom and Katie are both weirdos. They can try all they want to get positive publicity but the public won't buy it.

9. Bravo number #6! Took the words right out of my mouth!

10. I think Tom and Katie's baby is adorable!! And yes, I do think their religion is weird, I'm a Catholic, but I happen to think they can believe whatever they want to believe. I don't know why people hate them so much, let them live their lives and stop **hating** people, geez.

11. #6 and #8 = same pathetic nobody, AGAIN. Get a new schtick, little boy, or a friend.

12. Please show your respect. You call them weirdo, but you guys wrote like creepy stalkers. At least he has courage to mend the fence; to admit it. What kind of education or principal you have that teaches you attack people like crazy barking dog? You should go to Iraq to defend our country. Our country needs your hatred to fight our enemies; not an actor and his child. Please, have some mercy.

13. well said #10!!!

14. OMFG#4!!!! From what I can recall, he did try to shove his religiion, and still does, down anyone's throat who will listen! Who the hell is he to tell post-pardem women not to take medication or call out advantages in psychiatry?!
And for #11 - I'm sorry, it took him how long to apologize for his rants? Over a year? And why do you think that is? - because his popularity has been blown out the freakin window, he was fired and he's doing his damndest to regain some control. Boofreakinhoo Tom Cruise!
