The TomKat Publicity Tour Rages On

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.

46. #32 (LIZ) Who cares! Tom is a control freak and both his ex wives have said so...and YES I believe them! So stop yelling for Gods sake..get a grip... Tom is not worth the energy.. and I won't be coming back to this site, so don't bother replying.

47. I'm still trying to figure out if the kid has a wig on. Something just doesn't look right. As for Tom's reputation....it's too little too late.

48. it has always been about tom!
the guy is desperate to repair his image and be in good graces of producers and fans that, all of the sudden, he apologizes to brooke shields, reveals his daughter's pictures and is on a frantic publicity blitz with his unwed girlfriend.
i don't buy it at all. it screams FAKE !
but then again...is there anything about him that's not ?

49. It seems that Tom never misses a beat. How clever to apologize to Brooke Shields, right before his Vanity Fair baby magazine is out. He is so calculating is scary. How dare Katie be so offended, she dosen't seem to critize Tom's crap or sh*t.

I for one will not buy the magazine or see any of their movies. Enough is enough. Used to be a fan but no more..............Mary *

51. Tom is and always will be a wacko....for the majority of folks, they see right through his b.s. and for those who don't, well, that's why we have criminals loose on the street. If you truly believe that Tom--#1..is the father of this baby, see how willing he would be to do a DNA test (with REPUTABLE witnesses to see that things aren't faked) like Michael (wacko-jacko) Jackson. THERE are a couple of "DADDIES" to believe in and #2....how come he NEVER HAD KIDS in his OTHER MARRIAGES??? There were several that lasted a couple years but no baby...hmmmm...kinda strange there with him "loving" the idea of parenthood and all..... How 'bout the photo? WHY is he wrapped around Suri and Katie has to be on the "outside" looking in? SHE should be the one HOLDING the baby with Tom holding them both, to make it look real. As it is, he is again grandstanding and TAKING CONTROL of the situation. Some relationship this one.........and as for his apology to Brooke.........FAKE.........SHE may have told Jay Leno that she believed it was sincere but his popularity is at stake here so he is pretty willing to do just about anything that would make him look somewhat "normal"...Let's see how much of a "family man" he turns out to be (seeing as how his life is so wrapped up in this scientology stuff). Which makes me wonder WHY is he the only WACKO about this "religion" when folks like John Travolta and family and some of the other famous names within this like Tom, don't act as goofy about it or try and force others to convert like Tom does. Stop and think that one over...He just ain't right any more...don't know WHY he went off the deep end but it looks like it's too late for the life jacket to work here.

52. Let us pray for them... They are going to need it... Maybe they will get out of the cult...

53. I agree with No# 48(Mary Imai) I'm tired of hearing of their news. What is going on in America? Don't let them be rich or famous anymore.

54. I do not agree with the fact that they aren't married. I believe in marriage. BUT Poor little Suri doesn't have anything to say about WHO she is. She didn't ask for Tom & Katie to be her parents.She is ONLY a baby. It's not her fault that she was brought into this world. I can't for the life of me understand why people argue & are angry at a tiny baby & WHO her parents are. I guess everyone SHOULD take that up with God , after all HE is the one who is REALLY "In Charge!"

55. ENOUGH with the bashing already!! TMZ is a joke and mostly pull shit out of their ass!! So what if they are a fake family, in a cult or adopted a baby from china. Dont you all realize how crazy this crap is? Looking for a true conspiracy look no further then these pig websites like TMZ and Perez Hilton. NO Credibility!!! Sleezballs!

59. I do not know that much about Katie but I do know Tom. He is one sick puppy. He definitely is dysfunctional. He is a perfect example of psychodrama only he does it all by himself. He puts down the psychiatric profession because he will not even acknowledge just how sick he is. Katie needs to dump him and take her child and run as far away from this nut as she can. Katie needs to think of herself and child and not allow this nutcase to affect her and her child's wellbeing. The media has done a good job at exposing Cruise as the wacko he really is. But now they need to back off and leave that innocent child alone.

60. These two are a victim both in their personal lives and from the public media.
I feel sorry for them.
