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.

77. Tom Cruise has never done anything that was not to promote his career - look at how he courts publicity just in time for the opening of a new movie. His affair with Katie was designed with his MI3 premiere's schedule. Her age, their not marrying, his conceiving a baby, his apology to Brooke Shields this week, their baby photos, a wedding ceremony - oh. that will be subtle - are all design to promote his star power. He's as natural as a Republican candidate's image.

78. Tom and Katie are off limits with our family forever!!! I will never go to a movie that has any part of either of them on the screen as it helps to contribute to the organization that they follow. Why Tom do you only partake of Catholic Gals so much when you left the seminarian life you had once followed? Eh, Tom?
Maybe everyone should look at the search on the internet... just type in "OTVIII part 2" . That will give everyone a glimpse of where Tomboy and his fallen angel are.

79. TOM CRUISE HAS LOST ALL SENSE OF REALITY. HE JUST NEEDS TO GO AWAY AND FORGET ABOUT IT. HE HAS MADE A COMPLETE FOOL OF HIMSELF AND OF KATIE AND SURI. IF I WERE KATIE I WOULD HEAD FOR THE HILLS AND FIND SOMEONE WHO HAS NOT GONE OVER THE EDGE. THIS IS A BIG PUBLICITY STUNT TO GAIN BACK RESPECT HE HAS LOST, FORGET ABOUT IT, IT IS NEVER GOING TO WORK. I WOULD NEVER PAY TO SEE TOM CRUISE ACT AGAIN AND IF HE WERE ON TV I WOULD CHANGE THE CHANNEL. BIG STAR, LOTS OF MONEY NO BRAINS NO CLASS.

80. And, since he doesn't have a film premiering this week, the reason for him in image overdrive: That big-news, bad publicity firing that Tom received last week.

What more does Mr. Cruise want? more money? an Oscar? an Academy Award I could understand, but perhaps even he knows that's not within his grasp. Even Harrison Ford got old and the box office numbers dried up. Tom, it's not beginning; it happened.

Take some Prozac - for the child's sake.

81. 75 trillion years ago aliens were shoved down volcanoes and blowen up with h bombs and now they are stuck all over tom and katie and soon suri. by the time they get to find out they have all those little buggers stuck to them they will no longer believe in Christ as that is the eventual outcome of all that crazy auditing. Then when they make it to OT VIII ( with all the money they have this fete will be a cakewalk ), anyway, then they will go to the flag ship and find out that they have been need to fight the second coming and that L Ron Hubbard was the one mentioned in the revelations part of the bible and we are to trust lucifer the lightbginger. If you are already a athiest this will make your head swim as you thought you were to believe in no christ not that you were to fight Christ. For those of you who believed in Christ you'll find that L Ron Hubbard thought Christ was a vile person and lover of men and boys. Tom cruise is an ex-seminarian who has suceeded in going after an array of mostly Catholic Women. Why is a good question. First you have to check out the beginnings of Toms new found beliefs. This can be done by going to the internet search...OTVIII part 2 and also Hubbard and Satanism. Don't look to Tom, he just a small follower of a very corrupt cult monster. My family will never watch anything Tom or Katie have been in.

82. Tom has too many 75 trillion year old body thetans stuck to his body to make anymore sense. He's so full of sh*t his kids eyes came out brown. OTVIII part 2.

83. what a sham tom and katie are both trying to rebuild a failing career; does john travolta go off half cocked and and preach about the religion? does kirsty alley? no they don't. tom is brainwashed he doesn't know what end is up. yes i was a manic depressent and i went to my church for help and guidence it did help but i still needed outside help and with meds and counceling everything is under control; if i did not get the help i might not be here now!
and as for the baby i still think shes adopted come on 4 months to come forward with pictures when the world knew this was a big event; the prop department at paramount did a great job making katie look pregnant. tom's "top gun" is still misfiring. and i won't say anymore about that!!!

84. I still think Suri is not Tom's child. I heard he cannot father children. I think Tom paid Katie to get pregnant and Suri is not his nor she doesn't even look like Tom. Katie, who is the real father of Suri? This question needs to be answered. Carol

85. I think you people are the ones that are crazy. I've never in my life seen anything like this. Tom Cruise is a terrific actor and will continue to make wonderful movies. If you choose not to see them, your loss.
By the way, Nicole got pregnant a few times during their marriage, but later miscarried. Mimi was married to Tom when he was twenty-three and not yet, by his own admission, ready to be a father. He was very young.
I think it's very sad that a few people get on a site like this and talk about a person as good as Tom is. It's sad for you, not him. He'll be fine. I don't know about some of you people.......

86. Great post Cindy #85

87. #'s 5 and 13, I agree with you whole-heartedly! But, then again, what would these silly "knowitalls" have to talk about? Little Suri has BLUE eyes and the shape and color is just like her father's. Her eyes are just bigger. You'd think the bashers trying to pick apart every feature on this child would've seen that, too.

88. Do you people not have eyes? If you did, you wouldn't be making the idiotic comments (the negative ones) that you have been. Suri looks like her father. She's a pretty child. She DOES NOT look Asian. She has blue eyes, for crying out loud. this is not Memoirs of A Geisha where the lead character has "too much water on her". Come on, people. Your bashing of Tom, Katie and Suri has gone way too far. She's a beautiful child and judging by the ignorance of alot of the remarks on this board, they did the right thing by not showing her to the public earlier. You people could've seen Katie give birth to her and would still be spouting the same nonsensical bs!

89. Why would a nice girl like Katie get involved with a weirdo like Tom Cruise? Oh yeah PUBLICITY!!! Enough already, the more attention we pay to these people the weirder they are going to get. If they don't want to be hounded by photographers and fans, don't become famous and make millions of dollars.
