Restaurant Staff Comes to TomKat's Rescue

Tom Cruise's dinner date with baby mama Katie Holmes had all the elements of a big screen action film -- romance, thrills and even a dramatic escape.

After the paparazzi spotted the couple quietly dining at Il Ristorante di Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica Saturday night, chaos quickly ensued. The photogs were locked and loaded outside the restaurant waiting for the famous couple to exit, when an army of restaurant employees came to the rescue by holding up their aprons and obstructing the cameras as best they could.

Even Giorgio Baldi himself stepped in, jumping in front of the lenses of the lingering photographers.

Guess Tom left one heck of a tip!

31. Don't let them be rich and famous anymore. I am not sorry for Katie at all. I think she is enjoying this time. Why? She became famous and rich. I think she is pretty smart. She is old enough what she is doing now. Nothing to lose for her. Just IMO.

32. Was this an article about Tom & Katie going out ? Oh . . you could have fooled me I thought it was more an article about what inconsiderate jerks the photographers are!
Especially the "gentleman" who kept stepping right in front of the auto, leaning against the hood of the car to have his camera flash in their faces so he can get that perfect picture of Tom driving his car!! pppllllleeeeeaaaaaasssseee . . . what a friggin jerk. . . and honsetly how many pictures do you need?
Oh Oh now I get it. . the photographers do this in HOPES of pissing off people so they can get that printed up . . ah now I get it ! . . you know what I would like to see. . I would like to see all the celebs gather together & go around following the photographes WHERE EVER they go, scream at them, push, shove, climb their trees, dig through their trash & print up articles on them. . .

33. I am not defending paparazzi at all but this is such a setup on the Cruise Control side. He is not helping his image being in hiding and now we are getting sick of seeing him/them. Both of you...go home and take care of "your baby". I could understand if they went to a low key place to eat but give me a break.
Don't be such an immature airhead Katie.

34. i will never understand the Tom Cruise haters.

if you think cruise's fans are 'oversessed', you really should stand aside and listen to the haters..

if he leave sthe baby tat home, he is crazy, if he brings her out he is insane.
whatever he does he MUST be crazy right?

36. If I was in that car, it would have taken all the self control I have to NOT run that one guy over. I know the paps get paid quite a bit for their pics but thats going a bit too far. What if they were walking down a sidewalk and didn't have that car between them and that nutbag?

37. Katie looks soooooooo unhappy. She is probably getting to know the REAL Tom Cruise...contolling asshole. I was in N.O. when Interview w/a Vampire was filming...Cruise was the rudest, unkind, & downright unfriendly to those around him. Maybe, he was threatened by Brad Pitt's acting ability??? Katie is such a beautiful actress! What a shame,Tom has her caged like a pet. Maybe he is afraid if she gets loose she won't come back. What a freak he is!!!

38. All of this is abhorrently distorted and blown up! So tired of all this TomKat crap... Why are people so involved in this; Tom Cruise is a pompous jerk and Katie Holmes is retarded to marry this guy, let alone become pregnant with his child! Look at the way this guy has acted over the past and the arrogant way he carries himself. The shows he's been on and especially to proclaim he knows the history of psychiatry, to also denounce and criticize all women who take antidepressants for post partem depression; to also in general speak so ill of psychiatric medications, when so many are not able to live without them? I think he's an ass and any girl who marries a guy like this, let alone go out with him has rocks in her head and smokes crack! I think Tom and Katie are without any doubt excellent actors, but as people I don't know so much? Katie I feel sorry for, but Cruise is just a pompous ass! Wake up people, why are you so engulfed in all of this TomKat crap (sickening)?
