So, HOW Do You Know Tom and Katie Again?

Who knew that TomKat and J.Lo were such bosom buddies? Not us -- maybe not even them.
TomKate and their Guests!
Given that we thought the guest list at the Cruise-Holmes nuptials in Italy seemed more like a Fellini film, or an episode of "The Surreal Life" -- Marc Anthony? Jenny McCarthy? Jenna Elfman? -- we tried to break down exactly what some of these people were doing all the way over in Bracciano, so far away from home. It should make for some awkward moments during the dinner hour.

Several of the guests -- John Travolta, Elfman and her husband Bodhi, and Leah Remini -- are members of the Scientology tribe, so that makes sense. But what about J. Lo? It turns out that Lopez and Remini are close pals ... and remember that Remini was the first celeb to cop to a Suri sighting, so we know she's in the inner circle.

Now we're pretty sure that Jenny McCarthy and TomKat haven't worked together on anything recently, but J-Mac's squeeze, Jim Carrey, used to go out with Renee Zellweger, who, of course, was Cruise's co-star in "Jerry Maguire." No word from Carrey's rep on whether this rather tenuous connection is the precise reason for his attendance.

Perhaps J.Lo's husband Anthony said it best in a toast he reportedly gave last night in the bar at the wedding hotel in Rome: "To life, to the occasion, and to new friends." Or, as the case may be, complete strangers.

3. I think it's fantastic, Tom is a romantic to the ninth degree, and he and his Scientology group know how to throw a celebration! A castle in Italy....wow.
Tom and Katie: Congrats and many happy years together.

5. I think the TomKats just wanted to float as many celeb names out over the entertainment media as possible, so as to make it seem A List people actually want to come be part of the gigantic spectacle, instead of all the has-beens, fellow cult members and B & C listers.

Perhaps no one who might actually get more attention than TomCat was even invited. Oprah, anyone?

6. I take it back... Will Smith is not a has been or B lister, unlike the others in Rome for the spectacle.

7. Get a clue, Mimi! Will Smith & Marc Anthony has-beens? I don't think so. Sounds like sour grapes to me. And really, why would he invite Oprah, when she dissed him & his relationship to Diane Sawyer? He surely must have noticed that, I would have.

8. am i the only person who wondered why tom and katies little girl wasnt crying and didnt even pick her head up to look at all of the flashing lights and photographers?

9. "irishk" I was thinking the same thing when I saw that clip! Another thing I thought was really really sad is what a hideous frenzy for this poor kid. I mean they don't take the thing out at home in L.A. so she's even remotely used to people and the outside world. Then they whore her at this media spectacle. What's PATHETIC is the excuse they gave to the media was $cientology teaches that babies shouldn't be exposed to loud noises, and basically a lot of commotion. What a crock of SHIT, they didn't take her out becuase they didn't get the price they wanted for her pics The whole thing is just disgusting, they are just WRONG, there aint NUTHIN' right about these two

10. This whole thing is getting a little old. For god's sake, theres a war going on, children homeless in the world, people going hungry this holiday season, and this is all people wanna talk about. I find it just discusting that the skinny b****h spent 3 grand on underware. For the love of everything holy in this world, go to wal-mart and buy your underware there like the rest of the free world.

11. Walmart has underwear?! NOW THAT'S NEWS!!! You're right though Beth, there is a lot of crap going on in the world. For me, I just like seeing this beautiful couple find some happiness in their lives, despite the crap they've had to put up with, Tom always seems to come out on top and that, to me is cool.

12. This is my first time responding in regards to this media circus and the only reason I am is because you cant come to TMZ without finding a new story about it heading the page. Overload or very slow news day? The only good thing about seeing so many stories on this is that there's fewer bits about K-Fed to have to pass over. C'mon TMZ, there has to be more going on in the entertainment world this week than this wedding.

13. This whole thing just creeps me out. I can't wait until it blows over....or Katie escapes or something!

14. This wedding is a bit over the top and sacreligious in whaat they seem to be celebrating. I have noticed that Tom had forbid Nicole to have any access to their shared adopted children if there was any alcohol or drug use by Keith Urban, on basis that it would be immoral. However, he seems to have no problem being the custodial parent, having them live in the same home that he shared with a woman he was not married to, and their illegitimate child. Now, that seems way more immoral on the part of the adoptive parent. Thank God the Catholic church is refusing to recognize the marriage. The rest of the world seems so mesmerized with the wedding, and the cost of everything, that they are busy kissing up. Ridiculous!!

Tom may LOOK like he is "on top", but all is not what it seems.

15. UUUUHHH, BETH you seriously need to shut your cake hole. Do you realize how fucking ridiculous it is for you to come on a gossip site and rant on about the war and tell people what they should be doing, you idiot. Wanna talk about the war? Find a war forum. Wanna bash Tom C & HIs Sham Wedding? Come to TMZ
