Katie Holmes finds Tom Cruise is "Mission: Impossible"

LOS ANGELES: Actress Katie Holmes has filed for divorce from her superstar husband Tom Cruise, ending a six-year marriage that produced one daughter and captivated celebrity watchers worldwide.

Holmes filed papers in New York City on Thursday, citing irreconcilable differences and seeking sole custody of the couple's six-year-old daughter Suri in a move that came "out of the blue" for the "Mission: Impossible" actor, said one source with knowledge of the situation.

The source said Cruise is out of the country filming a movie in Iceland and the filing came as a surprise.

The actor's spokeswoman issued a brief statement, saying: "Kate has filed for divorce and Tom is deeply saddened and is concentrating on his three children. Please allow them their privacy to work this out." No further comment was made

Los Angeles-based attorney Bert Fields, who has represented Cruise in other matters but is not handling the divorce, confirmed the filing but declined to give further details.

"Tom wants to be very private," Fields said.

Earlier on Friday, People magazine quoted Holmes' attorney Jonathan Wolfe as calling it "a personal and private matter for Katie and her family ... Katie's primary concern remains, as it always has been, her daughter's best interest."

The couple's marriage, which began at an elaborate, Italian castle wedding in November 2006, has been closely followed by the celebrity press ever since the pair, dubbed TomKat, began dating in 2005.

At the time, Holmes, now 33, was a rising star and Hollywood ingénue who found fame on TV's "Dawson's Creek" and earned her acting chops in independent films such as "Pieces of April."

Cruise, 16 years her senior, was among Hollywood's highest paid stars who enjoyed a string of box office blockbusters in action flicks ranging from 1986's "Top Gun" to his "Mission: Impossible" movies that began in 1996 and continue today.

He proposed to Holmes atop the Eiffel Tower in Paris and famously went on Oprah Winfrey's talk show, jumped on her couch and shouted out his love for Holmes in front of a TV audience of millions.

Cruise, a practitioner of Scientology, was previously married to actress Mimi Rogers and actress Nicole Kidman, with whom he has two children.

Katie Holmes joins dance classes!

Katie Holmes, the Hollywood diva, has decided to take a leap into dancing and learn some traits of staying in shape by performing consistent workouts. Wife of Tom Cruise is looking to stay young and give competition to other new Hollywood talents. It will be interesting to see the heartthrob of millions in the world staying as it is forever.

While some celebrities cannot bear to step out in public without their make-up on, Katie Holmes proves that she can. The 33-year-old star was spotted arriving at a dance class in Hollywood yesterday and didn’t dress up for the cameras. Showing off her bare but flawless complexion, Holmes certainly looked younger than her age.
The actress was wearing her black leotard that was visible underneath the stripey off-the-shoulder jumper she wore which she teamed with a pair of bootcut jeans. The mother-of-one wore her long dark hair in a loose wave and carried a large pink notebook and a bottle of water – no doubt to keep her hydrated during her session.

When the Batman Begins star later emerged, she had tied her long hair back after working up a sweat, and was grinning from ear to ear. She has obviously put the bad reviews of her latest movie far behind her and is  attempting to focus on her future career. Jack and Jill, the new Adam Sandler comedy, was released in November last year and has been slated by critics.

Katie plays Sandler’s wife Erin in the film, which also stars Al Pacino and David Spade, but no doubt it’s a role that she would rather forget about now. Perhaps the actress has taken up the dancing class in order to pass the time, as she currently has no upcoming films in the pipeline and with her five-year-old daughter Suri at school, her days must be rather quiet.

Tom Cruise 'steals wife Katie Holmes' make-up' to look youthful

Hollywood hunk Tom Cruise has been raiding wife Katie Holmes' beauty and make-up supplies in a bid to remain looking youthful.

"Tom is in major midlife crisis mode," the Daily Telegraph quoted a source as telling American tabloid the National Enquirer.

"He's freaking out over the new lines on his face, the grey hairs on his head and on his face when he shaves.

"He has started applying Katie's high-priced facial creams, cleansers and even her make-up - and he loves the results!

"He even slathers on Katie's foundation before public events and lightly applies her mascara to make his eyelashes look fuller.

"Tom is incredibly vain, and he's willing to go to great lengths to look good next to his younger costars.

"Katie is horrified that Tom has resorted to raiding her beauty supplies," the source added.

I’m Not Pregnant

Despite the fact that Life & Style is reporting that she has a baby on the way, Katie Holmes is definitely not pregnant.

The tabloid deliberately makes it seem like the “Dawson’s Creek” darling has a bun in the oven, but in the actual article, Holmes makes no mention of being preggers.

Life & Style erroneously states, “A glowing Katie opens up about her joy of being a mom. She can’t stop touching her bump and has cravings for ice cream.”

But in reality, the “bump” refers to an acting gig she’s been busy with as of late- playing a pregnant Jackie Kennedy. Katie’s rep emphatically stated to Gossip Cop, “She’s not pregnant.”

Sexy In Santa Monica

Taking care of some business, Katie Holmes was spotted out and about in Santa Monica, California on May 18.

The “Dawson’s Creek” darling was looking cute in casual in a plaid button-up shirt with cuffed jeans as she headed into a studio.

The night before, Kate and her husband Tom Cruise were spotted at a ceremony to honor Jerry Bruckheimer at Grauman’s Chinese Theater.

Mingling with Nicolas Cage, Billy Bob Thornton, and Eddie Murphy, TomKat left afterwards and went to the SoHo House for dinner.
