W Magazine’s website has Katie's interview and a Photo Gallery with Katie’s upcoming cover and two extra pictures.
Holmes Sweet Holmes
She’s landed the role of a lifetime- beautiful bride of the
world’s biggest movie star. What’s so weird about that?
The statistics on arranged marriage are surprising. In every country where it is still
common practice, including Afghanistan, India, Iraq, Iran and, to a lesser extent,
Japan, an arranged marriage has a higher success rate than a so-called "love
marriage."
It's impossible to say what this augurs for Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise. Of
course, theirs isn't an arranged marriage—though it was certainly arranged
quickly. The awesomely public couple had all of six weeks, during much of which
Holmes was on the Batman Begins junket, to decide that they loved each other,
that they wanted to spend their lives together and that they would buck Hollywood
convention, to say nothing of common sense, and sing their joy from the
mountaintops (or from flashbulb-blitzed press conferences, red carpets and vastly
popular TV talk shows). Arranged marriages are measured, often solemn affairs;
the fist-pumping pomp of the Cruise-Holmes union is another story. And the more
times Holmes tells it, the stranger it sounds.

Note: We believe the W article has one inaccurate statement. Katie has never announced that she has converted to Scientology. So far all she has said is that she is taking lessons in the Church of Scientology (not converting).
