TOM CRUISE was "sane, sensible and sensitive" when he accepted his award
from BAFTA last week at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. He was humble in his
acceptance speech, but somber when he came to emphasizing the importance
of an actor's words on world consciousness. One assumes he meant both his
on-screen words and his real-life expressed beliefs. In typical fashion Tom (and
Katie Holmes) stopped outside the hotel and gave dozens of autographs to
fans and posed without incident for the paparazzi. This man knows how to
behave like a star. Miss Holmes looked a bit dazed by the furor, but gamely
clutched her guy.

Dress Address ~ 11/18/05
Oh, one more torturous little twosome item...You don't mind, right? I've heard from Camp Tom Cruise—
hardly officially, either, trust me--that Katie Holmes is expected (as expected) to be donning Armani
for her wedding gown.
That is if the tricky lovers ain't already married.
You heard me right.
Holmes Shopping Network ~ 11/17/05
I'm a little concerned. Let's say you've met the love of your life. Whee! You're pregnant. Yee! And you
love your stepkids so much you wouldn't ever miss a clean-cut photo-op soccer game. Yay! I mean, you
have love, and that's why you never even want to do your silly job again. Like, you aren't just happy,
you're on top of the couch!
Oops. I meant world. Really. I swear.
Yep, it's TomKat time. Saturday afternoon. My Bev Hills spy stepped out to do some savings-account
depletion at Neiman Marcus. She was roamin' through the contemporary section when she spotted a li'l
entourage: Three goons, some gal and a little Miss Katie Holmes. Yowza! But hold that high squeal.
"She looked very blah," says my eye-witty witness. "Tired. No pregnant glow and no makeup."
Dear me, could the thrill of life in the Tom Cruise machine be wearing off? (Remember, this is the very
same down-and-out mug my San Fran Desk reported last week.) Or wait! I know what could be the
matter! Perhaps her, ahem, hormones are kicking in.
Actually, though, Dr. Casablanca will keep his damn diagnosis to himself. Because unlike some dudes, I
understand that pregnancy ain't my area of expertise.
Shopping, on the other manicured hand, is. So, here goes. Kate started, as I said earlier, in the more
modern gal's area of the matron-lovin' store. She picked up four or five bags of goodies and handed off
packages to the goons, who did the relay to the car. And then it was time to hit the department store's
très posh Prada boutique. Strangeness ensued:
• Call Me Kate: I will always think of this gal as Katie. Doesn't she just look like a Katie, like one of
those girls whose names has to end on a squeaky note? Well, apparently I'll be alone in that boat. Both
said friend (seemed really more of an advisor type) and the big dudes called Katie Kate. She answered.
Sadness.
• A Yes-Girl: Now, if there's one place to be bold 'n' bitchy, it's Neiman's. Who wants to throw down six
grand on a purse they're never gonna use? Not me, certainly. But Kate obeyed every style suggestion
made by this friend. She let go of her opinions as if they were as flimsy as engagements to Chris Klein.
Further sadness.
Now, I'm gonna just let my Neiman's pal take this last one all by herself. Here goes: "I spoke with the
sales associate," confided my newest member of Desk Bev Hills, "who said that when [Katie's friend] paid
for the stuff--I'm not sure if she paid for everything--her checks were labeled 'L. Ron Hubbard Church of
Scientology.' "
Uh, how much would you like to get a look at the ledger in that checkbook? I know, honeys. Me too.

TOM & KATIE
Back in April, new couple Tom Cruise, 43, and Katie Holmes, 26, couldn't keep their hands off each other.
Now engaged and expecting their first child together, the twosome have traded sweeping gestures for
quiet romantic moments, like this summer smooch on the set of Cruise's Mission: Impossible 3 in Rome.

Tom Buys Katie a $20M Jet
Tom Cruise is giving his pregnant fiancee Katie Holmes an incredible $20 million wedding present - her
own jet plane! In one of the most outrageously expensive gestures of love in Hollywood history, sources
say the "War of the Worlds" star has ordered a customized Gulfstream for the Dawson Creek cutie.
According to the insider, Tom - who has just headed off to Shanghai for work on "Mission: Impossible"- is
buying the jet because he wants Katie and her entourage to be able to travel in comfort and style when
she visits him on location or her parents in Ohio. 'Katie is very close to her family in Toledo, and she and
Tom have bought a house there, explained the insider. ' Now she can just hop on her private plane and
go there whenever she wants - no advance planning, no executives jet rental, no waiting at airports. The
plane is amazing- inside it looks like a posh penthouse apartment with seating for 13 people, sleeping
areas and gourmet food service.
Fast fact: Tom Cruise can afford to be generous- the star's personal fortune is estimated at $550M."
