E! News: Tom and Katie's Coming-Out Party Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes traded an Italian castle for the Beverly Hills variety Saturday night, as the newlyweds were feted by some of the most powerful players in show biz at the home of Cruise's longtime producing partner, Paula Wagner, and her husband, Rick Nicita. Police cordoned off the area around the home in the early evening, threatening the dozens of reporters and video and still photographers with citations if they clogged the streets. Guests started arriving around 6 p.m., with Mr. and Mrs. Cruise, along with daughter Suri, arriving in a three-vehicle armada of tinted-out black SUVs around 6:40 p.m. Cruise's two children with Nicole Kidman, Connor and Isabella, arrived separately in a Bentley. (The entire family spent the earlier part of the day watching the older kids play soccer in L.A.) Ostensibly, the party was a celebration for those who couldn't make it to Rome for the couple's Nov. 18 nuptials and a who's-who of Hollywood royalty descended upon the affair in style. Steven Spielberg and Cate Capshaw pulled up in a Bentley, Oliver Stone arrived in a silver Porsche and Orlando Bloom kept it on the down low, driving himself in a yellow VW Bug. Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, who were at the Bracciano, Italy, wedding, turned up for Saturday's soiree in a Rolls Royce. Others spotted arriving chez Wagner included Cruise's ex, Penéope Cruz, James Van Der Beek, Derek Luke (Katie’s costar in Pieces of April Catherine Bell, Diane Sawyer, Larry King, Brian Grazer, former Paramount studio boss Sherry Lansing, Variety's eminence grise Army Archerd, and Last Samurai director Ed Zwick and producer Marshall Herskovitz. ), ============== Thanks CelebrityPuke.com, KatieHolmes.com and Ivan for the heads-up!

Planet Gossip: Inside TomKat's Hollywood Wedding Party For friends and family who didn't make it to Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' wedding in Italy, it didn't really matter on Saturday night. The newlyweds celebrated their nuptials with a star-studded party at the Los Angeles home of Cruise's business partner, Paula Wagner, and her husband, CAA agent Rick Nicita. The affair began at about 6 p.m. Light appetizers were passed at the start of the evening, with heavier fare like short ribs served as more of the 300 or so guests filed into the bash, including Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, Steven Spielberg and Kate Capshaw, Orlando Bloom, Penélope Cruz and even up-and-comer Derek Luke. Sisal rug was laid in the backyard, and three tents were erected to protect well-wishers from the night's rainfall. Table centerpieces featured cream roses, peonies and amaryllis in smoke-mirrored glass boxes. A chandelier of 50,000 Swarovski crystals decorated the center tent. An insider told me the cost of the evening was estimated to be about $400,000. A jazz trio performed throughout the night. "It wasn't the kind of party with dancing," one partygoer said. "It was more of an elegant cocktail party for socializing." I'm told event planner Damon Pease and Ikus Productions coordinated on the party, which lasted until about 1 a.m. Holmes wore a simple pale pink dress, and Cruise was in a dark suit, the partygoer said. Inside Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes's Post-Wedding Party Back from their Maldives honeymoon, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes held a post-wedding bash Saturday night at the Los Angeles home of Cruise's producing partner, Paula Wagner, on Saturday. But the first order of the day was a trip to Cruise's daughter Bella's soccer game, where Cruise's sister Cass, mom Mary and Holmes's parents – all in town for the party – laughed and kicked the ball around at half-time (Mary even showed off some fancy footwork). In the evening, it was off to Wagner's home, although Holmes's family stopped for appetizers at the Beverly Hills Hotel's Polo Lounge on their way. At the party, they joined guests including Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, Brooke Shields, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith – all of whom made it to the couple's Italian wedding – as well as Steven Spielberg, Jerry Bruckheimer, Orlando Bloom, Dakota Fanning and Cruise's pre-Holmes girlfriend, Penelope Cruz. Said one guest, "Tom seemed really proud, parading Katie around his guests." Any tension with his ex? No way! "There was so much love in the air that it seemed like a family reunion." As Fanning, Cruise's costar in last year's Spielberg-directed War of the Worlds, told PEOPLE Sunday at the premiere of her movie Charlotte's Web, "They were really happy. It was a fun party, it was great." |
