Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are pictured here at Germany’s Bambi Awards. That’s Germany’s equivalent of the Oscars - more or less. Tom was presented with the ‘courage’ award. Courage? Courage for what? Just curious.

When he was presented with the award he talked and talked and talked and talked. He’s sure everyone is as enthralled with him as he is. They weren’t. The audience looked bored and embarrassed for him. Not one to notice that people aren’t that interested in his every thought, he kept prattling on.

Well, on to more important things … how do you like Katie’s new look? I think she looks much more polished, but I’m not sure that’s a good thing. I mean, her make-up and hair are flawless but she doesn’t look at all natural. Also, her tummy is poking out - is she preggers? I always feel sorry for her that she had to slump over when she’s around Tom. That may be why her stomach is poking out, from her slumping.

I’m sure she doesn’t mind if she ends up permanently hunched over from years of having to stand like that. After all, Tom is very tall when he stands on his wallet.

What’s a girl to do when she’s had the lead role in a Hollywood movie, One Night with the King, in which she plays Hadassah, a Jewish girl who becomes Esther, Queen of Persia and who has a reputation as a ‘nice girl’. She even had a write-up in Christianity Today.

Well, the only thing to do is to spice your career up a bit. Email Perez Hilton and tell him you’ve been doing the nasty with Tom Cruise and George Clooney.

“Hello Perez My name is Tiffany Dupont from the movie Queen Esther. I want to let you know a little secret that I don’t care to keep anymore. I actually slept with Tom Cruise and George Clooney. I had sex with both of them this past year. The way I did it was that I actually offered myself to them when I got a chance to meet them hoping that would boost my acting career. If you want to contact them you can, but like most Hollywood actors they’ll all deny it. I’ve done other shows like the Bedford Diaries and such. My website address is http://tiffany-dupont.com/welcome.shtml . If you want to contact me my number and address is xxxxxxx
Tiffany Dupont
God Bless”

Today’s mystery is something I’ve been wondering for a while now. Where are Isabella and Connor Cruise? I realized today that I wasn’t the only one wondering that when I saw a story asking the same question at E!Online.

We see pictures of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes with little Suri just about every time we turn around. We see pictures of Nicole Kidman with Keith Urban. But we don’t see the kids.

Every since Suri has been here we don’t see any more photos of Tom and Katie with Isabella and Connor to show the world what a happy family Tom has.

Really. Where are they?

Katie Holmes ran and finished the NYC marathon today - with Tom and Suri at the finish line to greet her. She looks the best she’s looked since she hooked up with her psychotic husband.

I’m thinking that maybe the reason Katie Holmes is standing there in such an odd stance is because her dress is about to fall off. Is that dress just horrible or what? I mean, aside form the fact that it looks like its several sizes too big and there is absolutely NOTHING holding it onto her body, the dress makes her look huge. It looks like something out of a 1950s prom night. Carrie, maybe?

Then again, it could be whatever she’s on that has her standing like she’s barely standing with that out-of-focus look in her eyes. Its like she’s thinking - help me. help me. I can’t say for sure though, of course. I’m just guessing.

Wait a minute. I’m supposed to tell you where they are and what they are doing. They are somewhere having their pictures taken. Oh yeah, I remember, they’re at the Berlin premiere of Lions for Lambs.

GAWD - that dress!

Suri Cruise is cute as a button. I think she favors Katie a lot. She’s featured on the cover of US Weekly this week with an article on her Scientology upbringing. Apparently, L. Ron Hubbard advocated parents being ‘friends’ rather than disciplinarians.

According to the blurb from the article, Tom doesn’t like being around people who aren’t Scientologists so everyone in the household, including her nannies are Scientologists. She should be pretty well indoctrinated by the time she’s a teenager.

To top that off, Tom and Katie just hate saying ‘no’ to the little darlin’. So she gets whatever she wants.

Suri pretty much does whatever she wants, whenever she wants. If she fusses before bed, they let her stay up later. If they want her to go swimming and she cries, they’ll take her out. If she whines about food, they’ll ask her what else she wants to eat. They always want to please her.

That’s a recipe for a very spoiled child. *cough*Britney Spears*cough* If they can’t say ‘no’ to her now, what are they going to do when she’s a teenager and wants to do whatever she wants? If you discipline them when they are young you have better control of them when they are older and harder to control. That’s my theory anyway.

It could work though. I guess time will tell.

From Jeanette’s Celebrity Corner

Katie Holmes and daughter Suri Cruise spent some just-us-girls time together in Paris on Thursday. At some point Katie fell and scraped her knee. They went back to the hotel to clean up and change clothes. On the way back to the hotel, Suri napped on her mama’s shoulder.

You have to admit, these are really cute mother/daughter photos, especially since Crazy Tom wasn’t around.

While they were out they went to the Louvre Museum and Avenue Montaigne. They also made stops at Fendi and Lanvin.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are considering doing a sexy nude photo shoot similar to their new best friends the Beckham’s sizzlin’ hot photo shoot for W magazine.

SAWF reports:

Australia’s New Weekly magazine reports, a friend of the couple told, “They have already started planning some of the photos. One suggestion they were keen on was a shot of them posing together in the shower, dripping wet and covered by nothing but steam.

Cruise and Holmes, 28, have so far kept a wholesome family image in Hollywood but they also want to show off a more sensual side of their relationship.

“Tom and Katie really have amazing chemistry,” says the pal. “They want to show the world how much.”

I’m really glad they have chemistry and want the world to see it. Yeah, that’s important for us all to know that (/sarcasm). But there is something about this that is just bugging me and I can’t quite put my finger on what it is.

OH - I know what it is that’s giving me the creeps about this story. Tom naked.

More on Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes

There are some celebrities that are simply over-rated. For some reason, they are given much more status and attention than they deserve. Although some are good actors and/or have done good things, they aren’t THAT good. What do you think?

1. Brad Pitt
Okay, he’s cute, but really - he isn’t THAT smart. He’s got himself hooked up with a woman who very publicly tongue kissed her own brother and who used to wear a vial of her lover’s blood around her neck. She was also into cutting herself.

2. Angelina Jolie
She’s got a good publicist, that’s for sure. She’s depicted in the press as something akin to Mother Teresa. It seems everyone has forgotten that she is the one who did the things mentioned in #1 above.

3. Britney Spears
She’s not that good a singer.

4. Paris Hilton
Supposedly she’s a changed woman. It’s not happening so far. We’ll see.

5. Nick Lachey
What is it that makes him famous? I don’t get it. If it hadn’t been for the reality show with Jessica Simpson, most people would have no clue who he is.

6. Tom Cruise
Enough is enough. This guy’s a kook. Sure, he’s a good actor, but there are thousands of good actors.

7. Rosie O’Donnell
So she’s gay and she’s angry about everything. She may be categorized as a commedian, but she’s anything but funny.

8. Lindsay Lohan
She was a cute kid, but she’s a pitiful adult.

9. Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen
Again, they were cute kids, but they’re abysmal adults.

10. Meg Ryan
Plastic surgery run amok. She is a caricature of her former self. The Meg we used to love is no more.

11. Tara Reid
Remind me now. . . WHY is she famous?

12. Oprah Winfrey
She’s a smart lady and she does a lot of good things, but come on, folks, she isn’t GOD! Some of the books she has recommended (I Feel Bad About My Neck, for example) are boring crap.

13. Michael Jackson
Yes, he’s had some phenomenal success as a singer and songwriter. However, he is seriously screwed-up.

World War II German War hero, Col. Claus von Strauffenberg and his co-conspirators, the German resistance, were executed for their attempt to assassinate Hitler. His son is none too happy that Tom Cruise is going to play his father in a movie now in production in Germany. Berliners aren’t happy about it either.

He’s doing the movie anyway. Apparently, the arguments of the Germans fell on deaf ears. Their objections didn’t even cause a second’s delay in getting into production. It is currently in production in Germany and due to be released in 2008.

Here are the promotional photos that were released this week.
