Tom bought Katie her own $20million private jet - Nov 22, 2020
Tom Cruise has purportedly bought his fiancee Katie Holmes her own $20million private jet as a wedding present. The Hollywood heavyweight is said to be so keen for the pregnant beauty to share his love of flying he has splashed out on a customised Gulfstream jet for her.
A source close to the actor revealed to America’s National Enquirer magazine: "Tom wanted to come up with the most amazing wedding gift ever, something that would make her life so much better than a big diamond on her finger."
Meanwhile, it has been revealed Katie is planning to give up her Hollywood career to become a full time mum and housewife. The ’Batman Begins’ actress, who is reportedly to wed Cruise in a Christmas ceremony, has put on her career on ice to concentrate on being the perfect wife.
Tom Cruise has got rid of his sister - Nov 08, 2020
Tom Cruise has got rid of his sister as his publicist, after a summer of negative publicity. The Hollywood actor has replaced Lee Anne DeVette with veteran Hollywood PR guru Paul Bloch, who has previously represented Bruce Willis and Sylvester Stallone. Tom said of his sister, who will now just handle his charity work: "Lee Anne has done a wonderful job."
However, insiders claim the past year has been a "PR disaster" for the handsome star. First, he was criticised over his romance with pregnant fianc?e Katie Holmes, with some people suggesting it was nothing more than a publicity stunt to promote his movie ’War of the Worlds’. Then, Tom was slated for airing his views about psychiatry and publicly slamming actress Brooke Shields for using prescription drugs to battle post-natal depression.
However, it has not all been bad news for the actor - as well as expecting a baby with Katie, he recently received an award for becoming the biggest ever donor to the Church of Scientology. The star, a devout follower of the controversial sect, was presented with the Diamond Meritorious Award for donating a staggering ?2million to the organisation. Katie joined him as he collected the accolade at a Scientology gala at the cult’s UK headquarters in East Grinstead, where the couple were given a standing ovation from the crowd, which included ’Pulp Fiction’ star John Travolta and his wife, Kelly Preston.
Tom has organised a free wedding dress - Oct 17, 2020
Tom Cruise has reportedly organised a free wedding dress for pregnant fiancee Katie Holmes - despite being one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood. The wealthy star allegedly asked designer pal Giorgio Armani to create a vintage satin gown for Katie instead of splashing out on a store-bought frock.
A friend told The Sun newspaper "Tom asked Giorgio to design the dress especially and he has had Katie in for several fittings. "It’s unusual for the groom to have a say in the dress but he has had a lot of input. It seems Tom has a very clear idea of what he wants for the ceremony."

Born in Syracuse Tom grew up in relative poverty following his father’s departure from the family, the actor has since claimed that he suffered abuse before the split. While Thomas III refused to pay child support, Tom’s mother Mary Lee Pfieffer moved her son from city to city, eventually settling in New Jersey where Tom, who once aspired to become a Catholic priest, then a Wrestler, took up acting. His first role was as lead in a High School production of Guys and Dolls.
1981 saw Tom take his first acting role, alongside Brooke Shields in Endless Love. He followed this up with increasingly important roles before in 1983 appearing in Risky Business, the underpanted lip syncing scene of which brought him to the attention of movie goers worldwide as well as to Director Jerry Bruckheimer who asked Tom to star in his next project. Rumour has it that the actor turned down the role of fighter pilot Maverick in Top Gun but in 1986 there he was on our screens, ready to become a cinematic icon.
As the 80s rolled on The Colour of Money, Cocktail and Rain Man ensured Tom’s place at the top of the Hollywood A list, taking him in to the nineties able to demand huge pay cheques for his work and earning him Academy Award nominations (for Born on the Fourth of July). In 1990 he met Australian actress Nicole Kidman on the set of Days of Thunder who he would soon work with again on the less successful Far and Away. Fresh from his divorce from Mimi Rogers, whom he had married just three years earlier, Tom whisked Nicole up the aisle before embarking on a roll call of more ’serious’ film work from The Firm to A Few Good Men and Interview With The Vampire.
1996 proved a successful year for Tom. He began a long relationship with the Mission:Impossible franchise and earned himself another Oscar nomination for the unforgettable Bruckheimer release Jerry Maguire. But this time seemed to mark a turning point for America’s most personable lead man. In 1999 he and Nicole took on the bizarre and controversial Kubrick movie Eyes Wide Shut which he closely followed with the Oscar nominated Magnolia which saw a further move away from his usual ’arrogant nice guy’ roles.
In 2001 the Cruise/Kidman van screeched to an unexpected halt. The couple, who had two adopted children - Isabella and Connor - were divorced just before their tenth wedding anniversary. Nicole, three months pregnant, later miscarried. Tom was soon in love again, this time with Vanilla Sky co-star Penelope Cruz with whom he was linked until 2004. He continued to create box office successes, from a second Mission Impossible movie to Collateral and Minority Report.
Following his split from Penelope Tom became ever more vocal about his beliefs as a Scientologist. The controversial religion was expected to affect his 2005 outing, War of the Worlds, however whilst the film still managed to net millions, Tom’s religious ramblings coupled with his unexpected relationship with Dawson’s Creek and Batman Begins actress Katie Holmes, sixteen years his junior, saw his own popularity wane.
Tom’s pro-Scientology and anti-psychiatry comments, a very public battle with Brooke Shields and some truly over the top, overacted protestations of love signalled the end of Tom’s relationship with Paramount pictures with whom he had worked as a Producer. Paramount weren’t the only ones to go off the actor either. The newspapers and magazines who not so long ago loved him and his movies turned against him, branding him a laughing stock and turning up the volume on the gay rumours which have plagued Cruise for so many years.
Tom and Katie carried out their fast forward relationship under the glare of the press - first bringing baby daughter Suri in to the world in April 2006 just a year after they first met, then marrying in November of the same year.
