Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes to Sue?

By: Shannon Gossage

Just two days ago it was reported that Cruise and Holmes had called off their engagement, but "plan to keep up the charade of a romance" until after their baby is born. An hour after the rumor broke Cruise’s publicist, Arnold Robinson, was already slamming the reports and said in a statement, "It should be known that the story is 100 percent false. Mr. Cruise and Ms. Holmes are still engaged and are moving forward with their wedding plans, as well as planning for the arrival of their child."

Cruise’s attorney, Bert Fields, said, "This is a disgusting and malicious story. It is unequivocally false and I have already demanded a retraction… I will be sitting down with Tom in the next couple of days to discuss this story, and ultimately it’s his call as to whether we bring a lawsuit. But if it was up to me, I would sue." Sue over what? A story? How many celebrities deal with false tabloid reports? Sure, it must be annoying but to sue everyone who says anything negative about you? Come on, Tom!

The source that leaked the story to the tabloid said, "Tom can’t let on yet that it’s over. That’s not his way of doing things. So right now they’re together but not together. It’s a really weird situation and unhealthy for both of them." The story reports that the couple will continue to live with one another, but in separate bedrooms, until after the baby is born. Why the alleged split? According to the chatty source, "Tom and Katie feel they don’t have enough in common. Family differences, religious issues – they just have too much to overcome." Maybe they would’ve figured that out if their courtship had been longer than the length of a fruit fly’s lifespan.
