Katie Holmes: Pregnant?

Katie Holmes has sparked rumours and mutterings that she may be expecting her second child with Tom Cruise.

The former Dawson's Creek actress was snapped wearing loose-fitting clothing to hide what appeared to be a baby bump, according to reports.

“Katie looked glowing and happy and kept placing a protective hand over her stomach," a source told New magazine. "Even though she was trying to keep it covered, you could definitely see the beginnings of a bump.”

The couple have previously stated that they were very keen to have a brother or sister for their two-year-old daughter Suri.

Katie Holmes' TV return

Katie Holmes is returning to her TV roots to play a singing attorney in hit US TV show 'Eli Stone'.

Katie Holmes is returning to her TV roots to play a singing attorney.

The 'Mad Money' actress, who rose to fame playing Joey Potter in hit US show 'Dawson's Creek', will make her small screen comeback with an appearance in 'Eli Stone'.

The programme's executive producer Greg Berlanti, who previously worked with Katie on 'Dawson's Creek', asked the actress to take the role as he knew it would help to boost ratings.

Greg said: "I begged her and she said, 'I'd love to.' "

He revealed Katie's lawyer character will appear in the episode "a significant amount".

Katie will also show off her vocal talents and dance moves.

Steve McPherson - president of ABC, the US TV network that airs 'Eli Stone' - said: "There's actually some singing and dancing she does and she's exquisite. I saw her do a read-through and she was fabulous."

Katie began shooting the episode yesterday (16.07.08), and the programme's main star Jonny Lee Miller is delighted to be working with the actress.

He told America's OK! magazine: "It's really going to help us, apart from the fact that she's extremely hard working and really, really nice person to have around the set.

"We did 17 hours yesterday, most of her time was spent dancing and then we had a big long scene to do and she did not bat an eyelid."

The episode is due to be broadcast in October.

It was previously claimed Katie's husband Tom Cruise was set to make a guest appearance on the series, after he was seen visiting the set with Katie and their two-year-old daughter Suri.

Victoria Beckham desperate to be more than a WAG

Run for cover people as Victoria Beckham has got the grumps. Why? Because of David's foray into facial fuzz? Nope. Cos she's just realised she has absolutely zero discernable talent? No (but it should be). Rather, pouty Posh is annoyed that America hasn't fallen for her charms yet and that she's still better known for her husband's fame and glory. Just like here in the UK, then.

Talking to Closer magazine, a friend of the star revealed: "She can't bear being known as someone's wife and she hates the WAG label. She's getting offered the same TV work as Paris Hilton when she wants to be on a level with her pal Kate Beckinsale - but she just isn't an actress. Posh doesn't feel she's seen as a credible fashion icon yet. She's also disappointed that the TV work she is offered is always to play herself or someone similar to herself."

That's what happens when you’re not an actress – you don’t get offered top acting roles. Funny that.

Posh is also said to be feeling her age and bans anyone from mentioning her 34th birthday which she celebrated with showbiz chums recently. Which we just did. Sorry Posh. But don’t worry, being so incredibly geriatric and past-it at the crinkly age of 34 you won’t be able to read for much longer and probably can't take to this fancy, new Interweb thing anyway.

Posh celebrates birthday with showbiz chums

And so a big Star Trip happy birthday for Victoria Beckham, who hit the grand old age of 34 yesterday. And how did the Spice Girl celebrate the big day? By getting drunk with her celebrity husband and celebrity mates all in a grand celebrity setting, of course. Ahh - she's just like you and me, isn’t she folks?

Vicky B and her hubby, some past-it footie player you might have heard of, enjoyed a meal out with her current favourite chum, actress (I say actress, but having watched her in Van Helsing, I beg to differ) Kate Beckinsale and her director husband Len Wiseman. Desperate Housewives strumpet Eva Longoria Parker was also part of the celebrations, fitting considering it all went down at her fancy LA restaurant Beso.

An onlooker commented in The Mirror: "After lots of champagne, they stumbled out and went back to the Beckham's Beverly Hills mansion and partied till 3am."

Notable by their absence were former best buddies Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. Maybe Katie was too busy fighting her way out of Tom's home security system to make it. Either that, or she's officially been replaced by another scrawny, Hollywood robot. Tough break Katie.

Is Katie Holmes separating from Tom Cruise?

Could there be trouble in paradise for TomKat? The American gossip press certainly seems to think so with both In Touch Weekly (pictured right), Star magazine and our very own Now magazine reporting that the Tom Cruise/ Katie Holmes romance is on the rocks, with a break imminent. Could we be about to witness another power couple split?

The gossip centres on Katie's frustrations at Tom's controlling behaviour, which is said to keep the young actress under surveillance at all times. Speaking to Now, a chum of Katie's revealed: “Because of his [Tom's] high profile, his children and his Scientology connections, Tom believes his family is vulnerable to potential kidnappers, stalkers and crazed fans. Katie will barely be able to move around her own home without being monitored by cameras and electrical devices. At home she would often go to a bedroom of her own and spend hours there with Suri.”

Cry it out honey, we've all hidden in the toilets when we've felt a case of the waterworks coming on, and it seems pretty understandable when made to feel like uncomfortable and spied on in your own home with your spending habits and phone calls strictly monitored. The source close to the Batman Begins star adds: “Now she says she’ll feel as though there is no escape from Tom’s controlling ways. You can escape the eyes of another person by going to a different part of the house. But [Katie] knows she can’t escape the roving eyes of the cameras that are constantly sweeping the house.”

It sounds more like a prison than a marriage, with talk suggesting that Katie plans to accept a role on Broadway just to escape the $1.3 million security system of Tom's fortress and live it up in the Big Apple. She is understood to be in final negotiations for a part in All My Sons and is hoping that a move to Manhattan could result in a trial separation, though unsurprisingly Tom has other ideas.

“She desperately needs to be on her own for a while, but there’s no way Tom is going to let her take Suri away,” another anonymous source told Star magazine. “There’s no way he’ll allow it. He just doesn’t want Katie — or Suri — out of his sight for long. He told her that if she goes to New York, fine, but he goes with her.” That kinda defeats the point of a separation Tom, jeez after two divorces already, I’d have thought you’d have gotten the hang of the break-up bit.

Of course, others are dismissing these reports, confirming that the pair is currently apart due to work commitments but are still very much in love, can't get enough of each other, blah, blah, blah.

Without wanting to endorse divorce or be flippant about the pain caused to all involved when a relationship breaks down, this union has always smelt a bit off. Whether it's been the Scientology brainwashing, the transformation of Katie Holmes from perky, pretty young thing into a scrawny Stepford wife or the icky way they desperately cram their love down your throats, it's never rung true. More like a show of love, rather than the real thing.

And if they were to split, it could be the best thing to happen to Katie's career. Just look at Nicole Kidman.

Tom worried that Katie is morphing in to Posh

Remember when Katie Holmes was better known for being 'Little Joey Potter' on Dawson's Creek? Back then she probably ate all her greens, never forgot her please's and thank you's and was generally a sweet, wholesome, chubby-cheeked poppet, remember? So does Star Trip. That's why we hate to see her gradually morphing into close chum Victoria Beckham. And so does hubby Tom Cruise apparently…

Just look at the pair of them together. The hair, the gaunt expression, the pathetic neediness for their more successful husbands. They could be the same shallow, stick-thin person. And this is not acceptable for Mr. Cruise.

"Katie sees Victoria as a role model," says a source close to the A-listers. "She copies Victoria's look and even cut her hair the same way. She is very thin largely because she is following Victoria's strict 900-calories-a-day eating plan. She is copying Victoria's fad of eating seaweed shakes, frozen grapes and edamame beans. She is tiny."

Come on Katie – snap out of it and go grab yourself some grub. We've long lost Posh to the dark side of no food, smiling or silliness – but not you too Katie. Surely Tom must be able to coax her into eating something, it's hardly Mission Impossible (ho ho – see what we did there?)

Hollywood's 'coolest' kids revealed

Hollywood's coolest kid? I kid you not. American magazine In Touch Weekly has ranked celebrity spawn and decided upon who is the 'coolest'. I have to confess, I'm a bit baffled by the notion of being deemed 'cool' when still not potty-trained. How could they have calculated such a thing? Did they ask take a poll in the playground and ask which kid has the best trainers and the most Panini football stickers? I don't think so. It's probably more an extension of their parents, a dash of designer togs and how much a photo shoot with OK! magazine is worth, but nevermind. Everyone likes to be thought of as cool, and so onto those impressive tots…

In at number five is Ava Phillippe – the daughter of Oscar-winner Reese Witherspoon and her ex-husband Ryan. The number four spot is taken by our very own Brooklyn Beckham – edging out his brothers Cruz and Romeo to make the coveted list. Helene 'Leni' Klum, the offspring of supermodel Heidi Klum and Formula One boss Flavio Briatore is in at number three and at number two, narrowly missing out on the top spot is Suri Cruise (pictured). I had thought that the Scientology sprog looked a little like a slanty-eyed alien, but what do I know? And the one kid that all these famous faces look up to – click over for the number one coolest celebrity kid.

And the winner is (drum roll please) – Kingston Rossdale. With rock hunk Gavin Rossdale and the peroxide diva Gwen Stefani as your parents, 21-month-old Kingston has hit the genetic jackpot. The kid is often seen decked out in boho-trendy garb and has been described by his proud mother as "a chilled-out little guy". Keep up the good work Kingston, you'll have competition for the top spot soon with a sibling on the way.

The Top Five Fashionistas of 2007

We all have our own personal style icons, from Katherine Hepburn to Nicole Richie, there is always a look that someone can take inspiration from. Here I am going to count down my five favourite fashion moments from 2007, from my five favourite fashionistas of the year.

Number one: Dita Von Teese

Although she makes her living by taking her clothes off, no-one can deny that Dita shines on the red carpet. She always manages to look classic and elegant with that slightly gothic edge. On November 15^th when she attended the fashion industry’s battle against HIV/AIDS at the ‘7^th on Sale’ gala, she looked incredible in this black and gold Marchesa evening gown.

Number Two:  Gwen Stefani

From her time fronting the ska-fused No Doubt to her Alice in Wonderland themed solo debut, Gwen has always got people talking about her fashion choices. Over the last few years she really has come into her own as a style icon. My favourite fashion moment from her this year was on September 5^th when showcasing her Spring 2008 L.A.M.B range. She accessorized her teeny tiny houndstooth dress, from the range, with the perfect accessory, her son Kingston held firmly by her side.

Number Three: Victoria Beckham

Mrs Beckham has had many ‘That Dress’ moments. This year was no exception. My favourite, and the look that has spawned countless copycats, was when she stole the show as David signed up at the LA Galaxy football club on July 13^th. Wearing a pink ‘Moon’ dress by Roland Mouret, only seen on the catwalk days before, with a Pink Birkin handbag, and her blonde Pob, she takes a nod at the traditional LA look, without going that step too far into Barbie territory.

Number Four: Lily Allen

When she started her career, Lily Allen brought a whole new meaning to chav-chic. With her vintage ball-gowns matched with Nike trainers and gold doorknocker earrings, she was certainly difficult to ignore. This year she has still been seen out and about in fabulous ball-gowns, but her taste has become more refined, perhaps because she is one of Largerfeld’s newest muses. Having lost weight after a health scare in the autumn, she looks elegant and poised in this Chanel dress that she wore to the pre-view of the Chanel Autumn/Winter 2008 collection in London.

Number Five: Katie Holmes

Although Katie Holmes has been criticized by many who feel that she is dressing at least twenty years older than her age, there is no denying that she completely outshone Tom Cruise at the recent Bambi Awards in Dusseldorf. Showing off a new fringe and bob while wearing a Monique Lhuillier outfit, she looked every inch the glamorous film star wife.  

1st Runner Up:  Jennifer Lopez

After months of is she/isn’t she J.Lo finally confirmed her pregnancy on the last night of her tour. While her Cavalli designed stage outfits were meant to disguise the bump, the Grecian gown she wore to the Conde Nast Media Groups 2007 Movies Rock at the Kodak Theatre on December 2^nd made her look radiant without being over the top, Christina Aguilera take note.

2nd Runner Up: Keira Knightley

It has to be Keira in the green dress she wore in Atonement. Although not strictly a fashion moment as it was confined to celluloid, there is no denying the fashion world sat up and took note of this 1940s wonder, with countless fashion spreads on how to perfect this look, many featuring a version of that dress.

The Top 5 Celebrity Yummy Mummy’s: We wish they were ours

Celebrity mum's have been under fire for bad behaviour, drunken shenanigans, indeed we at Star Trip even have our top five worst mums  so in relation to this, I thought it's only fair to show you the mothers who make us proud, and who I'd willingly petition for adoption.

Number 1: Angelina Jolie

With her ‘rainbow family’ always close behind her, it’s hard not to have Ms. Jolie at the top of the list. Having adopted 3 children and had one biological child with fiance Brad Pitt, Jolie is still planning to expand her family further, with more biological and adopted children coming soon. Her devotion to her family is hard to overlook- and so is the fact that Brad and Ange collectively donated $6.6million to charily last year. What a woman.

Number 2: Gwen Stefani

After telling the world she was pregnant by shouting “I want you to shout so hard the baby hears it” during a concert in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, despite her press agent stating that recent baby rumours were untrue, Gwen Stefani Gave birth to Kingston Rossdale. Since then, numerous pictures have been printed with little Kingston on his mummy’s hip in cute little outfits, visiting various celebrity events such as the NRJ Music Awards in Cannes, with Gwen never failing to look amazing. Recent pics of Gwen and Kingston on the beach show just what a yummy mummy Gwen is-how does she manage to look that good with a fourteen-month-old little lad to look after?

Number 3: Katie Holmes

She’s Posh’s favourite pal, and we can certainly see why. Since baby Suri was born on 18^th April 2006, she has barley been seen out of her mum’s arms. And we can see why: constantly smiling and giggling, baby Suri is one of the cutest things we’ve ever seen. One of Katie’s fellow Dawson’s Creek stars, Oliver Hudson, said of her, "She almost seems born for motherhood. She's a nurturer. She's got mother qualities a lot of girls her age don't have." Lucky Suri.

Number 4: Gwyneth Paltrow

When the pictures of Apple wearing little pink ear protectors, whilst balanced on her mummy’s hip at Live 8 came out, all the women in the nation breathed a collective “ahhhh”. As her child innocently sucked her thumb, Paltrow beamed at the camera’s, showing off her blatant happiness. When Gwyneth announced why her and hubby Chris Martin had chosen the name Moses for their second bundle of joy, the same noise was heard again. The name Moses was given in reference to the song Martin wrote Gwyneth after their secret weeding in California, which included lyrics “Like Moses has the power of the sea, so you've got power over me..." and refers to the first time the pair met. Could there be any more love in this family?!

Number 5: Liz Hurley

After seeing the pics of Liz and Damien at her recent marriage to Arun Nayar in March this year, we couldn’t help but put her up here. And with her own swim range and entrepreneurial skills, what was stopping us? She looks fantastic in all of the ad’s for her range, and clearly completely dotes on Damian. A true yummy mummy indeed.

The top five most unusual celebrity friendships: The stars we never thought would be chums

Like true best friends, Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie are so close that they share everything – a penchant for dating celebrities, a tendency not to each much and now both have completed jail time (paltry though the sentences were.) And so in celebration of this bond, we at Star Trip look to other celebrity friendships that have garnered their fare share of column inches. We’re not interested in any of those obvious alliances that make sense – chums like Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox or Peter Kay and Corrie star Sally Lindsay. We want those that have you screwing up your face in confusion – they’re friends you ask?

 

Number 1: Victoria Beckham and Katie Holmes

 

Who knows how these two become friends but since that mysterious introduction Mrs. Beckham and Mrs. Cruise have become the world’s most photographed best friends. Posh is said to bestow Katie with marriage and fashion advice, though what Katie brings to the party we don’t know. She has copied Posh’s new cropped hairstyle, tags along with her when shopping and at football matches and hasn’t even managed to snag her any movie roles yet. In her favour, Katie and hubbie Tom did co-host a welcome to LA party for the Beckhams, but I wonder if their bond goes even further. Maybe they have already planned the future marriage of their children – I said maybe.

Number 2: Tom Cruise and Joss Stone

Joss Stone is hobbling around on crutches these days with crazy purple hair, but one of the most surprising things about the West country soul singer is her friendship with Tom Cruise. Yes, the Tom Cruise, that sparkly-toothed, air-punching, sofa-jumping megastar. On her Hollywood chum, Joss says: "He's just a guy. It's like a huge compliment, 'cos he is at the top-top-top of his tree. He's lovely. He's just a normal guy” Really? I thought Scientology beat that out of you. Having hung out with Tom and his kids she believes she has the inside scoop on the movie star: “He doesn't want anyone to hurt me, because he knows I'm just starting. He's like, if you ever need anything, just call me up. He's a lovely, lovely person. That's all it is. And he's really good at what he does." Don’t forget that plug for his acting talents Joss. What kind of celebrity friend would you be if you forgot to promote his work?

 

Number 2: Pamela Anderson and Liz Hurley

Apparently they had been buddies for years but it wasn’t until they were spotted together at theVanity Fair Oscar Party in 2001 that the world learned of the friendship between Liz Hurley and Pamela Anderson. People were surprised – what could the two possibly have in common? Well, there’s the limited acting ability, fixatation with their own breasts, rollercoaster relationships with other high-profile men, oh we get the point.

Number 5: Arnold Schwarzenegger and David Spade

Guess who turned up to help celebrate funnyman David Spade’s 43^rd birthday back in July? Non other than Arnold Schwarzenegger. The Governator was caught on camera at the bash held at the Buffalo Club by website TMZ. In the footage, Arnie looked almost bashful that the paparazzi had clocked his friendship with Spade, as though some nasty secret - but we say be loud and proud Arnie. After all, they would make the ultimate in little guy/ big guy pairings, with Arnie kicking ass while Spade delivers the pithy putdown. Someone make this film now!

 

Number 4: Liza Minnelli and Martine McCutcheon

 

The media circus that was the 2002 wedding between Liza Minnelli and David Gest had a seemingly never-ending guest list. An invite to this showbiz ‘I do’ was considered no big deal in many elite circles. However when it comes to the actual wedding party for celebrity unions usually only the most trusted, intimate and close friends are involved. So everyone was surprised when ex Eastenders star Martine McCutcheon turned up as a bridesmaid. Yes – she wasn’t in charge of the guest list, the gifts or any other pointless job, she had been chosen to trot down the aisle as part of the main event. Sure there were about 15 bridesmaids, but Martine has found her celebrity chum to be an inspirational force: "If it hadn't been for Liza I would still be really depressed. I met her at a time when I was feeling disillusioned and she really helped me. She made me believe in myself again." And that’s what friends are for – aww!

Maggie Gyllenhaal: Not a fan of Katie Holmes

Shiny Media favourite Maggie Gyllenhaal is a proper actress, with a brain full of clever opinions and a huge library full of leather-bound books (probably.) One thing she isn’t is a tabloid darling or media favourite, and so it was a welcome switch when it was announced that she would be replacing Katie Holmes as Rachel Dawes in the next Batman film. But how does she feel about inheriting the role from Mrs. Tom Cruise? Well, being able to string a sentence together without help from her PA, she’ll tell you. "I'm not walking into Katie Holmes' performance.”

         

"I'm thinking of it as an opportunity to play somebody who's alive and smart. Chris (Nolan) asked me to do this because he wanted me, not because he wants some generic lady in a dress." Ooer – did anybody else feel the cold draught there? Credit to Maggie for speaking her mind and saying what many other people in Hollywood are bound to be thinking.

Katie Holmes might be carrying spawn of the devil. Again.

Poor little Katie Holmes. Not only does she have to spend all her time with the terrifying-toothed midget of Hollywood, Tom Cruise, but is single-handedly increasing the population of the Church of Scientology.

People everywhere are frowning and tutting at the manipulation of the clean-cut ex-Dawson's Creek actress. Cruise made her stand in a hole for their wedding snaps and probably made her get that rather mumsie haircut and sport frumpy swimsuits while frolicking in the sea. And now, after the mysterious birth of baby Suri 2 years ago, rumoured to be gay Tom seems to have implanted his seed again.

Shots like this on the left and this close up have set tongues wagging across Hollywood. Perhaps a figure hugging black number wasn't the best choice since operation Cruise are denying all pregnancy rumours. And even if it is a normal amount of chub, why the dress, eh?

Let's hope that this baby looks a little more like the 'dad' so we start to be convinced of Tom's verility and sterling fatherhood. Hands up who can spot the next leader of the world's most frightening religion? That's right, I'm pointing at her bump. Anyone else scared?

Jada Pinkett wants you to think that Katie Holmes runs TomKat

Sometimes I wish I weren't so damn cynical. After all, Jada Pinkett, who I think is fab, has just come out and given a big long speech all about the TomKat marriage, saying that Katie Holmes wears the pants, and is the ballsiest woman in the entire universe, such is her "quiet thunder". Oh, and Tom Cruise doesn't ram Scientology down the throats of all his nearest and dearest.

I would love to believe it, I really would. But I can't. The entire piece, which appeared in People, reads more like a prepared press statement that it does actual speech. Proof? Try this comment on for size: "When you look at Kate now [compared to] when she first met Tom, she's more confident and more knowing who she is than ever before. You can see it in her pictures. She looks more beautiful and more confident and more assured."

Anyway. Would someone of Tom Cruise's superstardom really be friends with someone who talked to the press about such personal things without his express permission? Methinks not. My guess is, Jada was called in as a name, because 'a source close to the couple' and 'a trusted friend' just weren't doing the trick.

Avert your eyes now! Posh Spice and Katie Holmes are designing clothes together. For children!

Not content with dressing like a Stepford Wife rapidly approaching retirement age, Katie Holmes has decided to ruin all love of fashion for children around the world. BFF Victoria Beckham, who can fit into kids' clothes, also wants to try her hand at designing them. Oh yay. When these two visions collide, the children of the world will be dressed like frumpy middle-aged Eurotrash hookers.

The fabulous A Socialite's Life has tracked down a picture of what is believed to be a sketch from the collection, and all it really tells us is that neither of them can draw for toffee. I'm sure that'll make designing a collection easy as pie.

A miserable Katie Holmes seeks support from Posh Spice

The TomKat relationship has long been the subject of internet ridicule, and many believe the marriage to be a sham defined by the terms of a rigid contract. But the mainstream press has been less cynical about the whole affair - until now. According to Us Weekly magazine, Katie Holmes is so despairing of her relationship with Tom Cruise that she spends hours on the phone with Victoria Beckham, seeking advice.

A source close to TomKat told the magazine all sorts that you'd think anyone close to the couple would keep to themselves - or at least confidential chats with Katie's parents. "Katie has been crying over the phone. She's frustrated. Tom is denying her every single thing. ... Once, Katie and Victoria talked on the phone for four hours."

While you can't learn much more without buying the magazine, the cover also implies that Cruise has near-total control over Katie, as he screens her phone, threatens to take her credit cards away, and moves his family in. Oh, the joys of living with mother-in-law.

TomKat moving to London?

I have some unfortunate news that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes may be invading our side of the pond. Apparently, they've purchased a 6 bedroom house in Dorman's Park, just outside of London. Sadly, London Town may become TomKat's "little get away" from their home in Beverly Hills.

Perhaps Tom is on a "world domination" plan to spread the teachings of Scientology around the globe. First the States, then Italy, and now the UK? At least we've had adequate time to move if anyone feels the need. But on the bright side of things, at least they didn't have their wedding hoopla here.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes: the wedding was a sham!

No, not for the reason you're thinking, either. Today's Sun reports on the fact that Tom and Katie were already hitched before their lavish 'wedding' in Italy this weekend. In fact, they tied the knot in LA last week according to Tom's spokesman, "as is customary for couples marrying outside of the United States". In other words, the Italian service was just a blessing ceremony.

Still, it managed to create a right old hoo-ha nonetheless. The paper says that opera star refused to sing 'Ave Maria' at the event because it wasn't a Catholic service, while local priest Nicola Fiorentini rang his bells louder and longer to clash with the ceremony.

Celebs in attendance included Victoria Beckham, Richard Gere, Jennifer Lopez. Brooke Shields and Will Smith. And apparently J-Lo ordered a dozen pizzas when she got back to her hotel, which is either a comment on the food at the reception, or [insert your own arse joke here]

Victoria Beckham turns wedding planner for Katie Holmes

Want the perfect wedding? Call in Victoria Beckham. And not just because she has time on her hands, either. Fresh from helping Cheryl Tweedy choose her wedding dress when she got hitched to Ashley Cole, Victoria is now apparently giving Katie Holmes tips for her upcoming nuptials to Tom Cruise in Italy.

"This is fantastic news for Katie," a source tells today's Mirror. "Not only has a date been set for her big day, she has got fashion queen Victoria helping with her wedding plans. She wants to have a stylish low-key hen do and if Victoria's around she'll be there helping her celebrate."

That'll be comedy purple thrones for the wedding, then.

Top Ten Stories - Keith Urban Is An Alkie, & Madonna Is A Cradle-Snatcher

Good news ladies, Harry Potter, ahem, Daniel Radcliffe, is single. And going to be performing NUDE onstage next summer. Try to curb your enthusiasm, there.
Country crooner Keith Urban has quietly checked into rehab for alcohol abuse, whilst wife Nicole Kidman still manages to get some action with fellow rehab-fan, Robert Downey Jr.
Sharon Osbourne declares that fat is the new black, as she's set to remove her gastric band later this year.
The father of the year old Malawian orphan that Madonna has recently adopted is now claiming he didn't consent to him being adopted, that he thought they would only look after him for awhile. More likely he heard her latest album and couldn't surrender his child to such future horrors.
Jade Goody, forever having problems with the numerous men in her life, reportedly punched boyfriend Jack on Saturday night, splitting his lip.
Lindsay Lohan is a dirty, dirty bitch. But a considerate one, at that, as she left dozens of designer clothes behind when she recently moved out of the hotel she called home.
The Arctic Monkeys are set to write an autobiography based on their stardom, to be due before Christmas.
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are set to get married in Italy next month, no doubt due to the lovely scenery there, and not all the hot male action. Ahem.
Predictably, Michael Barrymore's comeback attempt has failed, possibly due to the fact he's playing 'Scrooge' in A Christmas Carol, hitting more than slightly close to home.

Top Ten Stories - Ricky Gervais Is Rich, & Sharon Osbourne Is Drunk. Nothing New There!

Ricky Gervais becomes one of those rich bastards, as he has recently snapped up a £2.5 million home in North London. The only downside is he is now neighbours with Jonathan Ross.

Perpetual skinny, Gwyneth Paltrow, has scrapped the macrobiotic diet she's been on for years, as she apparently isn't losing her minimal baby weight.

According to Pete Doherty's uncle (so reliable), Pete and Kate are going to get married on Kate's birthday, January 16th, as if we haven't already heard a million wedding rumours by now.
Hugh Hefner, the former sex-machine, no longer has the energy for sex, saying that he instead prefers a game of dominoes with the Playboy bunnies. Maybe he's gay?
Mel Gibson has apologised for his drunken, racist outburst of recent times, however seemingly forgets to apologise for The Passion of the Christ.
Like the sadist she is, Nicole Kidman has apparently phoned Katie Holmes and encouraged her to marry Tom Cruise, hopefully for entertainment's value only.
Russell Brand has found love with an art student. Figures, only an art student could love something like that.
Make sure you watch the Sharon Osbourne show tonight at 5pm, as apparently she's hopelessly drunk on tonight's episode - always a bonus, drunk elderly women.

Anna Nicole Smith did not get married to her lawyer over the weekend, oh no, as if they would be that insensitive to her recently-dead son - no, they just went on a luxury yacht cruise with plenty of champers, is all.

Oh Lordy, turns out Tom Cruise was serious when he said he wants to star in a film with Katie Holmes, as he is currently shopping for scripts that will 'put him back in the good graces of the movie-going public'. Someone tell him it'll take more than a film, it'll take a death.
Steve Irwin's widow, Terri, claims the footage of his death will never be shown. Give up, snuff freaks.
Sounds like being divorced is the least of Jessica Simpson's worries, girl needs a fresh pair of undies!

Quote of the Week with Joan Rivers

God bless Joan Rivers and her gigantic mouth and invisible tact. She recently launched a tirade against several 'slebs, saying of Angelina Jolie 'She can catch fish in her big lower lip', Suri Cruise, 'She's obviously Asian and wears a wig', and Michael Jackson 'I would've forced my grandson to let Michael pet him to get the $36 million that all the other kids got'. The world would be a more boring place without her, bless.

Katie To Play Posh

Now, please understand that here at Star Trip we're not the sort of people who will judge an artistic endeavour before we've seen/heard it.  That would be wrong and ignorant of us.  But, faced with the rumour that Tom Cruise has pitched the idea of a David Beckham biopic - let's just say eyebrows were raised.  The fact that Paramount optioned the movie caused those same eyebrows to move higher.  And, well, certain people will be taking tweezers to the backs of their necks in future with the news that Katie Holmes is set to play Posh.

A British actor is being lined up to play Becks, which will undoubtedly lead to guesswork aplenty in the press.  No word yet on who'll play Rebecca Loos.  An insider said "Tom has a brilliant grasp of what the public want to see".  Really?  And he STILL made The Last Samurai?  [Toni Kelly]

Katie Holmes Having Doubts About Cruise Marriage

Okay. I'm going to have to put my judgemental hat on here. Katie Holmes is said to be having doubts about marrying Tom Cruise and she's supposed to have said: "I don't have my own life any more. I'm not comfortable."

Right. I get that, I really do, because he's an insane control freak who is in dire need of a plot. But really - she rushed into this relationship, had a baby very early and sadly Suri is the one who'll suffer from this Hollywood mistake. I'm sure the Cruise camp will deny Katie feels this way or said what she's been quoted as saying, but still... when's the wedding? It's been being postponed for six months now. Something tells me these two are never going to make it up the aisle.

Well, they kept us waiting long enough, but now they've obviously tired of sniggering at the internet rumours and decided to show us the goods.  By "goods" I, of course, mean "baby".  Looks just like an ordinary baby, to be fair, albeit possibly a baby in a wig, with a side parting too.  With the press fighting among themselves over "Suri" puns, TomKat retired to their chamber and did nothing newsworthy for the rest of the week.  Celebs, eh?

You've seen the Suri Cruise Vanity Fair pics... now buy the t-shirt on eBay!

Phew, as if all the excitement of finally clapping eyes on Suri Cruise wasn't enough, some enterprising eBayers are already hawking t-shirts based on her first Vanity Fair cover. Bayraider found them today, and there's bound to be floods of cash-in products to follow. Mugs, mousemats, fridge magnets, branded Scientology E-Meters... Well, maybe not that last one.

Talking of magazine covers, Bayraider also found a rather nifty Lindsay Lohan handbag today, made out of an issue of Rolling Stone which has her on the cover. It'll set you back $35, which frankly is a fraction of the price Li-Lo would normally pay for a bag. But hey, it's style that counts, not price. I repeat that mantra to myself every time I buy a new t-shirt in Peacocks.

Also today on Bayraider: a football signed by Rod Stewart, a drumstick signed by Led Zeppelin's John Bonham, and a rare Radar Robot from Japan.

A Week With TomKat

Well, it's been a busy week down TomKat way over the past seven days, though there's not been much about them as a couple as such. Tom's been making headlines, following his unceremonial dumping by Paramount, who tore up his production deal with them. There's been a bit of a war of words since then, with Tom saying he left Paramount - not the other way round - and it's all been very, very childish, even by celebrity standards. It's now emerged that Tom has chosen to take a paycut of $7million and has signed a new deal worth around $3million a year. Considering he hasn't had a box office smash in some time, he should be very happy with that, especially when you consider that amount is one to cover "office and staffing" expenses. Are all of his staff made of solid gold?

It's also emerged that Tom has taken quite a spectacular drop in popularity since beginning his relationship with Katie Holmes and his subsequent insane behaviour. He finished last in a UK poll, where readers were asked to vote which actor they'd like as their best friend. The marketing industry 'Q' scores (nope, I haven't got a clue) have also indicated Tom is on a downward popularity spiral.

And we still haven't seen that bloody baby!

A Week With TomKat

Everyone's favourite miniature Scientologist couple are good value for gossip, and no mistake.  Tiny Tom and, er, Kould-Be-Taller Katie are like a two-person gossip action force, travelling the world to defeat the forces of banality.  This week, they've been getting up to all manner of zaniness.

Just one example was the exemplary behaviour they showed in comforting and waiting for an ambulance with a couple of accident victims.  Or did they?  Tom's horse-catching, mugger-thwarting activities have led to scepticism in some quarters.

Meanwhile, speculation that Katie has been brainwashed by the Scientologists, spawned by reports that at a Hollywood party she looked "dead in the eyes".  Huh.  But she'd had nothing to do with Scientology when she was on Dawson's Creek.

A Week With TomKat

Days since Suri was born: 118. And we still haven't seen her. But, that should all be about to change - it's emerged that the spawn of TomKat has already undergone her first photoshoot with Annie Leibovitz and said photos will be published in the Autumn issue of Vanity Fair. Right... but didn't TomKat promise a similar kind of thing would take place in May? Will we ever see the child?

Talking of Suri, Victoria Beckham has been granted a visit to see the tot, but has been given a strict set of rules to follow, which include not touching the baby and not being allowed to take any photographs. So... she's allowed to be in the same room as Suri and that's it? That'll be fun.

Anyway. Information has spilled out that Katie is taking her desire to get rid of her baby weight to extreme measures, so she can reprise her role in the latest set of Batman flicks. She's already reportedly spending a lot of time in the gym, and a source revealed: "She's already in the gym every day and is being super-strict about what she eats. She's also doing yoga and has started kickboxing."

And that concludes a week with TomKat. [Toni Kelly]

A Week With TomKat

There isn't an awful lot I can say on the subject of TomKat this week. The usually so-addicted-to-publicity couple haven't done anything of note, but maybe that's a story in itself... where the heck is baby Suri?

It's now an impressive 111 days since the Cruise tot was born and we're still yet to see her. Rumours are flying around that perhaps she doesn't exist. I'll just add some fuel to the fire; did anyone else find Katie's pregnancy a little strange? In the first photograph of her pregnant, she was huge. In later photographs, she looked a lot smaller - surely this is the wrong way round?

However, reports are coming in from various celebrity friends who claim to have seen the child. Jada Pinkett Smith has told American magazine Us Weekly: “She’s one of the sweetest babies I’ve ever met in my life. She’s an absolute beauty and she’s Daddy’s little girl. She’s got a head full of black, beautiful hair.”

Hmmmm. I'll believe it when I see the photos (well, I might believe it). [Toni Kelly]

Katie Holmes' Parents May Boycott Her Wedding

Oh-oh. There's trouble a-brewing down TomKat way. Whilst the new parents - who have still yet to allow baby Suri to be photographed by the press - are getting ready for their impending wedding, it seems Katie's traditional Catholic parents aren't exactly keen on the plans.

Star magazine has reported that Tom has insisted the wedding will take place at a Scientology centre in Hollywood and will be conducted by church leader David Miscavige. However, Katie's more traditional parents are said to be considering boycotting the wedding in protest. A source says: "Katie was never going to win an argument to have a Catholic wedding. She knows that if she rejected Scientology, he relationship with Tom could have ended. She has become a big part of the church."

Christ, woman, get some balls and make him do as he's told for a change! [Toni Kelly]

Is This Suri Holmes Cruise's Birth Certificate?

The US Weekly site has a handy little clock ticking every passing second away since Suri Holmes Cruise was born. It's now been over 84 days, and not a single photo has emerged. Normally we'd be worried, but since Tom Cruise stole our ability to feel shocked and surprised back when he jumped on the crazy train, we're not really fazed. However, Suri's alleged birth certificate has been making the rounds on the blogosphere, with many pointing out the numerous mistakes in it...[Katherine Hannaford]

Firstly, the certificate was filed 20 days after Suri's birth, at St. John's Hospital, which normally has a policy of filing them within 10 days of the event. An official from the hospital has claimed the delay with the birth certificate occurred as the certificate was not signed by either a parent or representative of the parents until May 4th. When it was finally done, the signature was illegible and labeled merely as a 'friend'. The 'Attendant or Certifier' who signed the certificate, Anne Heffernan, did not see the baby at all, and was not present at the birth.

Others have claimed that the certificate cannot possibly be legitimate, due to the fact that Katie Holmes' name is recorded as 'Kate Holmes', when her legal name is actually Katherine Noelle Holmes. Judging by previous comments on our articles, it seems the average Star Trip reader certainly possesses the full pack of cards, so please, let us know your theories on Suri - Does she exist, or is it all a big conspiracy courtesy of the world's new Michael Jackson-style whacko, Tom Cruise?

Tom Cruise - Father of a Genius?

Tom Cruise has decided he wants his daughter, Suri, to become a genuis. The poor two-month old tot is soon to receive a rather large package of Baby Enstein DVDs and toys. The brand is designer to aid develop and encourage intelligence in children. According to Star magazine, Tom placed a large order with the company despite fiancee Katie Holmes not being too keen on the idea.

The company claim: Parents trust Baby Einstein™ to introduce their babies and toddlers to music, art, language, science and nature in playful, enriching ways. At two months? I already feel sorry for this poor nipper. [Toni Kelly]

TomKat To Split?

Dear Father Christmas,
Please, oh porky, jolly one, pleeeease grant me this early Christmas present, I promise I'll be EVER so good in the future, I promise not to make a single more snarky comment about Heather Mills's leg again, please pretty please help me out here. You just HAVE to make Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes split up, I just KNOW you have the power to do so, and you MUST want to dig up some unsavoury photos of Tom in a compromising position with an L. Ron Hubbard statue, so as to force Katie away from that evil, EVIL man. For goodness sakes, the man wears HEELS! Is that not enough to convince you, Papa Noel?

How about the fact that he has FLAT-OUT refused to accompany Katie to see her family after the birth of that unfortunate child, Suri, and I quote, from a source, 'Katie was really happy he said that, because she’d been afraid to admit to him that she didn’t want him to go.' What sort of relationship is that, eh? EH?! A close friend of hers even said 'Katie’s very unhappy and beginning to realize she may have made a major mistake being with Tom.' Well, if only she'd been reading Star Trip before she first clapped eyes on the midget, that's all I can say, and I bet you're thinking it too, Father C. So please just grant me this one early Christmas present, and I'll never ask you for anything again, OOH, except maybe for Heather Mills to be unfortunately eaten alive by a pack of seal pups she tries to rescue in Canada. Yeh, that'd be awesome. :)

Love, [Katherine Hannaford]

Tom Cruise - One demanding fiance!

To many, Tom Cruise is a heartthrob of the highest order and a good actor. To me, he's a waste of Scientology-blurred space who couldn't act his way out of a paper bag. Still, it takes all sorts. However, my dislike for the vertically-challenged one has increased since I read an article in Closer detailing his demands on fiancee Katie Holmes before their wedding.

Tom has recruited Buff Brides to help Katie shed the three stone she gained during pregnancy before their big day. He's also sorted out a pre-nuptial agreement which grants Katie at least $22million should they split (okay, that bit is quite nice). Tom has also insisted that, instead of a traditional Catholic christening, baby Suri will only have a Scientology 'naming ceremony', which has annoyed Katie's devout Catholic family. He's also been quoted as saying: "I love her and I can't wait to get married. I won't let this woman get away."

Which sounds nice and all, but when you look in to it a bit deeper, is slightly controlling and strange. Or maybe I'm just too cynical... [Toni Kelly]

Everyone's TomKat Crazy

I've been on a TomKat spree since M:I:III was released (I'm such a sucker for 'slebs cunning media-manipulation), and have hunted down the best TomKat sites for your viewing (dis)pleasure. Follow the jump for the best TomKat blogs, merchandise, baby Suri's Myspace pages, and the latest goss on the controversial couple. So, err, has anyone managed to actually see the film yet? Against your will, you say? Oh dear. Leave your comments and let us know your thoughts on the blockbuster failure. [Katherine Hannaford]

The cherry on the pie belongs to Tomcruiseblog, which whilst it hasn't been updated since October 2005, is an extremely entertaining satire of a personal Tom Cruise blog. It includes a very touching letter to his former rumoured flame, Rob of Matchbox 20, and possibly the best fictional Tom Cruise quote ever - 'She no longer flinches (as much) when I touch her as she did when we first met, and she no longer freaks out (as much) whenever she sees me playing naked pool with the butler and the gardener. She even joins in, every once in awhile. It's so awesome.' Love it! Just wish the people behind it would update more often. (Hint hint)

I've managed to find another TomKat blog, TomKatcrazy, which follows every move the pair makes, and is updated several times a day. What more could a bored blogger want in life?

Much in the manner as the 'Free Winona' t-shirts from yesteryear, we now have 'Free Suri' t-shirts available, and of course, 'Free Katie' t-shirts. What I'd give to see Nicole Kidman wearing one of those.

Whilst she may be unable to walk, talk, or start a computer, Suri Holmes-Cruise already has 9 different Myspace accounts. We hear she'll only be your friend if you're a Scientologist, bummer...

And today's gossip on Tom and Katie claims that Tom wears 'lifts' in his shoes. Well, duh, anyone could've told the New York Daily Times that piece of info! Doesn't anyone remember when Nicole Kidman blurted out 'I can wear heels!' on Letterman after their split?

Katie Holmes Realises The Awful Truth

Right, you're an up-and-coming Hollywood starlet who's just had Tom Cruise's baby, you're about to become Mrs Cruise (assuming you can shift the post-baby bump), and you've been welcomed into the bosom of Scientology. Life is sweet, huh? Or is this the moment when it suddenly all hits home? I'm saying nothing. Oh, except that the other pictures from Sky's image gallery of the MI: III premiere are just as funny.
