Tom and Katie and Oprah enjoy a long goodbye at TomKat's Aspen "cottage" before O and Mr. Maverick lapse into repeating each other's every word. Yes, this is an incredible interview!

Do Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have a joint production in the works?
We don't mean the movie kind, either: We hear they want to have another a baby.
According to friends who schmoozed with the Cruises in New York earlier this week, Katie wants to have another baby soon, and she has been hinting as much to her husband.
"She said she's got the itch," said a friend close to the pair. "Now that Suri is more toddler than baby, she said she misses having an infant in the house. And, of course, she thinks Suri would make a great big sister."
And what does Tom think? Read on for what our source told us...

Happy Birthday, George Clooney!

UPDATE: I’ve got more details for you from George Clooney’s birthday bash.
There were actually two birthday cakes made by cake and pastry company How Sweet It Is! One was for Clooney in the shape of Italy, where he owns a villa.
The other was for David Beckham, who turned 33 on Friday. The soccer star’s cake was in the shape of the United States.
I’m told John Mayer performed and Sarah Silverman even shocked some party guests when she spent some time working as Bungalow 8’s doorperson.

George Clooney turns 47 today, but the world’s most famous hunk started celebrating last night.
Giorgio Armani hosted a birthday bash for the Oscar winner after the Costume Institute Gala. It was invite-only, a source reports, for about 100 people at Amy Sacco’s legendary hot spot Bungalow 8. Clooney picked the venue, I'm told.
So just who made the VIP guest list?
Cruise Cleared for New Mission

Here's one Mission we really thought was impossible: Tom Cruise and Sumner Redstone working together again.
Despite severing his 14-year business relationship with Cruise in 2006—a year after Mission: Impossible III blew up at the box office and Cruise bounced around Oprah's couch—Viacom overlord Redstone now says he's amenable to having the A-lister lead a fourth installment of the money-grabbing franchise.
"That's really up to Brad Grey, who runs Paramount," Redstone told reporters at the Seoul Digital Forum conference in South Korea.
"I consider Tom Cruise a great actor and a good friend," he added. "And if Paramount decides—and they will make the decision—to move ahead with him, I will not object."Suri's One Red Shoe

Sure, Tom and Katie's kid could have played it safe with just the bottle or blanket, but how many kids dare to accessorize their outfit with a single red shoe?
Stars Come Out (on Tape) for Tom & Oprah, Part 2

Oh, so that's why some people gave a flying fizz about Tom Cruise's opinion on postpartum depression. He used to just be the hot guy (with pretty decent acting chops) in the movies.
Day two of the star's sit-down with Oprah Winfrey—his first interview with the daytime queen since he flipped his lid for Katie Holmes—got down to business in honor of Cruise's 25th anniversary as a cinematic leading man.
With the down-to-earth, "real guy" stuff having been hashed out already at TomKat's Telluride, Colo., getaway last week, today's installment of The Oprah Winfrey Show featured taped kudos from Cruise's past costars (Renée Zellweger, Jamie Foxx, Dustin Hoffman, Dakota Fanning) and miscellaneous superstar pals (cuteness alert: Posh & Becks saw Jerry Maguire on the night of their first kiss, and their future neighbor later gave David Beckham his "you had me at hello" jacket—"and he hasn't taken it off since," Victoria said), as well as the star's own musings on a career well done.
Well, for the most part.
Some highlights:

If anyone can steal Tom Cruise's days of thunder, it's definitely daughter Suri.
With her new fashion-plate 'do, all eyes were on the little tyke as she was seen heading out of a New York City hotel with her famous folks over the weekend.
However, Tom will try to get the spotlight back this afternoon on Oprah Winfrey's show, when Miss O finishes the fawning she started last Friday.
But alas, you-know-who is expected to make an appearance where she'll invariably take the attention away—yet again—from her pop.
Especially if she starts jumping on the...well, you know.
Tom Returns to the Scene of the Crime
Fri., May. 2, 2008 5:36 PM PDT
Tom Cruise went back to where it all began Friday.
We could mockingly lead you astray for pages and pages as to what that means, but you all know: The microscopically examined movie star sat down next to Oprah Winfrey today for the first time since…yeah, that.
And except for the fact that Cruise is now the remarried father of a 2-year-old daughter—who does, in fact, partly resemble him—with a recent flop under his belt rather than a box-office topper, not a whole lot has changed.
Speaking from the sanctity of Cruise and Katie Holmes' Telluride, Colo., manse on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the actor's breakthrough role in Risky Business, Oprah asked her pal about "the couch" and his relationship with Katie Holmes, Scientology and his beliefs, Brooke Shields, Matt Lauer and making movies.
This time, of course, she also got to ask about that in-house sonogram machine, whether he believes in God, whether Suri is his and whether—knowing that hindsight is 20/20—he would now think twice about putting his feet (not to mention his heart and soul) on the furniture.
Tom Cruise: Sharing the Love

Hopefully, the little one isn't the jealous type.
First Tom Cruise's kid, Connor, lands a small role in Will Smith's upcoming film Seven Pounds; now the Mission: Impossible star is taking his son and other daughter, Isabella, to cheer on family friend David Beckham.
On Saturday, the actor—sans Suri—was spotted with his two older kids in the stands as the trio watched the soccer match between Becks' L.A. Galaxy and Chivas.
Relax, Suri. Neither of your siblings ever made the cover of Vanity Fair, so you've still got that going for you.

Oprah Spills Secrets of Tom Cruise Interview

Oprah Winfrey went there with Tom Cruise.
I can exclusively report that Ms. Winfrey’s upcoming interview with Cruise includes questions about Scientology, his verbal smackdown with Matt Lauer on the Today show and, yes, the infamous couch-jumping incident.
Winfrey actually revealed these details herself during this weekend's Las Vegas taping of her joint interview with Tina Turner and Cher.
And that isn't all Winfrey shared.
Tom Cruises In for Connor's Contracts

It's a very risky business, after all.
It seems the casting of Tom Cruise's son, Connor, in the upcoming Will Smith movie Seven Pounds was even a surprise to costar Rosario Dawson—that is, until a certain Hollywood top gun showed up one day.
The actress tells E! News that while the story about Connor's involvement in the flick just went public a few days ago, she's known for quite some time, and recalls how she first found out.
"I think it's actually really funny. During rehearsals, Tom walks in, and I'm like, OK, I guess they're just having a visit," says Dawson.
Is Will Smith now a Scientologist?

Which celebrities are Scientologists, and why are there so many? Is Will Smith one now?
—Silvia, Phoenix
Here's what we know for sure:
- Smith is tight with Tom Cruise, a very public Scientologist.
- So tight that Cruise showed up at Smith's recent induction to the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the premiere of Smith's flick I Am Legend.
- Smith recently told Men's Vogue that he has "studied Scientology through Tom [Cruise]."
- Smith has likened Scientology to mainstream religions, telling Men's Vogue that "98 percent of the principles [in Scientology] are identical to the principles of the Bible."
- After wrapping his latest movie, Hancock, Smith reportedly gave the crew vouchers for personality tests offered by the Church of Scientology.
- Sources close to Smith told MSNBC the actor "has been getting more and more involved" in Scientology.
- Smith's reps may be too busy taking personality tests to answer your question. They didn't reply to a request for comment on whether Smith is or is not, in fact, a Scientologist.
So, it's clear that Smith is at least very interested in Scientology, which is followed by thousands, perhaps millions, of people who believe their bodies are occupied by the troubled spirits of departed aliens. Either that or Smith just really loves personality tests.
If Smith and his wife, Jada, have joined—or plan to join—the church, they have plenty of celebrity compadres. Other people who count themselves as Scientologists:
Giovanni Ribisi, Juliette Lewis, Leah Remini, Beck, Greta Van Susteren, Jenna Elfman, Jason Lee, the Masterson brothers, John Travolta, Kelly Preston, Laura Prepon, Lisa Marie Presley, and her mom, Priscilla.
Briefly, the doctrine of Scientology posits that man is an immortal spiritual being "who is endowed with abilities well beyond those which he normally considers he possesses."
There's no discounting the group's popularity in Hollywood. Part of that popularity can be chalked up to the TLC the church gives to stars via its "Celebrity Centre" retreat here in L.A. The networking can't hurt, either. But perhaps most important, Scientology is largely about active recruitment. Take a stroll down Hollywood Boulevard, and you'll likely see squadrons of bushy-tailed kids offering the church's personality tests to passersby. Critics have called it a cult, noting that adherents believe ancient alien spirits plague most of mankind.
Speaking of plagues, you'll excuse me. I think my editor wants something.
