Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and baby Suri went for a stroll on Independence Day in Telluride, Colorado. Cruise has owned a home in the ski town for years, sharing the local mountain air with Oprah and Oliver Stone.
Other stars used their holiday weekend to visit summer homes, plan sexy getaways or just get out of the house for a bit.]]>
It was threatened, and now it will probably come to pass: Katie Holmes is in talks to appear in Arthur Miller's play "All My Sons" next year on Broadway, meaning that next year's Tony Awards will all be about The Holmes (and the creepy, scenery-devouring shadow of The Cruise as well).
Holmes is rumored to be playing the role of Ann Deever, the play's beautiful young catalyst and the daughter of a man convicted of shipping defective airplane parts to the troops during World War II. Shouldn't she be easing into this Broadway thing? We hear "Chicago" has openings.

Remember Knut, the adorable polar bear who captured our hearts as a cub and appeared on the cover of Vanity Fair with Leonardo DiCaprio before he got too big to be cute? Get ready for "Happy Knut", the movie! The creators of the live-action "Garfield" are pursuing the rights to Knut's story, with an eye towards having celebrity baby star Suri Cruise--spawn of TomKat--voice the cub Knut.
Suri has already visited Knut while Dad has been in Germany filming "Valkyrie," his WWII biopic about a Nazi renegade. Hey, we've seen "Happy Feet," and this sounds like a lot more fun (and adorable). If and when the film gets made, you can bet we'll have all the movie set travel details.

Tom Cruise almost wasn't allowed to film his latest movie in Germany because of his Scientology ties. A scant four months later, they like him so much they gave him a media award for courage--or, as it's known, a Bambi Award.
Forget Oscar, Tony and Emmy, the Bambis definitely have the coolest statue around. Eva Longoria also got to take one home for the international success of "Desperate Housewives," and Sophia Loren was honored with a lifetime achievement award, but Cruise was the one who, according to Celebitchy, gave an acceptance speech of five minutes-plus on the importance of following your dreams. Uh, can you please take your miniature golden deer and go home? Also, Katie Holmes, please return Rihanna's hair on the way out.

Did you spot Katie Holmes among the 38,000 runners at the New York Marathon this weekend? We didn't, but armed with only a flimsy tank top and a look of determination, Mrs. Tom Cruise was able to finish the race in about five and a half hours. Holmes stayed at New York's Carlyle Hotel the night before and went out to the Staten Island start of the race with Tom and baby Suri, who joined fellow spectators along the course.
Like Katie, the two top finishers in the women's field are also moms--Great Britain's Paula Radcliffe and Ethiopia's Gete Wami who ran most of the course together before Radcliffe sprinted ahead in the last mile. Martin Lel of Kenya, who placed first in the 2003 New York City Marathon, won the men's race with an unofficial time of 2:09:05.

The circus has come to town for not-so-newlyweds Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, who have been dividing their time between their L.A. home and the Berlin set of Tom's new movie. The show at hand is Robert Redford's film "Lions for Lambs," opening November 9, in which Cruise plays a Republican senator (no, really!) being interrogated by a reporter played by Meryl Streep about an offensive in Afghanistan. (Redford himself co-stars in the film as an inspirational college professor.)
TomKat gamely walked the red carpet and he told reporters how he's looking forward to flying planes and racing cars with pal David Beckham, who recently ended his first season with the L.A. Galaxy.
Hard to believe the couple no one said would make it has already been legally attached for a year. In other news, your grandma wants to know when you're going to move back home and find a nice young man.
