Tom Cruise Flies the Coop

Tom Cruise isn't going to win the Father of the Year awards. Leaving his baby-mama, Katie Holmes, at home with their newborn, he hopped a jet to Rome today to promote Mission Impossible III. He claimed Katie pushed him to go forward with the trip:

"I wasn't going to come and then Kate said, you know, 'Go. Go.' ... So I'm here. And I'll be here for a few hours and then I'll get back on an airplane and go back home to Kate and Suri."

Something tells us it was one of those conversations where your girlfriend is saying you should go, but really means, don't even think about it. Or it would have been, if he hadn't upped Katie's dosage first.

We're sure that the other stars of the film--Keri Russell, Ving Rhames and Lawrence Fishburne--were just thrilled that Cruise showed up. Maybe he brought them some placenta leftovers?
