Katie’s Plastics

TOM Cruise has used his interview with Oprah Winfrey to address rumours of his marriage to Katie Holmes, his daughter Suri and his relationship with Scientology.

When Tom Cruise last had a TV chat with Oprah Winfrey he astonished the world by bouncing on the couch, crowing about his love for Katie Holmes - and sparking a flood of ridicule that's just kept flowing.

Now he has he returned to Winfrey's sofa - but this time, rather than professing his devotion, Cruise was busy denying marital problems with his younger wife.

"That's laughable to me," Cruise said when Winfrey told him there was speculation that "what you and Katie have is not real".

It was the first time Cruise appeared on the show since his couch-hopping stunt three years ago.

"It was something that I just felt that way, and I feel that way about her. That's just how I felt," he said in the interview aired today.

The Hollywood star said he could not articulate "the feeling, the connection" with Holmes and noted their daughter Suri, now three, was born a year to the day after he met Holmes.

Cruise was also attacked after other comments criticising actress Brooke Shields for taking anti-depressant drugs and for over-medication of children generally. "You've just got to take it in stride," he said.

Winfrey interviewed Cruise at his mountaintop home near Telluride, Colorado, surrounded by the snow-capped Rocky Mountains. The show marked the 25th anniversary of Risky Business, his breakthrough movie.

Holmes, 29, and Cruise, 45, both greeted Winfrey when she arrived at the sprawling log home, where they gave her moccasins with her name stitched on them waiting in a cubicle marked "Oprah" with a brass plate. Holmes said she loved them both and left them to their interview.

The look is so plastic, like she sprung out from a cartoon show. But who cares right? Everybody is talking about the nasty shiny orange strapless number with matching ridiculous blue pumps. ;

You want to stand out, fine you did but in an comical kind of way. That's probably still good publicity, I guess.
