Both People and The Hollywood Reporter are saying that Katie and Tom are dunzo. “This is a personal and private matter for Katie and her family,” Holmes’ attorney, Jonathan Wolfe, said in a statement. “Katie’s primary concern remains, as it always has been, her daughter’s best interest.” Of course, in THIS MONTH’S issue of Playboy Tom said that his marriage was “stronger than ever” and that he’d “loved Kate since the moment he met her.” Gushes Tom: “She is an extraordinary person, and if you spent five minutes with her, you’d see it. Everything she does, she does with this beautiful creativity.” Calling Holmes, 33, “funny and charming,” Cruise says he lights up when she enters the room. “I’m a romantic. I like doing things like creating romantic dinners, and she enjoys that. I don’t know what to say — I’m just happy, and I have been since the moment I met her. What we have is very special.” Playboy then goes on to say: “With Holmes by his side, Cruise tells us he’s learned to ignore the naysayers. ‘I’d rather spend this time with my kids and my wife, at home or on our movies, creating a life together.'” Which is just SO typical. This is the type of Hollywood crap that drives me CRAZY. Why spend all that effort lying and spin-doctoring something THE SAME MONTH that you are going to announce your separation? We’ve seen it with J-Lo, Jennifer Anniston, Will Smith – why why WHY? OBVIOUSLY their marriage contract was up. She’d put in her five years and was opting out. It couldn’t have been a surprise. WHY would he continue to blither on about how in love they still were? Was it to make him look like she blindsided him? That he’s the victim here? Is he that diabolical? Yuck, yuck, yuck.
