Tom Cruise's Suri playroom

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes bought a New York apartment and turned it into a playroom for their daughter Suri.

The Hollywood couple have reportedly been purchasing several apartments in the 12-storey building, and thought two-year-old Suri could benefit from a bigger area to keep her toys in.

A source said: "Tom and Katie now keep five units in the building. They turned one into Suri's playroom. One they use for a gym, and two apartments are for staff. In the past couple of months they've bought up all these other apartments. They're all separate and on different floors."


However, while 'Mission: Impossible' star Tom has been attempting to mix with the neighbours, Katie - who is in the city starring in Broadway play 'All My Sons' - has been keeping to herself.

The source added to the New York Post newspaper: "Tom is seen coming in and out all the time, and he's really friendly to everyone he meets. But Katie just kind of keeps her head down. Everyone in the neighbourhood is buzzing about it."

A representative for the couple denied the claims.

Katie Holmes opens on Broadway for 'All My Sons'

The former Dawson's Creek star gets a congratulatory hug from a co-star at the curtain call of the opening night show of All My Sons.

The curtain officially rose on Katie Holmes' Broadway career this week as the Mad Money actress stepped onto the stage for the first public performance of post-WWII drama All My Sons.

Tom Cruise's wife, who was presented with a bouquet of blooms at the final curtain call, received a standing ovation for her portrayal of the daughter of a corrupt businessman in the Arthur Miller play. And the audience's positive reception was echoed in early reviews, which hailed her performance "stimulating" and "very provocative".

After taking a final bow Katie donned a white jumpsuit with lace detailing on the sleeves to attend an after-show party. While there was no sign of her famous husband - who attended her first preview performance - she was joined in celebrating the production's opening night success by her famous co-stars, Dianne West and 3rd Rock From The Sun star John Lithgow.

Katie Holmes: I love New York it's my new home now!

The standing ovation that Katie Holmes received for her first performance of All My Sons three weeks ago was a sign that all her hard work had paid off.

Husband Tom Cruise, 46, described her achievement as ‘extraordinary’, but behind the scenes 29-year-old Katie’s new-found love of New York has caused a growing rift between the pair.

‘Katie loves New York and considers it “her city”,’ a source tells Now.

‘Despite Tom’s firm belief that they should be in LA as that’s where the movie industry is, Katie’s enjoyed being with the grittier, more down-to-earth young actors she’s met in New York.

'It’s even transforming the way she dresses – she’s beginning to unveil more fashionable outfits whenever she’s out on her own. Compared to New York, she finds LA fake and unpleasant.’

The problem is that Tom wants her to return to LA in the New Year – but if Katie’s play has its Broadway run extended, friends say a power struggle is certain.

The premiere of Tom’s controversial Nazi film Valkyrie – which has already been put back by several months – is coming up in LA in February, but Katie’s play is set to run at least until January.

Katie Holmes: I blush if Tom Cruise tells me I look nice

Actress says her husband's praise gives her confidence

Katie Holmes says she still gets embarrassed when Tom Cruise compliments her.

The actress, who has 2-year-old daughter Suri with Tom, 45, says it makes her feel amazing.

‘I love it when Tom tells me I look great,’ she admits.

‘It gives me such confidence. Sometimes it makes me blush but it also gives me attitude.

'Every woman likes to be told she looks beautiful.’

Despite her good looks, Katie, 29, says there's one thing she hates about her body.

‘I try to embrace my imperfections,’ she tells Hello!

‘But I will forever wage the battle of the thighs! So I prefer not to show them off.

'I am pretty tall. Usually most actresses are tiny and I’m not – I’m a big one.’

Katie Holmes Broadway star already looking dim

Despite the hype, it seems Katie Holmes will not be making a big splash with her upcoming Broadway debut.

Ticket brokers and group sales agents, who predicted Holmes would be this season’s Julia Roberts—who basically sold out the play “Three Days of Rain” in a day—say interest in Tom Cruise’s wife is nil.

“I bought 1,000 tickets to the show,” one broker tells the New York Post. “I still have them.”

Holmes is set star in the revival of Arthur Miller’s “All My Sons” this fall.

Katie Holmes to make Broadway debut

Actress Katie Holmes will make her Broadway debut later this year in a revival of Arthur Miller's All My Sons, starring alongside Oscar winner Dianne Wiest and Tony winner John Lithgow, producers say.

Holmes shot to fame on the US television series Dawson's Creek before marrying actor Tom Cruise with whom she has two-year-old daughter Suri. Most recently she starred in box office flop Mad Money.

All My Sons is due to open on Broadway in the northern autumn, but a theatre and date have not yet been announced.

The play is based on a true story about a successful businessman who knowingly sold the government defective plane parts during World War II with tragic consequences.

The truth comes out and his life unravels when his son marries his business partner's daughter, to be played by Holmes.

All My Sons was first performed on Broadway in 1947 and won Tony Awards for Miller and director Elia Kazan.

It was adapted for a 1948 feature film starring Edward G Robinson and Burt Lancaster and then performed again on Broadway in 1987.

Katie Holmes' Posh jealousy

Katie Holmes and Victoria Beckham's friendship has become "strained", because of the singer's new Hollywood friends.

After becoming very close when Victoria moved to Los Angeles last year, Katie is now allegedly annoyed the Spice Girl is choosing to spend most of her time with new friends Eva Longoria and Kate Beckinsale.

A source close to the pair told Britain's Star magazine: "Until recently, the Beckhams were bosom buddies with Katie and her husband Tom Cruise. But there is now a clear rift between them, and Victoria has made it clear that Eva and Kate are her new chief allies in Los Angeles.

"Tensions have been brewing ever since Katie took offence to everyone saying that because she's changed her hair, lost weight and started dressing more glamorously, she was morphing into Posh. So she took a step back, and the girls' friendship has cooled off significantly."

Victoria's spokesperson has denied there are problems between the two stars, insisting: "Tom and Katie and David and Victoria were all out for dinner together last Friday (18.04.08)."

The foursome went to Santa Monica restaurant Via Veneto to celebrate Victoria's 34th birthday with Eva, Kate, Gwen Stefani and husband Gavin Rossdale and Will Smith and wife Jada Pinkett-Smith.

Katie Holmes 'Cracking' Under Strain of Life With Tom Cruise

A US magazine claims that the exhausted actress is suffering from debilitating headaches and dizzy spells as a result of her marriage.

Star cites a recent L.A. lunch date when Katie looked pale, feeble and emaciated, and was so disorientated when she left the restaurant that she “braced herself against the doorframe before her bodyguard carefully guided her into a waiting SUV.”

Sources tell the mag that extreme dieting and her manic husband may be contributing to her ill health.

"Katie doesn't get enough sleep - and hasn't for months now," says one insider.

"She's tired and drained much of the day because Tom is so wired, and they stay awake until after midnight. He has boundless energy, and she just can't compete."

Sources also claim that Tom disappears for days at a time, without telling his wife where he's going.

"His rule is 'You can be with me, but don't ask about it,'" says a source.

Katie Holmes' Reese ambition

Katie Holmes wants to become the next Reese Witherspoon.

The former 'Dawson's Creek' actress - who is married to Tom Cruise - is determined to be taken seriously as an actress and wants to be respected as much as the Oscar winner.

A source said: "Katie keeps telling Tom she wants a career like Reese Witherspoon's."

Tom is said to have offered to help his wife by getting her a great script but Katie - who has a 23-month-old daughter, Suri, with the 'Top Gun' star - is determined to make it on her own.

The source added: "Tom has offered to make calls to ensure she gets a first refusal on the hot scripts, but Katie insists she wants to achieve success without his help."

Since leaving hit US teen show 'Dawson's Creek', Katie has appeared in a handful of hit films, including 'Batman Begins', 'Thank You for Smoking' and 'Phone Booth'.

Lepaparazzi News Update: Smith: "Kate Is Running Her Own Show"

(AP) Jada Pinkett Smith says good friend Katie Holmes is an equal partner in her marriage with Tom Cruise.

"People think Tom and the Church of Scientology got something on Kate? They don't," the 35-year-old actress and wife of Will Smith tells People.com in a story posted Thursday. "Kate is running her own show. And she's a great mother. Her kids — Connor, Bella, Suri — are dynamic children and are extremely happy. And her husband is very, very happy."

Pinkett Smith denies reports that Holmes, 28, is a prisoner in her marriage to the 44-year-old actor, who's been depicted by the tabloids as a controlling husband.

"It burns my soul — I see her in the house with Tom; he doesn't have that on her! ... Let me tell you: Kate ain't no little wimpy kitty cat," says Pinkett Smith, who also calls Holmes a "tigress."

The Smiths — close friends of the Cruise-Holmes clan — attended the couple's lavish wedding in Italy last year. Pinkett Smith says Holmes "did not break a sweat" amid the media frenzy.

Dark-haired, blue-eyed Suri was born last year — again, media frenzy. Cruise has two children, Isabella and Connor, from his previous marriage to Nicole Kidman.

"She's young, she popped into motherhood very fast," Pinkett Smith says of Holmes. "If you think about the transition she's done, with as much grace she's had, and on top of it with the attacks — I don't know how she does it."

Pinkett Smith says she's amazed "how people want to focus on 'She's tied up in the basement and he throws steaks to her at night and she gets to see Suri only on Sundays.' It's ridiculous."
