And You Thought the TomKat Wedding Was Over...

Tom Cruise and Kate Cruise (apparently that's what we're supposed to call her now, as the last shreds of her adorable, likable Joey Potter-ness have at last been phased out) are going to have yet another wedding reception here in Los Angeles. This one's for the folks who couldn't be bothered to trek out to Italy for the mediafest that was their original wedding. The party will be held at the Beverly Hills estate of Paula Wagner, who is Cruise's producing partner.

Tom and Kate (uggggh I hate calling her that) are freshly back to the States after their 13-day honeymoon in the Maldives. The older Cruise kids (the ones that call Nicole Kidman mom, when she makes her annual phone call) weren't invited, but Suri tagged along, ostensibly because, away from the watchful eye of TomKat, she may be prone to DNA tests and other evil tools of science. Says a source: "It was a family occasion. They played with Suri all the time, filming her on a camcorder."

Now There are New TomKat Wedding Photos, Too

Which is primarily responsible for the vague sense of nausea you've had since you woke up this morning?

a) These recently released TomKat wedding photos (they'll run in the December 5 Hello magazine)

b) The new Britney Spears va-jay-jay explosion?

c) The six vodka sodas you drank last night. And the pregnancy.

Thanks to MollyGood for the heads-up.

Where Can I Return This?

I can think of a lot of gifts I would have given Tom and Katie had they invited me to the wedding.

A golden scepter
Diamond encrusted cubic zirconium
Multiple Maseratis.

But you know what I wouldn't have thought of? One of those hand written notes you used to give your mom that promised you'd clean the kitchen for a week.

Luckily David Beckham remembered. Per our pals at the SfGate Daily Dish; He's giving Tom's children soccer lessons as a wedding gift.

That's right, Connor and Isabella are set to take lessons with good ol' Becks when he's not indisposed.

Whaa? This gift sucks ass for a myriad of reasons but here are just a few:

1) Katie gets nothing.
2) Katie's little nugget Suri gets nothing.
3) Connor and Isabella don't need soccer lessons because they won't be soccer players. Plus they are eleven and thirteen. Plus they weren't getting married (unless I truly don't get how that religion works).
4) Posh Spice should fucking know better.
5) It's not a GIFT! You can't hold it!

It's the kind of thing you offer after a few drinks, or maybe throw out there for giggles, but you get them a Goddamn real gift because they are damn near American royalty. You are worth millions; get them one big ass Crate & Barrel gift certificate. C'mon man.

Now, this is all just alleged and maybe he actually got them a platinum mini Ferrari for Suri to run over the Paparazzi with. Here's hoping.

Now if you'll excuse me I have to prepare my "free backrub" coupons for momma.

This is so weird I had to post it. This will be the only time I speak of this sham marriage. We have lost Joey Potter forever. I wonder what Dawson thinks about all of this.

The TomKat Wedding: It's Finally Over!

Well, those two crazy kids actually went and got themselves married. This Saturday, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were joined in holy matrimony at Odescalchi Castle outside of Rome. There were over 150 guests in attendance, including Victoria Beckham, Brooke Shields, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, and Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey.

Katie's father escorted her down the aisle, and the ceremony was performed at sunset by a Scientology minister (read about traditional Scientology wedding vows here). The wedding party included Cruise's children, Isabella and Connor, and the best man was Cruise's best friend, David Miscavige, who also happens to be the head of the Church of Scientology. Katie's sister, Nancy Blaylock, was her matron of honor. The wedding singer was Matt Lauer. Nah, I'm kidding, it was Andrea Bocelli. I hear there was a light drizzle at the start of the ceremony, but then things cleared up for the couple.

Since I honestly don't understand enough of these words to paraphrase the description of what Katie wore, I am going to jack it, word for tedious word, from Us Weekly: "Katie wore a fitted Armani off-the-shoulder bridal gown with a train in ivory silk cadis adorned in Valenciennes lace and Swarovski beaded crystal embroidery, featuring a delicate crinoline frill at the shoulders and a silk soleil border around the hem. The gown was complemented by an ivory tulle floor length veil and ivory silk shoes." If this sounds more like a recipe for a wedding cake to you, too, just check out the pics. For the rest of you fashionistas, People has a run-down of what the entire wedding party wore (summary: everyone's in Armani). Need more pictures? TMZ has one billion, and Teddy and Moo has the rest.

Tom and Katie left early the next morning for their honeymoon in the Maldives. Where are the Maldives? Apparently they're an island nation south-west of Sri Lanka. Where is Sri Lanka? Now you're on your own.

The First TomKat Wedding Photos

These are shots of the guests leaving their hotel to catch shuttles to the actual wedding site.

Victoria Beckham has apparently decided to skip the Cruise/Holmes vows altogether, opting instead to attend some manner of funeral being held by the cast of Melrose Place.

To celebrate Cruise's virility, Jennifer Lopez has dressed as a penis.

More later...

IT'S TOO LATE FOR KATIE HOLMES!

Rumor has it that TomKat officially tied the knot last night in an Italian civil ceremony, complete with their little Asian baby in tow. They will still have their Oprah-less wedding this weekend, but THE DAMAGE IS ALREADY DONE!!

Oh, Joey Potter. How lovely you once were.

Chantilly Lace and a Hypnotized Face

I don't know that I want to turn into EvilBeet's official CruiseKat guy but the stories seem to be calling to me. Here's a fun tidbit, Katie just dropped three large on some lingerie. Included in the windfall:

1) A $340 thong
2) Matching robe trimmed with ostrich feathers that set her back $620
3) A lace bra with Swarovski crystals for $380 and matching thong with crystals for $175

Now admittedly I don't know a ton about thongs but aren't they um.. well not much fabric? What would cost $340? Does it come with equipment? Also, why are we killing ostriches? Isn't it shame enough that they can't fly?

Finally, I would like to put the Crystal thong on my personal Christmas wish list. I think I deserve it.

Michelle Trachtenberg and DJ AM? In my mind, this is the definitive answer to "Which B-list celebs do you care about the absolute least?" But apparently they're also banging. [A Socialite's Life]

Don't Do It Joey Potter!

We are four days away from America's sweetheart, Tom Cruise, giving up his flower one more time. This here link from ABC has a delightful sneak peek at the vows which are so awesome they must be broken down. They are as follows:

"Now Tom, girls need clothes and food and tender happiness and frills. A pan, a comb, perhaps a cat."

I should mention this is not fake in the slightest, this is what Tom really will say "Hail Xenu" to. A gal needs frills! To quote a British friend of mine "Luvs It!' Also, perhaps a cat? L. Ron, why not just lay it down, she either needs a cat or she doesn't man.

Here is what Katie will say "uh-huh" to:

"Hear well, sweet Katie. … For promise binds. Young men are free and may forget. Remind him then that you may have necessities and follies, too."

Okay, so Hubbard was a writer but he couldn't quite get the spirit of the word "folly" correct. A girl may be prone to folly, but I've never heard of follies. Okay, I just checked it out at Merriam-Webster and although it's a word I'm still mildly pissed off about the usage. I'd further note that if Tommy is still a young man at the tender age of 44 I look forward to many years of forgetting to buy cats my own self.

If these two crazy kids can't make it what chance do the rest of us have? The answer, sadly, is none because most of us are kinda-sorta on prescription medication and will never make it to the 42nd level of blinding light or whatever Cruise is up to now.

The Tom Cruise Dress-Up Game

From our friends over at Heavy. Check it out.

Tom Cruise Jumps off Couch, Lands at United Artists

Tom Cruise will be bringing his special brand of crazy to United Artists, parent company MGM announced Thursday. Cruise and his longtime producing partner, Paula Wagner, have taken a "substantial minority stake" in the company, where Wagner will serve as CEO and Cruise will have the authority to greenlight and star in the big-screen adaptations of every L. Ron Hubbard novel John Travolta missed.

"You've got the studios accusing talent of driving up the cost of doing business and the talent accusing the studios of being political bureaucracies," says MGM chairman and CEO Harry Sloan. "We think if we can create a talent-friendly studio, owned by artists, then we can come up with a new financial model."

Cruise was booted in August from his former home at Paramount, after Viacom crypt-keeper Sumner Redstone insisted Cruise's off-screen antics were hurting the bottom line on his movies. His arrival at UA marks a return to the artist-run business model on which the studio was originally founded.

TomKat's Crazy Will Now Be Legal

Tom and Katie's rep have now confirmed that their wedding will be November 18th in Italy. I'm glad for Katie since she already got brainwashed and knocked up in the course of a year while waiting in vain for her big wedding. They have been engaged since June 2005, so this wedding has been "in the works" for some time. I wish them well even though I find Tom Cruise super creepy.

I wonder if the guests will dress as aliens? Seriously if anyone knows what a Scientology wedding entails please shoot me an email.
