It's for real, we swear

TOKYO - One of Hollywood’s hottest couples may be having difficulty persuading the public their romance is genuine, but actress Katie Holmes says that her love for screen star Tom Cruise is real. “I couldn’t be happier. I’m so happy,” Holmes said on her way into the world premiere of her latest movie “Batman Begins”. “He’s the most amazing man in the whole world,” she told Reuters in Tokyo on Tuesday. Cruise, 42, has also made no secret of his interest in the 26-year-old, until recently most famous for her role in TV series “Dawson’s Creek”. In a recent interview with Oprah Winfrey, Cruise shed his cool image to enthuse about the relationship, prompting many U.S. commentators to question whether it was a publicity stunt aimed at promoting movies both stars were appearing in. Cruise is starring in Steven Spielberg’s “War of the Worlds”, due for release in June. People magazine recently ran an unscientific poll showing that nearly two thirds of people questioned believed the Cruise-Holmes relationship was a stunt. [MSNBC] In other Tomkat news...
