From Antony : I think everyone should mind their own business. Who are you to judge other human beings. Instead you could spend that time on self improvement. But I guess you have some issues and you have to get it out right? I feel sorry for you. You must be in so much pain, but what ever you think or say, it deosn't really matter what you and I think does it. These people are not politicians, they can become a recluse and live well for the rest of their lives if they want, so what ever we think really doesn't impact their life too much. From Joey : It's my opinion that there really is a relationship between them, whether or not it's as serious as the media makes it out to be i don't know. Katie is, as we all know, a very private person when it comes to her personal life. I'ts odd to me that she came right out with this one, especially when Batman is so close (hmmm) However, I do give Katie tons of credit and i don't think that she would be so shallow as to start a relationship on carrer purposes. So, i belive that Katie and Tom decided to start a relationship because they both needed someone and some sparks flew, and i think they came out with it so quick for publicity purposes. In which case, she didn't do anything wrong. From Derek : I Love Katie Holmes, but this really kills me. I thought she was different from all of the other Hollywood stars, but now I'm having questions. Chris Klein was a good relationshiop, lasted for 5 years, and she should have moved on. But then a couple weeks later it was Josh hartnett, and she was seen with other guys too, then Tom Cruise all in a matter of a month and a half. I think this is a publicity stunt because she doesnt want to get known as little "Joey Potter" anymore. She wants to get in the limelight because she really hasnt done anything since dawson's Creek ended. All of her movies have bombed and she wants to make sure people dont forget about her, she wants to seem more adult, if you ask me. From Helene : Have loved watching Katie since her early Dawson's Creek days and have to say that I think it is a Publicity Stunt. In all the pics/videos they have shown of their "Roman Holiday", Katie seems in awe of Tom, always deferring to him and smiling, smiling, smiling...Just seems like a scripted PR exercise. Surprised that Katie would go through with it, though....I assumed she was too "real" to put on such a public spectacle of herself. Just doesn't seem like a "real" relationship...if it WAS one, wouldn't they want to keep it pure and private as long as possible, since they both know how invasive the press can be. For whatever reason, they both WANT/CRAVE/ARE BEGGING FOR this attention. Just seems really STRANGE. We will all have to wait and see! :) From Jonathan : I think it may be love. First of all, Tom is not the person to need any publicity. He is who he is, Tom Cruise. Also, Katie does not strike me as the type to lend herself for something like that. It could be love. An example would be Katherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglass. They are not letting the age difference get in the way of their happiness. I truly hope that TomKat is for real. They make a wonderful couple together. From April : All I can say is this, of all the women he could've picked, he picked someone too young for his level of experience. From Caroline : I gotta say, I'm happy for Katie. Yes, the whole thing is superweird but she's living out a fantasy. It doesn't matter if it's a publicity stunt or the real thing. I think what's important is that she's happy. Good Luck Katie! From Dani : Publicity Stunt. Absolutely stinks of it. Seems to be that Tom was a little jealous of all the coverage Brad was receiving regarding his Angelina affair. And it is more than a coincidence that both Tom and Katie have movies coming out in June; "Batman Begins" is released 2 weeks before "War of the worlds". And both Katie and Tom NEED the publicity. Tom's last 3 films have done poorly at the box office as have Katie's since leaving Dawson's Creek; every single film she has head-lined have been flops (hard as that is to admit). Finally; the TomKat relationship only started when Tom's publicist sister announced it; before then Katie was linked to Josh Hartnett and depending which tabloid you read; Tom was hooking up again with Nicole or starting something with model Sofia .V. It's a publicity stunt. And I am really quite stunned and dissapointed in Katie for stooping so low. From Gina : I think Tom Cruise is in denial and is still deeply in love with Nicole Kidman...that's what I think. These little liasons he has been having (although I think Penelope Cruz is a class act, and that Tom is somewhat arrogant), are just his way of showing others that his life is in control. But I don't think it is. Sorry Tom...some people can read between the lines. From Jenny : I think there is definitely a strong attraction: Tom's Venus is in Leo which strongly lures the Sagittarius Sun and Katie's Venus is in Scorpio which is in compatible element with Tom's Sun in Cancer. So, hence we have here a Sun-Venus Cross attraction. In the past, I've seen lots of rabbit/goat or rabbit/pig coupling to suggest that chinese astrologically, they are very compatible: Tom's a Tiger who gets along best with Dogs or Horse which is Katie's animal sign. I believe their love is genuine and I hope it'll last. From Adi : As much as I love Katie and I want to see her happy.It's just doesn't sound logical to me, from all aspects. So In my opinion it's a publicity stunt, purely because of their upcoming movies. And I'm sure that after a short period of time, after the movies's release, they'll both split up! From Jen : I don't really know if I care too much about why it's happening. Honestly, I don't know if it's a publicity stunt or not, but it really really seems like one. I dare anyone to find ONE picture of her and Chris, or even Josh, kissing in public...and now there's pictures AND video of it with Tom? Something isn't right... But if it is true, I suppose he just brings out something in her that neither of them ever did...and if that is the case, more power to her. If I can't have Katie and Josh, Katie and Tom is okay. If she is happy, I'm happy for her. You go, girl. From Melba : I think it's quite unexpected, but it's beautiful how they complement each other. A match made in heaven, a prayer answered for a young girl who wanted to marry the star she always dreamed about. I say this is it for the two of them, at least I hope. They look great together! From Kathy : It's a publicity stunt. This popped up out of the woodwork too quick. As most people know when you're in a brand new relationship you love telling how you first met and I've yet to hear that story. Because, I'm afraid there isn't one at least not a good one made up by the publicity handlers that everyone can agree on! Wonder what Josh thinks?! From Desiree : I think this whole thing is a publicity stunt like, I'm sure alot of people do,ok first, based on her previous relationships. She's always kept private now all of a sudden she's dating Tom Cruise for 2 weeks and it's all over the place. She dated Chris for 5 years, not once have I seen them give that much PDA on the red carpet like her and Tom have been giving lately.I give this 2 months tops. Also I dont think she should jump in a serious relationship so soon after Chris. It's a train wreck waiting to happen. Lately, she's becoming the real life version of her tv persona Joey Potter, who wasn't single for no more that 2 seconds: first Paul, Josh and now Tom. She should stay single for a a while. From Denise : Well, really I believe if they bring each other happiness even if it’s not forever, then they should go for it. Life is short and they obviously have an attraction. But on her part I’m wondering if its a girlhood fantasy she is living out. From Sandra : Katie can do so much better than Tom! He has proven himself to be a cheater in the past and will most likely repeat it again. I don't think the age thing is that big of a deal, but after what Tom did to Nicole I have no respect for him at all. Katie, move on! From Jen : I think it's great. Chris Klein is not very hot and Katie and Tom are both gorgeous. Rock on to them! They would make beautiful babies. From Jess : Here's my theory on this relationship: It seems like Katie and Tom wanted to get together for awhile until Chris and Katie broke up. I mean if you think about it, isn't all this moving really fast? With Chris' DUI, it seems like they must have a few problems. I think Tom and Katie are for real, I mean, in videos she seems really happy. There may be a 20 year age difference, but if they're in love, that's all that matters. Career wise, hmm...I think it actually might help her because Tom has a lot of connections and now that he's gonna be in a Steven Spielberg film, who knows what may come up? But I'm not saying she's using him, I'm just saying through being together, they might help each other out. From Alyce : Well, sorry but I have to admit that, at first, I was pretty grossed out about Katie/Tom, but now I feel differently. Katie is pretty sensible, as her Dad said, and she does seem to be very happy with Tom, so I'm really happy for her. I hope for her sake that she's not just rebounding into this relationship but I don't think it's a publicity stunt. I could be wrong, but Katie doesn't seem that shallow. From Fanny : I think it's just public stunt. But, if there's love maybe it'll just hang on for a while. You know what I mean, Katie just can't take all of those publicity like that. She said that she need a break from the spotlight, and now she's dating Tom Cruise? Not a pretty way out I think. But once again, who knows what in their (Tom and Katie) minds, right? From Via : I think the romance is real :) I've been following Katie Holmes' career for quite some time now and I think she has what it takes to make it big in Hollywood. With batman and a couple more films in the can I’m sure she's be an a-lister within the year. So she really won't be needing any 'stunt', as others call it, because she can make it on her own. Honestly I don't like tom cruise. The only movie of him that I’ve enjoyed watching was 'Interview With the Vampire', simply because Antonio Banderas was there. And I’m under the impression that his past relationships weren't real, because it was always timed with his current movie where his 'girlfriend' was his leading lady. So I’ve never believed in any of his romances. Until now. I’ve read a lot of articles that say their relationship was just a way of boosting each other's career. As I’ve said, Katie Holmes doesn't need it. One article said that tom does need it, because he isn't as credible in the box office as before. but I was thinking, if this is Tom's way of putting himself in the spotlight again, why Katie Holmes? Why not some actress with an Academy Award nomination, say, Natalie Portman (okay, I know he likes tall women, but it's just an example). Besides, they aren't having a movie together. The whole Tom-Penelope while promoting 'Vanilla Sky' (even the current Brad-Angelina thing) just wasn't believable. But this one is, because there's no way anyone could have thought about it. Even I was surprised when I first heard it. And lastly, I think Katie Holmes is one of the very few actresses today who's got a good head on her shoulders (I’m quoting her dad, because I believe it too). She seems like a decent sort, and she has always kept a clean record. I guess she deserves a good romance like this. All in all, I think Katie is the biggest winner here. Whatever comes out of this relationship will surely take her to the Hollywood a-list faster than she can say 'scientologist'. From Jennifer : I really hope Tomkat is for real, because, if it isn't, it could backfire and hurt Katie's career. The whole thing seems rushed and staged. Tom Cruise is extremely private, so why would he announce the relationship so publicly just after two weeks of dating. But I suppose that if you meet someone special and you're so taken with them, you'd want the whole world to know. I love Katie and I wish her well but I hope she doesn't get hurt by Tom the way Nicole did. From Melinda : It will certainly better her career. He is too old for her... and I didn't really know who she was, really until now. From Kadiyah : I was honestly shocked about TomKat. It's like Brad (Pitt) and Gwyneth (Paltrow) all over again (mega star dates B-list actress). Kat's usually a private person and so is Tom. I don't think it's a publicity stunt...Tom Cruise doesn't NEED to have someone (a girlfriend) to promote his movies, just his name alone makes people want to see his films. Katie is a celeb in her own right. Why should they hide their romance? The media will just harass them and speculate until they confess. I think they look cute together. Hopefully, Katie's careful because Tom is a HUGE star, anyone she dates after this (unless it's Brad Pitt) pales in comparison. From Shinta : I think they're such an adorable couple, I used to think that there's no other guy than Josh for Katie but after seeing her with Tom, I think they're more than perfect... They look very in love, it's so obvious. The way Tom looks at Katie is very sweet, and publicity stunt? No way, this is the real thing, how could they make such stories like that, I mean, even a blind man can see it's real and it's Katie, it's no way she sells herself out for publicity stunt, and Tom? Why does he need a publicity stunt for, he's 42 and he needs someone to stand by for him for the rest of his life, he won't go try for it, such a wasting time for him plus he's the number uno man in Hollywood...I love do happens in Hollywood... ;p From Tine : Hello! I think it's real love between them, and not a publicity stunt!!! The age is also not important - I mean, Katie isn't a teenager anymore. She became a really beautiful woman, and Tom is a great man for her;-) They are a wonderful couple and I'm happy for them. A lot of people say, Katie isn't enough for Tom, because she isn't known in Hollywood.. That's stupid - she's known thought and made some great movies! She's known all over the world, even in small countries like mine. I wish you all the best, and may your relationship last for even:-) From Camile : I think that their relation will not last, and that Katie is not really in love. It is right a small story of love which will finish quickly because he is too much old for her. I'm a French girl so excuse me for my English ... xoxo for Katie and Tom ( Katie, I love you ! ) From Karen : I don't know if it's real. The only 2 people who know that are themselves. But I do wish them lots of happiness and love in this very cynical world. They seem happy and that is all that matters to me. From Emily : I think this is just crazy. She is 25-he is 42.He is just playing with her. Look how many women he has been with. He was the same way with Penelope and Nicole. Of course she is excited and thinks It’s for real but I don't think it will last long. Maybe a year or two but no longer than that. From C Liddell : I personally don't see a problem with this relationship. There are reltionships that have come and gone in the public eye and age not be a factor. Katie Homes is a beautiful person, so why shouldn't she get one of the better looking guys in Hollywood. In my opinion he has made a better choice that the last significant girlfriend (Penelope Cruz). To me they look like a good match appearance wise anyway. From Kimmy : Why would the relationship between Katie and Tom affect Katie's career? Is it because of the age? Well, if it is, then it is just ridiculous. Did it affect Celine Dion's career when she married her long time manager? No, it didn't. The relationship between the two is so amazing. I see the pictures and feel that there is chemistry between those two. They are cute together. They shouldn't care what other people think. The others can say whatever they want to say. If they are in love, then let them be in love. No one can say who you can date or marry. It is up to themselves to figure out who is 'the one.' From Barbel : Hi everyone, I don't know what to think. It's really a surprise. I hope that is true, but is weird they Tom says he's in love when they're dating just for a few weeks. We haven't heard anything and then suddenly they go to Rome and exhibit their love at any place they go. That's what I think people believes is not real, because it's so fast. I really hope they are truly in love, and if they are happy, all Katie fans will be too, and we'll be waiting for more info and pictures of them together. But, sorry, I don't think they look good as a couple, and I guess it's a matter of time. Though I hope Katie's dreams about marrying Tom come true, I think there'll be no engagement this time. From Sharon : Tom Cruise looks really happy with her, but he is forty two and even though he looks great , there might be some kind of middle life crisis going on. On the other hand I think Katie Holmes is a very tasteful artist which it makes them together a great combination. Everything could be publicity though, because they are both in upcoming movies so , it is hard to tell. Ask me how long would they last? Uncertain, in ten years she might be a totally different person, so will he. It is hard to tell. From Gabriela : For me it looks like they are really happy to be together!!!It really seems like something real! I don't think its publicity stunt, but of course that will affect Katie career's, Tom is a megastar and everybody likes to talk about celebrity's romances... Just time can tell us the truth, but they seem very happy together!!! and in the end that is all the matters... From Maite : Well, I’m a huge Katie fan, I’ve always loved her acting and found her very special. I really see her happy with Tom, and he really seems into her. I would never picture Katie doing a celebrity stunt, so no, I don't believe that story. Anyway I think that we are just overreacting, ok she's dating a huge worldwide known star, but it's still Katie. I hope she enjoys this experience, that she learns from it (aka dealing with the press) but that's about it, she's a huge star by now so she should focus on her career to try to became an A lister. Anyway I don't see them getting married or anything, I’d say that Katie will marry a young normal man not in so many years time. From Virginie : Well, if they are happy, that is great. Now, I don't want to say that I know Katie, aside from what we read, and stuff like that, and I certainly don't know Tom Cruise,I have seen 2 or 3 movies with him in it. But I can't help thinking all of this is weird and at the same time thinking, well, good for them. Why it is good: they are two actors who met each other and fall in love. They won't be the first actors who happen to have this kind of story. Now what the press is telling about this that the 16 years apart, what ? It is not so weird. 65% of men over 40 have girlfriend above 30 years old. I mean, girls are more mature than men, so, at the end older men fall for younger ones, the balance is kept (smile...) No , what I find kind of weird, besides the all Katie always said she liked a guy taller that her, blablabla, is all the press and photos around them. She has always been kind of mute and discreet about her life, I heard he was too, and suddenly you have more phots of them together, kissing and hanging than in all Katie's love affair with Chris and Tom' ones with Penelope. Now, I can thing off something not genuine from them. again, I don't know them but what I really thing is that he is really in love or at leat on owe with her, and her, well, he is Tom Cruise...big crush, big star...now what they will be in the future...nobody could know, not even them, not even us. From Linda : I have been a Katie Holmes fan for a long time. If she is happy with this relationship, than good for her and I hope it works out, but I do have a bad feeling about this relationship. The age difference, his divorces, his kids, he just doesn't seem like her type. I think she would be better off with someone her own age and someone taller!!! I hope she can handle all the publicity that comes with dating Tom. Best of luck to you Katie. From Natalie : Okay, so first of all, GO KATIE!! Nice catch, babe!! Secondly, if this is a publicity stunt, they are doing one hell of a good acting job!! Thirdly, I don't think it is! (at least I hope not) if you watched the Extra interview with Tom, he was sooo giddy! Too happy for words!! I've never seen him like that!! Lastly, if it is a publicity stunt, WHO CARES?? Katie Holmes is dating Tom Cruise, no matter what the reason!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't explain the sudden desire to be all lovey dovey and open about their relationship, in public. But I've also never agreed with celebrities who keep their romances on the DL. We’re going to find out anyway, people!!!!!! Oh, and how people are saying that "why would Tom Cruise go for Katie Holmes?" Yes, it is random, but I thought the same thing when Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt hooked up! She was famous, but it wasn't until she married him, that she freaking exploded!! And Brad was a private guy too, but he really opened up being with J! En!! so, the conclusion to my little rant is this, enjoy it while it lasts, Kate! I didn't think I could admire or envy you anymore and you have proved me wrong!! Good for you!! From Ali : I love them togehter, maybe a little weird at first. But hey if they like each other, then who are we to judge?! From Melissa : Hi everyone, I think the fact that people think its a publicity stunt is ridiculous. It's obvious that both Tom and Katie are on Cloud 9 and extremely happy and excited to be with each other. I have never seen either one of them so happy. They are both very lucky. Especially, Katie! From Zoey : From what i've read.. the publicity stunt thing sounds very convincing- but hey- it's our Katie- I don't think she'll do that kinda thing.. I wish them luck and lots of hapiness! From Pam : A business meeting by Tom Cruise and them a romance???I adore Katie but even thought this is exposure for her, I think it is a publicity stunt. I dont like her to be used by anyone and this just cant be for real...He has been around toooo much. From Tina : I think that if they are together because they like each other than that's great. I also think that Katie is not the type of person that would pull something like this as a publicity stunt. I'm sure that we have had a crush with Tom Cruise at one point in our life and she obviously did and now she's actually with him. How cool is that. Plus, she's not the one who initiated it he did. He asked her out not the other way around. So, I say you go girl. Best of luck. From Ali : Initially, when I heard of the "romance" between Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes and I removed my jaw from the floor, the first thing out of my mouth was "Where did this come from???" The next thing..."Oh, it's a publicity stunt". Seeing some of the reports on the TV and reading the oh so many articles that have come about in the past 48 hours, everything is jumbled together. But I can say one thing: Both Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes look very happy. If it's a publicity stunt, then this will definitely jolt Katie Holmes to a higher pinnacle in Hollywood. For Tom Cruise, the extra publicity might help revive his star status. I have always thought he was a handsome man, but his "star" has been a little lack luster. Now if this is the "real thing", then everybody start your engines. This is going to be one interesting ride. From Cass : I am extremely happy for Tom and Kate. I am fan of both of them and from watching previous interviews, I think they are two of the most genuine people in Hollywood and all rumors of this being one big publicity stunt are false. I especially loved the Extra interview because you could really see that Tom was head over heels for Katie and I've never seen her smile and laugh so much. Who cares about age? They are both clearly in love and make a lovely couple!!! From EBF : I just think it's interesting that one of the articles mentioned something about them being represented by the same agency...publicity stunt? How could it not be? From Astrid : When I saw the first pictures of this hot new couple, I was "shocked". Wauw, now she dates Tom Cruise!!! Well done :-) But when I saw them again, they seemed really happy. I know this kind of smiles and it's the smile of two young "kids" totally crazy about each other. When I am totally in love with someone, I also have this huge smile. I really loved it to see this smile on their faces. I hope it will last a long time and that they are really happy... (I'm from Europe, I don't speak English often, so I'm sorry if my English isn't so well...) From Nia : Hi everyone, I think this is an obvious publicity stunt to move Katie up to a list status and to get people to forget that Tom Cruise is 42 and that he's still a young profitable actor. I am convinced that there is no romance in this relationship at all. I expect this from tom cruise but I’m a little surprised that Katie is willing to go along with this(if my opinion is correct)! From Sara : I think they are a perfect couple! At the beginning I was surprised, I didn't know what to say...but, I'm Italian (excuse me for my English) and I've watched David of Donatello on TV, they seem to be very happy...and I'm happy for Katie. My only regret is that she was (and maybe she still is) in Rome, at 2 hours car from me, and I couldn't be there! From Joey : It's my opinion that there really is a relationship between them, whether or not it's as serious as the media makes it out to be i don't know. Katie is, as we all know, a very private person when it comes to her personal life. I'ts odd to me that she came right out with this one, especially when Batman is so close (hmmm) However, I do give Katie tons of credit and i don't think that she would be so shallow as to start a relationship on carrer purposes. So, i belive that Katie and Tom decided to start a relationship because they both needed someone and some sparks flew, and i think they came out with it so quick for publicity purposes. In which case, she didn't do anything wrong. From Sindy : Wow :-) I think Tom and Katie are a very nice and lovely couple - and as long as both of them are happy (and I think they are!!) it's a wonderful time for both and the fans should be lucky for them. As far as i'm concerned - i am very happy for them. Tom is a good person and Katie just deserves to be happy. I hope some of you will share my opinion. Good luck Katie and Tom Sindy From Emily : I honestly can not belive that Katie Holmes would be involved in a publicity stunt. She was so private about her previous relationship, I can not imagine she would change that much. And I think only time will tell with this. Both Katie and Tom have a history of long term relationships, and I beleive this is only the beggining! From Erika : Well I was a bit "Oh my God!" when I saw the first pics of Katie and Tom together! I think Tom is a bit old for Katie but if they are happy together, I' m happy about it, too! Erika From LWood : I'm sorry but I think that this relationship is being created for the media From Rachelle : I think if they are happy together then that's great. I was sad when Tom and Nicole broke up and always hoped they would find their way back together but that hasn't happened yet and it looks like they have both moved on?? I wish them all the best! From katiefan : Ok.... on an attraction level I get it. She is beautiful, humble, and mysterious in that she does not disclose her personal life... all of which combined with her building career make her a great catch. And most women who are attracted to men have watched Tom Cruise in movies and probably dreamed of what it might be like to date him... so I get why Katie would be taking this opportunity as well. But for real??? Fun for a while I think, and yeah, bonus for Katie cause she will get mega media for this, but I can't see this lasting more than a few months. Flash in the pan... but you go girl. From Shalinda : I think they are both as cute as can be! I don't think Katie would take all the publicity if she didn't really like him. She was right about Tom being every girl's dream. I am 25 and I would jump at the chance!!! As for the age difference I think Demi and Cameron have already cleared that obstacle. I wish them the best of luck! From Keri : I think that although Katie and Tom might have feelings for each other, it is still some sort of hoax because she was with Chris for 5 years nd it is almost impossible to find even 1 picture of them kissing or even hugging...and now all of a sudden KHP is flooding with pictures of Katie and Tom Cruise kissing when they have only been together a few weeks...i don't know, but it seems a little weird if you ask me From Jen : I think that they make an okay couple. I guess it takes a while to get used to because it came out of the blue and happened so fast. They are both good looking and as long as they make each other happy, they shouldn't care what others think especially those mean newspaper articles. I think I will grow to like them as a couple as long as it's not for a publicity stunt and is genuine because then if it is a publicity stunt then I will be disappointed. From Thomas : I am astonished to say the least. Katie has gone about her career in a deliberate fashion, that is keeping her private life, private. Her involvement with Tom Cruise has ended that aspect of her life. I am a bit suspicious as to the timing of this relationship, hopefully it is for the right reason and not some publicity stunt. I do think that a sixteen year difference in age and two divorces to boot do not make her relationship that of one that will last. From Michelle : Katie and Tom?? I have been a fan of Katie's since the begining of DC, and this just doesn't seem like her. With Chris Klein and Josh Jackson see seemed very private with her relationship, now she is kissing and flaunting all over the press? I wonder what Josh thinks about all this? (I still hoped that maybe the two of them would get back together!!) And who did she talk this over with??? I couldn't imagine her making the decision without chatting to someone first "oh my gosh Tom Cruise just ask me out!!!!", and yet her best friend has not talked to her about it. Whoever she did talk to it would have been an interesting conversation!!! :) But the bottom line is...Tom Cruise to her, would be like Brad Pitt to me, and if he came up and asked me out- there is no way i would say no!!! I think she is living out her dream, and good for her!! I just hope it doesn't come crashing down for her. From Jessica : Personally, my first reaction was literally...WTF?!?! I was shocked to say the least, but then seeing pictures of them together it kind of freaked me out. Probably because Tom is a much older guy and he seems to love all the camera's where Katie keeps to herself. Could it be love? Sure. Could it be for a publicity stunt? Yup. Personally I hope it is a publicity stunt because I just don't see them together at all! Even though they are both act, they are still worlds apart in my eyes. Katie is the more girl next door type and Tom is the one loving all the attention. But on the contrary, it is great that Katie is out dating again. I would love to see her date someone more around her age. From Roberta : Well, I love Tom Cruise and I like Katie Holmes and by the pictures and the videos of the two, it looks like they are both happy. At first I got a little shocked, but later I got used to the idea of them together. I like it. And they look happy, very happy. And well done Katie! From Alex : I am happy for both of them. I am a tom cruise fan not actually a katie holmes fan but when I learned that they are dating, I looked at the pictures of katie and she is so beatiful. I seldom watch dawson's creek and before I did not find katie attractive, but today I find her very very beautiful and I have read she is a very nice person too. Looking at the couples pictures here at KHP, I can say that they are both happy and they are sweet. All I can say is that I hope their relationship will last and I wish them to be happy.... From Ana : Pure and simple - a well though-out publicity stunt. As successful as Tom Cruise is, he certainly has been denied the spotlight, especially when someone like Jamie Foxx outshines him in a flick. And unless you're a die-hard Tom Cruise fan and follow his ever move, who knew he was getting this lifetime achievement award in Rome? As for Katie, she's transcending WB starlet to major motion picture actress. And although I would have preferred she continued doing so by carefully choosing roles and behaving like the classy lady she's grown into, I believe she's been misguided here by here rep firm (which I understand happens to be the same as Cruise's). All in all, it certainly has been an entertaining week. All harmless fun for us. Hopefully it won't be too harmful for Katie's career, which has such amazing potential without all of this hoopla. From Julie : Hey everyone! My first reaction was shock because I've basically followed Katie, her career, her life and everything since she began Dawson's Creek. I've suppose I am one of those ultra-annoying people that I often complain about that associates a fictional character's personality and beliefs with their off-screen-alter-ego's personality and beliefs, so I was a little thrown off kilter by Kate's very un-Joey like choice to so-called "hook up" with Tom. However, the more I think about it and the more I see pictures, videos and articles on the subject, the more I realize how fun it actually is. I cannot, in any way, make myself hate the fact that they're together. I mean, if this is where both of them are in their lives, then it's cool. I think that if he likes her enough to ask her out on a date and she's always had a thing for him (Okay, this does bug me: That quote by her from Seventeen magazine is, of course it is true, but it's taken out of context! Stop making it a big d! eal!), then I say go for it! I can't wait to see what happens, I hope it lasts! Thanks! From KLR : Katie has been building a successful career without Tom Cruise and will continue to do so whether or not this relationship works out. Her profile has been raised from this relationship but that is about all she will get from it besides being with someone she cares about. I don't believe it is a publicity stunt. It makes no sense at all to me why people would say that because a stunt like that would not help either of their movies at the box office. People will go to their movies if they are interested in seeing the movie period. In fact if they were pulling a publicity stunt it could backfire with them getting overexposed and people getting sick of them before their movies open. Look no further than Bennifer and the disaster that was Gigli. All I know is that Tom and Katie seem to be really enjoying each other's company and for however long it lasts I wish them luck. From Meg : I'm SOOOOOOOOO ecstatic they're together. I've always adored Katie Holmes & hoped that one day she'll end up with someone with enough power to be able to give her her everything she wishes. I love Tom so far. From MLW : It's either a publicity stunt as its been speculated or I think Katie has fallen cluelessly for a teenage dream. I have a lot of respect for her but I hope she hasn't fallen into a love trap to where she is living out this old fantasy and he is thriving on the attention for his career & for his pride since he has slipped from the limelight of the celebrity men. He isn't regarded as highly as Ashton Kutcher, Matthew McConaughey or Josh Hartnett. I just hope she doesn't get hurt and embarrassed in the long run. I do think this has helped her career-wise but personally, I'm not quite sure. From kathy : I think that it is great that Katie is happy. She should be with someone that makes her happy. I never really saw her spark with Chris. So go Katie. From jess : I dont think either person would date someone for the press. Katie is kinda reclusive, she dated Chris for five years and Tom has been married twice. I know they're a new couple but who really kisses that much. It just seems a lil fake too me. From Alex : This is a publicity stunt. Katie's dad said on a Toledo news channel that they met in a business meeting. The business was... Let's ACT like we are dating so we can bring exposure to both our movies this Summer. It's not like they are gong to get married or anything he is a scientologist and she and her family are VERY Catholic From Kadie : I absolutely love Katie I think she is so beautiful but i gotta say this is just weird! I dont think he is her type and plus what shocked me was she always wanted to keep everything very private she had to know what was going to happen being with Tom so I was kinda thinking that it was a publicity stunt for her to get more adult roles but I hontestly don't think she would do that at all. But she has to be careful because i've seen a couple news articles saying she wouldnt say anything to the camaras so you know some people are gonna be saying stuff about that. Honestly I just want her happy and dont want people making stuff up about her because she is so sweet! - Kadie From David : It's just so weird! I must say that eventhough none of us know Ms Holmes or Mr Cruise personally, it does seem a bit too quick and a bit too convenient. Don't get me wrong I'm all for romance but I think that it is very strange that they are so mushy mushy in front of the cameras. Celebs usually keep those things on the down low. I don't know if this is a publicity stunt or if it's for real. As for the alegations regarding that the guy is the real deal I doubt it very much I just think that if there is really a "relationship" that she's just having fun and living a dream, but she'll have to wake up sometime soon. I like Tom Cruise I think he´s a good actor but his famous smile just seems fake to me in those interviews and she kind of looks nervious and kind of unconfortable showing these displays of affection in front of the cameras, she looks like a pretty reserved king of gal. To finish up, I don't really like chris klein I didn't like them as a couple, but I do feel for the guy, he must be going through a bad moment. From Rick : What a handsome couple! Both are insanely attractive and they have two of the best million dollar smiles in the business. I think she has found someone in her league now, age differences notwithstanding. Katie’s character, maturity, intelligence and personality should be sufficient to close that gap quickly. Tom seems to be completely enamored with Katie. Who could possible blame him? I cannot imagine this being a publicity stunt. The fallout past their next movies would far outweigh what minimal reward they could possibly achieve. Although she is an A-lister in my book, she is definitely on everyone's top list now. She did not need a trumped up romantic liaison to justify her competence as an actress. I do not think she would do it in the first place. From Lenny : I worry about this whole Tom Cruise thing when I consider Katie's current state of personal and career development. TC is a great short term career move for her. She will now get roles she would normally not be offered. But, she will now also really be in the glare of the world spotlight. If she does well, she will become a really big star overnight. If she doesn't, she will be unmercifully trashed and become a worldwide laughing stock. The long term problem with this hookup also needs to be considered. TC is a two time marriage loser, so he is a bad long term risk. If Katie plays in the fast lane, she could wind up as road kill. So, I hope that she has a good “exit strategy” ready. If the two do breakup, I want to see her pull it off as well as Nicole Kidman did. But, to do that, she will have to do really well on the big screen. But, I probably shouldn’t worry about her, when I remember “what a woman of the world she is”. (Speaking of road kill, how is "Bubbah" doing with his DUI conviction". Nasty things can happen during a breakup). Bottom line, I think that Tom Cruise may be Katie's, and many other young girl's dream man. But, she was four at the time. Unfortunately, Katie is now sweet, beautiful and famous enough to get her dreams. Katie, please GROW UP and try to find a man that measures up to your father. He may not be every young girl's dream. But, he will be a smart, successful, steady and solid family man that will always be there for just you for his entire life to make you happy. And, a happy life is what this fan, and all your fans wish for you. From Marcie : OMG! This is totally and completely crazy... Well at least from my point of view... I mean is Katie really that shy with the press? And why is Tom gushing over her like she's some kind of piece of meat... I think he's overdoing it a tad much... I think it's just a summer fling and after their movies come out then it would be over... C'mon people I mean they met because Tom's people set up a "business" meeting so he could meet Katie... How ridiculous! From Paola : I LOVE THIS RELATIONSHIP!!!! I have been the BIGGEST Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes fan (separately, of course. I was surprised to hear the news, but I was also EXTREMELY happy. I do not like people saying it is a stunt. Who cares what they say? They look extremely happy. I know they will have a happy ending. From Bonnie : It just doesn't seem like Katie to be so tacky and exhibitionist in her personal life and to be such a publicity hound? Nor, in the past, did she seem naive enough to become a candidate for an US Magazine magazine cover, in the service of fueling Tom Cruise's publicity machine or in the service of squelching the rumors that Mr. Cruise's true sexual predilections would have him much preferring the company of Dawson or Pacey to Joey. Is it possible that Katie was doing a Kevin Williamson horror flick, and the spirit of Paris Hilton has taken over her body? Paris, you slut, what have you done with our beloved Katie? Give us our quiet, dignified Toledo-bred starlet back! Time for a B-celebrity exorcism? The real Katie must still be in there somewhere! From Rebecca : Can i just say firstly I am so sick of hearing all these synic people claiming that this romance is just a publicity stunt this is clearly not the case as they look very much the loving couple and are definitly the "real deal" and Tom now knows what we already knew and that is Katie is just a beautiful person both inside and out. I hope that Katie will marry Tom Cruise (her childhood dream) as they just look adorable together. Katie & Tom 4 Eva Cheers Bec From Carla : My first thought about it was plain, pure shock (as everyone's), ocasionally thinking it was a joke. But then came the pictures and even more shockingly, they do look cute. So I'm here hoping that against all my logical thinking it is real, they are not using it for promotion (as it extremely looks like when Tom makes sure they are photographed together, or when so strangly and uncommonly I see good old Katie kissing her boyfriend of weeks in public, sitting near a window in a restaurant, seeming to totally forget her boyfriend is Tom Cruise). The age difference, the height difference are what least concern me. It's how unlikely Katie is acting that has me worried. She is going totally against what she used to be. People change, though. Another problem is that from now on, specially in another countries Katie is now, and maybe for a long time, be known as the younger Tom's girlfriend who is aspiring a movie career. You know how it sounds like and we know Katie is not like that. But as I said, she does look happy and in love, and even if it doesn't last, I hope it is real. From Kayla : I think it's great! Yay for them! It shouldn't matter to the public what they want to do. It's their life. If they are in love they are in love. It is their relationship. And if it grows we will see it. I know they are two very great people, and why dig so much into someones relationship? From Angelica : Hey KHP, I'm a big fan of Katie and thanks to KHP I heard the 'news' very fast, here in Belgium. I hope for Katie that its true, because Tom is a dream guy!! And if not, they had their fun to :-)) Keep up the good work KHP! Kisses from Belgium Angelica From Janet : Well, it's a bit strange to see them together. Like a little girl and her uncle or somethin' like that. Don't you think Katie looks like Penelope at some pictures? I really do... And look at Katie's face - you don't see love, you just see how she's proud. Of what? Or who? Just of herself! Tom is her way UPwards... I don't think it has any future at all. I like them both, but they are not the ones who should spend the rest of their lives together. From Leanne : I hate to say it but this looks like a publicity stunt to me which i find to be pretty sad. From what i know about Katie Holmes she usually likes to keep her personal life private..until now??? I do not see this lasting. Tom is a great looking man don't get me wrong..but he's just too short for her..hehe From Samantha : Well, when I first read the news, I nearly fell down of my chair. I mean, Tom and Katie??? A couple??? I think it's one of the weirdest couple of 05. And after I saw those pics, I just couldn't help myself but thought everything's like a fake show. How they acted. I never saw Katie so shy before. It's like she changed from one minute to the other. Not to forget her break-up with Chris happend not that long ago... She seems like she's acting, playing a role. I really hope I'm wrong, 'cos I love Katie and she's a great person, so if it isn't fake, GOOD LUCK YOU GUYS. =) From Carole : At first I was skeptical about the new pairing, but knowing how sincere the individuals involved are, I believe that Katie and Tom are two people who have fallen in love with each other. There is definitely a mutual attraction for one another, and it will be interesting to see how this relationship grows. The main thing is that the couple is extremely happy and are obviously enjoying their time together. All their fans wish them good luck and many wonderful memories! From Sachi : I'm a huge Katie Holmes fan that developed primarily from watching her grow-up as "Joey Potter" on Dawson's Creek. And I think the public perceives her by the roles that she plays, not her real personality. I think that the point that everyone is missing when commenting on the surprising relationship between her and Tom is that no one really knows who both are personally. It's true everyone can speculate and form their own opinions and thoughts on what her personality is like from reading magazine articles written on her or watched TV interviews, but who really knows what Katie is like? Best answer is her family and close friends. The public did not watch this girl grow up until she hit Dawson's Creek. We can read about her childhood, but it’s never as good as knowing it firsthand. From that and everything else we have ever read or heard about Katie, who are we to judge if she really is in love or doing it as a publicity stunt. We don't know what is going through her min! Same goes for Tom. Out of the hundreds and billions of stories done on him, How do we really know the real Tom? I say, let the madness die down and just watch and wait to see what happens, after all it is their lives. Their personal lives are not here to entertain us, it's their roles as actors and actress. From pinkylilie : I'm very happy to see them together! I'm a very big fan of Tom and Katie so I think it's fantastic! By the way they look very in love! I hope their relationship never ends!!! They're so cute together!!! From Shauna : I'd like to believe that all people are sincere, no matter if they are famous or not. However I believe Katie to be a genuine person. Therefore I can't see her using this whole thing as a publicity stunt, because she's never done that with any of her other relationships. As for Tom Cruise on the other hand I'm not too sure. I just wish her happiness whoever she is with. From Lina : I think Katie and Tom dating is great, they look wonderful together in the pictures. I hope it lasts. Katie seems over the moon happy and I'm glad for her. From Marsh & Jen (Mom & Daughter) : We really like Tom and Katie separately and together they seem very happy. We have some concerns though. Is he her rebound romance and is she fulfilling a childhood fantasy? Is he seeing her for all the good qualities she has or is he smitten with her youth and beauty? We want them both to be happy, but feel things are moving really fast for a girl who spent five years working towards an engagement and 14 months not setting a wedding date. Our best to them both. From Amanda : Clearly this has to be all about publicity. I think we all know how private Katie has kept her personal life in the past. For her to all of a sudden be like "hey I'm dating Tom Cruise" is ridiculous. She hasn't liked to even be photographed with Chris Klein or Josh Jackson in the past, now she's making out with Tom in public (someone who's a much MUCH bigger star than either Chris of Josh)? Yeah right, give me a break...this relationship seems a little TOO convienient! From Meg : Personally, I don't know why everyone is giving Katie such a hard time about this. She's a red-blooded female, and like the majority of red blooded females (and some males too) when Tom Cruise offers you a private jet and a romantic getaway to Rome - you take it. I'm sure Tom wasn't laughing off the opportunity to spend a weekend with one of Hollywood's most promising female actresses. They're relationship may not be "going down the aisle" material, but I do think there is some attraction there. Since when did Batman and Stephen Spielberg need publicity anyway? From Amanda V.S. : My eyes grew the size of silver dollars when I first read about Katie and Tom, but after just a couple of seconds I thought, "Alright Katie!! Go Girl!" Well, Katie isn't a publicity stunt kind of girl (I don't think)so, this could be love...and honestly, I hope so. Cute couple. From donaliza : I think it's awesome! They both seem totally enamored with one another and they look great together!!! From Cherisse : What I think is that Katie and Tom are for real, basically if you notice in Katie's relationship she only really had two boyfriends and they were serious. I don't think Katie would get in a relationship if it was not serious, or if it was for fun. She never been the type to just go out and look at a guy and say, "oh I think I would date him" to me she's this patient, nice, kind, and caring person. To me she is the girlfriend and boyfriend type of girl, not the friends with benefits type. I think it would affect her career in a bad and a good way. Like some may think that she is just dating him to boost her career, but like me some might think that she found someone knew that she really like and just trying to move on with her life instead of living in sorrow about what happen last March, I don't think Katie would try to be something or someone that she is not I mean this is Katie, this is who she is just KATIE. From Nashae J. : You know what...having been a fan of Katie Holmes and watching her grow up on Dawson's Creek into a beautiful young actress who unlike many other hollywood types, was just a downright, real person despite her fame, I have pretty much lost any type of a respect for her. It really breaks my heart to actuaally say that because to me, I never thought of her as the type that would play into building her career by dating Tom Cruise. It's so sad that women these days make deals with him to blow up their status in Hollywood including Nicole Kidman and Penelope Cruz. It just sucks because Katie Holmes seemed so beyond this type of crap than to be uncomfortably parading herself around with Tom Cruise in Rome---when has Katie Holmes ever wanted people taking pictures of her with people she's with. It's so sad, and even worse is the fact that the media is like whatever, so what does she do now? Cop to it or stick with it? I'm just appalled because she seemed like so much more, wor! thy of so much better than the Hollywood desperation stigma, but I digress. From Lannie : I've been smiling as widely as Tomkat since I first read about them being together! I'm 23 and I've always had this HUMONGOUS crush on Tom Cruise since I first got to watch Interview with the Vampire in 10th grade (since then, I've tried to catch every movie he's been in, both the old and the new.) So I can definitely understand how Katie must be feeling right now: on Cloud 9! I actually have a boyfriend right now who looks a bit like Tom (and I'm also a bit taller than him) and I just can't stop giving him the same look that Katie has been seen giving to Tom! Also one time, I was making funny faces at my guy's Camera Phone, sticking out my tongue, when he got this idea that we kiss in front of the camera even if I was initially hesitant to do it (cuz I'm real shy). The Tomkat kissing pictures totally reminded me of that time. I think guys just love to see pictures of them kissing their special girl. So I am sooooo happy for Katie. I also used to be a fan of her in Dawson's ! Creek and thinks she looks absolutely cute. I love them together! From Stephen : I find it hilarious reading people's reactions. It's funny how judgmental some people are. I'm reading things like some people are saying that they are disappointed in Katie. Disappointed? I can't say what I think about that because there would be too much expletives. I love and am HUGE fans of both Katie and Tom and I don't know them personally, obviously, so I'm not going to do something stupid and accuse them of doing this for a publicity stunt. That's just pathetic. Just like I find it pathetic that people are actually disappointed in her. I will say that this whole thing is weird and I don't see this lasting though. But who knows, right? From Sylvia : I think this is a real relationship. They came out with it in Rome because is more simple : when Batman Begin will came out, the shock of the relationship was probably over. So the media will focus on the movie and not on the relationship between Tom and Katie. Why Chris and Katie didn't kiss on the red carpet ? Maybe because Chris use Katie for his career. She's more popular than I’m. Tom look Katie like a man look a woman, He see the woman in her not the little girl. For the first time she has a mature relationship with a man. Josh and her was more a first love who not survive to the real world. Chris and her is more a long distance relationship. Right now, she discovered the woman in her. (sorry for the english. I'm speak french.) From Beckie : I am more than elated for these two. I don't see why everyone thinks its a publicity stunt. They look absolutely enamored with one another and they both look happy. Just because both of them "tried" to keep past relationships a secret,we all know that this wasn't going to be for long. I think the more you try to hide it the more stressful it is for the couple. I think they figured what the hell, lets get it over with now, and maybe they can have some kind of normal life together. I am soo happy for them. I have been a Tom Cruise fan since first seeing Cocktail. I am a huge fan of Katie’s as well. Good Luck to them both. From jo : First I think it's really weird, it's difficult to imagine them together, they seem to be so different, but after all, it's none of our business, they do what they want. Tom is such a great actor, and I hope Katie will be a great actress one day (sorry but actually these movies aren't much released where I live, so I can't say she's a very famous actress) But if thanks to this relationship, we can see more often Katie in France, it would be fabulous. I don't think this love story will be long, but I hope I was wrong! (sorry for my English, I'm French...) From Lannie : I've been smiling as widely as Tomkat since I first read about them being together! I'm 23 and I've always had this HUMONGOUS crush on Tom Cruise since I first got to watch Interview with the Vampire in 10th grade (since then, I've tried to catch every movie he's been in, both the old and the new.) So I can definitely understand how Katie must be feeling right now: on Cloud 9! I actually have a boyfriend right now who looks a bit like Tom (and I'm also a bit taller than him) and I just can't stop giving him the same look that Katie has been seen giving to Tom! Also one time, I was making funny faces at my guy's Camera Phone, sticking out my tongue, when he got this idea that we kiss in front of the camera even if I was initially hesitant to do it (cuz I'm real shy). The Tomkat kissing pictures totally reminded me of that time. I think guys just love to see pictures of them kissing their special girl. So I am sooooo happy for Katie. I also used to be a fan of her in Dawson's! Creek and thinks she looks absolutely cute. I love them together! From Lina : I think Katie and Tom dating is great, they look wonderful together in the picture. I hope it lasts. Katie seems over the moon happy and I'm glad for her. From Paula : I like the couple, Katie looks happy and Tom too, but I’m wondering how much time they’ll be together...but really I’m shock because to me Katie always will be "Joey Potter"..... From Tasha : It seemed really weird at first, I kind of thought it was a joke. But I don't think they seem like two people who would do it just for publicity. For starters, there is enough hype for both Batman Begins and War of the Worlds that they both will be box office hits anyways. So I wish them both happiness, though everyone knows the press aren't going to leave this couple alone for a second. The publicity will probably help Katie's career though, get her name out there to more people. From Jasmine : I think this relationship won't help Katie's career. It doesn't make her look older - an actress that is good enough/old enough to be with the big leagues (this won't be a Natalie Portman jump for her, as she may have hoped). It makes Tom look like a child-molester. The Good News: people are talking about them whereby they weren't talked about in the media in a very long time. From Sue F. : t may seem a little strange at first, but I think that what really matters is if they are happy or not and that's really for no one but them to decide. From Oana Maria : I love both of them and I think they are great together! Good for them and a long long relationship! I think that it's important what they feel and not what others think! I wish them: Good luck! And All the best! From Li : For anyone who will care to read this, I would like to give my opinion not on Tom and Katie, but the many disappointing comments I've read. I find it sad that people are so quick to form assumptions and suddenly look down on actors they once looked up to. The fact is, none of us know the true facts at the moment, so let it be. Whatever the reason, it is none of our business. Whether you feel they are purposely attracting attention or simply not avoiding it (which in many cases is better for them - besides, they do not have much of a choice), whether they display affection or not, whether there is an age difference, though it may seem odd, whether it is true or not, or lasts or not, I don't feel any of us are in a place to form a judgment on two people we do not know. The first thing from the media was 'publicity stunt'. Whether that is true or not, we don't know but I find it bothersome how so many people are influenced so quickly and easily by the media, without sure facts. The media's opinion becomes their own. I know being a celebrity comes with scrutiny at times, unfortunately, but we should not add to this. I don't believe any of us would enjoy the comments here if we were in their place, especially if the case was sincere. This type of thing is part of what makes celebrity relationships even more difficult than a relationship already is at times. From roselle : I think Tom and Katie’s relationship is for real and not for publicity or any of that sort... they don't need publicity in the first place.. I like Katie, she seem to be very nice, decent and of course very pretty.. Well, no more explanations for tom cruise... he's the definition of any girl's dream...I wish them luck and all the best.. They’re the cutest couple around.. :-) From daphne : Ok, some of you out there might find this relationship a little too convenient. I for one think these two look absolutely in love. Tom can't take his eyes off of Katie and she is smiling from ear to ear. Maybe it's the hopeless romantic in me, but I think their relationship is the real deal. Like everyone else, I was completely taken aback when I found out that Tom and Katie were a couple. They don't exactly seem like the most 'obvious' pairing. Come on, don't you think if Tom Cruise was doing this as part of a publicity stunt, he would've chosen someone more 'high profile' than Katie? I really hope that this relationship lasts. Katie seems like a great girl and Tom obviously thinks so. He has nothing but great things to say about her. Give them a break!! From Maria : I think they look great together and I wish them all the best. Regarding all the comments about Katie doing this for publicity, 'cause she never went public with her relationships and all of a sudden she does, I think she is not doing this for publicity either. If you haven't noticed, till now the only one who talked to the press is Tom.... Katie hasn't said a word and was standing in background almost the whole time... Anyway, cute couple... From Chase : When I first found out that Katie and Tom are dating I was in shock coz no one ever thought these two would hook up and since then I am hooked with the TomKat stories for days. There is lot of speculation about their romance whether it’s real or not, for me personally I don't care if their doing it for publicity sake the important thing for me is if Katie is happy then I am happy for her. Besides, TomKat are old enough to know what’s right and wrong and I think if Katie choose to be in the dark side of being celebrities her family, friends, and loyal fans will be their to pull her away from that...Go Katie!!! Just enjoy the moment!!! Your fans will always be here for you no matter what!!! From Kely : To tell the truth, I'm worried about Katie getting hurt. What if it doesn't work out. I heard Katie's dad's voice, thanks to Chaz for the link in the news area :) Her father says it's true. I will always be Katie's fan but I don't support it. Sorry. From Marie : I just wanted to say that even though I've already shared my opinion on thousands of other boards etc. (By the way, my opinion was that I think this is great - it's cute and as long as they're happy, we should be too.) I had a little more to say. I've noticed that a lot of people like this pairing and that's AWESOME, but for the people that don't and are being cynical about it, that should just stop. You're entitled to your own opinion, of course, but I think they're just having fun. They're not getting married for publicity or anything crazy. They're just two people who, if you ask me, can't fake the emotion they expressed this weekend and they're having a good time. And if it ends tomorrow, I've had a good time following it and I'd hazard a guess that they'll both look back on it as a few of their greatest days. Thanks! From Josh : I think that she is way too young for him and that is wrong! Tom is sooo old. It's just wrong!!! From Veera : I love Katie and she does look happy with Tom and he happy with her… I know it's strange that these two came to public with their relationship so soon, but I don't believe it's a publicity stunt.. I've watched, loved and admired Katie since Dawson's Creek began, I've read her interviews and seen so much of her that I don't believe she would do a publicity stunt.. She's just not that kind of girl. The same thing with Tom, I don't believe he would do that also… I think they look really cute together and I wish them all the best in the future :) From Diana : Umm…it’s kinda weird as we all know, I don't know if it is publicity stuff. Whatever it is, I just don't like it at all, I really like Katie, her movies, her personality, but I think that these two things have changed. She as we all know always has been reserved with her private life, and now she is walking around with Tom everywhere, just like saying "I’m Tom's new girlfriend, look at me"... Whatever! What happened with Chris? do you guys really think that a five year relationship is so easy to forget?!?... I don't think so… Umm…I still like her anyway, she is a good actress I hope this "love thing" doesn't change her career. See ya! and well… I think that we just have to wait and see what will happen with this two talent-persons! :) From C.Lee : I think Tom Cruise is a "rebound" for her. She may be flattered that he has taken interest but I don't see it lasting.... From Saq : I think it sucks! I’ve been on this site since High School, when the group was pretty small...now TOO many people are going to be Katie fans. I’m not talking about KHP fans, but now she’s going to be TOO mainstream everywhere else. The story is on CNN and FOX News on the hour! I think it was better when he wasn’t in the paper ever single day. --Its probably good for her career though, she’s going to be a lot better known now. It’s just not going to be the same for us KH fans anymore. From Asia : Hi everyone! I'm probably one of the biggest French fans of Katie and the day I discovered this incredible relationship I almost had a heart attack! How on earth is that possible????? I still don't realize it! I have always thought that Katie had it all but now it is confirmed: this girl has a f.... good lucky star shining over her!! I wish them all the best but can't help thinking of Chris Klien’s reaction!! Cheer up man! I prefer you than Tommy anyway! :-) From Mandy : I think that if she’s happy then I’m happy otherwise I don’t want her to get hurt by him – we know his track record!!! From Ina : I think Tom and Katie’s relationship is real. The way he looks at her and the way she looks at him just makes it look real. It’s wonderful that she’s going out with Tom Cruise. They just started dating a few weeks ago and I have a lot of pictures of them already. There relationship is so wonderful and so open. I think it’s beautiful. From Alissa : Katie Holmes is a mature girl who can make her own decisions. It is fine as long as they love each other so i wish them the best. From Michelle : You know this is such a sorce of heated over-reactive drama. I have followed Katie's career ever since I read that first article in the Toledo Blade...many moons ago. Maybe it's the fact that we both grew up in the same town...maybe it's the fact that she geniunely is different then most actresses, she hasn't forgotten her roots. Either way I can say for the most part I enjoy supporting her and her work. We are all her fans here...for the most part. I was estatic with TomKat as soon as I saw the look on their faces.I personally couldn't be happier for her, she looks happy...good for her!!!! I really am disinterested in all this realtionship bashing and TOm bashing. Who cares if he is older...obviously she doesn't..it is her relationship afterall. I think we all should let her enjoy it!!! This is Tom Cruise afterall!!! Hello!!! He's hot!!!! Good luck to the two of them!! I think they deserve it!!!
