Market America Super Bowl XLI Party

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes partied late into the night in Miami on Saturday. The couple were among the star-studded crowd at the Ocean Drive magazine and MarketAmerica.com pre-Super Bowl party in South Beach, where Fergie and her Black Eyed Peas bandmate Will.i.Am kicked off the night’s concert.

Cruise pal Marc Anthony headlined the event, crooning several of his hit songs – plus a cover of “Hotel California.” Anthony was also joined onstage by his wife Jennifer Lopez, who sang with her hubby. Cruise and Holmes – along with Cruise’s sister and his son Connor – rocked out in their seats on the side of the stage as Anthony and Lopez performed. “She’s quite a dancer,” one partygoer said of Holmes. “They were really into the music.”

Other celebs at the concert included Scarlett Johansson, Matt Leinart, Tara Reid, Marlee Matlin, Leah Remini, Jeff Gordon, Joey Fatone and Stacy Keibler. When the show ended just after midnight, a huge fireworks display lit up the sky over the Atlantic Ocean.

Afterwards, the party shifted to South Beach’s hip lounge Mokai for the private CAA sports party. Cruise and Holmes danced to a mix of rock and hip-hop, including songs like “Sweet Home Alabama” – behind a wall of security guards. Still, partygoers snapped photos of the affectionate couple, who kissed and cuddled as they danced. The pair, along with Connor, stayed at the club until nearly 2:00 a.m. (People)

Suri Cruise pictures bring in millions of viewers
Glossy magazine VANITY FAIR is already benefitting from publishing the first photos of TOM CRUISE and KATIE HOLMES new baby SURI by hitting a record 4.3 million page views on their website in just one day. The October (06) issue features a 22-page photo spread of the Cruise family shot by celebrity photographer ANNIE LEIBOVITZ. The issue hit newsstands in New York City and Los Angeles on 6 September (06), but the world could view the photos online at vanityfair.com late Tuesday (05SEP06) night – and hits on the site rocketed to nearly three times the previous record for page views when the magazine posted a picture of KEIRA KNIGHTLEY and SCARLETT JOHANSSON appearing nude for TOM FORD’s Hollywood issue in February (06). Meanwhile, new details have emerged about exactly how the magazine managed to keep its exclusive pictures a secret. Comag Market Group Vice President JOE BERTOLINO, who distributes the magazine, said the operation was three weeks in the making and credits Vanity Fair editor in chief GRAYDON CARTER with masterminding the exclusive deal. Neither Carter’s staff or members of Bertolino’s marketing group were allowed to see the images ahead of time. A private security firm was hired to guard the magazine as it was being printed and it shipped one day late, with the front of the issue covered by a protective piece of paper to prevent leaks. Bertolino says security did catch an infiltrator at one distribution point from a competing weekly magazine. He declined to name the publication, saying only that it was not owned by a “reputable” magazine company.

Michael Moore: stop picking on Tom Cruise
Michael Moore has said he thinks people should lay off Tom Cruise – because at the end of the day he’s just an actor.
Speaking at the Toronto launch of his new documentary, Sicko, about the US health insurance business, Moore said: “It’s time to stop picking on Tom Cruise.”
“What is his crime? Jumping on a couch? Actors are supposed to different. They’re not accountants.”
“His religion is own damn business, no matter what planet it’s from. He’s not firing rockets into Iraq.”

Other news is about Tom & Katie-spottings:

LifeStyleExtra:
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were “rescued” from the paparazzi by considerate restaurant staff.
The couple – who recently unveiled the first pictures of their baby daughter Suri in Vanity Fair magazine – were enjoying an intimate dinner at plush eatery Il Ristorante di Giorgio Baldi, in Santa Monica, California, on Saturday night (09.09.06) when they were spotted by photographers.
Almost immediately the snappers had set up camp outside the restaurant, waiting for Tom and Katie to emerge so they could photograph them.
However, considerate restaurant employees came to the pair’s rescue by holding up their aprons and obstructing the view of Tom and Katie as they left.
To further distract the flashing bulbs, the owner of the restaurant Giorgio Baldi even jumped in front of the paparazzi to obscure their view.

SeattlePI:
Tom & Katie
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes threatened to upstage the action on the field on Monday when they watched the Washington Redskins season opener as VIP guests of Cruise’s new business partner, Redskins owner Dan Snyder.
On the ESPN premiere of Monday Night Football, the couple were seen sitting in the owner’s box, both decked out in shades. They watched the Redskins lose to the Minnesota Vikings 19-16.
The couple were joined by Cruise’s daughter Isabella, 13, and son Connor, 11. The family – yes, even Vanity Fair cover-baby Suri – is staying at the Potomac, Md., home of Snyder, the Washington Post reported Tuesday.
Days after Cruise was publicly dumped by Paramount Pictures last month, the actor’s production company signed a deal to finance movies through Snyder and others in the investment firm First and Goal LLC.
On Sunday, Cruise and Snyder went to the Snyder-owned Six Flags amusement park in Washington, the Post reported.

News

All the news from these past days includes of course Tom and Katie’s LA premiere. Celebspin:

Pulling up to Grauman’s Chinese Theater behind the wheel of a black sports car with Holmes in the passenger seat, Cruise said: “We are looking forward to seeing this. This is Katie’s first night out since we had Suri.”

A voluptuous-looking Holmes, already slimmed down since the last stages of her pregnancy, was wearing a loose-fitting black cocktail dress with white pumps as she clung to Cruise while he signed autographs and posed for photos.
Referring to her weight, Holmes told one fan, “I haven’t lost that much yet.” Still, insisted the admirer, Holmes looks amazing. “Thank you,” she said. “I try to eat healthy.”
Asked how it felt to be making her first public appearance since giving birth, Holmes smiled and said: “Wonderful.” And baby Suri? “Gorgeous!” she gushed. Holmes also said that “some very good friends” were taking care of the infant – while Cruise (wearing a black suit and sunglasses) took care of Holmes, making sure she was as much a part of his night as the fans.

As the festivities continued, someone in the crowd handed Cruise a homemade gift for Suri: four, three-inch pink knitted toy blocks, each with the letters “S,” “U,” “R,” “I” knitted in white on the blocks. Clearly touched by the gesture, Cruise handed the blocks to Holmes and then tightly hugged the fan. “Thank you so much,” he said. “This is really appreciated. I love homemade gifts. Have a wonderful summer.” Added Holmes: “Thank you. They’re beautiful. … That’s so sweet. I know just where to put them.”
Katie & Tom at the LA premiere

They also surprised Wal-Mart employee Kevin McCoy, 27, who won an online trivia contest with the prize of attending a private screening of Cruise’s newly released film.
Cruise and Holmes strolled the town’s borrowed red carpet, and signed autographs for many of the nearly 2,000 fans at a local mall set up to welcome the couple to the blue collar town of Aberdeen.

Cruise was his usual magnanimous self, saying, “I am amazed at how beautiful it is here, and you’re really warm and wonderful people,” as he and Holmes accepted honorary Aberdeen citizenships.

As for the Cruise ship making port there, one of the gushing teens told Aberdeen Daily World, “It’s surreal. It’s the coolest thing to ever happen to this town.” (PostChronicle)

Digital Spy reports that Tom is interested in starring in the latest Hollywood comic book adaptation, Iron Man, something we reported here months ago!

Some small news items: The Sun shows a picture of Tom at the Ellen DeGeneres Show, in which Ellen presented him a present for Suri – a pram in the style of a pink plane. The £200 Fantasy Flyer model has Suri’s name stencilled on the side. Tom was also given a black satin flight suit and sunglasses for the three-week-old.

Celebrity-babies.com adds: When Ellen asked what his plans for Kate/Katie was, he said, “I got a whole plan,” but gave a mother’s day gift to Ellen’s mother who was on the show- a shiny red bicycle. Then he gave bouquets of roses to the studio audience. Watch that here.
This website also has a little excerpt of the interview Tom gave to the magazine Good Housekeeping. It contains some of Tom’s quotes about Katie, marriage and Suri and the fact that his adopted daughter Isabella said to Tom not to let Katie go. The same is reported by People.

British BBC is back to business with the story “Cruise keeps grip on film chart”: M:I-III is at the top of the British and Irish box office chart for a second week.

Sorry for mixing up the “private” and “business” news… it’s so much these days and also both things are often in the same interview or story. But I trust you don’t mind! 😉
