NEW YORK (AP) — Katie Holmes is coming back to TV — and yes, there’s a Dawson’s Creek connection.
The actress and wife of Tom Cruise will guest star as a nonprofit attorney in one episode of the legal dramedy Eli Stone, ABC publicist Aime Wolfe told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
Entertainment Weekly reported Wednesday on its website that Holmes was to appear in the show’s second season this fall. That means the 29-year-old star will work again with show creator Greg Berlanti, who was a writer-producer for the teen drama Dawson’s Creek, which starred Holmes as tomboy Joey Potter.
Holmes — who’ll likely decamp to New York with daughter Suri in tow — will make her Broadway debut Sept. 18 in a revival of Arthur Miller’s All My Sons.
The production, which also stars John Lithgow, Dianne Wiest and Patrick Wilson, officially opens Oct. 16 at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre for a limited engagement through Jan. 11.

Robert Downey Jr. Is King, Tom Cruise Cheers On Pussycat Dolls: Backstage At The MTV Movie Awards
Plus: Katie Holmes talks ‘Sex and the City’ with Sarah Jessica Parker.
By James Montgomery
UNIVERSAL CITY, California — There are moments when the backstage area is the most amazing place on earth. This is one of those moments.
Imagine the Pussycat Dolls limbering up deep within the maze of corridors underneath the Gibson Amphitheatre, packed tight into spandex-and-leather getups, preparing to take the stage at the MTV Movie Awards to perform their new single, “When I Grow Up.” As they make their way through hallways, turning left, then right, then left again, they are joined by the Jabbawockeez, the winners of “America’s Best Dance Crew” and PCD’s onstage compadres for the performance. The Jabbas are decked out in matching red T-shirts, with stark-white masks covering their faces and baseball caps perched at 45-degree angles atop their heads, and they form a perfect line behind the Dolls as they emerge into the backstage area.
They draw more than their fair share of confused looks as they cross the area and climb a set of stairs leading to the Gibson stage. Just then, they run smack into Tom Cruise, who proceeds to shake every single person’s hand, telling both the Dolls and the dance crew to “go get it.”
Cruise then descends the staircase and walks directly into the embrace of his wife, Katie Holmes, who is talking to Sarah Jessica Parker about (you guessed it) “Sex and the City,” saying she hasn’t seen the movie yet. “I want to have all my friends over,” she says. “We’re gonna dress up and do it right.”
The trio continue the conversation while roughly 10,000 photographers descend upon them, firing off countless flashbulbs. Then Tom and Katie’s publicist intervenes and whisks them away. Just like that, the moment is over, gone into the air from whence it came. Oh yeah, Ben Stiller was just sort of standing there too.
That was just one of about 100 once-in-a-lifetime moments that took place backstage at the Movie Awards, as performers, presenters and partygoers mingled with reckless abandon while the big show was happening just a few feet away. It was the kind of place where the super-famous could let their guard down and just have fun, which meant that the seemingly improbable happened with startling regularity, from totally random conversations to completely unexpected behavior, with a whole lot of Robert Downey Jr. thrown in for good measure.
Because truth be told, RDJ was the coolest guy backstage, whether he was holding court in a corner, shaking hands with the Rock or drawing stares and whispered “oh my Gods” from the likes of “High School Musical” co-stars (and significant others) Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens and “Superbad” co-star Emma Stone, who was staring so intently she nearly tripped over her publicist.
Efron also went gaga over Seth Rogen, telling him that his smoky intro on the telecast was “awesome” before returning to his conversation about “High School Musical 3” with Stiller.
And speaking of Rogen, he did his best “Spinal Tap” impression (or maybe his worst PCD impression) when he got lost backstage. Trying to make his way to a dressing room, he and his people took a random left, which led them directly into a long hallway full of dancers stretching out for their performance. Rogen weaved among them, laughing loudly and telling them, “As you were, ladies. Stretch everything out good!”
While Rogen was causing a hullabaloo in the hallways, other stars were doing their thing backstage. Will Smith followed his son Jaden around with the bemused look of a proud pop. Liv Tyler whispered to her assistant that she needed to hit the ladies’ room, and a wild-eyed Jack Black asked rather confused partygoers if the backstage monitor was TiVo-equipped.
“I want to watch Coldplay,” he said to no one in particular.
Later in the night, Paris Hilton and boyfriend Benji Madden watched PCD on a backstage TV, while “Speed Racer” star Emile Hirsch poured himself a Fanta at the bar. After the Dolls wrapped, he worked himself into an ongoing conversation with James Franco and Ellen Page, while another trio of actors — Anna Faris, Anne Hathaway and Rumer Willis — chatted about the various cities they’re currently shooting films in and their shared infatuation with HBO’s “The Wire.”
Minutes after the show wrapped, the backstage area became celebrity gridlock. Director Michael Bay and actress Megan Fox — fresh off a “Transformers” win for Movie of the Year — laughed and chatted up “Iron Man” director Jon Favreau. Chris Brown gave props to members of the Jabbawockeez. Hilton and Madden strolled hand-in-hand toward their waiting limousine as the backstage area began to slowly empty out.
But it was somewhat fitting that one of the last stars to leave was none other than Downey, who exited with a huge pair of sunglasses over his eyes and a smirk on his face.
It was almost as if he were reluctant to leave. After all, he had to know he was the king of the night. But then again, he was also a king getting ready to hit up the afterparty circuit. It’s good to be king.

Suri Cruise looked all tuckered out in dad’s arms after a visit to the set of Seven Pounds on Saturday. Between tap dancing class and helping her big brother out on his movie, Suri’s getting quite the little showbiz education already. While for now it’s all about parent time for the 2-year-old, their friend Will Smith is busy making sure there’s the right school ready for their kids. Will’s had trouble finding a suitable school for his children, but now he’s invested about $1 million into New Village Academy in Calabasas, which teaches using Scientology study methods. The Smith children will be enrolled when the school opens Fall 2008, but they’ll have to wait a few more years to see if this littlest Cruise will be their newest classmate. (Source: Popsugar)

Suri Cruise Puts on Her Dancing Shoes
Sounds like Suri Cruise might be ready to be a star already. Tom and Katie brought their fashionable 2-year-old to tap class in LA yesterday. Look at those tap shoes — so adorable and the perfect addition to her growing collection. After a week of visiting Connor on set — not to mention her, uh, parents in the business — little Suri’s already honing her own talent. While a tap class full of 2-year-olds sounds pretty precious all around, I bet little Suri stole the show.(Source: Popsugar)
