[WARNING: Image Heavy] The most talked about Oscars in years has just kicked off, with stars from across the globe gracing the red carpet for the 2009 awards ceremony.

This year’s arrivals wore a multitude of fashions, with mermaid-tail dresses, the LBD, and excessive bling the standouts. Actresses Amy Adams, Kate Winslet and Penelope Cruz shone particularly bright in their understated gowns.

Katie Holmes Trapped By Tom

Katie Holmes feels trapped in her marriage to Tom Cruise and is too terrified of losing her daughter to leave him reports the Enquirer.

Katie feels smothered by his control, with friends suggesting she is ready to snap.

She believes that if she left him, he’d make it nearly impossible for her to see Suri and Katie knows how that works, seeing first hand how he cut first Stepford Wife, Nicole Kidman out of the lives of their children. (Mind you, I think that has a lot to do with the choice of Kindman than Cruise).

Katie has everything money can buy, but as is often the case, that is not enough. She has no real close friends of her own and is ever under the watchful eye of Tom’s Scientology overlords.

Such is the life of a Stepford Wife.

Katie Holmes Got Conned

Star is reporting that Katie is feeling conned by Tom Cruise, because he hasn’t helped her to become a major  star.

Part of the ‘agreement’ when they started ‘dating’ was for Tom to make all her dreams come true. Apparently Katie is like many others, with her only dream being to become a major movie star.

The trouble is, none of that has happened for Mrs Cruise No. 3. While Tom helped launch frozen face Nicole’s career, he has failed to deliver the same rewards for Katie and she is not too happy about it.

Tom had apparently made the bold statement that with him managing her career, she would be a major star and the No. 1 female box-office earner in the World within 5 years.

Due to his controversial statements and behaviour, Tom’s star has itself waned considerably and presumably his Hollywood power along with it. With Valkyrie, he may reclaim some of his lost sparkle, time will tell.

I wonder if Katie’s contract has a get-out clause written into it???

Tom Cruise Gives Spencer Pratt Marriage Advice

Tom Cruise has given marriage advice to Spencer Pratt, following his Mexican elopement last month.

Cruise told the Great Pratt that he’s made a “mistake” marrying beau Heidi Montag in an intimate, Mexican ceremony, because it wasn’t the huge wedding she’d always envisioned.

“If the girl wants the wedding, you gotta do the wedding,” Cruise said. “It’s a special occasion, and she’ll remember it forever. Spencer… dude… you’ll realise this later.”

The Pratt, however, doesn’t seem to think this will be an issue with his newly-wedded wife, and had a little message to send to Mr. Cruise: “You all know how I feel about big weddings, but if Tom Cruise says so, it must be true.”

“If Tom’s the best man, we’ll have a big wedding!” Spencer added.

Somehow I don’t think Cruise will rise to the bait, you Big Pratt!

Cruise’s Love For Katie is Real

Tom Cruise has proved that his love for wife Katie Holmes is about as real as Heidi and Spencer’s “not-so-impromptu” wedding in Mexico last week.

The Scientologist actor admitted that he fell “so hard” for Holmes that he’d already bought an engagement ring for the Dawson’s Creek star on their first date!

“I knew I wanted to marry Kate when I met her,” Cruise told Style magazine.

And when Holmes confessed that she’s dreamt of marrying the Top Gun star when she was a little girl, Cruise said he told her, “I wouldn’t want to disappoint [you].”

Cruise purchased the whopper of a diamond “shortly” after their first date in 2005, but held on to it for some time, because, he said, he was “trying to put Katie off” the scent.

“At one point, I thought she was going to ask me to marry her first and I put her off by changing the subject.”

“I wanted to ask her,” Cruise added.

Scientology Guards Shoot Man Dead

Guards at the Scientology building in Hollywood have shot and killed a man wielding two Samurai swords.

The man, who was said to be involved with the church, showed up at noon and approached three guards and began waving two Samurai swords around. Being the caring souls that they are, the Scientology guards took no chances and shot him dead with automatic handguns.

At this stage, police at saying that it was in self defense.

There is no proof that the man wielding the swords looked anything like the person in the image above, but that is the nearest image we could get to a Samurai sword wielding lunatic.

Quote of the Day: Maniac Cruise

“Tom Cruise is a maniac. I can’t understand the way he conducts his life.”

– Screen icon Lauren Bacall isn’t shy about admitting how she really feels about Tom Cruise. And neither are we.

Nicole’s Children Meet Sunday Rose

Nicole Kidman’s children from her marriage with Tom Cruise were finally allowed to meet their new sibling, Sunday Rose, over the weekend.

Nicole had originally wanted Isabella and Connor to be present for the birth, but Tom had reportedly banned them from attending.

Nicole decided not to push the issue, which probably helped persuade Tom to let them visit her on the weekend.

Some may see Tom’s ban as a slight against Nicole, but as we reported here, Nicole does not have a good relationship with her children. Maybe she intends to try and rectify this.

Tiny Tom Tricks Out Cars With Bulletproof Glass

I love seeing photos of Tom and Katie, where she makes him look like a midget in spite of his high lift shoes, just like this pic I posted of them nearly two years ago.

Alright, so there may be a slight difference, with him having one foot in the gutter. I said gutter, not closet!

Anyway, I digress. This post is about Tom Tom and his bulletproof cars. In Touch Weekly reports that Tom is so concerned for his family’s safety that he has had all of them fitted with bulletproof windows and bombproof panels. On top of that, each of Tom’s chauffeurs are professionally trained defensive drivers.

Chauffeurs?

How many does he have?

OK, I can go with the armor plating and the bulletproof glass, but I am not sure if I would be tricking out a performance car with an extra ton of weight.

The Secret Of Tom Cruise Revealed

Well the secret of Tom Cruise has been revealed.

If you recall, the other day I posted about how Tom’s people have been buying up Google adwords, well now all can be revealed. As expected, itis all about spin and promoting his 25 years since his starring role in Risky Business, which appears to be apt title for the way his life has gone the last couple of years.

This may take some of the heat off his image, which has taken a battering of late, not helped by the heavily choreographed appearance with Oprah, or was it Xenu?
