Momentarily free of her $35M mansion and her Scientology shackles, the lovely Katie Holmes enjoyed a light moment with daughter Suri Cruise on the set of “Mad Money” yesterday.

Suri Cruise is just so darn cute. We can’t wait for the day until the day she files for legal separation and writes a tell-all book. The little Asian baby, who just celebrated her first birthday, is going to have some great stories about Tom Cruise.

Happy creatures of habit, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes enjoyed yet another dinner at Wolfgang Puck’s CUT steakhouse Tuesday.

Chances are, their steaks were pretty damn good. ** Bad segue alert ** Unlike another cut Katie Holmes is sporting nowadays.

As photographers snapped the A-listers exiting the eatery, Katie - like Rihanna, Jenna Jameson and others - revealed her age-defying Posh Spice-style new bob hairstyle.

It’s not too shocking that Holmes - a noted pal of Victoria Beckham - would adopt the former Spice Girl’s style. Check out these before and after comparisons of PoshKat below…

Hey, it could be worse. Morphing into Posh Spice is one thing. That sure as hell beats turning into a submissive, mute alien being. What would Suri Cruise say about that

Tell us, fans, what do you think of Katie Holmes’ new ‘do

The National Enquirer is reporting that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ baby registry at celeb-favorite baby boutique Petit Tresor is now full of items for a baby boy.

There was a report by TMZ last week that someone in Cruise’s camp inquired about a custom made baby boy nursery that would cost tens of thousands.

Speculation was that Katie and Tom were either expecting again (although Katie certainly doesn’t seem to be showing) or adopting.

Now there’s news that their baby registry may be giving us hints that a boy is about to come into their lives whether it’s the biological way or through adoption:

OH, BOY! Is there a “bump” in KATIE HOLMES’ immediate future The online “Gift Registry for Katie Holmes and TOM CRUISE” at LA’s ultra-trendy tyke boutique Petit Tresor - which previously posted only pink items for baby SURI - just went wall-to-wall Little Boy Blue! Among many blue items listed are “Blue Baby Plaid Bedding,” “Sleepyhead Bunny in Blue Mobile” and “Polka Dot Baby Blue Rug.” NOTE TO MY REPORTERS: You are now officially on 24/7 Katie-Bump Alert.

If this was true someone seems to have removed the registry. I tried all sorts of variations of Tom, Katie’s and Suri’s first and last names at the Petit Tresor online registry and couldn’t find anything.

It seems kind of soon for them, and with Katie trying to restart her career I’m not sure she would want another baby right away. Sometimes these things are unexpected, though, we’ll just have to see.

Here are Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise at a basketball game on 3/11. They look really pissed off, like they’ve just been fighting. Suri looks really cute in that little dress, all oblivious. Tom’s mom is there too. I wonder how Katie feels about having to deal with all of Tom’s relatives all the time.

We apologize for this post right away, because it makes Amy Winehouse’s lovey-dovey comments on Blake Fielder-Civil seem monumentally important.

This is celebrity gossip at its worst. The kind of thing you’re forced to report when you’re working a double shift on a national holiday.

It’s either a slow news decade in Louisiana, or Katie Holmes gets a lot more publicity than is really necessary.

We’re guessing it’s the latter, but we’re happy to report that for the crew working on Katie Holmes‘ new movie, Mad Money, in Shreveport, La., TGIF means “Treats and Goodies, It’s Friday.”

Forgive us while we pull a Mischa Barton and go throw up the treats and goodies we ate last night.

Lame as she is, you have to commend Katie’s good spirit. You think porn star Katee Holmes treats the staff of her films like this

Or Lindsay Lohan The raging Crotch of Fire would probably just have her dealer roll in and distribute flasks, dime bags and eight balls.

No, not the Lohan kind of coke.

Hubby Tom Cruise and daughter Suri Cruise are frequent visitors to the set.

Suri Cruise was even there on Friday without Tom Cruise.

Good to see the spirit of Scientology is strong with her.

It had to happen the ultimate blended family is working it out Brady style. No need for Tom - the redhead and the brunette have it all well sorted. I guess he could bleach his hair and they could be Josie and the Pussycats, but that midget is an afterthought

Yes Nicole and Katie are large and in charge sisters are doing it for themselves.

Katie Holmes became stepmother to Nicole’s adopted children, Isabella and Conor, when she married Nicole’s ex-husband Tom Cruise, and both actresses worker together on how to handle their kids.

A source said: “Katie was having lunch with friends in Beverly Hills when Isabella rang her to talk to her about a party she was going to.

“Katie said, ‘That was Bella. She wants to wear a dress to a birthday party but I think it is much too grown up for her. But she says her mother approves. So I need to check with Nicole.’

Any second now they will be comparing notes on life in flat shoes. the heartache of car pooling to the Scientology temple, how often to replace bounced out sofa cushions. I think this is absolute proof that very sensible women keep marrying that no-talent munchkin because money is an aphrodisiac. He used to date Penelope Cruz as well its too much hotness for one wee leprechaun.

The Bella has Two Mommies tale continued:

Then after she’d made the call to Nicole she told her friends, ‘Nicole agrees with me. The dress is all wrong. The drama of it all! If I’ve learned one thing about teenagers, it’s that little things mean a lot.’

A life on Dawson’s Creek never taught her the lessons that one Academy Award winning phone call could deliver.

Katie Holmes showed her new Stepford face all over Miami this weekend, heading to a pre Super Bowl party on Saturday where Scientology-friendly J.Lo and Marc Anthony performed, and going out to a club with Tom afterwards. Tom’s sister and son Conner were at the show too. The party at the club was hosted by Creative Artists Agency, so Katie and Tom’s appearance was probably for professional reasons also.

Katie is represented by Creative Artists Agency, and made a visit to their offices recently. Commentor CountryBabe notes that she probably only has so long before they drop her if she isn’t getting work. According to IMDB she has nothing in the works, and her last appearance was in 2005’s Thank you for Smoking. Maybe Tom will cook something up for her to appear in.

Katie recently said that she loves calling Tom her husband and that “I was in love from the moment I shook his hand for the first time.”

From the looks of these pictures of Tom clinging to her while Katie has a faraway look in her eye, it seems like some of that starstruck puppy love has faded, but the plastic surgery and Barneys perks must make it worth her while.

The National Enquirer’s recent cover story claims that Katie Holmes is a shadow of her former self and has all aspects of her life controlled by her pint-sized cult-loving husband, Tom Cruise. They say he limits her phone calls to fifteen minutes, controls her extracurricular activities, and makes sure she approves all of her outfits before she is permitted to leave the house.

Pals of the 28 year-old actress are terrified that Tom and his fellow church members have virtually taken over eager-to-please Katie’s life, reducing an independent and free-spirited young woman to a submissive shell of her former self. Some insiders have even started calling her “The Stepford Wife” behind her back.

“It is like she obeys him like a pet or robot,” said a family insider. “It’s really creepy…”

Raised Catholic, she’s now dutifully following Tom’s lead and has immersed herself in Scientology, severing nearly all ties with her past.

“Any friends that Katie calls, and there are very few left since she hooked up with Tom, are cleared by him,” claims the insider.

Whats more, she spends only about 15 minutes per phone call, even when she’s speaking with family members….

Tom also approves his wife’s wardrobe, banning anything he considers too sexy.

“Tom doesn’t want Katie wearing anything flashy - and nothing too revealing either,” added the insider. “He’s very specific about what she wears - and if it’s not to his liking, she changes before leaving the house.”

[From The National Enquirer print edition, January 29, 2007]

To me, this sounds like a re-tread of an In Touch story from two weeks ago, in which they basically said the same thing about Katie. In fact, this Enquirer story even went on to repeat the anecdote about Tom overhearing Kirsten Dunst and Orlando Bloom invite Kate to Hyde and putting the kibosh on their plans.

There’s not much new information in that Enquirer story, and it seems likely that the insider is just a person who read the In Touch story and filled in some more details. Of course it ’s probably true that Katie doesn’t have a lot of freedom under the evil watch of the Scientology cult, but she could also just be tired or worn out from being a mom or whatever.

A jucier story is the one that Tom and Katie were seen celebrating what looked like little Suri’s birthday while out at a restaurant recently. The catch is that it’s January, and they claimed Suri was born in April of last year. This lends some credence to all those “conspiracy theories” about Suri not being Toms or being older than they claim. It’s not a conspiracy if it’s true.

Here’s Katie at the opening of Georgio Armani’s shop in Paris yesterday with Victoria Beckham. She dresses a bit frumpy, and maybe that’s why The Enquirer is saying Tom approves her outfits, but it could just be her style. She looks pretty happy and normal here.

Update: Oh No They Didn’t! has before and after photographs that suggest that Katie Holmes had a recent nose job. It looks like it to me.
