Poor Tom Cruise just can’t catch a break between Valkyrie and his wife’s choice of, um, companions. We’ll get to that last bit in a moment, but, first, there’s a bit about the reactions to the trailers for a midnight screening of Quantum of Solace. The audience quite enjoyed the trailer for Angels & Demons, and when Tom Hanks appeared onscreen, the audience cheered. What happened next was quite different:

And then, there was some seriously bad news for Tom Cruise. When Mr. Cruise first appeared in the Valkyrie trailer, there was an instantaneous chorus of giggles. Double that for when he’s wearing the eye-patch. Yikes. The last preview was an interesting fake out, as it’s for Edward Zwick’s Defiance, based on the true story of the Bielski brothers who helped save Jews during World War 2. Daniel Craig, a.k.a James Bond, stars (how he keeps getting cast as Jewish we’ll never understand) and when his handsome face appeared the crowd boisterously cheered, with one young gentleman even going so far as to say “I want to have your babies!” This was all a split second, of course, before everyone realized this was a Holocaust movie and respectfully piped down.

Well, I think the conclusions on those reactions have already been drawn, so onto Katie Holmes’ new friend & Suri’s new babysitter. The “odd couple” label doesn’t even begin to cover this bizarre phenomenon:

[I]mported socialite Peaches Geldof and Scientology captive Katie Holmes have totally connected (over what, exactly, is still unclear) in New York. Reportedly, Ms. Geldof so admired Ms. Holmes’s turn in Broadway’s All My Sons that she asked to interview the actress for Nylon, where she is a columnist of sorts. Either out of genuine interest in the budding fameball or just eagerness to escape the confines of her many East Village apartments, Ms. Holmes met the British 19-year-old for “afternoon tea” in a suite at the Rivington Hotel. Afterward, Ms. Geldof babysat Suri Cruise while Ms. Holmes reviewed scripts.

So, Katie allowed Peaches Geldof–druggie, groupie, and all-around spoiled idiot–to watch the precious Suri Cruise? That’s pretty whacked out, and Tom Cruise probably won’t approve of this newfound friendship. Then again, if the Poison Dwarf can pull one of Bob Geldof’s daughters into the Scientology cult, there’s a whole lot of money and publicity to be found. Good times, mates.
