Here’s a piece from The Daily Mail that could be total crap, but it’s still fun to repeat. Supposedly Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes aren’t going to the Oscars this year because Anne Hathaway is co-hosting with James Franco. Hathaway did a hilarious Katie Holmes impression on Saturday Night Live a couple of months ago, to which Holmes is said to have taken offense. The Holmes-Cruises are said to be avoiding the Oscars because they don’t want to run into Hathaway, who they used to be friendly with.
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes may boycott next month’s Oscars ceremony because they don’t want an awkward red carpet confrontation with the host, Anne Hathaway.
The 28-year-old actress, who will be presenting the 83rd Academy Awards alongside 127 Hours actor James Franco, upset Katie by mocking her on U.S.comedy show Saturday Night Live in November.
Anne was guest-presenting the comedy show when she mimicked Katie in a sketch, speaking in breathy tones and constantly tucking her hair behind her ear.
‘Tom and Katie don’t want to have to cross paths with Anne,’ says a Hollywood source.‘They used to be friends and took Anne to a Tina Turner concert in 2008 when Anne split up from her boyfriend Raffaello Follieri.
‘Katie feels they were really supportive at a difficult time so she feels let down that Anne took to national TV to make fun of her.
‘Anne didn’t even warn her it was going to be on TV.’Anne’s new film, Love And Other Drugs, is directed by Tom’s old friend Ed Zwick, who directed him in The Last Samurai.
‘The whole thing has left a sour taste with Tom,’ adds the source.
A spokesman for Cruise said he had yet to decide whether he will attend the Oscars, adding: ‘It’s too early to confirm – it depends on shoot schedules.’

This would be believable if Cruise and Holmes have ever actually gone to the Oscars together. From what I can find, Cruise hasn’t been to the Oscars in a few years and Holmes has never gone. (They went to the Vanity Fair Oscar party in 2007, but not to the ceremony that I can find.) Their Scientology buddies John Travolta and Kelly Preston go to the Academy Awards more than they do. Here’s why I think they don’t go to the Oscars – it has to do with Tom’s ex wife, Nicole Kidman, who is usually presenting or being nominated for something. Kidman goes basically every year. If Kidman is nominated for that Rabbit Hole movie Tom isn’t going to go and risk having to see her. It’s not like either Katie or Tom is going to be nominated for anything this year, but you know “Kate” would love to be a presenter if they’d have her. I doubt she consults Tom on anything lately.
Tom, Katie and Suri are shown out in NY on 12/20/10 and in Prague on 9/22/10. (Katie is carrying the doll carriage in those pics.) Credit: WENN.com
I think Tom may have presented best picture to ‘Slumdog Millionaire, I’m not sure though.
Either way, if this story is true, it’s pretty darn funny.
Bahahahaha oh please let this be true. That she is so unable to take a joke that they’d skip the freakin’ OSCARS.
In that last picture, is Katie holding John Travolta’s baby?
Those last two pictures are killing me!
@Jem – I think there was just a Cruise commercial that aired during the Oscars that year. Here’s a liveblog where he’s only mentioned as appearing in a promo with Jimmy Kimmel.
When is their contract over?
Aw, Katie, go on and go, its the closest you’ll ever get to an Oscar. Except when Tom dresses up in his gold lurex onesie. And I don’t believe Katie can’t take a joke. Look who she married.
O M G! Katie, those red pants!!!!!!!!!!!! How can you be that rich and dress like your on “The People Of Walmart’ Website???
Tom has never and will never do anything Oscar worthy. So he will never need to set foot in that arena, thank god. I don’t need the camera panning over to Tommy Girl while I am trying to watch.
Katie, in her wildest dreams, would never even come close to an Oscar worthy performance either. No one will miss them.
He’s never done anything Oscar worthy? Apparently you know nothing of film. Go watch ‘Born on the Fourth of July’ or ‘Collateral.’ His turn in ‘Magnolia’ was stunning. And while we’re at it, make note of the fact that most professional actors realize his role in Rain Man was much more difficult to play than the one that garnered Hoffman his charity “afflicted person” Oscar.
You may hate the guy and think he’s a kook (he may be), but to say he’s untalented is comical.
She is one of the worst dressed celebrities out there – those red harem pants! Words fail me. All that money and access to stylists and fabulous clothes and she looks like THAT?
It was rather mean when she did it (Anne) and not true. I love that guy (Cruise)!! God, he’s beautiful!
I want them to go. I want to see him work that carpet.
If Cruise really wanted to repair his image. He would get and there and hustle harder than Dina Lohan looking for her daily fix.
No matter how you look at it. If they showed up, and please let someone besides Suri dress them, they would own the place.
The media would be on them like a duck on a June bug. Simply because they haven’t been together. And to really sale the happiness. There would need to be a public greeting of the ex’s with their new spouses on hand.
Lord, the tabloids would have stories for weeks if that all happened.
Oh let this be true, pleeeeease! I can almost see it. If they don’t go, it’s almost certain Franco and Hathaway are gonna take a jab at it.
Also, Cruise did that whole big post 9/11 speech and the divorce was fresh back then. So….I don’t know!
Didn’t Tom Cruise win an Oscar for Born On the Fourth of July?
Screw em if they can’t take a joke!
@Ursaline, he was nominated but I think Daniel Day Lewis won that year for ‘My Left Foot’.
Cruise presented the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award to his friend Sherry Lansing at the 2007 Oscars. Kidman was also there. They have two children together, I doubt he’s scared or running into her.
He presented best picture to Slumdog Millionaire at the Golden Globes.
I would not be excited to see someone who mocked me, joking or not, on TV (or anywhere, really), especially if we had previously been friendly.
I’m pretty sure TC would pay good money to be able to present, Anne Hathaway or no.
Same for Katie. I mean, they had Miley Cyrus and Heidi Klum, both not exactly famous for their acting.
If they were to go to the awards show and meet her (Tom’s) ex , it will send Nicole’s husband back to the bottle faster than you can say, “Hi, I’m Keith Urban and I’m an alcoholic!”
I think Katie is just jealous that Anne wears a wig better than she does. Who’s hair grows that fast? They allowed her to be seen with them and she won’t kiss her ass? The nerve!
ha ha. those pics are hysterical. that sounds ridiculous enough to be true.
That was mean of Anne to do what she did and she is no great actress herself – I could not get through the movie The Devil Wears Prada she was so bad – the book on the other hand was great. I think Tom Cruise did his best performance for Born on the Fourth of July. Ursuline he did not win an Oscar but he should have.
If you can’t laugh at yourself…time for an ego check. We know Tom has always been far too full of himself…shame that it’s rubbing off on Katie now. And if I had to choose who was the better actress between Anne Hathaway and Kate/Katie. Hands down Anne. Katie can’t act to save her life. The ONLY reason she’s still relevant is because she’s under contract with Tom. P.S. I loved Devil Wears Prada.
For a woman who lets her 4 year old daughter dress her, she sure takes herself seriously. Lighten up, Katie, everybody thinks there’s something wrong with you for selling yourself to the COS and Cruise. Oh, and you’re not that great an actress. Maybe you can become the spokesbreeder for Xenu, or whomever it is that you nuts pray to.
maybe they dont want to get asked a bunch of questions about her latest acting role getting quashed off the channel it was supposed to air on. they cant deal with unrehearsed serious questions.
tom would probably go postal on the interviewer just like he did with matt lauer and I dont want to see him pawing desperately all over katie grabbing her this way and that.
Did anyone else notice in the first & second pic, how big Tom’s shoes are? I know he is prone to wearing lifts to make himself taller, but those shoes look like he’s wearing a size too big in order to make his feet look longer. They seem out of proportion to his body, kind of like clown shoes…
What a weird family. I’m looking forward to seeing pictures of either of them carrying Suri to her college (sorry: fashion school) graduation.
SNL mocks people all the time. Katie should be happy she was even mentioned (let alone imitated) on the show. F___ ’em if they can’t take a joke!
It’s a funny story but coming from a Brit tabloid I’m calling bullshit on the whole thing.
@ Squirrel LMAO! Good one!
@Laurie….my thoughts exactly. She should consider herself lucky that they even spoofed her. How is she relevant anymore?
At first glance, I wondered why Tom would avoid his ex. Of course, he could feel guilty about the way he treated her and the parental alienation and brainwashing done to his kids, or he should feel guilty, if he had a conscience.
If Anne is hosting,why would she be on the red carpet? They admit that there would be a confrontation if they encountered her? Bullies! What do they think the Academy is going to fire Anne from the show and bring in SnaggleSmile to host? I agree they are embarrassed she was soooooo bad in the Kennedy’s mini-series that it will not air. They knew the entire content long before. She will probably never get another job again,unless he pays for it.
As usual, I agree with your assessment….it’s about Kidman, not Hathaway. It’s probably about both — Scienos love conflict, even though they talk a good game about cooperation. I believe they were trying to “recruit” Hathaway, that’s why they were so “supportive” when she was vunerable. That’s my take.
They can’t go both at the same time – one of them has to carry the spawn and the seats are tight at the Academy Awards.
Funny that there’s the typical MO of Co$ (and other religious cults) – go after someone in a situation of personal distress and comfort him/her.
So if they dont usually go anyway, where’s the story??
Please, please, please let that child walk for herself. Hold her hand, but please stop carrying her. She is not an infant anymore.
I sincerely hope this isn’t true. SNL is comedy, that show makes fun of everyone. Anne Hathaway does not write those skits. Do they not have a sense of humor? Either way, they are adults. They should have developed better social skills by now, this all sounds very second grade.
They do look like clown shoes.
Those burgundy pants are HIDEOUS.
Who cares if they don’t go to the Oscars – especially if they don’t usually go anyway.
They probably carry Suri because of the pap cluster-fuck that usually swarms them – don’t blame them for carrying her.
Does anyone remember when Cruise and Kidman ignored Oprah at the Oscars after she dissed Interview w/a Vamp one year? I think Tom is perfectly capable of being that bitchy. But yeah since his and her Oscar chances are pretty low I doubt they were even planning to show.
First off, Tom Cruise would sell Katie to a harem of gay aliens to win an Oscar. Tommy will bend over backward to do anything that keeps himself relevant to the Academy. Secondly, who cares if SNL made fun of you. That generally means you are somehow relevant. Third, this story kinda smells of BS.
I believe that she has absolutely no sense of humour. Also that there are no nerve endings servicing her brain.
Maybe Tom and Katie will attend the Oscars when Suri learns to walk and all three of them can walk the red carpet together
Tom hasn’t done anything Oscar worthy in years, IMO. However, he did deserve to win for “Magnolia”. Anyways….
I can’t stop giggling at this story. If it’s true, then it shows that both of them don’t have a sense of humor at all. Plus, hosts really don’t do red carpets because they’re busy doing last minute prep.
You know, with her outrageous spending allowance, you think she would look less like a bum-it kills me that the outfit she has on probably costs more than my whole wardrobe and she looks RIDICULOUS WITH ALL CAPITALS.
Good stay away. They’re old frumpish bores. Anne Hathaway showed superior acting skills in that little funny SNL snippet than Katie has shown in all of her movies and tv career. They’d only come carrying in that spooky little Suri anyway because she goes everywhere 24/7 with them.
Anne Hathaway looked ugly making fun of Katie—it showed that she is no beauty.
Now, I’m not Kate Cruise fan…but I used to love Katie Holmes…what happened??? so disappointed
I’m no fan of TC but he was really funny when he was dancing with JLo (can’t remember which award show). TC was amazing in Born on the 4th of July.
He was also good in Risky Business. I also liked Minority Report.
Hey, I see super tight (almost skinny?)pants with goofy shoes. Accompanied by ugly red disco pants & witchy f-me shoes. What a hilarious duo!!!
Please go somewhere, I want more. HAHA!!!!
I predict Suri will come out w/video game soon…”Dress My Parents.”
pfft, they can avoid eachother. they need to get over it anyways– both impressions (miley AND katie) were RIGHT ON.
Scientology an craziness aside I still would so tap Tom Cruise 😀
I hope they pull up on his motorcycle and own the red carpet. who cares what they do in private or what they believe. must be difficult to be constantly critisized, I don’t blame Tom for being pissed off.
Nicole Kidman is nominated just about EVERY year. These morons never show up cause they do not get nominated.
What a nothing story.
What is up with Tom’s hair?! He looks like he is starting to wear Katie’s wigs.
@Crash – Exactly right. (If you can’t laugh at yourself, time to get an ego check.)
Yes, I probably would’ve been a bit embarrassed if someone made fun of me in that way, but you just have to lighten up. Nothing she used for her performance were over the line or dealing with very personal or inappropriate subject matter.
It’s surely not the worst thing to ever been said about Katie… But I guess the issue in this case was likely the friendship they had. (I don’t really think they’d skip the Oscars just over that. If they don’t usually go, to begin with.)
Gold lame’ onesie…LOVE IT!
Anna Hathaway is damn talented.. This Cruise couples however is an over-pampered spoilt no-talent actors.. Katie ‘Retardo’ Holmes, GET OVER YOURSELF!!
I like that actresses are not in the clip and real mothers like me are
