Tom, Katie's breakup report denied

LOS ANGELES - Hollywood lovebirds Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes remain engaged to be married and are proceeding with wedding plans, his publicist said, denying a Valentine's Day report to the contrary.

"It should be known that the story (of a breakup) is 100 percent false," spokesman Paul Bloch said in a statement sent to news agencies in response to the report, from celebrity magazine Life & Style.

"Mr. Cruise and Ms. Holmes are still engaged and are moving forward with their wedding plans, as well as planning for the arrival of their child. Despite the malicious fallacies put forth ... the couple is looking forward to a long and happy life together as a family."

Twice-married Cruise, 43, and Holmes, 27, began dating in April, but far from keeping their relationship low-key, the Mission: Impossible star became the butt of jokes in May after publicly declaring his passion for his new girlfriend in a manic, couch-jumping appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show.

He proposed to Holmes in June at the Eiffel Tower in Paris and announced their engagement the next day at a news conference. The pair said in October they were expecting a baby and the next month Cruise said he had bought a sonogram machine so they could monitor the development of their child in utero.

In an ABC interview in the fall, the couple said they planned to marry in 2006, but no precise date was set.

Citing unnamed sources described only as "multiple insiders," Life & Style reported on Tuesday that Cruise and Holmes had agreed to call off their engagement but maintain the "charade" of a romance until after the birth of their baby.

In the meantime, the magazine said, the two stars planned to live in Cruise's Beverly Hills home, though sleep in separate bedrooms, through the summer.

The report anonymously quoted a friend of Cruise as saying, "Their relationship is basically over," but that the actor plans to buy Holmes her own home nearby and share custody of the child.

A spokeswoman for Life & Style said the magazine stood behind its story "100 percent."

I just saw a NEWS at 11 commercial saying they're calling it quits and what they're gonna do with the baby....

OMG

I'm not sure what aspect of the relationship is the worst.

They're going to keep denying a split until forever, and then out of the blue announce their split, just like what the tabloids were reporting on Jessica & Nick for eons.

I don't know if my poor heart can stand the shock of this.

Yup! It seems the more they all deny, the more they convince us it's done.

His publicist must be dizzy from all this spin.

Whatever he's paying his publicist, he better double it!!! She's gonna deserve it after all the lying she's gonna be doing! Lying is hard work!
PS, This is great news if its true. Maybe katie did see the light.

I hope she comes out and tells the world the whole story how crazy Tom and the scientologists really are, how she was forced to pretend to love Tom and pretend that she was preggers etc etc. And I also hope the tabloids and all the tv network/shows will pay her tons and tons more $$$ than what she got when she signed the "yes I'll be Tom's beard and have his child" contract with Tom/Scientology ppl. I want the truth and nothing but the truth!!!!!!

I hope it's a result of her father playing hardball with these
starry-eyed Scientologist creeps (ahem, any on the site?

).

Maybe she just couldn't compete with his boyfriend.

Despite a report that engaged couple Tom Cruise and seven-months-pregnant Katie Holmes have split, his rep, Paul Bloch exclusively tells Star. "This is totally and 100 percent untrue." And in an exclusive interview with Star, Cruise's attorney, Bert Fields, fumes: "This is a disgusting and malicious story. It is unequivocally false and I have already demanded a retraction. Tom and Katie's relationship is fine, they are not pretending anything. They are looking forward to their marriage and their baby."

So will Cruise sue the publication that is reporting the false story? "I will be sitting down with Tom in the next couple of days to discuss this story and ultimately it's his call as to whether we bring a lawsuit," Fields tells Star. "But if it was up to me, I would sue."

Oh you know Cruise will sue them. He'll be on them like white on rice.

And I agree, this is going to be another Nick and Jessica thing up until the release of the pillow, I mean "the child" is born.
