How did Tom Cruise get as tall as Katie Holmes?

Mission: Impossible: III" star Tom Cruise is partial to special effects — not only in his movies, but also, it seems, in his shoes.
According to numerous published reports, Cruise is 5 feet, 7 inches tall and his wife-to-be, Katie Holmes, is between 5-feet-8 and 5-feet-9. As David Letterman put it to the 27-year-old starlet on his show last year: "He's shorter than you are!"

When Cruise and Holmes first went public with their romance last year in Rome, where they were frequently photographed smooching, their altitude difference was sharp and clear.

But on the red carpet at the L.A. premiere of "M:i:III" the other night, Tom and Katie were … well … exactly the same height!

And Katie was wearing what appeared to be white patent leather Roger Viviers that come with a 3 1/4-inch heel — which would have raised her height to over 6 feet.

So how is it that Tom could stand with her eye to eye, when he should have been staring at her chin?

Cruise's spokesman, Paul Bloch, insisted that nothing was out of the ordinary: "He had normal shoes on."

But the most plausible answer appears to be lifts — which, when built inside the heel of a standard dress shoe, can easily add inches.

After viewing photos of TomKat at the L.A. opening, where their knees were at the same level and Cruise's trousers were pooling around his ankles, Manhattan podiatrist Rock Positano said: "If the pants are all the way down to the ankle, you really can't see how much heel the person has.

"There's a lot of ways you can camouflage lifts," said Positano. "Occasionally we will see people who put lifts in their shoes for height, but we don't do it and we don't recommend it. Someone could hurt their knees or throw their backs out."

Nicole Kidman once joked on Letterman that, after her split from Cruise, "I can wear heels." But it looks like Tom is the one in heels now.

Why does he do it? We all know he is a short arse, so why pretend he is 6ft?? I can understand the small man syndrome.... but really... get over it Tom.

Nex thing you know, he'll grow a mustache.

Whoops, Kate ... looks like your nursing bra is coming undone. You might want to do it back up.

I forgot to mention I work part time in a specialist mens shoe shop, Tom's people called my people and ordered this rather fetching pair:

Those are simply delightful, my dear.

So THATS why she walks behind him. Then it appears he is taller or at the same height!!!! A mystery solved!

buttmunch · May 8th, 2006, 07:49 AM

No...she walks behind him because HE IS HER MASTER....

darksithbunny · May 8th, 2006, 07:52 AM

Well, ok that one too.

Notice that her jeans appear too long? (all scrunched up around her ankles). This is proof that the nice Co$ docs at the mothership have actually sawed off 3ins from her legs so Tommy The Tool looks taller.

IMO this says SO MUCH about this pathetic guy. (the fact that he wears lifts in his shoes.) How LAME! Such a clear-cut example of showing how image-obsessed & what a control freak he is. Everything i read about this weirdo lately, makes me cringe.

Oh yeah, and nice little *accidental* flash of the nursing bra, Katie! Gee, think that was planned? To show us all another little tidbit of "proof" that she really was pregnant and is now nursing a baby. This hoax is sickening. These people are wackos, plain & simple. Everything they do, is so carefully planned out for display to the media, to further their "agenda". CRAZY!!!

Next thing you know she's going to lactate right into a camera-man's face...or show her 'leakage' through her shirt. Grim times ahead, indeed.
