Leave it to Tom Cruise to one-up Victoria’s Secret model Adriana Lima in the diva preparation department. While Adriana may very well eschew solids for nine days and exercise twice per day for her chosen art, Tom took his role as rocker Stacee Jaxx in Rock of Ages so seriously that he reportedly sang five hours per day and then added another daily dose of five hours strictly dedicated to dancing. Well, I guess this sort of explains why Mr. Desperate To Please was photographed rocking out on a balcony to universal cringes. All of this fuss happened just so that Tom was able to belt out songs such as “Pour Some Sugar on Me” to the best of his ability. Still, Tom bestows all credit upon Katie for his relatively newfound fascination with dancing:
On Dancing: “I had started dancing because I was inspired by my wife. She kept saying, ‘You’ve got to do a musical sometime,’ Kate’s a dancer, so she would say, ‘Let’s go to dance class,’ and she would take us and that’s how I kind of came up with the idea of Les Grossman doing hip-hop. And then to take it to this level with this? It was really fun.”
On Preparing For His Role: “I was working on it when I was finishing Mission and I was singing five hours a day and I was dancing five hours a day. Adam said, ‘Look, we’re going to have a lot of fun,’ and we really did…. I did six months preparing for the movie, and all my stunt training and all of those years doing that, it helped me with the choreography.”
On Working With Director Adam Shankman: “He’s on fire. What he accomplished with Hairspray was amazing. My daughter has seen it 15 times and our whole family has watched it over and over and it’s just enormously entertaining. To be able to hold that tone throughout is really something.”

I kind of love that Tom went home at night from the Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol set and headed straight into dancing mode. After all, nothing quite polishes off a day of dangling from a giant phallus as, say, doing the hustle in the pale moonlight. Really though, I am somewhat impressed by Tom’s devotion to be the best little dancer that he can possibly be, but ten hours per day of practice is a bit excessive although not entirely inconceivable because — let’s face it — Tom is manic. He is the classic unhinged, lift-wearing midget. He must be exhausting to be around, which is probably one reason that Katie looks so zoned out all of the time. Seriously, when these two make whoopie (shut up, you know that’s what they call it), Tom still feels the need for speed. Yuck.
In addition, no one should be the least surprised that Tom loves Hairspray, and I’d be willing to bet that he’s the one who encouraged Suri to watch it fifteen times. “Awww, dad …. again?” Seriously, Tom probably admires John Travolta for having the metaphorical balls to wear a dress in that movie; yet Tom must also take comfort in the fact that he’s the one who’s brave enough to wear the heels in Rock of Ages. And for that matter, in all of his other movies as well.

These are some new photos of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes (and Suri!) from the weekend, where Tom continues to film One Shot in Pittsburgh, and Katie and Suri continue to look kind of zonked out for the paparazzi. Katie had been improving over the summer - her style was getting better, her hair and makeup looked great, there was life in her eyes - but now that she?s back to spending her days (and nights?) with Tom, it seems like Xenu is taking its (his?) toll. Hey, at least she?s not trying to make those overalls ?happen? again. I really like her bellbottom jeans in the photos with Suri.
In the pics where she?s wearing the purple skinny jeans, I think she?s trying too hard to look like Duchess Kate. This seems like a Duchess Kate ?casual? outfit, as interpreted by Katie.
As for Tom, he looks to be in good spirits, having worn his special ?casual day? lifts so that he?s a full inch taller than his wife. Get a good look at his boots - they?re like clown shoes! They?re comically oversized, probably with the latest in lift technology. He even manhandled her for the paparazzi. I love that Katie seems like she?s wincing a little bit. The first photo (below) should be a caption contest:

Bringing an end to a work-free weekend, Tom Cruise joined Katie Holmes and Suri for a day out in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on Sunday (October 9).
The trio made their way over to a local Starbucks, with Suri pushing a toy stroller while sharing a stuffed panda bear with her famous father along the way.
As previously reported by GossipCenter, the Cruise clan is in the Steel city as Tom shoots a brand new movie titled "One Shot".
Never short on work, Cruise is also rumored to be in talks with Warner Bros. to take the lead role in Doug Liman's manga-inspired sci-fi war epic called "We Are Mortals" - a role in which Brad Pitt was also mentioned as a possibility.

Showing her support for her super actor hubby, Katie Holmes was spotted arriving on the set of ?One Shot? to visit Tom Cruise.
The ?Don?t Be Afraid of the Dark? dame looked cute in flats, leggings and a gray sweater as she turned up to spend some time with her ?Top Gun? stud spouse.
Speaking of Holmes? recent thriller ?Don?t Be Afraid of the Dark,? she told the Daily Mirror, ?I like scary movies, and I like to be affect when I watch a film. When you watch a scary movie and it?s well done, it takes you on a rollercoaster and you feel exhausted afterwards- but in a great way.?
?I think it's more than entertainment. It's a relief and it's a release. That's what entertainment and storytelling is supposed to do,? the actress went on to say.

Proving that he?s still got it, Tom Cruise stepped up to a dance floor challenge over the weekend at a wedding in Palm Springs.
The ?Knight & Day? actor busted out his best dance moves at the nuptials of David Ellison and Sandy Modic, with TMZ obtaining the not-to-be missed video footage.
Ellison is the son of software billionaire, Larry Ellison, and is set to be a producer on Tom?s upcoming ?Mission Impossible? flick.
With wife Katie Holmes in attendance too, a playful Cruise took the floor and wowed the crowd with a half-split jump move!
Meanwhile, the "Top Gun" hunk has since gotten back in work mode while spotted today (October 6) on the set of his newest project "One Shot".

These are the newish photos of Tom Cruise with his new, fancy haircut. I?m not in love with the cut, but it?s probably more age-appropriate for Tom. He?s 49 years old, after all. He can?t do the longish, rock-n-roll hair forever, and God knows, he could still pass for a man 10 or 15 years younger, but I still don?t really like the short look on Tom. CB loves it, and says that if he was 6 inches taller, she would be giving him a second glance. Speaking of Tom?s height (and his lifts!), Tom got this haircut for his new role in One Shot. Apparently, there?s been some controversy with fans of the book - they say Tom is much, much too short.
There’s been a mixed reaction to the news that Tom Cruise is to take on the lead role in his upcoming film adaption of Lee Child’s thriller One Shot. But the 49-year-old actor is continuing with his preparations for the role regardless. The Mission: Impossible star had his hair specially cut for the part in New York.
Some fans of the book have protested against Tom Cruise’s casting, highlighting the problem that the actor is nearly a foot too short for the role. The character Jack Reacher, who Cruise is to play, is six feet five inches tall to the actor’s meagre five foot seven.
Readers have also complained that Tom is also ‘too’ good-looking to play Jack, who is not meant to be especially attractive.
Tom has bought the rights to the One Shot film, which is to be directed by The Usual Suspects writer Christopher McQuarrie. Die Another Day star Rosamund Pike is set to play the female lead.
Jack Reacher is an ex-United States Army Military Police Major, who has a knack for finding trouble. Filming has already commenced for the film, which is due for release in 2013.

Yeah, the height thing would probably bother me too if I had read and liked the book (which I may check out now). If they needed someone tall, why not Timothy Olyphant, y?all? Tall dudes need love (and movie roles) too.
Oh, I wanted to mention this cute little story in In Touch Weekly. Apparently, Tom Cruise has ensured that Suri has a ?million dollar jewelry box.” Tom ?loves buying jewelry for her, especially vintage and estate pieces? and a friend says, “He’ll see something he likes and just buy it for Suri to give to her when she is older.” That?s actually really nice. I bet Katie sets aside pieces of jewelry for Suri too.

I waited through two bottles of wine for something interesting to happen today, and as of ten p.m., the best I could come up with was “Tom Cruise got a haircut.” It’s probably best if we never mention this post again.

Bidding farewell to the Big Apple after a whirlwind promotional tour, Katie Holmes was spotted boarding a private helicopter alongside husband Tom Cruise and daughter Suri late last evening (August 9).
Seen leaving their New York City pad dressed in sunglasses, t-shirts and jeans, mom and dad did their best to protect dress-wearing Suri from the nearby photogs while having her hold onto a Disney umbrella to keep her face out of view.
The after-dark departure follows Katie's visit to "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon," in which she stopped by NBC Studios to give press to her new horror flick "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark."
During her time on set, Homles got interactive with the crowd as well as the funnyman host as she joined in on a game of Pictionary.
While both Fallon and the "Dawson's Creek" star were teamed up with suitable audience member teammates, it was eventually Fallon who came up on top with his game-winning sketch of an iPad.

These are photos of Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and Suri from their big weekend in LA. The night photos - of just Tom and Katie - are from last night, where Tom took his girl to a Katy Perry concert, like every 50-year-old husband does?? Girl, get it together! Katy Perry?!? I don?t know which one to mock more, Katie or Tom. At best, Katie loves Katy Perry, and Katie chose this concert as their date night, and Tom was just making his girl happy. At worst, Tom was like, ?Gurl, we need to see Katy shake that ass!? and Katie sighed and asked for another credit card.
Should we even talk about Katie?s concert ensemble? That outfit is like dong repellent. Tom is all, ?Bitch, I wasn?t even going near it anyway!? Also: Katie just looks high as hell whenever she?s around Tom these days. Does she have it on a schedule? Like, ?Take Quaaludes at 8 p.m., Concert with Tom, 9 p.m.? Oh, and Connor is with them! Dude.
Before the concert, on Saturday, Katie had an outing with Suri and Suri?s little doll. I love the look of concentration on Suri?s face, like she?s two seconds away from bitching out the paparazzi for photographing her doll. ?PRIVACY!? Suri would yell. As for Katie?s ensemble here? well, it?s not good. I thought Katie?s style was finally improving after she began making some pretty good choices in jeans and styling. But she?s relapsed! And she?s also wearing that fug hat that Tom was wearing for months.

Tom Cruise, not filming scenes, rocked out on the balcony of his SoHo hotel room in Miami, Florida yesterday to give the crowd below a taste of what his upcoming film Rock of Ages would be like.
So, if you guessed it’d be like a shirtless Tom Cruise flamboyantly hopping around a balcony with a tasseled mic stand, then congratulations, you’re psychic! Can you tell me the winning lotto numbers too, Mr. Smarty Pants?
