ABC is enlisting the help of a Holmes-grown talent.

Following in the stunt-casting footsteps of Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and Victoria Beckham, Katie Holmes is going back to where it all began—the small screen—guest-starring in an episode of the ABC drama Eli Stone set to air this fall, the network confirms to E! News.

Holmes will play a singing and dancing non-profit attorney and will appear in the second episode of the season.

The casting announcement had been expected since photos surfaced last night of Holmes, Tom Cruise and Suri walking around the set at Los Angeles' Union Station.

Has Maverick set his sights on a new Iceman?

The Top Gun's teenage son, Connor, has been taking flying lessons at a Burbank airfield.

At his father's airplane hangar in Burbank this past Saturday afternoon—and after doing a few tricks on one of his two motorcycles—Connor boarded a small prop airplane for his flying lesson.

While it may not necessarily signal future play dates between Suri and Sunday, it's a nice gesture nonetheless.

To congratulate Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban on the birth of daughter Sunday Rose Kidman Urban, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes sent a humongo baby basket chock-full of items to the Top Gunner's ex-wife in Nashville, per People.

The gift included chenille giraffe baby blankets as well as newborn necessities from the high-end Hermès baby collection.

No word, however, if Suri's one red shoe was part of the present.

While some celebrated the holiday weekend with a Budweiser, the Cruise family enjoyed theirs with Becks.

E! News has learned that David and Victoria Beckham, along with their sons, flew to Telluride, Colo., on Saturday afternoon to spend part of the weekend with Tom Cruise and family.

Sometimes a nose is just a nose. As Tom Cruise knows.

In what is some much-needed good news for the actor's beleaguered WWII flick Valkyrie, Slate has been forced to publish an embarrassing correction retracting its claim that Cruise's United Artists may have digitally altered a photo of the film's subject, German hero Claus von Stauffenberg, to look more like Cruise.

Uh-oh. Someone's been glib.

And sadly for Dr. Drew Pinsky, the price of such an affront has risen in the past three years from simple YouTube parody to complete public evisceration.

Tom Cruise's ever-vigilant lawyer has lashed out at comments made by the Loveline and Celebrity Rehab doc in which he not so subtly speculated that people drawn to so-called cult religions (and specifically, Cruise to Scientology) likely do so as a result of childhood trauma, neglect and mental illness.

Attorney Bert Fields wasted no time in rallying back with a stunner of a theory of his own: namely, that such diagnoses have not been heard since the height of Nazi Germany.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' new Beverly Hills palace served as ground zero for an  A-list playdate Sunday.

A source tells E! News Suri Cruise was joined by David and Victoria Beckham's brood—Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz—for the kid-superstar summit.

The tots broke for dinner at about 5 p.m. after tooling around in miniature cars, including a small-fry-size John Deere truck and Escalade.

Now that they've gotten the star-studded housewarming party at their new Beverly Hills estate out of the way, are Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes also planning on taking up residence in the Big Apple?  

Well, Katie has been busy preparing to make her debut on the Great White Way this fall in Arthur Miller's All My Sons. And the play's producer, Eric Falkenstein, tells the New York Post, "She and Tom are committed to keeping the family together, so they have to get an apartment here."

Wonder if they'll bring Posh and Becks along as roomies?

When you buy a Beverly Hills estate for a reported $35 million, you don’t just throw any old housewarming party.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes hosted a lavish, over-the-top housewarming last night for more than 500 guests. The couple and their daughter, Suri, recently moved into the 10,000-square-foot home with seven bedrooms and 10 bathrooms, which they purchased last year.

The party was a who’s who of A-listers. Reese Witherspoon showed up holding hands with boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal. Kimora Lee Simmons, wearing a red cocktail dress, arrived with Djimon Hounsou. Eva Longoria Parker, in canary yellow cocktail dress, brought her sister as her date. Prince, Sean Combs, Kirstie Alley and Oprah Winfrey all attended the bash.

For those who can't wait to see Tom Cruise go all Nazi in the forthcoming, thrice-pushed back Hitler-killer thriller Valkyrie, don't knock on Terence Stamp's door.

"I don't know anything," confessed Cruise's costar, about why the Bryan Singer-directed WWII flick has been so steeped in delay-laden turmoil.

While promoting his much-lighter Get Smart with Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway in Los Angeles today, Stamp likened the Valkyrie process to a huge party with hippie kids, ecstasy and trance music. But in a good way.

"It's like a rave," Stamp said of the shifting feature. "You don't get the address until the last minute." That address is currently February 13, 2009, so, like see you there? We'll pay double to see Cruise wave around some glow sticks, wearing a Cat-in-the-Hat hat and toting one of Suri's pacifiers.
