LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Tom Cruise is in deep, deep smit with his new love, Katie Holmes. Not only will he not stop talking about her, but his actions are sending a deliberate message to the world.
In an interview with MTV News, the "Collateral" star says that he knew what impression his public appearance with Holmes at Italy's equivalent of the Oscars in April would make.

"When I make a move like that, I'm saying, 'This is my woman,'" says Cruise. "You can't think in terms of what are people going to do or say. [Stepping out with her publicly is] saying, 'I want to share my life with this woman; this woman is exceptional, she is special, she is extraordinary and I have great respect for her.'"

"It's saying, 'I got nothing to hide. I'm happy,'" he continues. "I'm happy, man ... she is something else."

Cruise gushes even more on the Monday, May 23 edition of "Access Hollywood."

"I love this woman. I am so happy and I am not going to pretend or hide it or be shy. This woman is magnificent," he says, adding, "I've always seen how talented she was."

Although the couple has the support of family and friends, the media is still uncertain about how much the 42-year-old Cruise can have in common with the 26-year-old Holmes.

"She likes all the stuff that I love to do, she's funny and smart," he tells the entertainment newsmagazine. "We go scuba diving together."

Besides sharing mutual hobbies, Cruise and Holmes both have potential blockbusters opening this summer. Holmes' "Batman Begins" opens nationwide on Wednesday, June 10, two weeks before Cruise's "War of the Worlds" invades theaters on June 29.

This is just too weird for me

**KKCondrey** · 05-20-2005, 06:08 PM

Yeah, I saw that a few weeks ago. They recently went on vacation with his kids

**Daphne** · 05-20-2005, 06:32 PM

it seems weird and too soon for me too. But you never know. A lot of people think it's publicity. I guess time will tell. This Monday he will be on Oprah talking about it and they bring her on the show too.

**bamamomto4** · 05-20-2005, 09:45 PM

I bet she was running around on Chris Klein! I would never,not even with Tom Cruise!! lol

**Daphne** · 05-20-2005, 09:51 PM

I wouldn't either Tammy!

**momof42003** · 05-20-2005, 11:34 PM

Yeah I had heard about this one a couple of weeks ago too... At least we didn't find out they were together AFTER they were married like Kenney Chesney and Renee Zelweger....

I hope it's publicity. This would be the equivalent of my dating one of my oldest's friends.

"I've always seen how talented she was."

Sounds like publicity to me.

Unfortunately, I haven't seen how talented she is.

I love Katie Holmes! She seems really down to earth to me, but that might have just been how her "character-Joey" was on Dawson's Creek. I am looking forward to watching Oprah tomorrow! That should be interesting!

**handmerounds** · 05-23-2005, 11:06 PM

Did anyone watch today's oprah show?

**Daphne** · 05-24-2005, 07:10 AM

I watched it and I am just not sure what to think about the way he was acting. It was almost like he was on something. sure I believe in having that instant attraction to someone but they spent almost 30 minutes talking about Katie. Just seemed so strange.

**handmerounds** · 05-24-2005, 10:19 AM

I thought his behavior was a little strange also! I didn't know what to think about that either. It seems like he would have been a little more reserved about his feelings for her. Just in case she would break his heart. But I guess at least he puts it out there, and like he said he doesn't play games!

**bamamomto4** · 05-24-2005, 06:27 PM

I didn't watch but from I read on the net about them...he just seems like a dog in heat lol Kinda like "I'm old and can still get a (younger) woman!"

Don't get me wrong..I have always like Tom Cruise. I LOVED Top Gun and can watch that movie over and over again.But their relationship just seems odd to me. It's not the age thing either....yea he's older,and she seems SO much younger than him.Maybe it's because he's been around (acting) a LOT longer than she has...

**mtjsmom** · 05-24-2005, 09:53 PM

Sounds like a HUGE publicity stunt to me..Funny how they are both in "summer blockbusters" this year..I wanna see all that love in November when their movies have been out and nobody cares..thats when i wanna see tom all goo-goo over "Kate"
