While the ink isn’t yet dry on the deal, it is all but certain that Katie Holmes will make her Broadway debut this Fall, playing Ann Deever in the revival of Arthur Miller’s All My Sons.

Discussions to bring the actress to Broadway were confirmed back in March, and now a deal seems inevitable. Producer Eric Falkenstein tells OK! he thinks Katie is perfect for the part.

“Katie is very well suited for the role of Ann,” he says. “There is an additional layer of soul to Ann and from the work I’ve seen of Katie, she has always impressed with multi-faceted characters. She would nail it.”

Falkenstein also feels that Mrs. Cruise’s star-power won’t overshadow her acting ability. “Despite being in the spotlight and her celebrity status, the fact remains that she has a tremendous record of performances,” he says. “I think Katie is a tremendous actor. Whenever she decides to come to the stage she’ll be terrific.”

All my sons will hit Broadway with a preview in September and open a month later in October. A formal announcement is expected to take place within the next 10 days.

Does Katie have a bun in the oven?

Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and all the children enjoy a evening out at the LA Galaxy game, Suri found the cheering from the fans a little too loud and covered her ears but when big sister Isabella gives her a doll she looked a lot better. Tom, Katie and the kids join the Beckham children, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz in the Beckham box.

Get Suri a sippy cup, doctors say.

The 2-year-old — who was spotted sucking away on Monday in NYC — is too old for a bottle.

“Most pediatricians recommend a bottle should be given up by age 1 — almost certainly by 18 months,” Dr. Charlotte Cowan, author of the Dr. Hippo book series, tells Usmagazine.com.

Suri’s constant traveling could play a factor.

“When babies are challenged, their diet is upset, their sleep is upset,” Cowan says. “They will regress back to previous habits … lingering with a bottle is comforting. You could argue that her parents have decided that this is not the time to try to wean her off if they’re traveling frequently.”

Cowan advises Tom and Katie try to “distract [her] with something that might be more appealing, like a sippy cup.”

(Parents should start their children on sippy cups between 9 and 11 months, Cowan says.)

Still, Tom and Katie shouldn’t freak that Suri’s still glued to her bottle.

“We panic and feel as if we have to break a child of that habit before it’s really necessary to do so,” psychiatrist Dr. Keith Ablow, who has appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show, tells Us.

“We don’t have a wealth of experience that suggests from a psychological point of view children are harmed by using a bottle for too long,” he says.

Jokes Cowan: “Parents are always worried about getting their children off of bottles. I have never seen a child go to college with a bottle!”

Did any of you catch the Tom Cruise/Oprah interview?  I thought it was so creepy at the beginning with Katie.  I mean “Kate”.  I think she said “I love you” 10 times.  Totally sincere, I’m sure. 

These are great pictures, though.  It’s been a while since we’ve seen the three of them together.  I don’t care what you TomKat-haters say… Suri is beautiful!

Tom Cruise has defended his infamous couch-jumping appearance on The Oprah Winfrey show in a new interview with the US chat-show host.

The Hollywood actor was widely ridiculed in 2005 when he repeatedly jumped on Oprah’s couch and pumped his fist in an exuberant profession of his love for then fiancée Katie Holmes.

But in Friday’s interview, the second part of which will be shown on US TV on Monday, the 45-year-old said he would not go back in time to change his actions.

“That was a moment, and it was real, and I don’t know if I would [do it differently],” he said.

“I really don’t.”

But in the interview, recorded at the Colorado home he shares with Holmes and their two-year-old daughter Suri, he admitted regretting his apparent criticism of the medicated treatment of depression in comments made in the weeks after his original Oprah interview.

“When you look at something, it’s an individual’s right to make a decision on what they’re going to do with their life,” he said.

Cruise also defended his Scientology faith to the chat-show host and insisted it allowed for the “respect [of] the religious beliefs of others”.

And he laughed off rumors his marriage was a publicity stunt and that Suri, two, was not his daughter.
