Here’s to hoping that ‘Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol’ won’t suck. I have high hopes for this movie, since the first couple were actually really good. I love a GOOD Tom Cruise action film, they’re just hard to come by. I also wonder if Tom even has it in him anymore. It’s been such a long time since he’s had a good – blockbuster film. Is he even an A-List actor anymore?

Here’s the trailer – which in my opinion actually looks decent, but I’ve been fooled one too many times by a good trailer. I thought Knight & Day looked good.

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise stepped out last night at the premiere of her new movie, ‘Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark’. Celebitchy reports that the dress Katie is wearing was designed by – Katie! The dress is from Katie’s clothing line Holmes & Yang.

I actually really like the dress, and I think she looks beautiful!

Tom Cruise practiced rockin out on the balcony of his hotel room in Miami, Florida over the weekend. In an interview with Ryan Seacrest, Tom said he’s “having a blast” getting his musical feet wet.

The 48-year-old star, who plays aging rocker Stacee Jaxx in “Rock of Ages,” will sing Def Leppard’s, “Pour Some Sugar On Me,” as well as Bon Jovi’s famed power ballad, “Dead or Alive,” in the film, and Tom said he’s “learning a lot” about vocal performance.

“I’ve always loved music, but… there’s nothing like doing something yourself to give you a greater appreciation for what this art form is and it’s fantastic,” Tom told Ryan.

Julianne Hough, who plays Sherrie Christian in the musical, also had nothing but good things to say about working with Tom when Access recently caught up with the dancer/singer/actress.

“’Commitment’ does not sum up the whole Tom Cruise-ness. He is so unbelievable,” Julianne told Access as she teamed up with Cesar Canine Cuisine and the American Humane Association to kick off the voting campaign for the first Hero Dog Awards in New York City late last month. “It’s amazing.”

Julianne said Tom carries off his role as the successful, but aging rocker, Stacee, with aplomb.

“There’s no ounce of like, T.C. in that,” Julianne said, referring to Tom’s initials. “It’s all Stacee Jaxx, the character. He’s unbelievable.”

“Rock of Ages,” which also co-stars Catherine Zeta-Jones, Russell Brand and Alec Baldwin, is slated to hit theaters on June 1, 2012.

I love that Tom’s just practicing on the balcony. Wonder if he was actually singing – or just acting like he was singing. I think Katie’s face says it all.

Katie Holmes is InStyle’s August cover girl. In the interview, Katie opens up about how husband Tom Cruise keeps the romance alive, and how he’s “manly romantic”. She also opens up about the pressure to have another baby (she says no thanks!). I think she looks great inside the magazine, but I’m not a fan of the cover. She looks plastic.

Here are some highlights from the interview!

What’s a date night like with husband Tom Cruise?

“Two years ago he took me up on his P-51 Mustang, a fighter plane from World War II. He painted the words, ‘Kiss Me, Kate’ on the side,” Holmes says in the August issue of InStyle. “It feels like you’re on a bike in the sky. I thought, I’m either going to spend this whole flight totally freaked out or realize this is pretty thrilling.”

When you’re married to one of the world’s biggest movie stars, whom Holmes calls a “manly romantic,” life is bound to be exciting but also challenging when it comes to balancing careers and family.

On keeping the romance alive:

“In our family we have a policy: we make it work,” she says. “We Skype, and we try not to go for a week without seeing each other. We’re also very good at setting up camp wherever we go.”

On daughter Suri:

Wherever the couple goes, their 5-year-old daughter Suri is often in tow. The actress, who will next be seen in the horror film Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, credits her daughter with enriching her performances.

“My work has changed for the better,” Holmes notes. “I have more to bring to a role.”

On having another baby:

While the recent rumors that Holmes was pregnant turned out to be untrue, the actress says she doesn’t feel pressure to give Suri a sibling.

“We already have a very big family; a full household with cousins who are over a lot, and she has her friends,” Holmes says. “My biggest thing is making sure she’s fully taken care of and doing well.”

Experimenting with fashion:

“I’m not afraid to try a new designer or do something trendy, but it has to look right on my body. You don’t want to look like a fashion victim!”

On the excitement of landing new roles:

“Every time I get a job I cry. It sounds hokey, but it’s a sparkly moment that reminds you you’re living your dream every day. No matter how many roles you get, it’s like, ‘Somebody thinks I can do it!’”

On acting like a ‘lady’:

“I always try to conduct myself in a ladylike manner. That was my mom’s advice to me before every school dance, and it’s really locked in.”

I love the ‘Mission Impossible’ franchise, call me crazy. I love Tom Cruise in these movies – and sprinkle a little Jeremy Renner on top and color me happy!

Tom is currently filming ‘Rock of Ages’ in Miami. On Friday we got our first look at the ripped, tattooed, shirtless, tattooed singer he plays in the musical. See the picture here!

Over the weekend Katie stepped out in a bikini in Miami, while playing on the beach with Suri.
