As man and wife…

I’ll post more pics of the ceremony as they come in!

Newlyweds Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ official wedding photograph is causing controversy – because the groom appears to have grown three inches taller. At five foot nine, leggy Holmes has always been two inches taller than her five foot seven husband.

The couple released one photograph, which shows the actors holding hands, cheek-to-cheek in a candlelight courtyard of the 15th century Castello Odescalchi in Bracciano, Italy. In the full-length image, the 27-year-old BATMAN BEGINS beauty appears to be one inch shorter than Cruise, prompting photo experts to speculate if Holmes is hiding her bended knees underneath her lace Giorgio Armani gown.

It’s official: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are now husband and wife. The couple exchanged vows Saturday in front of more than 150 guests at the Odescalchi Castle in Lake Bracciano, Italy, their rep, Arnold Robinson, confirms to PEOPLE.

“The wedding was absolutely beautiful,” says a guest.

With thousands of fans, photographers and TV cameras watching from afar, Cruise and Holmes were joined by family – Katie’s dad Martin walked her down the aisle – and a slew of celeb pals, including Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, Brooke Shields and Chris Henchy, Victoria Beckham, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, and Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy, among others.

The sunset ceremony was performed by a Scientology minister, according to a statement from their reps. The wedding party included Cruise’s children, Isabella and Connor, the best man was Cruise’s best friend, David Miscavige – the head of the Church of Scientology – and Katie’s sister Nancy Blaylock served as the matron of honor.

Though initially there were questions about whether Cruise and Holmes’s marriage on Saturday was official – the Mayor of Bracciano, Italy, said the couple needed to have a civil ceremony in town in order to make it legal – Cruise’s reps say Tom and Katie took care of everything beforehand.

“As is customary for couples marrying outside of the United States, Cruise and Holmes officialized their marriage in Los Angeles prior to their departure for Italy,” according to the statement.

Other details released Saturday by the newlyweds:

• The bride: Holmes wore an off-the-shoulder Armani gown with a train in ivory silk cadis adorned in Valenciennes lace and Swarovski beaded crystal embroidery. Holmes also wore an ivory tulle floor-length veil and ivory silk shoes. Armani, which outfitted the entire wedding, also supplied Katie’s bouquet of calla lilies, as well as a champagne evening gown, which she wore at the reception.

• The groom: Cruise wore a navy blue Armani tux.

• The couple’s rings: Their rings were white gold Cartier with diamonds.

• The meal: After cocktails, guests were served Italian hors d’oeuvres, followed by a multi-course meal.

• The cake: Five-tiered white chocolate, decorated with marzipan roses, and studded with white chocolate chips.

• The entertainment: Italian singer Andrea Bocelli.

Saturday’s wedding started on a damp note, with scattered rain throughout the morning. Holmes and 7-month-old daughter Suri were escorted into the castle under a cluster of green umbrellas. A little over an hour later, the groom was escorted from the Hassler hotel in Rome to Lake Bracciano 18 miles away. With the sun going down, candles lit up the perimeter of the 15th-century castle as limousines carrying the guests drove through the gates.

Fans and media were kept at a safe distance from the castle: Police checkpoints prevented anyone unauthorized from getting too close, and journalists were stationed in the nearby town square.

LOTS MORE PICS AFTER THE JUMP!! (more…)

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are going to be remaking Mork and Mindy into a feature length film! Everything is in negotiations at the moment. They feel this would be an excellent project to work on together. Steven Spielberg declined to direct this one saying that Tom’s gotten too crazy even for him to work with. Tom is looking for an open minded director who will work in exchange for a ride on the mother ship. Yes, that ship is loaded with the latest technology including a device that speaks to L. Ron Hubbard from the home planet. I know, totally sweet!

And yes, Tom will of course have the white Scientology tent set up on location for free donuts and emeter readings. What about little Suri? Well, they have officially hired on Kate’s old baby sitter Jessica, to care for the tyke who is now closing in on her first birthday. Oops, have I said too much?

Dlisted

Yea, me either.  But TMZ has obtained a copy of the ever elusive Suri’s birth certificate.

TMZ has obtained a copy of the official birth certificate of the elusive Suri Cruise, daughter of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.

The document, filed with the Los Angeles County Register-Recorder/County Clerk, was filed May 8, 2006.  (Click on document to download) There are several interesting items of note:

First, St. John’s Hospital has a policy of filing birth certificates within 10 days of birth.  In this case, Suri was born on April 18 but the certificate was not filed until May 8, 20 days later.  An official from the hospital told TMZ that the delay occurred because they needed a signature from the parents or a representative of the parents certifying birth, and that person did not come in until May 4.  The person who signed is labeled “friend.”  The signature is not legible.

Also, the “Attendant or Certifier” who signed the certificate — Anne Heffernan, RNC – was not in the delivery room and did not see the baby.  But a hospital rep tells TMZ that Heffernan is authorized to sign when the doctor is not available.  A hospital rep said “normally the doctor signs” but it isn’t a requirement.

Finally, the hospital rep said that the circumstances that triggered the eventual signing of the birth certificate were that Suri needed a passport and a birth certificate is a prerequisite to obtaining one.

Three months after her birth, Baby Suri, is still unseen, even by the family’s closest friends. A source says Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have yet to show her off to fellow Scientologists John Travolta, Kelly Preston and Lisa Marie Presley. Even good pals Will and Jada Pinkett Smith supposedly have not met her, despite repeated calls to Cruise. “Every time, it’s a different excuse: He’s busy or Kate’s not feeling well,” says a source. ‘[The Smiths] think it’s so weird.”

Tom takes the train from Tokyo to Osaka on June 21st.  And meets lots of fans on the way.  He was in Tokyo for the premiere of MI III.
