Together at last: Busy bee Katie Holmes finally gets some family time with husband Tom Cruise and daughter Suri

The Cruises: Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and daughter Suri leave NYC. Katie has been in town to promote her new film, Don't Be Afraid of the Dark



Katie Holmes is working hard for her money.



The 32-year-old actress has been a busy bee while promoting her new film, Don't Be Afraid of the Dark.



But she got to spend some quality time with husband Tom Cruise and daughter Suri today as they left New York City today.







Suri and friends: TomKat hold their daughter and her multiple stuffed animals





Katie wore skinny jeans and a bright green sweater while Tom, 49, looked casual in jeans and grey T-shirt.



Five-year-old Suri was the bright belle of the ball, though, in a flowered dress, bejewelled flip-flops carrying a multi-coloured umbrella and several stuffed animals including a Hello Kitty.



She certainly hasn't been bored while mum has been hitting the talk show circuit, though.

The mini-fashionista spent a day with her Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol star father yesterday playing at an indoor gym and at NYC's Chelsea Piers.



Katie is set to make a guest appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon tonight.



She looked simple and chic in a white T-shirt and black jeans and a 'S' necklace, presumably meant for daughter Suri.





Under her umbrella: Suri looks fashionable fighting the rain





While on the New York-based show, she and Fallon play an intense game of Pictionary.

They also discuss her latest project, the Guillermo Del Toro-directed horror film Don't Be Afraid of The Dark.



It tells the story of a young girl who's sent to live with her father and his new girlfriend, only to discover creatures in her new home that want to claim her as their own.

What the Holmes & Yang fashion designer isn't afraid of is her sexy side: she admits to loving lingerie.



She tells Australia's InStyle magazine that she has a personal affection for days of the week and hot-pink underwear.



'They make you feel special when you put them on in the morning,' she said, adding, 'I love the hot pink ones, that makes my day!'



It's always the quiet ones who have a hidden sexy side, isn't it?

By Daily Mail Reporter





Doting parents: Tom Cruise cuddles his daughter Suri as they landed in New York with Katie Holmes this morning





She may be old enough to go to school, but it seems Suri Cruise is still very much the baby of her family.



The 5-year-old was coddled and cosseted by her famous parents Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes as they touched down in New York this morning.



Her father had her wrapped up in a pink security blanket and carried her in his arms after they arrived via helicopter.



Baby of the family: The 5-year-old was wrapped up in a security blanket





Her mother was left holding yet more baby blankets and handful of toys.



She was later spotted carrying her daughter into their hotel.



Katie, 32, was wearing the same clothes - including a pair of leopard print trousers - from the night before after jetting straight out of LA on Sunday night.



The couple were seen leaving the Nokia Centre hand-in-hand after watching the Firework singer perform on her California Dreams tour.



Travelling in style: The family touched down in a private helicopter





They co-ordinated their footwear for the occasion, both stepping out in suede boots.



Of course, Perry is the wife of 49-year-old Tom's Rock of Ages co-star Russell Brand.



However, Brand is on a tour of his own, performing his comedy show in Canada over the weekend.



Mummy's girl: Katie later carried her daughter into their New York hotel





Meanwhile, Katie this week spoked to Australia's InStyle magazine where she revealed she loves 'hot-pink' knickers and recently bought Tom a guitar as a romantic gift.



She told the magazine every woman should spend money on good lingerie.



'They make you feel special when you put them on in the morning,' she said.



'Even when I was a little girl, I loved my "days of the week" pairs.



'I love the hot-pink ones, that makes my day!'



Romantic date: Tom and Katie were spotted leaving Katy Perry's concert in Los Angeles last night



Hand-in-hand: The pair showed their affection for each other as they headed home





Talking about buying Tom the same brand of guitar as used by Carlos Santana, she added: 'When I was in New York City I went to a guitar store because my husband is playing a rock star in Rock of Ages.



'I had no idea what I was dong, so I just said, 'Hi, I need your help'.



'I ended up buying the brand Santana uses but I really got it because I thought, "This is going to look great in family photos".'

'I was so scared I barked at it': Katie Holmes opens up on her lifelong fear... of raccoons

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Revealing her fears: Katie Holmes admitted she's terrified of raccoons as she appeared on The Tonight Show last night

Katie Holmes' latest film role sees her playing a stepmother living in a haunted house.

But when it comes to real-life, the actress admits she's actually terrified of raccoons.

Promoting her new movie Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark on Jay Leno's Tonight Show, the 32-year-old revealed she loses her cool when near one of the furry mammals.


'Crazy lady': Host Jay Leno was bemused when Holmes admitted she barked at a raccoon

With Holmes spending a lot of the year living in New York City with husband Tom Cruise and their daughter Suri, Leno suggested the actress should be used to the creatures.

He said: '"Raccoons? Well you picked the wrong city young lady to live in. Why raccoons? Is it the mask? Do you think they're criminals? What is it?'

She replied: You know, most things are like dogs, you know, they're more afraid of you than you are of them and I don't find that.


Hot to trot: Holmes showed off her slim figure in a tight pair of red leather trousers


Holmes' defence mechanism prompted laughter from the audience, with Leno conceding: 'He's like, this lady's crazy.'

Also on the show, Holmes admitted her recent birthday surprise for Cruise was ruined when her plans were leaked to the media.

She explained: 'His birthday is in July and we were in Florida and I was really excited and I threw him a little kind of dinner party.

'Then it turned out that it was in the press, it was like this huge blowout, but it was really only like ten people, but I was like, okay, that's fine.'

Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark is released in the U.S. on August 26 and in the UK on October 7.

She's quite the handful! Katie Holmes carries her growing daughter Suri as they go shoe shopping in L.A.

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Carry on: Katie Holmes carried her five-year-old daughter Suri as they shopped for dance shoes in Los Angeles earlier today

Little Suri Cruise may be growing up fast, but her mother Katie Holmes seemed to have no trouble carrying her today.

Katie gave her daughter a lift as they paid a visit to Worldtone Dance in Los Angeles to buy dancing shoes.

Mother and daughter looked happy and relaxed as they strolled through the parking lot, with Suri clutching her favourite doll.


Adorable: Suri looked pretty in a bright pink dress and silver ballet pumps as she clutched her favourite doll


The daughter of Katie and husband Tom Cruise looked pretty in a bright pink dress and silver ballet pumps while her mother was dressed casually in a pair of slim fitting jeans and denim shirt.

The youngster also seemed to be wearing a blue shade of nail polish on her hands.
But despite Suri's love of clothes, it seemed Katie was buying shoes for herself on this occasion.


Sneak peek: Suri seemed to enjoy herself as her mother looked at the shoes in the store


She was seen in the store holding a pair of adult gold dancing shoes.

However, the 32-year-old actress has admitted in the past that she pays attention to her daughter's fashion taste.

'She’ll really tell me [what she thinks],' Katie told Elle magazine earlier this year.

'She’ll say, "You’ve got to wear these shoes." Or "That’s so pretty, Mom. Wear that." She’s got a great eye.'


Bold in gold: The casually dressed actress holds a pair of gold strappy dancing shoes as she looks around the store


Tom Cruise is currently in Florida filming musical movie Rock of Ages alongside Alec Baldwin and Russell Brand.

He plays a long-haired, tattooed rocker called Stacee Jaxx, and has been practising for the role at home.

'Tom is such an amazing performer. Yes, we have music in our house and it’s amazing,' Katie revealed to Access Hollywood recently.

Just like mummy... Suri Cruise pushes along her own baby girl during a shopping trip with her mother Katie Holmes

Let's Play Mother: Suri Cruise pushes her doll along on a shopping trip to the Brentwood Country Mart with Katie Holmes

Suri Cruise had a go at Let's Play Mother this weekend when she trotted along with a baby doll in a pushchair.

The five-year-old visited the Brentwood County Mart with her own mother Katie Holmes and upped the cuteness stakes as she pushed her dolly along.

According to an eyewitness, Suri stopped at various points during her outing to check on the doll and 'make sure it was ok'.

The youngster was dressed in a smart polka dot blouse with a floral print skirt and turquoise flats later switching to a pair of flip flops.

Meanwhile her mother Katie, 32, wore a chic summer dress emblazoned with a floral print, a long white cardigan and tan ankle boots.

The two made their way into Brentwood Country Mart, where a variety of specialist boutiques and eateries are based.

Katie Holmes recently appeared on the cover of Vogue Spain in a provocative ensemble that revealed her edgier side.

A change to her usual, more sensible approach to fashion.

You can leave your hat on! It's Leisure Cruise as Tom winds down with his girls

By Daily Mail Reporter


It's not a matter of public record as to whether Tom Cruise is a fan of The Full Monty, but he certainly seems to draw inspiration from the 1997 smash hit about Sheffield steel workers here.

Or at least the Tom Jones crooned version of Leave Your Hat On that staggers majestically at the apogee of the soundtrack, as that's just what he did in a Miami pool today.

The 49-year-old was enjoying some well earned leisure time with his wife Katie Holmes, 32 , and adorable daughter Suri, five , after toiling away on the set of new film, Rock of Ages.

You can leave your hat on: Tom kept his fedora in place as he played in the pool with Suri in Miami yesterday


It remains to be seen if the Randy Newman song covered by Jones, forms part of the play-list for the musical extravaganza, but Tom certainly seems attached to his fedora of late.

Katie and Suri both opted to brave a wet head, though the former wound her hair into a chignon to keep it from the chlorinated water, a look that it fast becoming a favourite of hers.

The Don't Be Afraid of the Dark star opted for a black bikini and white shorts when she hopped out of the pool, where she sat lovingly alongside her muscle-bound husband.

The Cruises looked like any other family enjoying some precious time together as they dined on pasta at the hotel, then opted to cool off in the secluded pool, where Tom helped Suri swim in an adorable show of father-daughter affection.

Suri appeared to be wearing a pink and blue swimming costume, rather than a dress as she did on Miami beach last month, when Katie had possibly been unprepared.

Tom was seen serenading his ladies at one point, no doubt with one of the rock classics he's been working on for the hotly tipped blockbuster.

It's the first break for the A-Lister since he was feted by 40 of his close friends and family members in a surprise party organised by Katie at SoHo Beach House in Miami, on July 3.

Among the attendees were Cruise's three children – Isabella, 18, and Connor, 16, from his marriage to Nicole Kidman.

The birthday shindig took place both inside the SoHo Beach House and on its roof, where guests dined on Italian dishes as well as chocolate cake, according to the People.com

Katie was delighted that she managed to pull off the surprise, and couldn't hide her glee as she arrived at the bash, looking lovely without a scrap of make-up.

Excited about the festivities, the mother-of-one then broke into dance, moving to the beat of some Caribbean music as she arrived for the party.

Well defined: Tom looked to be in incredible shape

Taking it easy: Tom hasn't had a break since his birthday earlier this month


Tom, dressed in a white shirt and his fedora hat yet again sat contently at the table as he kept a close eye on Suri who was playing with a beach ball nearby.

Ever the fashionista, Suri wore a grey striped dress paired with her favourite gold heels for the occasion,

She accessorised the look with some blue wayfarers and had painted her fingernails red

Katie had to say goodbye to her husband after the shindig, to fulfil work commitments, but was obviously keen to get back to Miami to see him.

The actor is giving his all to this adaptation of the Broadway musical, in which he stars alongside Russell Brand and Alec Baldwin as a long-haired, tattooed rocker called Stacee Jaxx.

It's a very different role for Cruise, and Katie has given her backing to the career departure by revealing that her husband likes to perform at their home.

'Tom is such an amazing performer. Yes, we have music in our house and it’s amazing,' she told Access Hollywood recently.

Why my Suri doesn’t wear a coat in the cold, by Katie Holmes

By Andrea Magrath


Freezing: Katie Holmes with daughter Suri Cruise who must have been shivering in her sleeveless white dress as they shopped in New York in November


Her daughter is one of the most photographed people, let alone children, on the planet.

So on occasion, it is inevitable that the cameras are going to witness Suri Cruise doing, or wearing, something that causes other parents to raise an eyebrow - from the now-infamous 'penis' sweets the five-year-old unknowingly selected in a store, to her penchant for heels.

And now Katie Holmes has explained the story behind the much-criticised pictures of Suri out in New York in freezing winter temperatures without a coat.


Speaking to InStyle US magazine, the 32-year-old admits to being embarrassed about the pictures.

She tells the magazine: 'Recently, Suri and I were taking a walk and a fight got started because it was cold outside and she didn't want to wear her coat.

'My philosophy is, well, fine, because after a block of walking you're going to ask me for your coat.

Battle: Katie defends pictures of her daughter without a coat in winter, saying she knows the five-year-old will inevitably ask for the coat 'after a block of walking'


'So the pictures of her [without a coat in cold weather] are sort of embarrassing, but I said, "Suri, I'll take the hit. Just put it on when you get cold".'

Katie insists she doesn't feel pressure to give Suri a little brother or sister. 'We already have a very big family; a full household with cousins who are over a lot,' she says. 'My biggest thing is making sure she's fully taken care of and doing well.'

The Mad Money star reveals how the family unit deals with their hectic schedules: 'We Skype, and we try not to go for a week without seeing each other,' Katie tells the magazine.

'Manly' romance: The actress reveals that Tom's taste in romance involves taking her flying in fighter jets


'We're also very good at setting up camp wherever we go.'

And Katie and Tom also find time for romance, though the actress says it's of a 'manly' style.

'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,' she recalls.

'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 realise this is pretty thrilling.'

No babies yet: Katie denies pregnancy rumours and insists she does not feel the pressure to give Suri a brother or sister


Katie has been in Cancun, Mexico, this week promoting her upcoming Adam Sandler comedy Jack and Jill.

She has revealed a lengthy list of other actresses she looks up to. 'I love Renée (Zellweger), she can do no wrong in my eyes,' she says.

'I relate to every character she embodies, because she has no pretence.

'I also love Amy Adams. She's so kind and talented, and whenever I watch her I think, "I want to be her friend" - I've seen Enchanted many times with my daughter.

'Meryl Streep, of course. And I love what Cate Blanchett brings to every movie she does.'
