Katie Holmes marvelled at her daughter Suri’s growing up – fast.

“She’s doing really well. She’s growing up really, really fast,” Holmes said during a brief appearance at a party at the Chateau Marmont with her husband, Tom Cruise.

Holmes said her daughter talks at a rate of knots and is spectacular. “She is magical.”

Suri, 3, has been eating up the cameras during spells in Melbourne, Australia and Boston, Massachusetts while her high-flying actor parents complete their respective film projects.

Holmes said she and Cruise have travelled of late, making it “great to be out”. Holmes appeared in a chic, cutting-edge outfit, while Tom wore jeans in photos that surfaced. The discreet pair turned up to support friends that included Ben Stiller, Shirley MacLaine, Chace Crawford, Ashley Olsen, Jared Leto, Adam Lambert, Lindsay Lohan and Woody Harrelson.

Katie Holmes has treated her co-star Bailee Madison, nine, to a trip to the theatre to help them become friends.

The pair are currently in Melbourne, Australia, making the horror flick Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark with Aussie actor Guy Pearce.

The star took Bailee to see a matinee performance of the musical Wicked as a special treat.

Katie, who is also looking after daughter Suri, three, while her husband Tom travels with his Australian friend James Packer, plays Bailee’s mom in the film.

A source on set said: “Katie has taken Bailee under her wing. She knows what it’s like to be young and to be working on a film set so she’s been looking after Bailee as best she can.

“The trip to the theatre was a special treat. They sneaked in a back way so that they wouldn’t be noticed. They had a wonderful time. The pair get on well, and Bailee is looking forward to meeting Suri.”

The pair have been going though readings of the movie at the film set in Melbourne for the past couple of weeks. Shooting is expected to move out on location in the coming days.

Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise took his family along to catch a performance of the hit musical Jersey Boys.

The Mission Impossible actor snuck his three year old Suri in the back door of a Melbourne theater to catch a matinee of the show he loves.

Katie Holmes, meanwhile, followed behind in a long, white coat looking serious but broke into a slight shy smile just before going inside.

Suri looked gorgeous in a red sequined dress and black jacket as her dad carried her inside. Audience member Susan told Australia’s Morning Show comperes that she sat right behind the family through the performance and there was ‘not a peep out of Suri’.

She said after interval at the Princess Theatre, Suri had a box of chocolate covered malt flavoured balls, Maltesers.

Holmes was wearing black pants and a tiny top that showed her midriff under her coat, Susan said, noting: “It must have been freezing.”

The trio then went backstage after the show to chat with crew and cast.

Hollywood stars Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and their young daughter Suri Cruise have arrived in Melbourne.

Cruise was glimpsed by television cameras walking down the steps of an aircraft carrying an apparently sleeping Suri, her head buried in his shoulder.

The high power couple arrived in their private jet at suburban Essendon airport at the start of winter today – out of the way of international airport crowds, media and traffic.

The pair were expected to make their way to the luxury suite awaiting them at the Crown Casino, a glitzy tower that fits into Melbourne’s futuristic new skyline.

Holmes will work at a Docklands’ movie studio on Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark in what is being reported as a media-free zone.

The lockdown is one of many attempts to roll out the best in star treatment for the Cruises.

Cruise has a previous connection with Australia through his former wife, Nicole Kidman, and the attention and economy he generated making Mission Impossible II in Sydney.

Sporting black capris, ballet flats, and a billowy black and blue blouse, a very stylish Holmes – without husband Tom Cruise and daughter Suri – was spotted on Saturday afternoon on the Capitol grounds rehearsing for the big event.

Holmes, portrayed Staff Sergeant Pequeño’s sister Elizabeth opposite Wiest, who portrayed his mother Nellie, appeared emotional during her solemn reading but managed to smile brightly before leaving the stage – even giving one gentleman onstage a high-five.

Other celebrities on hand for the star-studded concert included actors Laurence Fishburne, co-hosts Gary Sinise and Joe Mantegna, and singer Katharine McPhee.

There was “no obvious foul play” in the death of the brother-in-law of Hollywood star Katie Holmes, it has been revealed.

While the exact cause of Fretti’s death will take weeks to be determined, the Sarasota medical examiner has confirmed to RadarOnline.com that there were “no obvious signs of foul play”.

Dr Russell Vega added: “There was no sufficient evidence to determine the cause of the death. We are going to do tissue tests, blood test and toxicology tests.”

After a series of fashion booboos there is finally a positive air about Katie Holmes and it’s not just her daughter Suri Cruise. Katie Holmes has been known to change her hair and her fashion sense now and again but she sparked a bob revolution when she cut her hair in a short bob. The bob has been Katie Holmes’ signature hair look for over a year now but surprise! Katie Holmes surprised the paparazzi in Tokyo last week when she showed up at the Valkyrie red carpet in lush, long and full locks. The whole Cruise family including 3-year old Suri arrived in Japan Sunday.

Katie Holmes’ new “do” is reminiscent of her Dawson Creek days when she still had a totally different personality. People have indeed missed the pre-Tom Cruise Katie Holmes that even a small reminder to her pre-robot days, even as trivial as a hairdo, made her followers happy. The longer locks of the 30-year old actress is not however a miracle but a product of hair extensions added to her short cropped hair.

Is there anyone reading this post who is boring enough and does not want to see the sweetheart of the town Katie Holmes singing and dancing.

No one!!! I knew that there will be none. In fact she is such a hot chic that her favors should not be restricted to Tom Cruise only.

The attractive Katie Holmes has recorded an appearance on the new season of the series, “Eli Stone”. Although it was a guest appearance but the cast of the show is stunned by her manifestation.

She totally mesmerized them all. One of the actor Jonny Lee Miller, who plays a lead character told, “She is amazing in the show. She was just a really, really nice person to have around. Really great work ethic. She was awesome.”

The fans and lovers of the gorgeous Katie Holmes can see her appearance on the show on October 21.

You’d think there’d be some nastiness going on between the two. After all, Nicole Kidman used to be married to Katie Holmes’ husband Tom Cruise. They even have children together.

Not so…in fact, Katie says she’s happy for Nicole. She said, “I’m so happy for her. It’s wonderful!”

No reason for Katie to hold a grudge. She has a beautiful little girl with Tom Cruise. Now Nicole will have her own reason to smile with new husband Keith Urban.
