5. Sam Alexis Woods (daughter of golf ace Tiger Woods)

6. Cruz Beckham

Katie Holmes has been busy celebrating her second year of marriage with husband Tom Cruise. She was seen quickly jetting home to Los Angeles after a recent performance in New York so that she could be with her husband and daughter who spreads her newly found happiness.

Holmes took off to the west coast after Sunday’s (16Nov08) matinee performance of her hit Broadway play - ‘All My Sons’.

Tom and Katie reportedly spent a quiet evening at their L.A. home on Monday (17Nov08) before the actress had to rush back for her regular Tuesday show.

Cruise and Holmes married on 18 November 2006 in a star-studded ceremony in Italy to the dismay of critics, skeptical their relationship was a mere publicity stunt. Critics had even presumed that their relationship would not go further and surely they would not ever be together making a family. But they had proven all of them wrong by staying together and even raising their Suri and only time will witness the couple’s growth as proud parents.

In an interview last year (07), Cruise talked about the lavish wedding, “As big as it was from the outside, it was a very personal experience and something obviously I’ll never forget.”

The pair was reportedly joined by their two-year-old daughter, Suri, and Cruise’s adopted children from his marriage to Nicole Kidman - Isabella, 15, and Connor, 13 to mark the event.

Until we receive any other speculations the valid Forbes list will definitely create a furore with Suri creating ripples all over.

Tom Cruise

And you thought he would follow her to Broadway too ? Not really says a source close to Tom Cruise. Just because his wife is working on Broadway does not mean that he has to do the same. One of the most powerful and bankable celebrities in the circuit it apparently seems that Tom is too busy on other ventures to even think of being on stage to perform.

Katie Holmes is set to make her Broadway debut in a revival of Arthur Miller’s “All My Sons”. However there is not much good news for the actor since her presence does not seem to have generated much interest among the audiences as per expectations. Her debut on stage is also being compared to that of her husband’s ex-wife Nicole Kidman who had done exceptionally well with her first appearance in The Blue Room. However advance sales for All My Sons have been disappointing and its still to be seen if it generates the response that it is supposed to in the weeks to come.

Katie Holmes

Well known American playwright Arthur Miller’s play All My Sons has Katie Holmes making her first appearance on Broadway. The mother of Tom Cruise’s daughter is said to have made a brilliant career move. Following the path set by most stars who make the transition effortlessly from the screen to the stage Katie is in for quite a rollercoaster ride while making her first foray on stage. She seems to be moving to more challenging work after making a splash with the well received Dawson’s Creek some years ago.

After a slew of forgettable roles her only claim to fame was the highly publicized courtship and marriage to Tom Cruise. With not much brilliant work under her belt Katie has to deliver along with actors like John Lithgow, Patrick Wilson and Dianne Wiest. Her last effort was the box office dud Mad Money. The playwright of such ground-breaking plays such as Death of a Salesman, All My Sons was first performed in the year 1947 and had won both the author as well as the director Tony awards. Miller bases his play on the true story of a businessman who knowingly sells the government defective plane parts in the Second World War. This incident ruins his life as the truth finally comes out into the open when his business partner’s daughter (to be played by Katie Holmes) marries his son. The play was adapted to a feature film in the year 1948 and was again performed in Broadway in 1987. Hope the reprisal this time is as interesting as the star cast.
