Hollywood’s hot new couple, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, had never met until Cruise called her out of the blue and asked her for a date last month, Us Weekly reports.
Holmes secretly flew to Los Angeles in early April after Cruise summoned her to a private meeting at his office. Four hours of banter later, Cruise fessed up and asked the young actress on a sushi date, Us reports in its May 16 cover story (on newsstands Friday).
Cruise apparently was not impressed with Holmes’ messy, dented BMW because he arranged for workers to clean up her clunker. (Related story: A very romantic Cruise)
The next evening, the sushi date occurred not at a restaurant but aboard Cruise’s private jet, 15,000 feet above Southern California, Us reports. That was followed by a ride on his motorcycle, a romantic beach trip and more secret dates.
Tom and Katie — dubbed TomKat by celebrity blogs — stepped out publicly on April 27, when they arrived together in Rome for the David di Donatello Awards.
Holmes’ publicist Leslie Sloane Zelnick on Tuesday said she did not know how the couple met and could not confirm the Us details. Cruise’s publicist and sister, Lee Anne Devette, did not immediately return a call for comment.

Premiership footballer David Dunn and his fiance Emmerdale actress Sammy Winward have split up just months after the pair celebrated the birth of their first child, it emerged today.

The foreign correspondent and fiction writer Philip Caputo's new novel about aid workers in Africa, "Acts of Faith," lands in bookstores with all the high-minded weightiness of an airdrop. The book's settings are almost untouched in recent English-language fiction: the war-torn, famine-racked Sudan of the 1990s and the semipermanent encampments of relief workers clustered in neighboring countries. And Caputo's theme is an important one: how do-gooders intoxicated by their own mercy can wind up doing anything but. So why does "Acts of Faith" still leave a taste like 900 pounds of U.N.- delivered millet -- well-intentioned, good for you and
