Actress KATIE HOLMES was left close to tears following an emotional trip to the jail where NELSON MANDELA was imprisoned for 18 years. She was given a guided tour earlier this month (Nov13) by Mandela's former fellow inmate Ahmed Kathrada, and he reveals Holmes was choked with emotion when she witnessed the harsh conditions endured by convicts. He tells Hello! magazine, "Katie was very touched by the whole experience. We visited Mandela's cell, where I told her that we all slept on the ground for 14 years, that there were no flush toilets, only buckets, that the lights were kept on all night... She didn't cry, but she did react. You could see she was very emotional." Holmes later penned a heartfelt message to Kathrada in the prison's visitors' book, writing, "My sincerest gratitude for your work, your struggle, your triumph, your dedication, and your inspiration."

Tom Cruise has revealed some stunning secrets about his private life as part of a £31 million court battle. The actor has launched legal action against two US mags after he was accused of abandoning daughter Suri, seven, and not seeing her for four months following his split from Katie Holmes, 34, in June 2012. “Tom wants Katie and their old life together back,” a source told The ENQUIRER. “He’s done a lot of thinking lately and came to the conclusion that he’s still as close to Katie as anyone else in his life.” Another insider told The ENQUIRER: “Tom is in constant contact with Katie about Suri via phone and email, and he’s realized that he wants Katie back. “There’s no other woman in his life, and he wants the three of them to be a family again, especially with the holidays around the corner.” The pain of the split showed in recently published legal documents, in which Tom admitted that after the divorce he didn’t see Suri for 110 days, although he stayed in touch by phone and email. “When I was working overseas and not able to see Suri in person, we were (and continue to be) extremely close,” the superstar testified during a deposition in his defamation lawsuit against a media organization. The 7-year-old budding fashionista hit the streets of New York City Wednesday rocking a tan fur coat and flower-topped mittens as she made her way in the building with her nanny and bodyguard. “We spoke on the phone nearly every day….as my numerous emails with Suri’s mother during this time demonstrated I was a constant presence in Suri’s life during that time…” The deposition Tom gave “was obviously a tremendous ordeal for him,” said the source. “His friends were all wondering why he put himself through it but now feel that he was baring his soul to show Katie he’s a good family man and regrets the bad things that have happened. 1 The actor flies exclusively by private jet. Tom told the court he's flown commercially just once during the past three years, from Dubai to LA. 2 Tom only saw Suri for about 10 days between June and November 2012. This was due to a ‘very brutal' shooting schedule in London for the upcoming flick Edge Of Tomorrow. 3 Rather than Skype or FaceTime when he's away, Tom talks to Suri over the phone. He says he's ‘really good at telling stories'. 4 Tom's 'fessed that some of his movies aren't very good! When the attorney interviewing him admitted he was pretty surprised that people would ‘throw away one of your films,' Tom joked: ‘They should throw away a few of them.' 5 Katie filed for divorce to protect Suri from Scientology. Tom says: ‘That was one of her assertions, yes.'

Tom Cruise settles tabloid lawsuit and Teresa Palmer has reportdely married in secret. Actor Tom Cruise has settled a libel case with a German publisher which claimed he "abandoned" his daughter Suri after divorcing Katie Holmes. Cruise and Bauer, which publishes two US celebrity lifestyle magazines, mutually agreed to drop the action. They agreed to pay their own costs and legal fees, according to papers filed in Los Angeles District Court. Neither Bauer Publishing nor the magazines "intended to communicate that Tom Cruise had cut off all ties and abandoned his daughter, Suri, and regret if anyone drew that inference from anything they published," she added. A court document noted that the suit was dismissed Friday "with prejudice," meaning that it cannot be refiled. The one-paragraph settlement says the dismissal was agreed to by Cruise and the tabloid publisher and that each side was responsible for their own legal fees. The July 18, 2012, Life & Style cover carried the headline "SURI IN TEARS, ABANDONED BY HER DAD" along with a photo of the child. There was no accompanying text to explain the headline. The complaint also pointed to an InTouch cover story from September 2012 headlined "44 DAYS WITHOUT TOM ... ABANDONED BY DADDY ... Suri is left heartbroken as Tom suddenly shuts her out and even misses her first day of school... HAS HE CHOSEN SCIENTOLOGY OVER SURI FOR GOOD?"

It looks like those Soul Cycle classes have been keeping Katie Holmes in check. The actress rocked yet another two-piece while relaxing poolside in Miami with daughter Suri Cruise on Wednesday, Jan. 1. Katie Holmes went to Miami over the holidays — because the below-freezing temperatures in New York City were no fun at all — and whiled away the time between glamorous South Beach parties lazing poolside at her hotel. (Suri did some gymnastics in a Hello Kitty swimsuit and it was adorable.) At one point, she shared a particularly raunchy/funny/weird photo from her iPhone with Suri's nanny. It's no doubt a good time for Holmes to relax, as she has three movies scheduled for release in 2014: Days and Nights (costarring Allison Janney and Ben Whishaw), Mania Days (costarring Luke Kirby) and The Giver (costarring Meryl Streep, Jeff Bridges, Taylor Swift and Alexander Skarsgård). Holmes' ex-husband Tom Cruise, meanwhile, shared his wishes for the New Year via his team on Twitter: "However you may say it, here's wishing you an AWESOMELY rewarding 2014 filled with peace, love, friendship, big dreams and accomplishments!"
