SMOKING NOT

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise
A steamy love scene between
Katie Holmes and
Aaron Eckhart was mysteriously excised from the version of
Thank You for Smoking that was screened at the Sundance Film Festival, fueling buzz that
Tom Cruise may have wielded his considerable clout to snuff the footage of his prepregnancy fiancée. According to the
New York Post, a studio rep says, "We don't know what happened, but we're looking into it," then insists the film "will absolutely be released with that scene" — or, just maybe, replaced with the volleyball scene from
Top Gun.
