Originally posted 05/02/2008 01:20PM


Tom Cruise and Oprah Winfrey are sitting down to talk – but this time it's on his couch.

In the first part of a two-part interview, Winfrey visits Cruise in his Telluride, Colo. home – and talk inevitably turns to the actor's now-infamous couch jumping incident from 2005.

"[It] was a moment, and it was real," Cruise says about his animated profession of love for Katie Holmes, in the interview to air on Friday. "I just felt that way, and I feel that way about her," he continues. "I can't even articulate it, to be honest. That feeling, that connection. Just who she is and what she means to me."

"Is that true?" the talk show host asks. Answers Cattrall: "I was in a grocery store over the weekend and someone slipped me an apron and said, 'Just in case it might be true, here, protect yourself, girlfriend.'"

Cher Reveals Tom Cruise Crush

Originally posted 04/29/2008 06:55PM

In what sounds like a real-life, all-star version of The Graduate, Cher is now admitting to having acted upon a long-ago crush on the much younger Tom Cruise.

Their happy time together took place just as Cruise, now 45, was kicking off his career 25 years ago, the 61-year-old diva tells Oprah Winfrey for an upcoming show taped in Las Vegas.

"I was so crazy about him," says Cher, who was 39 when she reportedly met the 23-year-old Cruise at a White House fund-raiser in the mid-'80s, not long after his breakthrough role in 1983's Risky Business.

In preparation, Blaine has been training in the Cayman Islands – and he's recorded two video blogs in which he describes his preparation. In one clip, the magician shows details of his training regimen, including the nights he's slept in a special hypoxic tent, which is filled with lower than normal levels of oxygen.

Says Blaine: "I've been sleeping here for a month – and I was just in Cayman where I've been training on holding my breath. And I've been getting pretty good, so my times have been getting much better."

In another clip he details his training free diving in the ocean where he holds his breath – and encounters sea life.
