Tom Cruise Wants 10 Kids With Katie

If Tom Cruise has his way, Suri could have a lot of little brothers and sisters.
"I want 10 children. I love kids," the Valkyrie star says in an interview.

Cruise, 46, is also dad to Connor, 13, and Isabella, 16, his adopted children with ex Nicole Kidman.

"I feel really fortunate to have the teenagers and a two and a half-year-old. It's a great dynamic," he says.

So how does Holmes -- who just celebrated her 30th birthday -- feel about giving birth to a brood that could rival Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's?

"If I'm worried about anything, it's if she [Katie] can keep up with me," Cruise jokes. "I'm very active...jumping on couches and whatnot."

Cruise adds that he's "a great parent. "I want to be with my kids, and they get to do all the stuff that I wanted to do when I was growing up," he says. "My own father wasn’t there much for me and I want to be a different dad to my kids. My family is the most important thing in my life."
(And despite his split from Kidman, he says: "Nic and I are very committed and successful in sharing the parenting.")

In addition to raising Suri, whom he calls "so charming, so beautiful...just great," Cruise says he's teaching Connor how to motorbike.

"I go to the children’s groups like other daddies," Cruise says. "At first people look at me like, 'My God, it's him!' and they treat me a little differently. "But then they realize I'm just a father with my kids," Cruise adds. "It's up to me to make everybody else feel okay about the fact that I'm there, and then everything just goes on."

But when not spending time with his children, Cruise turns his focus to his wife of two years, whom he calls "a very strong, gracious woman and a great comedian."
"I like doing romantic things, such as bringing flowers and surprising her with things," Cruise says. "I love candlelit evenings with nice music."

"Married life is very good, very lovely," he adds. "I feel lucky to have Kate as my wife. She's an extraordinary woman. She is funny and smart and she likes the same things that I do."

Jonas Brothers Could Cause Mob Scene In Times Square

The New York Police Department – which has heroically handled terrorist attacks, blackouts and riots without a whimper – is being cautious over the "mob scene" that could result when the Jonas Brothers perform in Times Square at Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest on Wednesday night.

According to a source, police officials fessed up to their concerns in a recent meeting with producers of the show. "So they're now planning on using extra [security] men for support," the source says.

"It's going to be crazy because everyone will be in Times Square to watch them perform on the show." If the extra cops can't quell Jonas-mania, maybe Mother Nature can. The forecast for New Year's Eve is currently a bone-chilling 17 degrees, with a chance of rain or snow.

Twilight Makes Four Times Its Budget!! This Year's Best Rate Of Return

If only Wall Street had bet on Twilight. Or Hannah Montana. Or Kirk Cameron.

With a $167.3 million overall domestic take as Sunday, per Box Office Mojo, Twilight made more than four times its reported $37 million production budget—the best rate of return on any film in the 2008 Top 10, including The Dark Knight.

The Batman epic was a pretty good investment, too, very nearly tripling its gargantuan $185 million budget with a $530.8 million domestic take, Hollywood's second-biggest ever.

Still, The Dark Knight was nothing compared to these off-the-charts performers: High School Musical 3: Senior Year ($89.7 million), which grossed about eight times its $11 million budget; the Hannah Montana concert movie, which made about nine times its $7 million budget; and Cameron's Fireproof, which cost $500,000 to produce, and made $33.1 million—or, more than 60 times its budget.

Sarah Palin Is A Grandma

Bristol Palin, the daughter of Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin, and her fiance, Levi Johnston, have given birth to a boy, named Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston. Bristol delivered Tripp on Sunday.

"I'm going to take him hunting and fishing," Johnston said of his son back in October. "He'll be everywhere with me."

Bristol, 18, and Johnston, 18, are engaged and plan to wed this summer.

Johnston -- a hockey player from Wasilla, Alaska, who dropped out of high school to take a job as an apprentice electrician -- was by Bristol's side throughout the campaign and even displayed a "Bristol" tattoo on his ring finger at the GOP convention. He told the Associated Press that there had been no pressure put on him to marry Bristol and that the two teens had made plans to wed before it was known she was pregnant.

"We both love each other," Johnston said. "We both want to marry each other. And that's what we are going to do. We were planning on getting married a long time ago with or without the kid."

Johnston has been optimistic about parenthood throughout the pregnancy.
"We're up for it," he said. "I'm excited to have my first kid. It's going to be a lot of hard work, but we can handle it."

As for Palin, in addition to being the first woman nominated by the Republican Party to run on a national ticket, she is now also a first-time grandmother. The new baby also comes eight months after Palin, 44, gave birth to her and husband Todd's fifth child, Trig.
