The world has finally seen photos of Suri Cruise – on Tuesday's CBS Evening News and in the issue of Vanity Fair that hit newsstands Wednesday – and Katie Holmes says the speculation that has surrounded her child has been "heartbreaking."

Holmes, 27, tells Vanity Fair that the gossip about her and fiancé Tom Cruise's daughter – born April 17 but unseen until now – "eats away at me because it's just not okay. ... Some of the crap that's out there – the stuff that's said about my parents and my siblings (implying that they didn't approve of her relationship with Cruise, 44) – it's really frustrating the amount of s– that's out there. And the stuff they say about Suri? You shouldn't say that about us, and you can't say that about my child."

Still, she says, she keeps up on the rumors because "this is my future. This is my family, and I care so much about them. To see how someone as caring and good as Tom is – to see how things can just get so twisted and turned around. I mean, where does it come from?"

Holmes also says she "was overjoyed in being pregnant, and then had to withstand ridicule about my pregnancy when it was the most normal, non-controversial thing imaginable."

The photos of Cruise, Holmes and Suri were taken by Annie Leibovitz on July 27 at Cruise's Telluride, Colo., spread. According to the magazine, Cruise's kids Isabella and Connor (with ex-wife Nicole Kidman) and Holmes's mother, father and other family members were there too.

So why did the new parents keep Suri out of sight for so long? "We were just living our lives, being a family," Cruise says.

And the baby? "She has Kate's lips and eyes. I think she looks like Kate," says Tom, while Holmes says, "I think she has Tom's eyes. I think she looks like Tom."

The couple also explained Cruise's purchase of an at-home sonogram machine while Holmes was pregnant. The couple was mobbed by paparazzi when they went out, says Holmes, so the doctor had to come to their home. "The sonogram was for his use!"

But their new daughter made it all worthwhile.

"She's a glorious girl. She's the miracle of our life," Holmes says.

The tension between the couple has been as thick as a morning fog since Brad started shooting Ocean's Thirteen.

And the turmoil reached the crisis level recently. They had a huge blowup and things haven't been the same since," says an insider.

The growing rift between the couple was glaringly apparent when they attented a recent gallery party for Scott Caan, who was exhibiting photos he'd taken in Africa.

"It was obvious Brad and Angelina had a huge fight in the car before they even got to the Caan party," said a Hollywood insider.

"As they first pulled up, they sat in the car like strangers, each facing the other way. Their expressions were angry and tense.

"They split up in the parking lot and made separate entrances. And once they were inside, there was a force field of hostility between them."

According to an eyewitness, Angelina spent much of the party off in a corner talking on her cell phone, while Brad hung out with Scott and George Clooney."

Sources close to the couple say that the situation has hit a crisis point - and that Brad is considering his options.

"In a way, Brad's an empty suit. He's with Angelina and the kids, but his heart and mind is not really in it."

Adding to that stress, there is so much friction between Angelina and Brad's family, that according to a source, they can't even stand to be under the same roof.

No wonder Angelina has decided to throw herself back into work. "Angelina's recently amped up her career plans and is considering a whole new slew of projects to distance herself from Brad," says a source close to the couple.

Meanwhile, Brad has several new film projects lined up and is also planning a solo trip to continue his charity work.

Kerry Katona has launched a savage attack on estranged husband Brian McFadden after claims that she cheated on him while they were married.

The former Westlifer lashed out saying that Kerry was having an affair with old flame Dan Corsi during the two-and-a-half year marriage,

But yesterday pregnant Kerry, 25, hit back, spitting: "Maybe if he concentrated on his failing career and had a bit of success, he wouldn't need to keep attacking me to get publicity.

"The cheating is absolute nonsense. He knows it's not true and I know it's not true.

"There's only one person that cheated during our relationship. I mean, look at his stag do [when Brian was said to have bedded a lapdancer].

"It's very sad that he continues to feel the need to attack me but I'm not going to attack him."

Brian, who's now dating Delta Goodrem, had claimed: "I'd heard the rumours about her and Corsi for a long time but she always told me that nothing had been going on. "But, yes, it was true.

I'm still devastated. I can't believe what she did. It makes our whole marriage a sham."

I'm A Celebrity... winner Kerry - who's expecting her third child, with fiance Mark Croft, 34 - is battling alcohol and smoking addictions for the sake of her unborn baby.

However, she did enjoy a few Bucks Fizz cocktails during celebrations for her 26th birthday party, held a week early in Manchester's Belle Vue racetrack on Saturday.

Yesterday her spokesman Max Clifford confirmed: "Kerry had two Bucks Fizz on the night and she had a great time. But she has cut back on her drink."

The troubled ex-Atomic Kitten star is expected to reveal her drug and drink binges in her autobiography Too Much Too Young.

She claims: "Drugs and booze provided a mask to hide behind. I could pretend to be the old, happy-go-lucky Kerry who everybody loved.

For a few hours, I did feel better. But the pressure had become so bad I lost the plot."

Kerry is now worried about the effects Brian's latest remarks will have on their two daughters Molly, four and three-year-old Lilly Sue.

She went on: "I hope Brain gets success soon, so he can stop attacking me. All I've ever wanted was for him and Delta to be happy and for me to be happy with Mark.

"And for the sake of the kids I wish that he wanted that as well." Let's hope so...

Given the subject matter of "Until Yesterday," you'd wonder if JC Chasez took a turn toward country music.

"Well, it's not your average love story, by any means," the 'NSYNC singer said of the first single from his yet-untitled sophomore LP, due in early 2007. He performed the track with one of his best friends, Justin Timberlake, at New York's Roseland Theatre after last week's 2006 MTV Video Music Awards (see "Underdog Night At The VMAs: Panic, Gnarls, Blunt, Chamillionaire Win Big"). "It's actually about your girlfriend getting knocked up with another man's baby. How would you deal with that?"

Not well. But Chasez's music, while perhaps embracing the "cry in your beer" country ethos, won't sound anything like Travis Tritt. Chasez calls the album — which he spent more than a year and a half working on and just finished recording last month — a collection of "intelligent pop" (see "Justin Wows At Post-VMA Club Show; JC Chasez, Three 6 Mafia, Will.I.Am Join In").

"It's a great pop record — one that makes you think," he said of the follow-up to 2004's Schizophrenic. "It's not generic, and it's just a great sounding record too."

Chasez and Timberlake co-wrote and co-produced "Until Yesterday," along with two other cuts that are slated for the final track list: "God Bless America" and "Better With You." The singer also worked with rapper/producer Timbaland on a tune called "Fire"; producer Dallas Austin (Kelis, Gwen Stefani) on "F--- With My Mind"; and Billy Steinberg (who worked with Madonna in writing "Like a Virgin") on "I'm Not Sleeping Alone."

And, of course, Chasez had nothing but glowing reviews for his buddy Justin's upcoming LP, FutureSex/LoveSounds, due Tuesday (see "Justin's Album Shows Off Two Sides: Over-The-Top Saucy, Unassumingly Sweet").

"He has a phenomenal record coming out," Chasez said. "Obviously, he's one of my best friends. But 'SexyBack' is a brand-new sound for him, and it's opened up a lot of minds. The safe route would have been to make another record like the last one, because it was so successful. But I like the fact that he said, 'No. I'm going to be artistic. I am going to change my sound,' because that's what he was inspired to do."

When MTV News talked to Timberlake last month, he said he was excited to be working with his longtime friend.

"He and I have written three or four songs now that I kind of put a producer hat on for, which was an honor, because in my opinion, he had the best voice out of all of us," Timberlake said of his former bandmate (see "Justin Opens Up About Britney, Lance, JC And The Media"). "Out of all the boy bands, call 'em what you will, he was the one that could out-sing all of us. And I've known him since I was 10, so it was fun to sit behind the board and push him."

Chasez said he plans to tour in support of his next album, but at this stage in the game, he's more concerned with finishing the record's final mix — a task that should take up at least much of this week. And who knows? Perhaps when Chasez does hit the road, he could join forces with his new pals OK Go.

"They're actually really cool," the singer said after meeting the band the afternoon before they'd take the stage to re-enact the treadmill tomfoolery of their video "Here It Goes Again" (see "YouTube Faves OK Go: The Band Least Likely To Become Famous For Their Dancing"). The bandmembers consulted with Chasez about potential dance moves they wanted to borrow and throw into the mix. "I am going to go check them out now, and if the music is any good, I will certainly become a fan."

Kevin Federline will appear on "The Ellen Degeneres Show" today to talk about living in the shadow of Britney Spears and the constant press scrutiny put on their lives.

"I would be lying if I didn't say it was tough," says Federline about being Mr. Spears, "I think the expectation is real high for me you know, it's like you see my wife here she is this huge superstar everybody loves her, all of her music is just hits after hits and it's hard to compete."

Even though K-Fed hopes his new single "Lose Control" will be the next "Toxic," the musician claims no rivalry exists at home. "I don't see it as a competition you know? Maybe other people are putting it in that perspective, but to me it's not a competition ... I just have fun. I love rapping and making music period."

Ellen's full interview with Kevin Federline airs today on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show."

Emilio Estevez has confirmed his engagement to long-term girlfriend, writer Sonja Magdevski.

The actor-director is currently promoting his new film Bobby at the Venice Film Festival, and revealed on the red carpet that the pair got engaged last Christmas after dating for 18 months.

Rod Stewart has taken the time to sympathise with Paul McCartney during his appearance at the GQ Awards.

The rocker made his feelings known about the difficult time McCartney is currently going through during the break-up of his marriage when he accepted the Outstanding Achievement Award.

He admitted that his own divorce from model Rachel Hunter had crushed him and was difficult to come to terms with.

Jessica Simpson has denied the rumours that she is dating singer John Mayer.

The actress claims the pair are good friends and they have known each other for a while.

During an interview on US chat show The View, host Rosie O'Donnell leaned in on her to give a hint about her love life.

"You don't want to say, but maybe?" she teased, about her relationship with Mayer.

Simpson shook her head and replied: "I love it that she just goes right there….I'm actually not dating John Mayer."

Japan's Princess Kiko has given birth to a son, likely postponing a long-running debate over whether Japanese law should be changed to allow women to succeed to the throne, the imperial palace announced Wednesday.

The boy is third in line to the throne, after Crown Prince Naruhito and Kiko's husband, Prince Akishino.

The Imperial Household Agency gave few details about the birth, which came by Caesarean section following pregnancy complications, and did not release the boy's name.
