While last Sunday was a rare moment for Katie Holmes, who managed a mammoth personal victory when she finished the NYC Marathon, to shine without having to share the spotlight with hubby Tom Cruise, the day before was all about that other special woman in Tom’s life: little baby Suri.
That afternoon the littlest Cruise was the guest of honor at a tea party at Bemelmans Bar in Manhattan’s swanky Carlyle hotel, where the family called home during their extended Big Apple stopover. The theme of this tea party? Madeline, the classic children’s book character, which makes all the more sense as Bemelmans Bar is named after Ludwig Bemelmans, creator of the beloved series of books.
“Katie held Suri and fed her chocolate cake and ice cream,” a source tells OK!. “Suri wore an adorable white dress, with a black turtleneck, black tights and silver shoes. She danced a little, and Katie let her roam around the room.”
Tom let Katie and Suri have their mother-daughter time and talked to other gentlemen at the tea party. But before the upscale affair ended, he came over to sing along with all the little girls. “They were doing an ‘ABCs 123s’ song — it was really cute,” says the source.

Only hours after walking the red carpet at the L.A. premiere of Lions for Lambs, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes hopped an east-bound private plane headed for Manhattan, where sources confirm to OK! that Katie is planning on taking part in Sunday’s New York City Marathon.
As OK! exclusively reported several weeks ago, after months of secretly training in predawn runs in Beverly Hills and Berlin, Suri’s mom is scheduled to make her first-ever marathon run this weekend. The 28-year-old actress, who celebrates her first wedding anniversary to Tom on Nov. 18, will join thousands of other masochists runners, including cyclist Lance Armstrong, in the race that begins at the foot of the Verrazano Narrows Bridge in Staten Island and works its way through Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx and then back to Manhattan, where everyone collapses in exhaustion in Central Park.
Assuming Katie makes it all the way, she’ll have quite a welcoming committee at the finish line, as several members of the Holmes family are flying in from Ohio to cheer her on. They’ll join her superstar hubby at the Finish Live Banquet at Tavern on the Green where they can watch the race on monitors, get updates on racers — “Go Katie!” — and be just feet away from the racers as they clock in.
Oh, and just in case you believe the newest batch of pregnancy rumors surrounding TomKat, OK! spoke to Katie’s rep who says in no uncertain terms that the actress is “not pregnant.”
