Morning Piss: TomKat's Royalty Status in Jeopardy?

What the hell's going on with TomKat lately? The patina on their hot 'n' sexy power-couple existence seems to be dulling, dare I say? It's almost as if Katie Holmes has thrown it in a bit, La Lohan-style, on her film career, and is just trying to salvage any sort of gig she can still book.

Think Nicole Kidman woulda gone anywhere near a reality-TV dance show while she was Mrs. Cruise? Please! She wouldn't have been caught dead from Botox overdose in a non-high-profile project back then—even if it was for charity. In fact, we're shocked Tom didn't pooh-pooh that one right off the bat. Seriously, every smart decision Tom and Katie make nowadays is canceled out by something dubious. At this point, Suri's the only Cruise who hasn't made a puzzling move yet! What gives?

Both parts TomKat keep seesawing between primo and not-so-fab career choices. Katie picked a winner with Batman Begins but followed it up with...Mad Money? And guesting on an episode of Eli Stone (again with the singing and the dancing) is one thing, but inexplicably showing up on a reality-show competition is just embarrassing—especially since it was right on the heels of having proved how excellent an actress she can really be with Broadway's All My Sons.

And for every Collateral or Tropic Thunder that Tommy makes, there's a rather unfortunate Lions for Lambs or Valkyrie. As a result, we can't quite worship TomKat-style like we might prefer to. Tommy 'n' Katie, can you all help us out here, please? Maybe remake Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf? It put tabloid babes Liz and Dick back on the A-list, Oscar-winning map, remember.
