So says Life&Style Weekly:

Life & Style has learned exclusively that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have agreed to call off their wedding — and, ultimately, to split. Multiple insiders confirmed the story to Life & Style, with one longtime friend of Tom’s saying: “Their relationship is basically over.” Another friend adds: “They both agreed that the marriage wouldn’t work and they wanted to end it before they learned to hate each other.”

Amazing. Now THAT’S something to make Valentine’s Day worth it. Has somebody alerted FreeKatie.com? UPDATE: That sound you hear is collective sighs of relief from hundreds of celebrity gossip columnists who were seeing their cash-cow biting the dust. Turns out, they aren’t splitting up at all! Whoo! Disaster averted! I saw this at BWE and wondered just how many seconds would pass between the blogohedreweb getting ahold of the story and it would get DEEEEEEENIIIIIIIIED!!! Turns out, about two hours:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE STATEMENT REGARDING TOM CRUISE AND KATIE HOLMES AND LIFE & STYLE MAGAZINE Los Angeles, CA (February 14, 2006) - In reference to a forthcoming cover story in the tabloid magazine Life & Style about Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, it should be known that the story is 100% false. Mr. Cruise and Ms. Holmes are still engaged and are moving forward with their wedding plans, as well as planning for the arrival of their child. Despite the malicious fallacies put forth by Life & Style magazine, the couple is looking forward to a long and happy life together as a family.

See? TomKat, on again, totally in love, Tom’s not gay, and they are in a real religion. Their publicists said so.
