Katie Holmes Has Solo Birthday, Is Skipping Golden Globes With Tom Cruise

Katie Holmes is so dedicated to "All My Sons" on Broadway, she spent the night of her 30th birthday Thursday without husband Tom Cruise and is skipping January's Golden Globes, at which Tom is nominated for Best Supporting Actor.

While her husband was at the Los Angeles premiere of "Valkyrie," Katie and Suri were serenaded by her fellow cast and the audience with "Happy Birthday" and given a huge cake - from Tom - at Thursday's curtain call, reports People:

Addressing the audience, Holmes's costar John Lithgow announced, "Tom Cruise, our good friend, devoted fan to the show, doting husband of Katie, could not be here tonight. He's heartsick that he couldn't be here ... but he wanted to make his presence felt. So, he's joining us, inviting all of you, to celebrate Katie's birthday."

And with that, crewmembers wheeled out a five-tiered, white-frosted, circular birthday cake as the crowd cheered and applauded...

A genuinely surprised Holmes, who had been celebrating her birthday all week long, brought her 2-year-old daughter Suri on to the stage as the cast - including Dianne Wiest and Patrick Wilson - encouraged the entire audience to sing "Happy Birthday." Together, the mother-daughter duo blew out the candles.

Meanwhile, the final performance of "All My Sons" is scheduled for the same night as the Golden Globes, that of January 11th. Fox News found out what her choice would be, Broadway or her husband's awards show:

Ina Treciokas, Katie's press rep, answers the question definitively. "Katie's decided to stay and her do last show," Ina tells me. "She won't be going with Tom to the Globes. The cast of 'All My Sons' has been like a family and they want to end it together."...

Holmes has been a stalwart. She hasn't missed a performance, as far as I know. She's remained devoted to the play even though she's got the smallest of the four leads.

Earlier in the week Katie also missed the New York premiere of "Valkyrie" as she was on stage, but she did go to the premiere's after party once her Broadway work was done.

Why does she have a white hand towel on her head?

[miamia]

lol

[ColoradoDan]

Katie dropped her former religion and embraced $cientology like a hot potato to be with Cruise.

And she openly admitted it. Hard to take her very seriously. At least Nicole spoke up.

Suri always has that kinda strange and sad look in every photo.

[janinius]

Big deal, she has a job, he has a job. sometimes jobs conflict. a commitment is a commitment.

[shirleyfeeney]

well, tom dissed his son's premiere as well...

we can only hope that Katie has FINALLY seen the light of reality...

[klambake7]

suri is cute,but there is something very "omenesque" or boys from brazil about her..

[Briana10]

That's bacause she was conceived from L Ron Hubbard's sperm.

[Rachael78]

she has the perpetual frown found on most spoiled kids

[Okieborn]

Katie you have so much going for you !
America loves you !!!
DUMP THE JERK !!!!!

[Mac18]

This is seriously the most over exposed family in the country.

[The 13 Colonies]

Not to mention the fact that in these days of unemployment and the housing market. We get to read about how expensive Suri's clothes are.Do these people ever think about people less fortunate than they are.......­..........­..........­.........N­OT!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

[hmmmmmer]

Is there something about this couple that is news worthy other than the fact they can procreate and then use that procreation for publicity purposes?

[gracewithease]

Has anyone ever seen that child smile?

[tangelan]

Would you smile if you had a camera in your face all the time?

[wcgmilf]

Tom and Katie are being very mature and understanding of each other's lives. When you get married, you don't get sewn together at the hip. Great for them both. Happy Birthday, Katie and Congratulations, Tom.

Strange how with his company putting out the movie, him producing the movie and starring, he can't get the premiere to be on a different night. Premieres usually have the ability to be planned.

And why do the soldiers in Valkryie have no German accents? Is Tom's character an American who worked in SS? I don't get it.

[erinker]

Because the real people portrayed in the movies would not have had German accents, they would have spoken German! I personally HATE it when characters that would, in reality, be speaking another language are instead given a lame accent. Either subtitle it, or lose the accent.

[shirleyfeeney]

seriously.­..kevin costner as robin hood, anyone? sometimes he had the accent, sometimes he didn't....­and how about all the Rome movies where everyone sounds like they should be doing Shakespeare? ha!

[TallyLass]

I agree.

[blimie]

Katie looks kind of pale and sad since she's been married to Tom Cruise. She used to have a real wholesome prettiness before.

[tangelan]

She doesn't look sad to me. Famous husband and a cute kid and rich as all get out. I'd switch places with her.

[ChekUrFax]

And you get to be in a really groovy cult....wh­at could be more fun???

[MadamRoma]

It's possibly because when Tom was jumping up and down on Oprah's couch proclaiming his love for her, she did not realize that's all he would do is jump up and down on her couch.

[hortonhearsawho2]

Katie is Amish?

[sunny555]

Suri is adorable!!!!

[Mattie]

she real is a cute kid, I'm not one to gush about children, but she is one of the cutest kids I've seen.

[Pulemerci]

To think that so many people bought into (literally) a religion started by a hack science fiction writer who only wanted to avoid paying taxes.
