Tom Cruise Had Better Move To The Dakota Soon, Because We're Getting A Little Sick Of This Story
Further word from our "insider," who may be offended by the challenges to his or her veracity, or may just be fucking with us to an extent at which the effort surely exceeds the payoff:Throughout the negotiation process, Cruise has been flying under radar by using his real name, Thomas Mapother IV.Oh yeah! We always forget his crazy real last name. So consider this just a little love for you real estate reporters who are being yelled at by your editors for not getting the goods on this bit of insanity when it comes time to check deeds, or whatever the hell one does at a professional outfit.

Tom Cruise Is STILL Moving To The Dakota, Source Insists
At this point, our "inside" source on the "Tom Cruise to the Dakota" story is more interesting to us than the actual Tom Cruise, mainly because he or she has an answer for everything. Today's (always accurate!) Page Six reports that:THE Internet has buzzed with rumors that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes will soon become neighbors of Yoko Ono and Lauren Bacall at the famed Dakota co-op on Central Park West. Gawker has posted several items from "inside" tipsters that the Hollywood couple has a contract to buy a 10-room apartment, once owned by Leonard Bernstein, with a $25.5 million asking price. But Prudential Douglas Elliman superbroker Dolly Lenz tells The Post's Braden Keil the story is only half-true. The apartment "is in contract," she said, adding that the undisclosed price would be a record for the building. "But it certainly isn't the Cruises or any other celebrities who bought it."Does our mystery friend refute that? You bet your ass! More »

TomKat Move: Another Country Heard From
We are hearing loud murmurs from the Tom Cruise camp that Tom and Katie loved Miami so much they really, really want a house down here. The couple is allegedly planning another trip to South Beach, where best friends Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony have offered to show them around.Could it be? Would TomKat really choose Miami over our fair city? We think not! Look at that map above: It's just a short skip through the park to get from the Dakota to the Church of Scientology Celebrity Centre on East 82nd. Suck it, Sunshine State! More »

Today In "Tom Cruise Is Moving To The Dakota 'News'"
Our source on the "inside" at the Dakota (who could, let's bear in mind, be pulling all this stuff from the "inside" of his or her anal region) brings us the latest update to the TomKat Finds A Home saga:The Dakota board loves Cruise, he wowed 'em. Plus, he's a hero to the Wall Street worthies on the board —Top Gun, Jerry McGuire, Mission: Impossible, etc — they love that crap.Stay tuned for a strongly-worded denial, oh, any minute now. More »

Point/Counterpoint: Tom Cruise IS Moving Into The Dakota
Despite disavowals, a source is insisting that TomKat is (are?) somewhere between offering and approval on a Dakota "4 bedroom, five baths corner apartment plus an adjacent 2 bedroom to combine. It's not on a high floor." We're not sure what to believe anymore; but for those who like their innuendo with a dash of irony, this does sound a bit like the description of the late Leonard Bernstein's apartment. More »

Could Tom Cruise Make It Past Morals Police On Dakota Board?
Should Tom Cruise decide to purchase a pied terre in the Dakota—an event, sadly, more longed for than likely; a source tells us that "Tom prefers the Carlyle"—he'd face some fairly strict scrutiny. A tipster explains who does and doesn't get into the Dakota:Does Cruise have Board approval to buy a place? There are two types of apartments in the Dakota: large luxury spaces with many rooms, and smaller apartments with high ceilings and beautiful woodwork but no bigger than 800 or 1000 square feet. Some of these are owned by moderately successful Wall Street types, but they tend to have strong representation on the board.More »
