Movie star Tom Cruise and his fiance, actress Katie Holmes, are expecting a baby six months into a whirlwind romance that has turned the once intensely private Cruise into a giddy and very public lover. News of the pregnancy was first reported by People magazine. A statement from Cruise's publicist, his sister Lee Anne DeVette, added: "Tom and Katie are very excited, and the entire family is very excited." Holmes, she said, "has never felt better."
Meanwhile, the film industry is working to launch online movie download services to avoid the same fate as the piracy-ridden music industry, NBC Universal chairman and chief executive Bob Wright said. "It's something we have to do, but it has to be done well. These movies are so expensive we have to be careful ... We're pretty close. Hopefully by the end of this year we'll be able to do that."
