Ever-popular rag Star is filling us in on the latest with Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, since it's been days -- DAYS! -- since we've mentioned them, and the drama is building. The glossy says Katie may be using a shot at a Broadway revival of All My Sons to make her escape from the Cruise compound!

"She desperately needs to be on her own for a while, but there's no way Tom is going to let her take Suri away," an insider tells the mag. "There's no way he'll allow it. He just doesn't want Katie — or Suri — out of his sight for long. He told her that if she goes to New York, fine, but he goes with her."

Holmes has apparently been hoping that a move to Manhattan could be more of a trial separation, which we take to mean in a "wear and wig a dark glasses before hopping a Greyhound" sort of separation. Tom is sure sounding a lot like Sleeping With the Enemy, if we believe Star.

"Tom wants to call all the shots when it comes to Suri," another source says. "He has a lot of rules, and there's conflict." Maybe they're just fighting about how to celebrate Suri's second birthday on Friday.
