Several different sources are claiming that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are making a move to New York. The Village Voice blog is saying that they first heard it from Nat Hentoff, who heard it from the doorman on his block of west 12th Street in the Village.
The home in question is a town house at 42 W. 12th Street, which has recently changed hands.
Documents show that in April the brownstone in question was bought for $15 million by an LLC, and the documents were signed by local real estate agent M. Nader Ahari as the LLC’s secretary. (Real estate agent James Nelson tells us forming an LLC to purchase a private residence is “unusual.”)
Both Katie’s rep and Tom’s lawyer have denied that the couple bought the home saying, “It is absolutely not true”.
When asked about the townhome, here’s what the doorman had to say:
“Can’t tell you who lives there. I would lose my job. But you know, we doormen know everything that goes on around here. I can tell you the owner won’t be there much because he’ll be filming in LA a lot, and I can tell you he bought the house for his wife, who was in a Broadway show. But I can’t tell you who it is. I could lose my job.”
Who knows who it is! There are a lot of husbands who have wives that are in Broadway shows. I guess only time will tell.
Katie should be headed off to Melbourne soon to begin filming “Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark”. Of course because of the pictures of Katie’s protruding belly at Cameron Diaz’s Hollywood Walk of Fame celebration, everyone is saying she is expecting. If she is, I would think this would delay filming, but “sources” have been saying for months and months that she is expecting. Again, only time will tell.
