Tom Cruise just made it to Yahoo HQ for his Q&A time, says my man on the scene. And he brought Katie! "Just a few more weeks" til the baby, sez Tom.

Before Tom made it, Yahoo CEO Terry Semel gave a warm-up, telling the crowd of Yahoos that "hell no," they didn't pay Tom to come ("He does a 20mil movie and gets a big part of the gross so he's doing just fine"), and that Top Gun boy flew himself in today.

My Yahoo correspondent liveblogs via IM, after the jump.
