Life & Style magazine, the glossy world's loosely sourced authority on the imminent disintegration of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' partnership, once again taps its network of "insiders" and "confidants" for information about America's Most Suspicious Couple, this time reporting that Cruise won't accompany his war bride to present the Miracle Baby to her parents. Notes The Scoop:

"He told Katie he wasn't going, considering the bad relations between him and her family," an "insider" told the mag. "Katie was really happy he said that, because she'd been afraid to admit to him that she didn't want him to go."

The couple allegedly had a "huge argument" which ended with Katie declaring, "I'm doing this and you can't stop me." Her rep denies the story.

Cruise reportedly decided to fly his fiancée and tot to Toledo, drop them off and fly back to pick them up.

The episode, however, may be giving Holmes second thoughts. A "confidant" of hers told the mag: "Katie's very unhappy and beginning to realize she may have made a major mistake being with Tom."

It will be a tear-filled, joyous homecoming when the proud grandparents fuss over the infant at a distance of not closer than five feet, admiring her beautiful eyes (not Katie's, but whatever—they won't love her any less) through the cracks in the human wall of "nannies" encircling the baby, so happy about the event that they hardly even notice the menacing drone of the Cruise-piloted biplane impatiently circling their house, waiting for the visit to be over.
