Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes snub Oscars because of Anne Hathaway

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are snubbing the Oscars — because they don’t want an awkward confrontation with its host Anne Hathaway!

The Hollywood couple are furious that Anne –  who will be presenting the 83rd Academy Awards alongside 127 Hours actor James Franco — mocked Katie on Saturday Night Live in November.

“Tom and Katie don’t want to have to cross paths with Anne,” a source told Britain’s Mail on Sunday newspaper.

“They used to be friends and took Anne to a Tina Turner concert in 2008 when Anne split up from her boyfriend Raffaello Follieri. Katie feels they were really supportive at a difficult time so she feels let down that Anne took to national TV to make fun of her. Anne didn’t even warn her it was going to be on TV. The whole thing has left a sour taste with Tom.”

Meanwhile, sources say Holmes is feeling lonely in her marriage to Cruise.

“She feels he’s a controlling husband and has driven away her close circle of friends,” dished one insider.

“Katie thought their anniversary was the perfect opportunity to sit down with Tom and spend quality time with him. But when Tom told her that he couldn’t fly home, she realized how lonely she was. Katie hoped that no matter what happened, even if things weren’t perfect they’d have a friendship but he’s totally ignoring her and focusing on work.

“She was worried that once she stopped going to Scientology gatherings it would cause problems in their relationship and she’s wondering if her fears are now coming true.”
