TOM CRUISE - CRUISE INSTALLS IN-HOME HOSPITAL FOR HOLMES

TOM CRUISE has reportedly spent $255,000 (GBP150,000) on an in-home hospital in preparation for the birth of his first child with fiancee KATIE HOLMES. The MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE star believed it was a suitable compromise since the couple have been unable to agree on a home or hospital birth. The room at his Beverly Hills, California, mansion is fully kitted out with a fetal monitor, ultrasound machine, intravenous pump, delivery kit and infant warmer system. A source tells British newspaper The Sun, "Tom thinks his delivery home is the best way of providing a quiet environment." Cruise has also hired three Scientology medics, a midwife, a nurse and an obstetrics expert to assist Holmes.
