JOAN RIVERS - RIVERS MOCKS CRUISE AGAIN

Acid-tongued comedienne JOAN RIVERS questioned the paternity of KATIE HOLMES and TOM CRUISE's baby daughter SURI at an Australian awards show last weekend (07MAY06). The American funnywoman was hosting the Logies - Australia's equivalent to the Emmys - at the Crown Casino in Melbourne, Australia last Sunday (07MAY06) and took the opportunity to mock the TOP GUN's star. Rivers said, "Did you hear Tom Cruise just had a baby? He was there when it was born... He should have been there when it was conceived!" Last October (05), Rivers accused Holmes of being untalented and claimed her engagement to Cruise was the best thing she had ever done. Rivers said, "Each woman has done very well by him - NICOLE KIDMAN and PENELOPE CRUZ. So this one, Katie Holmes , who doesn't seem to have much talent, is probably the luckiest of all. I saw her in BATMAN BEGINS and, let's just say, she better hang on to Tom for a while!"
