Katie Holmes on the verge of gaining weight

Katie Holmes treats the cast and crew of her latest film to a feast of delicious snacks every Friday.

The "Batman Begins" star, who is filming "Mad Money" with Queen Latifah and Diane Keaton in Louisiana, likes to bring calorific treats on set at the end of every week.

A source told PEOPLE magazine: "It all started the last Friday in April when it got really hot and Katie brought in 300 ice cream cones. The next week she arranged for over 80 pizzas to be flown in from Chicago and baked nearby. It was a lot of pizza. We had vegetarian, sausage, pepperoni. It was good pizza. This week we got cupcakes. They were good, too."

Meanwhile, Tom Cruise has been entertaining the cast by getting his and Katie's daughter, one-year-old Suri, to try out her first words on set.

A source said: "He introduced her to everyone and told her to say 'Hi.' Everyone was cooing over her. Then she waved 'bye bye' to everyone when Tom and Katie took her home. They all truly could not have looked happier. They were just like any other family."

Do Tom Cruise and Katie really have a happy ending?

Have you guys seen Sleeping With the Enemy? Where Julia Roberts runs away from that creepy controlling husband? She fakes her death, changes her look, her name and hides away in this little Southern town, in a house with a wrap-around porch that I was always jealous of.

Anyway, since Katie Holmes has moved down to Shreveport -- and out from her hubby's death grip -- to start filming her new movie, reports are surfacing that Kat has been getting in touch with old friends, who she hasn't spoken to since hooking up with Tom. Life and Style is reporting that Tom's Kat is reconnecting with people from her old life and even secretly talking to Catholic priests!

Katie called former best bud, Meghann Birie. “She wanted to talk to someone not in Camp Cruise,” a friend told the mag. “Katie told Meghann she can’t believe she abandoned her old life.”

The source also says that the actress has invited her parents to visit her on the movie set. “She’s trying to make amends with her family."

This whole story just makes me think of the Julia Roberts flick. I can see Katie falling for a down-home Shreveport teacher and wanting to run away, back to her roots. Then Tom would come to get her and all hell would break loose. For those of you who haven't seen the movie, I won't ruin it for you, but the ending is chilling.
