Katie's secrets

So what if he jumped on Oprah's couch? Tom Cruise is actually a "manly romantic," says his wife, Katie Holmes -- looking gam-orous in the August issue of InStyle.

Holmes reveals details of the reclusive duo's relationship to the magazine, saying they are always thinking of creative ways to make the other happy.

Two years ago, Cruise, 49, took Holmes for a ride in his P-51 fighter plane. "He'd painted the words 'Kiss Me Kate' on the side," she fawned.

The leggy actress, 33, also reveals she likes to splurge on "nice undies" -- and teased that hot pink is her favorite.
