People Magazine
As one of Hollywood's most powerful stars, Tom Cruise is accustomed to being in control.

"He had no idea this was coming," a source tells PEOPLE in this week's cover story. "He's totally devastated and heartbroken."
In reportedly moving for sole custody of their 6-year-old daughter Suri, Holmes has signaled she will not be backing down.
