Tom Cruise snubs Oprah

Tom Cruise has snubbed Oprah Winfrey by not inviting her to his wedding to Katie Holmes.

The 'Top Gun' star - who is due to tie the knot in Rome this weekend - declared his love for his fiancée to the talk show host in the now infamous couch-jumping incident on her series.

Oprah revealed to US TV show 'Extra': "It's not that I'm not going. It's that they had a limited number of people that they could invite. I was not one of the invitees. That's fine. I don't get invited to everyone's wedding. I don't invite them to everything I do. But I wish them the best.

"I have a great deal of regard for their relationship and so I'm trying to think of what to get them."

Oprah insists she is not bitter and still plans to get Tom and Katie a present - but she doesn't know what.

She said: "I'm easier to shop for, you can get me a bubble bath I'm O, but I don't know what to give them."

David and Victoria Beckham have been invited to the nuptials but they are also stumped about what to give their friends as a wedding gift.

A source said: "David and Victoria are still scratching their heads as to what is the perfect present to give them. It's pretty damn hard finding the ideal gift for Tom and Katie."

Victoria is also struggling to decide what to wear and is trying to choose between seven different outfits.

Meanwhile, airport officials have confirmed that Katie has arrived in Rome, though she has not been spotted and it is not known if she is staying in the same hotel as Tom and his entourage.

The 'Mission: Impossible' actor arrived in Rome on Monday (13.11.06) by a private jet from Los Angeles accompanied by ten people, including his mother and his three children - Conor, 11, Isabella, 13 and baby Suri.

Tom is staying at the Hassler hotel, located at the top of the Spanish Steps, and was seen leaving in a van yesterday (14.11.06) to go out for a meal with his family.
