NERVOUS Katie Holmes is getting the jitters over her forthcoming marriage to Tom Cruise. The actress has confided to friends that she is worried about "commitment". Katie has also revealed she is concerned how her life as Cruise’s partner and mother of his child has stalled her film career. One problem she faces is that Cruise has all her scripts vetted by advisers from the bizarre Church of Scientology, to which he belongs. Katie, 27, spoke to one visitor at the isolated Colorado retreat where she has stayed since the birth of four-month-old baby Suri. She told him she was no longer sure about committing to Cruise, adding: "I don’t have my own life any more. I’m not comfortable." But Cruise, 44, has told friends to be "prepared and ready" for a wedding soon. Insiders say plans for the nuptials – either at one of their homes or the Scientology Celebrity Centre in Los Angeles – have been arranged and cancelled twice, with two different wedding planners. A pal said: "The wedding dress is bought, Tom’s two adopted kids from his marriage to Nicole Kidman will be there, but just where and when is up in the air. Katie is nervous about making a commitment to Tom and the early excitement of their love affair has worn off."

The friend said: "Katie’s been in the house for so long – usually only going out with Tom and a posse of handlers – that she has lost touch with the world. "She feels disconnected. Not only does she want to get back to work, she needs to. But Tom has all of the scripts submitted to Katie being looked over by Scientologists." Katie’s career has stalled since her last role in Batman Begins but Cruise just wants her to stay at home and is keen for her to get pregnant again by the end of the year. He was recently fired from his £30million-a-year deal with Paramount over his increasingly odd behaviour, including jumping up and down on a couch on Oprah Winfrey’s TV chat show, wildly professing his love for Katie. He has also clashed with Katie’s Catholic dad Martin, a divorce lawyer who has hammered out a favourable pre-nuptial agreement for her. After Suri’s birth, it was reported Cruise wanted Katie to get in shape for their wedding but Martin said she needed rest. He also said her family will not attend a Scientology wedding. The friend added: "The relations between her dad and, Tom really upset her. Tom thinks her dad is always urging her to go against him, while her dad thinks Tom’s a control freak – and even said he has her acting like some Stepford wife"
