TOM'S BIGGER E. VILLAGE NEST

TOM Cruise and Katie Holmes want to bring their Hollywood lifestyle to the East Village. According to a neighbor, Cruise and Holmes are buying up lofts in a 12-story building slightly south of 14th Street. "Tom and Katie now keep five units in the building. They turned one into [2-year-old daughter] Suri's playroom. One they use for a gym, and two apartments are for staff," said our source. Cruise bought a 10th-floor unit in 1985 and has held onto the space since. "In the past couple of months they've bought up all these other apartments," our source said. "They're all separate and on different floors. Tom is seen coming in and out all the time, and he's really friendly to everyone he meets. But Katie just kind of keeps her head down. Everyone in the neighborhood is buzzing about it." A rep for Cruise denies the couple is buying up units in that building.
