Katie Holmes is refusing to participate in any publicity events for new movie 'Batman Begins' - because she is furious people are questioning her relationship with Tom Cruise.

The former 'Dawson's Creek' beauty, who started dating the Hollywood heartthrob earlier this month, is distraught people believe the pair's fledgling romance is fake and is now refusing to talk to the media about it.

A source said: "Katie was shocked that people could even suggest their relationship is a publicity stunt.

"She's a sincere girl and she's besotted with Tom, that's why she's decided to step away from the publicity mill. Hopefully it will shut the cynics up."

Since news of their relationship was made public, Cruise has taken every opportunity to tell the world how much he is in love with Katie.

Last week, the handsome actor confessed he was head-over-heels in love with the stunning brunette and was thinking about proposing to her.

He said: "I'm going to discuss it with her. Honestly, I haven't had this kind of experience before."
