    this week.

    we went around outside the Globe Theatre. Just hung out in
    Rome," said Cruise to reporters as he then proceeded to
    kiss Holmes.

    2001, Cruise dated Spanish beauty Penelope Cruz
    and was more recently linked to Colombian-born actress
    Sofia Vergara.

    "Dawson's Creek" will co-star along side Christian Bale in
