Hollywood's hottest couple is having difficulty persuading the public their romance is real. Not only did nearly two thirds of people questioned by People magazine about the Tom Cruise, 42, and Katie Holmes, 26, coupling believe the relationship was a stunt, but even the couple's peers are questioning their sincerity.

PageSix reports that Saturday Night Live funnygal Tina Fey mocked Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' high-profile romance last week in front of a host of celebrities, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Whoopi Goldberg and Diane Sawyer at the Robin Hood Foundation's fundraising gala in New York. In a send-up to Cruise's appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show earlier this month where he jumped on the talk show queen's couch to prove how crazy he was over Holmes, Fey gaveSNL co-star Amy Poehler a high five, before raising her fist in the air, saying, "I love this woman! This woman is so hot..! She's a woman!" and then slapping herself, saying, "Oh my God, I'm so gay."

But the real story is that amidst all of the naysayers, Holmes says that her love for Cruise is real. "I couldn't be happier. I'm so happy," Holmes told Reuters on her way into the world premiere of her latest movie Batman Begins in Tokyo. "He's the most amazing man in the whole world."

Yeah, there's just something odd about this whole thing. It has all the makings of being this year's Bennifer.
