Katie Holmes was on the interview circuit in NY stopping by ”Good Morning America” and “Live With Regis and Kelly” and David Letterman, in support of her new movie. Surprisingly to some of us, Holmes was not asked anything related to Scientology or of the claims in Andrew Morton’s tell-all book on Tom Cruise. The tip toeing brought up questions on whether there was a pre-agreement to avoid the touchy subject.

Good Morning America host Diane Sawyer was particularly under fire for only asking Holmes inoffensive, softball questions about her hair, her clothes, her baby and her new movie, “Mad Money.”

Last night, the network was in full damage-control, trying to say its coverage wasn’t a whitewash. GMA’s executive producer said that it was Diane’s intention to ask Katie about the book, but they ran out of time. He told Page Six,

“She (Diane) knew we wanted to be fair and deal with [Holmes’ new] movie and she wanted to talk about her life because Diane likes to produce a well-produced segment and bring something special to it when you get somebody that you don’t see often on live television - but we had a time issue.”

“It was one of those bad calls on my part,” Murphy said. “Diane doesn’t generally get angry, but was she disappointed in how I handled it, yes.”

Yeah right, whatever you say!
