Hollywood actress Katie Holmes hates the constant media attacks on her marriage to Tom Cruise - insisting it is not fake.

The Dawson's Creek star has been the centre of media attacks since she wed Cruise in 2005 and had baby Suri a year later.

But she has hit back at the press for printing lies about her family - branding it a load of "s**t".

She tells Vanity Fair magazine, "I do know what is being said in the press. This is my family, and I do care about them. The stories are not okay. It eats away at me."

"Some of the crap that's out there - it's really frustrating the amount of s**t that's out there!'"
