Katie Holmes plays the name game with Suri

- DOUG CAMILLI camillimai­l@gmail.com

Katie Holmes wants to change Suri’s name, Now magazine is claiming. She waited, I guess, until there was a divorce settlement to spring this.

“She wants to make Suri’s middle name Cruise and change her surname to Holmes,” Don’t Usemyname tells the mag.

Also, Katie “hates the name Suri” and calls the girl Scout. This is, one hopes, a reference to the character in To Kill a Mockingbir­d, rather than an homage to the daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore. So: Scout C. Holmes. She’s 6; Katie is 33; Tom is 50.

US Weekly says Justin Bieber is getting restless. Rumours that he and Selena Gomez had broken up keep surfacing, apparently because they keep almost breaking up, says Us Weekly.

At his birthday party in March she was going around saying she wanted to have his babies, but Justin is “starting to feel antsy,” Nameless Insider tells the mag.

Why? Well, he’s an 18-year-old male with money and fame – what do you suppose he wants? “He’s in his prime and can get any girl he wants. He has definitely thought about being free. … He feels he should be tapping all the girls who come around.” I wonder if he has been talking to Jagger. People unclear on the concept: Ralph Lauren has assiduousl­y built up an all-American image for his fashion label, which is no doubt one reason he was chosen to design and supply the official-ceremony uniforms for this year’s U.S. Olympic team.

So see if you can guess in what country the athletes’ blazers, berets (?), scarves, pants, skirts and shoes have been produced. Right. China. ABC had the story. Other American designers are dumping on him, natch, and you can imagine how this is playing on Fox News.

One more item from that new Mick Jagger bio: author Chris Andersen told Extratv.com that “by one estimate, Mick Jagger has slept with 4,000 women.” He didn’t say who made the estimate.

Let’s see now: Mick is 68. If he started at age 10, and is still at it, and if we assume a constant rate, then we get 69 women a year, or a new one every 5.3 days. Of course the frequency comes down if you postulate multiple … well, think about it on your own. But me, I don’t quite believe it.

You think it’s easy being a celebrity? Ask Katy Perry.

The Sun, in England, says her insurance people are stamping their feet, crossing their arms and pouting about her stage costumes with moving parts.

At one show, Katy told the paper, “my hair got caught in the wheels of my spinning peppermint bra and began to coil around and around. I’m forced to just go with it so, by the end of the song, it looked quite like I was licking my own (rude word). What a girl does for her art.”

The insurance company has ordered her to cease and desist, already, with the spinning chest covers.
