Katie Holmes apparently had a lucky escape on the set of her latest film when the stunt car she had just got out of caught fire. A little too close for comfort by anyone's standards.

Katie is currently in Australia with 'too-cute-for-school' daughter Suri, shooting horror film 'Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark'.

Although recent pictures of her chasing little Suri around the set show a happy looking Katie acting like any normal mother, the 30-year-old had earlier been accused of looking tired and dowdy. A mother looking tired and dowdy - never!

Observers suggested that, with Tom back in LA, she was struggling to combine her long hours on set with caring for her daughter. Pardon me for leaping to conclusions but given that she is living in billionaire friend James Packer's private suite in Melbourne, I doubt that things are soooo tough for her!

Not to be left out of the trip Down Under, Tom was with the girls for the first few weeks and was spotted shopping with Suri who picked out three lip glosses from a department store. Three? Should we assume this means one for Katie, one for Suri and one for the next little Tom-Kat kitten?

Yes, you guessed it. Some rumours suggest that Katie may be hiding the early signs of another baby bump. We shall keep a keen eye on that one.

In the meantime, let's hope Katie gets over her brush with danger and can enjoy what she does best: acting and playing chase with her little girl.
