Katie Holmes has taken the tabloids' accusations as fighting words. Cover after cover screaming about her marriage being over has started to get to her.

"Katie wishes she didn't care about the gossip and rumors, but it is hard for her not to. She is such a sweet person and never has anything bad to say about anyone," a friend tells OK!. "She doesn't understand why some people are wishing problems on her and Tom."

So she's trying to deal with it in her own way.

"Her solution is to keep going about her life, business as usual. She'll keep a smile on her face when she's out in public with Tom and keep the hurt hidden at home."

Katie certainly has had a lot to deal with these days.  It can't be easy being married to one of the biggest super stars on the planet and living your life under a microscope.  Then to top it all off she has us all speculating about how long things will last.  I think any woman would struggle under those circumstances.
