Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes reached a settlement in their divorce case less than two weeks after Holmes unexpectedly filed for divorce.

"The case has been settled, and the agreement has been signed," Holmes attorney Jonathan Wolfe said. Cruise's rep, Amanda Lundberg, confirmed the settlement. Neither offered details.

Earlier, a statement from Lundberg and Holmes rep Nanci Ryder quoted the couple as saying: "We are committed to working together as parents to accomplish what is in our daughter Suri's best interests. We want to keep matters affecting our family private and express our respect for each other's commitment to each of our respective beliefs and support each other's roles as parents."

The Los Angeles Times, citing an unidentified source, said the agreement gives the actress primary custody of the couple's daughter but allows both a say in her religious upbringing. How 6-year-old Suri will be raised was the only real issue on the table during talks in New York because a prenuptial agreement governed how much money Holmes would get from the vastly wealthier Cruise, the source said.

'Glee' meets Archie

The kids from Riverdale are no strangers to high school angst, worries about fitting in or music. Neither are the teens from "Glee." Now, Archie, Betty, Veronica and resident boy genius Dilton Doiley will match wits -- and maybe a vocal or two -- with the likes of Finn Hudson, Kurt Hummel and Rachel Berry in the pages of Archie Comics, said Jon Goldwater, the co-chief executive officer. Goldwater unveiled the planned collaboration on Monday, before Wednesday's start of Comic-Con in San Diego. He said the crossover between the Fox show and the comic book is set for late this year or in early 2013, and the four-issue arc is being written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, one of the television show's writers.

A HUNGER FOR HOFFMAN: Oscar-winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman has joined the cast of "The Hunger Games" sequel "Catching Fire" as head gamemaker Plutarch Heavensbee, according to Lionsgate, the studio behind the movies. Hoffman will play the sly orchestrator of the 75th annual Hunger Games, replacing the previous gamemaker, Seneca Crane (Wes Bentley), who met an early demise after allowing heroine Katniss Everdeen to manipulate the previous games. Hoffman will play opposite "Hunger Games" cast members Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth and Woody Harrelson. The sequel is being directed by Francis Lawrence ("Water for Elephants"), who took over for Gary Ross this year.
