Katie Wants to be Posh

Katie Holmes got her hair cut. Gee, thinks she wants to look just like her new BFF Posh Spice? Bet she colors it blonde next.

TomKat Gets Around!!

Click here for lots of Katie Holmes Photos

Here's Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise and adorable Suri, on the set of her movie "Mad Money" last week. I don't know if it's just this picture, but don't you think that Tom Cruise has been looking younger and younger lately? Maybe he's had a face lift? He's definitely lost weight since the wedding. This picture of them looks like it was taken 20 years ago. Is "Mad Money" set in the '80's?

These two really get around, they were spotted on the weekend in Georgetown biking on the C&O Canal towpath, and apparently were in good spirits and signing autographs and having their photo's taken with the ordinary folk of Washington.

Tom & Katie's New Crib

People is reporting that Tom Cruise has put down $35 million on a new house in Beverly Hills for the happy little family. They have been renting their current home but the lease runs out next year. The mansion (I refuse to call it a house) has seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms. It sits on 1.3 acres behind gates and is being described as a "traditional-style residence". And in case you were worried that the move would take them away from their best friends Victoria and David Beckham, fear not. They also just bought a new multi-million-dollar home only two minutes away. Thank goodness.

Katie Makes Secret Phone Calls

Katie Holmes is taking advantage of being on a movie set, far away from the confines of her Hollywood prison. Sources told Life & Style that she has been contacting old friends that she hasn't spoken to in two years and not only that but she has also been....gasp....secretly speaking to a Catholic priest! According to the source, she called an old friend, Meghann Birie, who she hasn't spoken to since meeting Cruise.

"She wanted to talk to someone not in Camp Cruise. Katie told Meghann she can't believe she abandoned her old life."

It is also being reported that in addition to talking to a priest, she is considering enrolling Suri in "Kiddie Catholicism" classes.
Wow! Better hope the king of Scientology, aka, her husband doesn't get wind of this. He will take all her phones away and chain himself to her side!

Book Update!

On Monday, we told you about a new book that is creating quite a bit of buzz due to it's similarities to Katie Holmes' life. Hollywood Car Wash by new author Lori Culwell is 'based on real stories' and focuses on a girl that gets her start on a tv series then gets into a contractual relationship with a big star.
TMZ got the following comment from Culwell,

"I can't discuss any relationship with Katie Holmes, but I am sorry that she's upset about the book."

Her lawyer of course told her to keep her trap shut as to whether or not she even knows Katie Holmes but she did say "the main character is based on a person that is never, ever going to talk to me again."
Meanwhile, Holmes' rep denied that Katie has even heard of the book, let alone read it. It may become a movie though, according to Culwell, production companies are reading it now.
"maybe Katie Holmes would like to play the main character."
Oh snap!!

Trouble in Outer Space?

Could Katie Holmes have finally come to her senses?? Life & Style is reporting that Katie ran out on him after a nasty spat!

"...on March 23, after he informed her she hadn’t been cheerful enough in public — yet another attempt to control her behavior — things took a surprising turn: Katie “ran out of the house,” says an insider close to the couple. “She had to get away from Tom because it was like living in a pressure cooker. She couldn’t take it anymore."

I am still in the camp that says this marriage was totally done under contract and that baby Suri is not Tom's. She always looks so drugged and unhappy. If the idea was to help both of their careers, it doesn't seem to be working! Free Katie!

Katie Holmes' Life Makes For a Good Book!

According to 'a friend of Katie Holmes', Katie is in a snit about a book just released in which the main character seems to be quite similar to her. Lori Culwell's new novel, Hollywood Car Wash, is a satire about the industry and says the so called 'friend',

"Someone gave her a copy last weekend, and she's been reading it non-stop ever since. She's already having problems with Tom, and now she feels like her private life has been exposed. She's really upset."

So what's the story all about? Apparently, the book focuses on a young actress who made her mark on a tv show. She is forced to lose weight, take drugs and gets into a contracted relationship! Culwell has denied that the character is based on Holmes, but check out what she does say on her MySpace page:

"A few years ago, I moved back to Los Angeles from New York. I got back in touch with some of my friends from high school (some of whom, yes, are in the industry). Two or so years ago, I decided that some of the stories I heard here in LA were too absurd not to share, and so I took those stories (ALL of which are true), and put them in a novel. Because seriously, there is some crazy and unbelievable crap that goes on out here.It is a fact that I know some celebrities, and some people who know some celebrities. So yes, I know some things. And no, I can't tell you who-- though if you read my novel you can find out what."

Call me a sucker, but I am so buying this book!

Hollywoods Newest Educator: Posh Spice

Ok, maybe it's the wine that I am forced to consume to deal with the Marcia Brady news, but I find this story totally hilarious. Guess who is forming a book club? Victoria Beckham! She is organizing a monthly book cub and intends to teach her American girlfriends all about English literature! Posh Spice is going to teach English lit, people!! Is this legal? Is she certified? I'm totally shocked that Posh is a book reader at all let alone capable of teaching some poor American chicks the finer points of English literature. And you already know who her main gal-pals in need of enlightening are. Yup, Katie-trapped in Scientology hell-Holmes and Jennifer Lopez. According to the Daily Star,

"When Victoria told Katie about a book club, Katie thought it was a great idea, especially as she would love to earn more about British classics."

I bet Katie is only joining so she can get off the mother ship once a month.

Awwwww.....

Check out Suri's St. Patrick's Day dress!! Too cute!

Photo of the Day

I know it's only 8:25 a.m. est, but I am willing to bet this will be our photo of the day.

What a happy little family.

Katie To Be Posh's Wingman?

We all know that Victoria Beckham is getting her own reality show, but the news today is that Katie Holmes, Posh's BFF wants in on the show as well. She's thrilled for Posh and thinks it would be fun to share the screen time!

MSNBC is reporting a "friend" says of Katie, “She’s hoping to let the world see her as a happy wife and mother!”

I'll just bet. If it's true, it would all be for show, although I can't imagine Tom letting someone else have the final say in the editing room where Katie is concerned!!

Tom Plans to Be on Katie's Movie Set Everyday

So Happy Together.....

Katie Holmes is due to start filming her new movie "Mad Money", along with Queen Latifah and Diane Keaton, and Page Six is reporting that Tom Cruise plans to be on the set, with Suri, EVERY day.

One insider said, "Tom has called producers and told them he will be on set every day. "He wants to observe what's going on and will probably help Katie out." The couple will likely bring their infant daughter, Suri, along as well.

Poor Katie, that's just too much. Give the woman a break! No wonder she roams around looking like a zombie. She gets no time to herself.!! Page Six is also saying that Tom "let" Katie do this movie because it is a female buddy movie and there are no sex scenes or love interests for Katie to deal with.

Katie's only hope is that Queen Latifah can knock some sense into her in a quiet moment.

Stretch Like Gumby, Dammit

No matter how you feel about TomKat, they were looking quite gorgeous at the Vanity Fair Oscar afterparty. According to Life & Style, they may have had a little work done before the big party.

"A rep for the couple denies the two have had work done, but a pal of theirs says both stars can attribute their radiant glow to a series of Titan skin-tightening treatments."

First of all, do they mean theatan skin-tightening treatments? And second of all, ouch! I'm all for looking great, but that just sounds painful! Would your standard facial do the same trick?

Katie Holmes Is Very Tall

This is Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes at the Vanity Fair party after the Oscars last night. They were MIA on the red carpet, even though Cruise presented an award to Sherry Lansing during the ceremony. I cannot get over how much taller she is than him in this photo. Isn't he usually really strict about his wives not looking taller than him? Didn't he make Kidman wear flats around everywhere so they would look like the same height? Don't you think that Katie even looks like she's on tip toe in this photo? Is she trying to look taller?

Baby Suri!!!!

It's Suri!!! Katie Holmes and....hahah.....Tom Cruises'....hahah....daughter! Sorry, still can't quite seem to get that second part out without laughing. There she is being held by mom, Katie. Looks like grandma may be a bit confused as to which direction they are going in. Or maybe she was about to pull a Heather Mills on the photographer. That is one cute baby. I think she looks just like Katie.

Katie Holmes is Bazaar!!

Katie Holmes is giving her first interview since she because Mrs Tom Cruise, in Harper's Bazaar's March issue. PEOPLE are reporting that Katie gushed about her husband and family.

"I have a husband and children that I adore. I have a career that I really love. When I sit back and reflect, it's – wow!" Holmes, 28, says in the March issue of Harper's Bazaar."I am very grateful. Tom makes me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world and has since the day I met him. I love being with him. I love calling him husband."

Frighteningly, Katie's close friend, Victoria Beckham , was the stylist on Katie's photo shoot for Bazaar.

"Victoria has a strong sense of style – she knew the pieces she wanted Katie to
wear," said Bazaar editor Glenda Bailey.

This is really the first we have heard from Katie Holmes since the extravagant wedding in November , and she is gushing all over the place about her "children" (I wonder how Nicole Kidman feels about that?) and married life. I'm happy for her if she is believing her own press. Something is still not right about Cruise and Holmes, and even the Katie Holmes/Victoria Beckham friendship seems a little odd to me.

There has even been some speculation that Katie has had a nose job. It's hard to tell, but she is definitely thinner in the face these days.

Katie, I loved you in Pieces of April. Let's hope Tom lets you off the leash long enough to make some more good movies like this.

Tom Cruise - Messiah?

The Sun is reporting that Tom Cruise has been told he has been "chosen" to spread the message of Scientology throughout the world.

And leader David Miscavige believes that in future, Cruise, 44, will be worshipped like Jesus for his work to raise awareness of the religion. A source close to the actor, who has risen to one of the church’s top levels, said: “Tom has been told he is Scientology’s Christ-like figure. “Like Christ, he’s been criticised for his views. But future generations will realise he was right.”

Cruise joined the Church of Scientology in the 1980's and has made no secret of his involvement and devotion to the church since that time. It has been rumored that he has been recently trying to recruit Victoria and David Beckham to the religion, and Cruise is not shy about sharing his views on Scientology and how they relate to medicine and psychiatry, as was evidenced last year in a very public spat with Brooke Shields and Matt Lauer, over Shield's use of medication for post-partum depression.

All his spouting of Scientology, couch jumping, rumoured Scientology "silent birth" for wife Katie Holmes and daughter Suri, and three-ringed circus November 2006 wedding, have done nothing for Cruise's messiah image, only made his whole life seem like a mystifying joke.

My only question is, if Tom Cruise is the new Jesus , who does that make Katie Holmes?
