Katie Holmes says she's converting to the Church of Scientology, embracing the religion of her boyfriend, Tom Cruise.

Holmes, in London to promote her new film, "Batman Begins," said Monday that she's excited about her lessons in Scientology, a religion founded by science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard.

The 26-year-old actress and Cruise went public with their romantic relationship in April. The former Catholic and star of television's "Dawson's Creek" grew up with a poster of Cruise on her bedroom wall and has said she grew up wanting to marry him.

"We all keep dreaming, and luckily, dreams come true," Holmes said.

My wife speculates that this was the biggest factor with Nicole Kidman---she would not put up with a nutball religion.

There's a jug of used motor oil on my front porch which is more intelligent and intellectually curious and, like, eloquent, like, than this pathetic little fool.

Actors make their living by *pretending*. Such an activity, when caried on for very long periods of time, can cause someone to lose grip on reality a bit. Hense the preponderance of Liberals and other nutjobs in the acting profession. This is just one more example.

Although it's a religion of peace watch out for the occasional rattlesnake in the mailbox rite.

Is that what it's called? I thought the technical term was a John Edwards.
