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.

There are three immutable principles of life:
1) You don't spit into the wind
2) You don't pull on Superman's cape, and
3) You don't follow a religion made up by a science fiction writer
>>>Yeah, after seeing that photo again, I have determined those are multiple herpes, not just one herpe.>>
I believe the proper term is herpi. :o)
(just kidding, I have no idea)
Idle hands lead to idol worship......Than again, what does one expect will occur to a DUmmie with so much money and free time to waste....
She's more likely converting her checking account.
Katie Holmes is 26?
A religion helps to form your conscience, permits you to leave when you want, to donate as you can, and to associate with whomever you please, even if they advise against it. Scientology has a long, public record of violating all of these standards of 'religion'.
Good luck, Katie. Run, run fast and far while you still can.
Last week when I saw a Letterman preview, she looked like a female version of Jack Nicholson. I guess it was the Joker-like eyebrows.
Yet another reason we (in our house) don't bother to pay for tickets, don't rent DVD's, don't subscribe to anything but basic Direct TV.
Kookburgers in Hollyweird can dance with snakes, suck cocaine, pilgrimage to eastern countries, lay on heating grates, go topless, march for world (socialist or any other totalitarian politic) peace, and eat bean sprouts all they want. We won't subsidize them anymore!
in her case I'd have to go with 'herpes multiplex'
Thanks for your thread mike,.. and I hadn't been to your website recently.. enjoyed it as always.
Well I am the odd ball here.. although his personal life sucks I have liked much of Tom Cruise's work..He might not be the best actor in Hollywood but some of the movies have been entertaining to me.
I admire the stars who make a apoint to leave the hollyweird mess & live like regular folks as much as possible. TC isn't one of them. And my background knowledge re scientology is that there seems to be some cult to fit anyone's belief systems.. here is a prime example.

The same reason so much other crap is posted on here - to inform and warn everyone else of those who use and abuse you, your life, your family, your liberties, etc., through the replies. Sometimes I only need to skim the article itself and then I learn a ton from others on here who are more knowledgeable about the subject at hand. As far as I'm concerned, not enough people know about this dangerous cult. The more it can be exposed, the better.
At best, only a second rate sci-fi writer of the 50's, he started calling his writings 'self-help' in the 70's, hit the talk show circuits, and later applied for status of 'religion' in the 80's because, in his words, 'that's where the real money is'. It used to be people like him were properly identified as cult leaders and warnings were issued (Jim Jones, the Moonies), but thanks to some aggressive, well paid lawyers, they now call themselves a religion. With very odd beliefs, particularly about illnesses and medications and aliens.
You're cold. >:-}
From "Pretty Woman" to "Pretty Weird Woman", and in only 6 weeks.
Apparently, Mr Cruise-Control compensates for a lack of height (and maybe a lack of something else) by choosing mates who are tall, flat-chested, and eager to adore him.
There really is someone out there for everyone...
If I were to make the information known to those sources it no doubt would be.
Well, maybe. . .
