On Friday, TomKat jumped the couch. Katie Holmes filed for divorce from Tom Cruise after 5 1/2 years of marriage. Best-selling biographer Andrew Morton, author of "Tom Cruise: An Unauthorized Biography" (St. Martins Press), explains why it was a true Hollywood romance --because from the beginning, Holmes was playing a part.
When Tom Cruise turned 42, his best friend, controversial Scientology leader David Miscavige, threw a lavish birthday party, costing an estimated $300,000, on board the churchs cruise ship. He flew in singers, dancers and even Toms favorite sushi chefs for the bash, where the actor was serenaded with the medley of songs from his box-office hits.
Its the best birthday ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, and I mean ever, he said, with typical understatement.
Tuesday, Toms 50th birthday, will lack some evers. He will be in his trailer in the wilds of Iceland, where he is filming the aptly named Oblivion. Instead of the expected cards and presents from Katie Holmes, she sent him a confetti of legal papers and correspondence marking the end of their five-year marriage.
...Katie doesnt want Suri getting deeper into the cult, sources tell me. Suri is now at an age where she will face frequent formal interrogation about her behavior, what Scientologists call sec checking. In the fight for the heart and mind of Suri, her future religion Katie was raised a Catholic will be critical.

Something is seriously wrong there, 99 questions for your kids and the parents consent to this?
I think it was $3 million a year, so probably $18 million by the time it’s all done.
Why does he keep on married Catholic women that will eventually wake up?
Trying to convert? A fetish? Of course, it’s not like Nicole and Katie are true practicing Catholics or I’d think they’d never have fallen for this crap to begin with.
Is there something about Rush L. that I’ve missed?
MAC or PC? Give me a UNIX box hard-wired to the super compututer of your choice. Ha!
How could she not have know about Tom’s obsession with Scientology before she married him. Everyone knows about him. Geesh.
Well, isn’t a Mac a UNIX box?
I dunno, I don't listen to the man. Does he lisp?

I guess so. She squandered a pretty decent acting career for nutjob Cruise and 6 years of being a tabloid caricature. Scientology is the biggest crock ever, I don’t understand how people get mixed up in a cult that makes the Hari Krishnas and Moonies look respectable. That’s a lot to overcome but I actually hope it works out for her.
I introduced my 18 month old to “Jump Start Toddler” computer software in 1997. She won’t touch an Apple product. Her rabid hatred is amusing. I know what button to push if I want a rant. And evil mom- I sometimes make her answer my Iphone. Bwahahahahaha. (Sorry for the tread drift.) Of course she had to listen to me a few days ago ranting about over a decade of trying to find a linux disto that worked with all my computer components. And I so face palm that I went to CMU in the 70s and didn’t choose computer science.
“Why does he keep on married Catholic women that will eventually wake up?”
Good question. Of course I have to doubt the veracity of much of this article, I don’t think Andrew Morton is a reliable person.
But yes, if his beliefs are so important to him, why doesn’t he find a woman who shares them?
And whatever happened to the baby Kidman was having when they broke up? Did she lose it? The pregnancy is mentioned, but then just the two step-sibs of Suri.

I was sitting in church one Sunday next to a very wise, Godly woman. She pointed out a young couple and said that the man was “sent” to derail her walk with God. I took it with a grain of salt until decades later I realized my born-again mother ended up married to a secular humanist and an aunt married a “Progressive.” Thankfully one aunt married a minister. It became a lot clearer.
