There has been plenty of speculation on the way the fabulous Katie Holmes is to give birth to her baby. The little one could come at any moment and it appears that Tom Cruise and Katie are already battling over the baby.
No - they are not battling over how the baby will be born, but what happens if the pair split after the little one emerges. The rub reportedly is the baby's religion - Catholicism or Scientology?
Life & Style Magazine details in this week's report that Katie is miserable and if there is a split - as that magazine has predicted - Toms demanding sole custody of their child-to-be. That reportedly left Katie in tears.
Normally, a custody battle wouldnt start until after a childs birth. But nothings normal when it comes to Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. Multiple insiders say Tom recently approached Katie with a shocking request: Give him sole custody of their baby, whos due as soon as April. Katie went absolutely nuts and stormed off in tears, says one insider.
Since Tom, 43, went so far as to ask Katie, 27, to sign papers granting him custody, her dad, Martin Holmes, a Toledo, Ohio, divorce attorney, promptly became involved. Martin called Tom, the insider says, and accused him of treating his daughter like dirt. If you dont stop, there will be hell to pay, Martin warned him.
Cue the rep: Toms rep denies the story.
There are many more details in the print article, but the speculated reason is straight out of South Park. Tom wants the baby to be raised as a Scientologist and not a Catholic.
It's tough to see Katie's dad allowing that to happen without a fight.
Cruise is a nut. I feel very sorry for Katie--she made a very bad choice and now she has to fight to at least have joint custody with wackoman.
Some mistakes you just keep paying for. And she's only started.
Tom is an immature jerk.
I call for a boycott of "Mission Scientology III" this summer to send him the message.

This is one time I am rooting for the divorce attorney. She will need all the protection she can get.

Boy those ultrasound machines are getting good.
1. I can imagine what kind of "Catholic" upbringing would be in store. The Hollyweird view of being Catholic is all about advocating lesbian bishops, eco-radicalism, and spitting on the pope.
2. It would be nice if the kid actually is raised a Catholic.
3. A Catholic's marriage cannot be accepted by the Church unless the non-Catholic spouse agrees to rasie any kids as Catholics. So, either the Catholicism was never that iportant to Nicole and she never had a recognized marraige (and so I won't cry for her), or Tom is renegging on his promise (common in these situations).
Oops!!!!
I mistakenly commented on Nicole in item 3!!!
Sorry folks.
Other than the part about Nicole, the information is good.
Wasn't Nicole a Catholic too?
Battle of the Hollywood cults?
I was going to say something chastising about her marrying into a cult, but your last statement made me pity her.
Yes, she will pay one way or another for years. And it's not likely Hollyweird will side with any conventional aspect of the story. They'll side with the freakish cult.
Where have I heard this before?
Sorry, I can't remember.
I thought this was settled months ago.....that the baby would be a scientologist. Tom is a control freak and no way was this overlooked. I can only guess Katie agreed on a Scientology baby but then backed out. Not that I blame her.
I'm sure more than anything else, her parents want to slap her upside the head for hooking up with this hollyweird freak and having his baby. Its daughters like this that put fathers in an early grave.
I've heard she's as dumb as a bag of hammers, but man, talk about selling your soul to make it to the A-list. To have this psychologically unstable homos child and pretend its a real marriage.

Fabulous?
