Well, that was quick! If you’ll remember correctly, Katie Holmes filed for divorce immediately before Independence Day (naturally), and then a week later, she and Tom had already hashed out a divorce settlement, which included not only all the details concerning property division but also resulted in Katie retaining full legal custody of Suri. Now less than two months later, a Manhattan judge has finalized the decree, and the two are officially single again. More importantly, Katie is officially no longer married to the unhinged, lift-wearing midget!
In a case of interesting timing, new details have emerged concerning Tom’s deteriorating physical and emotional states following Katie’s departure, which actually shouldn’t be an issue at all since Tom’s an OT Level VIII Scientologist and, as such, should never fall ill or experience psychological problems of any sort. Right. However, many of you noticed that Tom was looking quite tiny (even more so than usual) in those photos of his recent surfacing in Los Angeles. Perhaps it really wasn’t all just one of those “Whoa, he’s got a huge driver” or “Maybe Tom should sit on a phone book” sort of phenomena either. Instead, Tom is reportedly much smaller than he was a few months ago. According to Grazia magazine (via the Mail), Tom is on “the heartbreak diet” and has lost 14 pounds over the course of a few weeks:
In June Tom Cruise’s world was rocked when his wife of five years Katie Holmes filed for divorce. Admitting that he was “deeply saddened” by her choice, the Tropic Thunder actor seemed to be coping well.
However pictures of Tom from last month have now shown what the strain of the collapse of his marriage has had on him, as he had shed 14lbs.
Pictured on July 10 on the set of Oblivion 2, the 50-year-old looked quite beefed out compared to slim figure he cut three weeks later on July 28 in Malibu having lunch with his lawyer.
It has been reported that since Tom got word of Katie’s decision he has dived deeper into work, and is ignoring concern from his family members.
Speaking to Grazia a source said: “Tom’s friends and family have urged him to take a break, but he has brushed off their concern. He is refusing to slow down and is trying to soldier on. He doesn’t seem to be himself. He hasn’t been working out like he normally does and doesn’t appear to be eating well at all. His clothes just hang off him.”
The source also told the magazine: “His way of dealing with this is to throw himself into his work, but as a result he’s not looking after himself, and he risks cutting himself off from people who care about him and want to make sure he’s OK.”
[From Daily Mail]
I feel bad for almost anyone who gets divorced, but it’s hard to feel bad for Tom because I don’t think he was necessarily head-over-heels in love with Katie any longer. Sure, he acted like he thought he was supposed to act in order to convey undying love, but I really don’t think Tom feels normal-type emotions. Humanity has all but been audited out of him. I do think Tom has experienced a massive blow to his ego though, and for the first time in his adult life, someone (that is, Katie) got the better of him. So Tom finally has been forced to realize that he cannot control everyone with whom he comes into contact, and that’s probably a hard thing for him to accept.
Still, I can’t really feel sorry for a person (in this case, Tom) when their spouse leaves them because of verbal abuse and all sorts of other controlling behavior. Especially since Tom’s going to be playing hard ball with Katie for many years to come in regard to Suri. Nope, no pity for Tom on this end. He can go roll around in the splendid fruits of his CO$ slave labor for all I care. Poor, poor Tom.
By the way, here’s a new film still of Tom trying to pull off a brick sh-thouse as Jack Reacher in One Shot. Look at how they made Tom look as tall as Robert Duvall with no lifts required!

I wouldn’t discout Jackie O’s comment. They say a picture is worth a 1,000 words. His manic smile wasn’t in place and the real him (crazy scary) shone through. Sometimes when a person is under extreme emotional stress (Scott’s suicide), they don’t have the strength to keep the facasde up.

I don’t like the guy, but the only thing I see in that photo is someone who is wearing the same old aviators he always wears and has unkempt hair. In fact, it’s the smile that makes him look more loony than anything, IMO.

ISABELLA CRUISE CONSIDERS JOINING SCIENTOLOGY’S ‘SEA ORG’ AFTER BOYFRIEND SIGNS UP

I just went over to Village Voice to read this. Thanks for the link. I can’t make up my mind whether this would be good or bad in the long run. TC is in so deep I don’t think even bad treatment of Isabella would wake him up. He’d probably tell her to ask for more abuse because it is cleansing the thetans or something.

VERY curious what will come of this. I am sure they have been working the bf hard to get him to sign up.
If she joins, I can see her getting pregnant after a while in order to get out (you are not allowed to be pregnant or have children in Sea Org). I hope she stays out. What a mess.

@TrustMeOnThis: From all that I’ve read Sea Org members get pregnant but are strongly pressured not to stay that way. So very, very sad.

Relieved to hear you are out and safe now! Kick ass, sister! You probably didn’t need to lose any weight then because you had to be in fighting shape to make a run for it. Read about Rihanna’s interview yesterday and was so depressed. Thanks for the good news.

Good for you for leaving! My abusive ex also lost a lot of weight when I left and he only weighed 125 to begin with. He got on Paxil because he “couldn’t cope” and then had to stop taking it because he “couldn’t afford it” which was crap. Poor, poor him. He told everyone I gave him AIDS and that was why he lost weight. How disgusting is that? He didn’t want to tell them that he beat the snot out of me on a regular basis, I guess.

I’m so glad you ladies got out of those situations and came out shining.
I didn’t know the weight loss was so common among abusers. Maybe it’s like anorexia, something else they can control. I have no sympathy, but it seems strange.

I’m not sure how they became divorced after 2 months? My friend had a “nasty” high profile divorce in NY and it took 1 1/2 yrs to finalize it. Lots of money and and property, they had to be separated for a year before they could even file for divorce. Anyone out there an attorney that knows how this happens?
Report this comment as spam or abuse
My guess is that everyone agreed to all the terms – no bickering back and forth. They probably had a pretty ironclad prenup and Katie agreed to keep quiet about certain things if she could have primary custody of Suri.
Obviously, I am guessing about ALL of this! I have no idea how anyone can get divorced that quickly. I’m happy for Katie, though.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
I agree with Ojulia. From all the reports the divorce agreement worked out without problems. With a prenup in place (my opinion) most of the details were already worked out and Katie did not contest the prenup. The biggest sticking points would have concerned Suri and they seem to have been able to get through all that without much trouble. Good for them. Divorces drag out when one or both parties won’t compromise.

Can sort of answer this one-NY changed to a more nofault format-what is required is residency for a period, filing the agreement and entry of judgement. It is subject to appeal/modification over a certain period which has now expired. It was actually “final” within a week of the agreement being signed.

It’s obvious these two ass clowns were never legally married. A quick online search shows that NY has a 1 year waiting period for uncontested divorces. Not even the power of Xenu can overrule that.

I don’t know, I am thinking that maybe Tom has been locked up in that desert Cult prison trailer, for the last week or so. As punishment for letting Katie “run” on him.
I just don’t believe for one moment that Cruise has not faded extreme heat from that evil tiny man Miscavige, for allowing Katie to publicly humiliate the whole Cult. By being smarter than all her handlers. Including her husband.
So I am thinking Tom got to spend a little quite time in the hole, to think about his short comings of being a less than stellar, Cult member.

Forced to or wants to? A true believer would see a failure in himself. This is why I fear for Suri. The man does think he’s being a good father. That’s the problem. Totally incapable of seeing what any normal person sees. Frightening for the child.

Boo hoo, he left Nicole Kidman bawling on the floor in the fetal position when he had his lawyer call her and tell her the marriage was over. She was pregnant and miscarried due to the shock and stress. He sent flowers but didn’t visit, after 10 years of marriage! What a shit, a complete shit, and I love it when the Karma wagon pays a visit, as it should

Damn straight!
He’s a sad little man. Also? I totally think those two had a contract and everything played out exactly the way the contract stipulated. I’m not talking pre-nup here, I’m talking about bearding. I truly do not think Suri was conceived by those two knockin’ da boots.

I’m almost finished reading his unauthorized biography; what a lying bastard, lol. I don’t think Suri is Tom’s either, but who knows? Katy did love him; he just needed a wife who was into Scientology. She grew disillusioned with time as there are ALWAYS Scientologists around and he constantly off shooting movies; he is STILL constantly off shooting movies – literally one right after the other. He really cares more about his career than his wife and child.

I don’t think its a contract hard to believe I don’t think any of Tom’s marriages were shams the way they all ended have made me think otherwise. His last two wives seem scarred by him if it was a contract why would they be so upset it would be a mutually beneficial relationship and that’s it. Not the case apparently.
I do think Tom is just an emotionally vacant individual who can’t turn off the “acting” in his personal life.

@DEB: The Andrew Morton book? Fascinating, right? I read that recently, along with Janet Reitman’s Inside Scientology, which I highly recommend.
I know a popular view is that he’s closeted and his wives are beards, but based on the Morton book, which exhaustively examines his relationship history going back to his teen years, I don’t believe this.
I think his weirdness is of a much less common variety, and agree with Bedhead that he no longer experiences true human-type emotions – a combination of his many years of Scientology conditioning, his many years of celebrity (there is no way to be world-famous for 30 years and still be normal), and his own personality, which has always been intense, controlling, perfectionist.
The unfortunate thing for TC is that his fame and wealth meant the worst aspects of his personality could be indulged, and it’s been decades since anyone told him, “Dude, rein it in, you’re being a dick.” The last person who tried was Pat Kingsley, and she got short shrift – much to TC’s subsequent disadvantage.

Oh jeez…looking at those pics of “El Whacko” in the back of that car/limo, playing w/his cell phone….he looks unkempt….beard stubble, bedhead hair, looking really depressed.
Oh! Wait a minute….he can’t be depressed…no frickin’ way! Remember…scientolobots don’t believe in psychiatry. They think psychiatry is EVIL. They think that whatever “ills” you can be cured w/some B vitamins and hooking one up to an E-meter. Oh, and YES…Tom’s a “thetan of the HIGHEST ORDER”….he can rise above it all and….probably even travel through space & time!

I sort of do feel (a little) bad for him, he’s so plugged into the cult, that he’s blind to the damage its caused him, how much he’s lost. Its pathetic. The public is getting so tired of him and the CO$ antics/attitude and also the string of unremarkable flicks, but hey he still has his ego and CO$ lackeys!
I’m thrilled for Katie getting away, she didn’t turn out to be the breeder he’d hoped for. One darling little girl inspired Katie to see light.

If he’s looking for yet another wife, TC$ should go over to Japan with him and buy him one of those automotons that look and act human. He really doesn’t need someone who displays emotion or says anything valuable, so it’d be perfect and money well-spent.
I’m sure there are a variety of customizable options too.

I think Nicole Kidman lives in genuine fear that if she lets as much as one word out about Tom and Co$, her audit tapes will be mysteriously released. That’s how he got Connor and Bella away from her and so deeply entrenched in Co$.
Which leads me to believe that Katie must have something HUGE on Tom that would ruin his career if it was made public. He’s too much of a brainwashed tyrant/control freak to have let this divorce go by so quietly and smoothly.

You’ve beaten the head of the nail . The two were married by the rite of Scientology, but no one knows where and how. After they made a princely traditional Catholic wedding, but without a priest, in the Odescalchi Castle in Bracciano, near Rome. But the Italian marriage was a fake and it is unclear if they were already married or not.
