OK Magazine UK is claiming that Katie Holmes is putting her career before babies – gasp! But don’t worry – they say she will have another baby once she has a hit movie. Apparently OK has sources inside Katie’s uterus – or about that close. Which frankly wouldn’t surprise me – you know how chatty Fallopian tubes can be, especially when questioned by tabloid journalists.
KATIE Holmes will have another child after making her next film.
The actress, who has three-year-old daughter Suri with husband Tom Cruise, is desperate to star in a box office hit before she expands her family.
A source said: “She wants another hit before she has a second baby.”
Katie’s last film Mad Money failed to impress at the box office when it was released in 2008.
The crime comedy, also starring Queen Latifah and Diane Keaton, only managed to match its estimated £17 million budget when its cinema run ended.
The 30-year-old star is currently on location in Australia filming horror movie Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark alongside Guy Pearce.
Katie recently insisted she believes it is possible to be a good mother and have a successful career.
She previously said: “I happen to be a woman who believes she can have it all. We women can do an awful lot if we put our minds to it.
“And not only that, we can have fun doing it! Even when it’s crazy – which is pretty much most of the time – it’s fun. At least, that’s been my experience.
“It’s a good combination for me and Tom – work and family, a healthy balance.”

Katie’s career really seems like it could go either way at this point. If she chooses good projects and works with the right people, it could pick back up again. I seriously doubt we’ll ever see her making an Oscar acceptance speech, but you never know. If Tom Cruise had dialed down the crazy at the beginning of their relationship, his connection could have been good for her. Instead it seemed to really hamper an already dimming career. It sounds like Katie has a good plan in terms of focusing on her career right now. She seems like the kind of mom who always puts her child first, and it doesn’t look like Suri’s suffering from any lack of love and attention while Katie’s on set. But another baby could put her out of commission just as things are starting to pick up for her again. Katie’s young and has lots of time to have children – and hey, maybe even a Golden Globe or a SAG award too.

then she could be waiting forever…
My immediate response to the headline? “Then she’ll be waiting a looooong time.”
ash – great minds think alike!
A source said: “She wants another hit before she has a second baby.”
ANOTHER hit? Am I forgetting something? When did she have a hit to begin with?
I think if she’s waiting to have hit movie before having another baby, Suri is doomed to being an only child.
maybe she should go back to TV – just as Neve Campbell did – she’s not pretty enough and not talented enough to carry a bit hit movie. but maybe she can carry a nice, well scripted TV series.
It looks so cold and Suri W/O socks?????????
Sury has taken some giant steps in her clothing. She’s wearing a coat and pants. Tom and Katie used to dress in short sleeve dresses with no coat or shoes in the fall/winter in NYC. No shoes is a minor detail. Katie wasn’t a major actress before Tom so it was really slim she would be after. I think she could have a consistant movie career. But she’s never going to be A-list.
So she won’t have a second child….
This is the same less than smart woman that passed on “The Dark Knight” to do that piece of crap “Mad Money”.
You know, she is kind of more famous for being Suri’s mom than for being an actress at this point. But waiting for a hit… that’ll be a long wait.
my bet is that she’s not having another baby because she’s trying to get away from the crazy dwarf.
to Green is Good…she didn’t pass on that movie, they passed on HER. she stunk up the first one so badly that they didn’t want her back.
I like Maggie, but I would have loved Katie back is Rachel. Something about killing Maggie made me sad.
and where did you hear that anyways? I’ve seen numerous reports and interviews saying she passed on it because she thought Mad Money would do wonders for her career
Obvious – I remember a lot of stories when Batman Begins was released that the production company was pissed off with her because she babbled endlessly about her wonderful love when she was supposed to be promoting the movie. An actor’s job doesn’t just end when they finish shooting; promotion is one of their responsibilities. She didn’t come through.
I don’t doubt that her people (and Tom’) put a lot of effort into making sure the story went away.
to Obvious…
the only reports/interviews I’ve seen that have her passing up that role came from HER camp.
the director had pretty much come right out and said they didn’t ask her to reprise her role.
think about it…reprising a role in a HUGE blockbuster with the potential for more sequels, or a lame-sounding-from-the-get-go movie that was essentially a remake of another crap-fest?
sure, the crazy dwarf would like you to believe that she passed on it (and therefore save some face), but that’s just not the case.

If her performance in that movie was any deader, they would probably have checked to make sure she had a pulse!
My guess is their sex life is dead and that’s why baby number two isn’t here and isn’t coming.
If that’s the case, she’ll be waiting til the sun burns out.
And I second the “another hit” comment. When was her presumed 1st hit? She can be very pretty, but the girl is duller than dishwater & always has been.
well, I guess suri is going to be an ONLY child of Katie and Tom!
do you mean have another clone? tom cruise doesn’t have sex with women.

Really? This misconception is a common reason many women end up in fertility treatments/wringing their hands when they have trouble finally getting pregnant. Timing is personal, yes, but some women over estimate how much time they have and end up in heartbreak. Honestly this celebrity trend for typically high risk/hard to get pregnant age group women- in their 40s- gives some women false hope. What many celebs will not say is whether they used a surrogate egg, etc (and why should they, it’s kinda private)
Just saying..
I think you should continue
