Here are some cute pictures of Katie Holmes bidding adieu to Tom Cruise over the weekend in Boston. Tom looks a little sad, but Katie seems to have a spring in her step, doesn’t she? She’s standing up straight, she doesn’t look so zombie-esque (scratch that - she still looks like a zombie, actually), and she seems physically more dominant than Tom. What led to this change in everybody’s favorite robot?
Katie just signed on to a new movie! Not only will she be taking the lead role in The Romantics, but Katie will be a first-time executive producer. The Romantics is being billed as something akin to The Big Chill. It starts filming in New York this week, and Katie has taken over the role from Liv Tyler, who left for unknown reasons (my theory: because Xenu commanded it):
Katie Holmes has replaced Liv Tyler in the independently financed comedy “The Romantics.”
The actress has come aboard to topline and exec produce the pic, which also stars Anna Paquin, Josh Duhamel, Malin Akerman, Elijah Wood, Adam Brody and Jeremy Strong. Team Todd, Plum Pictures and Benaroya Pictures are producing.
Project, which had originally been scheduled to lense in the summer, begins shooting this week in New York.
Film revolves around eight friends from college who reunite for a wedding. Holmes, fresh off her role in Miramax’s “Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark,” will play Laura, the maid of honor to Anna Paquin’s Lila, the bride. Laura and Lila are best friends who both have a past with the groom (Duhamel).
Screenplay was adapted by Galt Niederhoffer from her novel; she will also direct.
[The film] marks Holmes’ first producing credit.

It sounds like an interesting project, but… Liv probably would have been better, right? Katie was never the world’s best actress, but her career has definitely gone downhill since she married Tom. This sounds like a dialogue-and-pratfall-filled role, and Katie doesn’t have the chops or the energy for it. But I could totally be wrong. Maybe she’ll shine. Maybe Xenu will provideth.
Speaking of Xenu, there’s a new scary story about someone trying to leave the Church of Scientology. The guy’s name is Sinar Parman and he was the “five star chef who prepared the 1990 wedding feast for Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman.” When he decided to leave CoS, he was tracked down, harassed and audited - multiple times and for years. It’s a scary story and an interesting read. Katie Holmes should take it as a cautionary tale, for real.

Its pretty sad when Tom is wearing tighter pants than Katie is…

Katie got a nose job, why not Tom?
-
she looks like a hobo. and she cannot act in comedies and I wish she would accept that and go back to drinking barley water with her wee hobbit of a husband.
-
And yeah she looks horrible. Maybe her Halloween costume?
-
These two crack me up: him with this little lift shoes and her with her horrible, dirty, baggy, homeless man jeans.

I like Liv Tyler too, but I have to say if these characters are all supposed to be contemporaries Liv is a bit too old for all of them. I think she is mid-to-late 30s and the rest are late 20s, early 30s.
Also, the way they have arranged the characters –I would have put Josh Duhamel with Malin Akerman. Between Anna, Katie and Malin, Malin is by far the most beautiful and Josh is a beautiful boy. Anna is alright but I prefer her paired with a more quirky/less pretty boy leading male.

i still think she either is dressed by Tom, or else she dresses dumpy on purpose so as not to provoke Mr. I-am-the-alpha-male and you are an extension of me.

Which one’s the girl???
-
First time executive producer = bought her way into a movie she never would have been offered.

Instead of being in the media trying to sell a picture of happiness like the Pitt-potty-head and the Satan-gelina, this couple is always together, with the kids around, with family and friends around(which the other two do not have), working, travelling, playing, etc… Which one does not fit with the picture of happiness??

Remember when she used to dress really nice and her hair was groomed? Those days must be long gone. Just because you become a mom does not mean you have to look and dress way down all the time with no makeup. Have a little pride Katie!
-
Katie sure is looking more and more butch as time goes on. Wonder if it’s an act for some reason or whether she’s allowing her natural preference to surface? What a weird couple.
-
lol he’e such a midget she has to be the one with her arm over his shoulder and he looks subservient for a change because he has his arm around her waist.
She can look decent when she gets rid of the dark eye circles. She always looks so tired and older because of it. I think she had a stylist or someone was dressing her when she first got married to Tom. Now, I think she doesn’t care enough to really try anymore. -
Someone get this woman some concealer, lip gloss, something! She always looks as if she just rolled out of bed, grabbed something from the hamper, ran her fingers through her hair, and walked out the door. Makeup and good grooming are not the enemy Katie.
-
anak, what photos have you ever seen with friends around them? ive never seen any. the only ‘friends’ who have been in pictures have been identified as scientologist handlers. and katie isnt even barely allowed to see her parents.

They dress really badly

Maybe Liv bailed for her dad. I heard something happened to him, not sure if it was rehab or an accident though.
