The Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes tabloid split is just a new house and Katie’s job


Last week Star ran with the provocative headlines “Caught! Tom uncovers Katie’s plans to leave him” suggesting that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes had split up and that their marriage was about to end. The story inside the rag revealed that the claims were based on little more than the fact that Katie would soon be filming in Lousiana without Tom, but that he decided to tag along. Everyone had heard this already after The Post reported it, but Star’s headline made it seem like Katie had hatched this plan to ditch Tom when the actual article revealed that wasn’t the case at all.

This week The Enquirer made the dumb decision to place the same non-story on their front page, and I was again dissapointed to see a misleading title with little or no insider information and no real breakup. The story was just an account of the new house Tom was buying after his rented estate was sold along with the fact that he’s getting a place in NY. A new estate with more room spells some kind of TomKat marriage crisis according to The Enquirer.

Ovewhelmed with the demands of her new life, Katie has encouraged Tom to buy three new homes where she can escape.

“Katie is surrounded by Tom’s family and his Scientology minders,” says a friend, “She need to get away on her own.”

This will be the first time during her marriage to Tom that Katie will find alone time by moving out.

And despite Katie’s upcoming move, divorce is not an option.

“Katie’s strict Catholic upbringing and her determination to bring up their daughter Suri with both a mother and a father mean she will stick to her marriage vows,” said the friend.

[From The National Enquirer print edition, April 19, 2007]

Life & Style says “Katie Storms Out!” and according to the account on their website Katie ran out of the house after a fight on March 23rd. I haven’t read that article so I can’t comment on whether it has some revelatory news about the cult couples’ relationship. Given the fact that all these stories read like a gossip circle jerk, I doubt it.

I did read Life & Style’s fantastic piece of journalism “Does Katie Want Out?” from their April 9th issue, and they do is analyze pictures to say that her body language shows that she’s in control now. The girl got some self esteem, that doesn’t mean she’s ready to throw away her Barney’s card.

Thanks to reader ER for suggesting this article and to Sammie’s Effluvia for some of the scans.

    I think these tabloids have very sad but funny individuals as editors. I mean, lets face it, youare editor and a rag like star or enquirer, you read such a story and still let it be published. How pathetic do you get. Sometimes you have to feel for these poor celebrities.

    Is it only five years, she should renew it, she seems to be doing well for herself. In sports contracts, if your stay with a club is going so well. Both you and the club are getting on like a house on fire, you can negotiate a new contract with even better terms for a longer stay.

    In the next ten years, I will be vindicated that this is the best decision Katie Holmes made in her life, divorce or no divorce.

    Wow, when I looked real quick at the first pic, I thought it was Michael Jackson on the cover!! My god, what happened to cute little Katie Holmes with that quirky smile? I think she’s gone forever. She needs to get away from that lunatic.

    She’ll be better off depending on how you look at it. She can write a memoir about how it is to be married to a man with a secret.
    Only five, Nic must have had another deal.
    I doubt he’ll renew her contract.
    Tommy doesn’t stay in it past 10, and he probably would move on to something new.
    Maybe she won’t be washed up only in her thirties.
    Seems a bit cheap, Steven Spielberg’s first wife got 80 mill.
    You don’t see her working anywhere.

    Is there anyone left in the world who actually believes their ‘love story’?

    I hope for her sake it’s only a five year contract. Maybe all the botox is to control her spasms of rebellion.

    The bit about her being a catholic and not being able to divorce him is incorrect, anyway – they had a scientology wedding, so they’re not actually married in the eyes of the catholic church. Same thing happened with Nicole – I wonder if that was a prerequisite when he went shopping for a bride.

    Hey Kiwi, I believe these two actually love each other, which 44 year old does not love a 26 year old starlett and which 26 year old does not love her teenage pin up. But I do not rule out ulterior motives for their relationship. Of course they both had their heads working over time when they entered into this.

    Country babe think about this;

    If she stays married
    -She lives in wealth
    -Gets to go to places
    -She is inside the hollywood power circle (Remember the peeps at their L.A bash? Those are the powers that be in Hollywood.)
    -Shops till she drops
    – Gets roles she would never have dreamed of (and she will, just you wait).
    -She is famous, all stars love fame, and who new her before this? Some teenagers maybe.

    If she Divorces
    – Hefty Divorce settlement
    – Write a book and has movie deals (though she might have to wait for Tom to die)
    -She has the fame to kick start a career and the world will be on her side and eager to support her.
    -Child support the budget of a third world country
    – One of the Cruise mansions-
    – And I guess that plane with Kiss me Kate since Tom has three planes.
    – Suri will soon be an heiress since Daddy is UA boss and will soon join the billionaire club, give him 10 years.

    Now why would I feel sorry for Katie Holmes when half of hollywood is in crappy relationships and do not stand to gain anything. Look at Michelle and Heath, what will Michelle gain from that? Look at Brad Pitt and Aniston, what did she get after being dubbed a golden couple?

    Believe me, Marrying Tom Cruise was a genius step. The only problem is that you a cover girl for all tabloids every two weeks and too much speculation but that is a small price to pay. Do you think Salma Hayek is in love with whatishisface? This is hollywood!!!!!!

    in addition to the nose…her original nose was cuter….i think she has plumped up her formerly very thin lips, and had and eyelift.

    its not just the scientology minders katie would like to get a break from, its living in a home along with a husband who has had his whole family move in….can you imagine…youre barely over the honeymoon, recently gave birth to a baby…. and your husband forces you to live with your mother in law, his two adopted children from his previous marriage and two sisters in law along with their children and a random cousin….tom’s family are also scientologists with heavy involvement.

    if this in and of itself is not a recipe for disaster, i dont know what is.
    i thought that tom owned some mansion in colorado….he must have other properties already….probably katie would like to have a place to live with just her, the baby and tom…but this whole deal is not set up that way. katie is only a couple years older than tom’s older daughter.

    this is just the adams family. no wonder tom had to interview tons of chicks under the lie that it was for some movie role…..
    i cant see a normal, healthy woman marrying into this mess. it would have to be someone very young and not very worldly.

    lol @ the comment about katie looking like michael jackson…omg lol i see that now!!! scary

    she may be in a win win situation money wise..supposedly…but as far as her soul, she has sold it to the $cientology devil who will see to it that she is completely fucked in the mind. if the time ever comes in which she chooses to leave, she wont know her left from her right up from down. i wont be surprised if she ends up in a mental institution at that point…hopefully her parents will help her pick up the pieces and put humpty back together again. they are going to need to use some of katies divorce settlement for de programming therapy and patience for a young woman who will be so shattered that she will need help from her mom taking care of the baby until she reaches a stable point in her recovery….
    losing a credit line for Barneys or personal integrity and freedom….i know which one i would choose.

    katie, better watch what youre telling your auditors, they are recording all of your personal shit and will use it against you.

    busy body, you are so right. She’s one lucky chick. With or without, she will never worry about money again. And she will switch back if she divorces. Religion that is, maybe sooner.

    Nicole managed to move on too. That crap about her soul does not wash, joining showbiz is selling your soul for fame in the first place. You do things you would never have done for money and fame.

    Abby, your ignorance is astounding, please try not to splash it all over the internet, it is better to keep mum and people think you are stupid than to open your mouth and confirm their suspicions. Let your obsession to hate Tomkat not turn you into a lunatic.

    Hey hey hey Fabiola, huh huh, you can’t hit me hard like that, have I met you before? Have a laugh chap.

    Never delude yourself! Money is every thing when you don’t have it. It makes the world go round.

    Like Ivanka Trump (Mazzuchelli or whatever her husband’s name is these days)says ‘money does not buy happiness, but it is very hard to be happy and poor’.

    I would switch with Katie Holmes any day, if Tom is gay, then I move to the other room, if he is not, he don’t look so bad, I would hit it.

    I wouldn’t say money is everything, but I would agree it does give you something less to worry about.

    But is Tom worth it – sorry. Because it’s not just him physically, it’s total control, over your actions, your whereabouts, your work, even your spirituality – this is a classic abuse situation, and money is just not enough of a compensation for the rape of your indiviuality.

    Does she look happy? Does he? Weird body language. Do Hef and the Playboy girls look happy? Yes they do – same monetary situation, but different emotionally.
