So, Tom and Katie are still
the big news, bumping Lindsay Lohan from the tabloids, which you know she ain’t
liking at all. Meh. Poor LOLhan.
And while there is still a
lot of mock shock over the end of the Cruises, the signs seemed to be
everywhere.
First, Katie didn’t go with
Tommy to the premiere of his latest flop, “Rock of Ages” and do all that
smarmy, ooh we’re so in love shtick
that they used to do so well. The “official” excuse was that Katie was in China,
um, working, which is Scientology code for This
things gonna blow!
And then Tommy was in NYC
shooting scenes for his next d-i-saster, “Oblivion”, and yet miraculously there
were no shots at all of the, er, happy couple in La Grande Apple. And while he
was in New York, Tommy not only stayed at a hotel—rather than at home with the
missus—but he never even bothered to visit their apartment.
It does appear that Katie brought
Suri to the hotel to see Daddy, but the visits weren’t planned and Tommy’s
security brigade wasn’t even informed that their master would be receiving
guests.
But here are some updates—and then we’ll end with a blind
item that may be Cruise-worthy….
First, it appears that Katie stopped enjoying being
controlled by Tommy. See, rumor has it
that after Katie nailed the audition to be Tommy’s wife—beating out Scarlett
Johannson in the process—Tom instantly began controlling everything did or
said, and everywhere she went.
He is rumored to have had something called “Art Kill” which
he used when Katie was promoting Thank You For Smoking back
in 2005; his “Art Kill” basically allowed him to stop producers from using any
images of Katie being romantic or sexy with Aaron Eckhart. And his “Art Kill” was used to keep Katie from
flying around the world with the cast and crew of Batman Begins and instead she was
flown around in Tommy’s private jet, with the hidden cameras and microphones.
And so, Katie reportedly stopped communicating with their
mutual friends, and even went so far as to get a new cell phone that she used
to talk to her family and friends only. Then came the whole deal with that
apartment. She seems to have done that all on her own, as thought she was planning
an escape. Which leads to me to this….
I ain’t saying she was an abused spouse, but her actions certainly
do fall along those lines of a woman in an abusive relationship planning on how
to escape the marriage.
I mean, she waits until the Little Man is in Iceland….Iceland…before she files her papers,
which she does with the help of her attorney father. Then she has her father
come out and fire all her bodyguards so no one will know where she went and
what she did.
At least until the story broke.
Now, I’m not saying she was abused, but I think she was
controlled beyond words and finally had enough. So, I say, good for her.
And good for her for doing to Tommy exactly what he did to
my BFF Nicky Kidman.
Now, as for the divorce.
It is believed that Tom will file his own divorce papers in
California and ask for joint custody as opposed to the sole legal custody
that the former Kate Cruise, now Katie again, had requested. And while some
said Katie would use Scientology as an excuse to be granted custody, most
lawyers say that really isn’t a valid argument.
Still, there is rumor that Katie doesn’t really need to use Scientology as the basis or reasoning to get sole
custody which makes it seem like her lawyers can otherwise
prove that Tom is unfit to raise Suri—see blind item.
Katie will be at a family law courthouse this month for her
first divorce hearing,
and will “formally request temporary child support” from Tom Cruise to cover living expenses and the added security she has hired since her split. Tommy’s New York lawyer will appear, though it’s unclear if Tommy will make an appearance—unless
they tell him it’s a scene from a movie. His lawyer could also petition the judge for a temporary visitation order at that
time.
But, what is new
and kinda funny, is that, for now, Tommy cannot legally file
for divorce in California because “it is
not possible to file in separate states at the same time” which means Katie got
a big time jump on him. Tom will have no choice but to fight this
thing in NYC.
So it seems as if Katie clearly has the upper hand in the proceedings at this point and that is probably driving Control
Freak Tommy insane!
Love it.
I also loves me
some Diana Ross.
And I’m loving her even
more now that I heard this story.
See, Tyler Perry,
Friend of Dorothy, er, Oprah, has made no bones about wanting Miss Ross to be
in one of his movies. I saw him on ET once whining about
how he’s tried to get in contact with her and she won’t take his calls. And how
he wants so badly to make a movie with Miss Ross.
But she ain’t
having it, and here’s why:
Diana.Ross.Is.Not.One.Of.His.Fans.
In fact, she kinda loathes him, and considers
his “Madea” money making machine “lowbrow” and has flatly refused repeated
requests to co-star with Perry in anything because she regards his body of work
as too lowbrow, say insiders.
A source—and it might be Mary Wilson
because she ain’t got nothin’ else goin’ on—says, “Diana feels Tyler’s movies,
TV shows and especially his main character ‘Madea’ have no substance [and] “she
refuses to even discuss the prospect with him.”
And it seems that Miss Perry is just devastated
that Miss Ross has diva slapped him like that. He whimpers, “She’s the only
person that I have dreamed of working with that will not return my phone
calls.”
And what hurt worse than a phone snub
was the knowledge that the Motown icon thinks his plays, movies and TV shows
exploit African-American stereotypes: “Diana is all about her entertainment
legacy,” the insider—Hey Mary!--explained. “The last thing she wants is to
co-star in a cheesy comedy starring a black man in a fat suit playing a
half-cocked, angry old woman waving a gun.”
And I love her all the more for that!
Oh well, no Lohan, but I have
some Kash Kow. Kardashian, that is.
Earlier this week, everyone was
talking about the BET Awards, with Kim Kardashian,
Kanye West Kardashian, Jay-Z and Beyonce all in attendance, but Beyonce keeping
her distance from the famewhore and throwing dirty looks at the Kash Kow all
night.
According to sources—and it’s
probably Kris Jenner, who thinks any publicity is good publicity—says Beyonce
barely even glanced at Kim during the show and Jay-Z even iced Kim a bit. Still,
rumor has it that Kash Kow and Beyonce did pose for some pictures backstage,
perhaps just to appease Kanye and keep him from jumpin’ onstage and acting the
fool.
Again.
But, then we have this:
Kash Kow is so desperate
to become BFFs with Beyonce that she’s trying to spoil baby Blue Ivy to get in
Jayonce’s good graces. Kash Kow actually bought a $5000 diamond-studded baby bracelet and had it engraved “Love
Auntie Kim.”
A source—Hey Kris!—says Beyonce
is suspicious that Kim is trying to buy her friendship: “They have been friends
for five minutes, but already Kim is trying to force herself into Beyonce’s
life. She thought [the bracelet] was over the top, considering she’s known Kim
personally for such a short time. Despite Kim’s sex tape and bad marriages,
Beyonce had been warming to her based on her charming demeanor and romance with
Kanye, who’s a good friend. But she certainly doesn’t consider Kim family in
any way, shape or form. And for Kim to suggest that closeness in a present for
Blue Ivy really put Beyonce off. She believes Kim is trying to buy her
friendship through her daughter, and she’s cooling to their friendship. Right
now, Beyonce is on her guard. She’s keeping her distance until she feels more
trusting of Kim.”
Poor
Kash Kow, she’s so used to buying things, like fame via a sex tape, like a TV
via a sex tape, like a marriage via a TV show, and a divorce to follow suit,
all topped off with a very high-profile romance with a very high profile
douche.
I wouldn’t put it past her to
buy baby gifts and call herself Auntie Kim. She’s probably doing it to get
Jayonce on her TV show.
After all, isn’t it always about
the Kash Kow?
And speaking of the Kash Kow,
what about her soon-to-be ex, Kris Humphries?
I mean, he isn’t really news, he’s
more like the annoying neighbor on a 70s sitcom, but there does seem to be some
news.
As you already know, Kris is in
the midst of a drawn-out process of divorcing Kash Kow—and it’s
lasting longer than the marriage—and he’s been playing the part of the heartbroken ex who was so in love with his meal ticket,
and how she broke him top pieces when she ditched him.
To complete his makeover as Poor
Kris, he has been keeping real low-key about his dating so that he can seem sad
and lonely, instead of sad and pitiful. But he kinda latched onto another
famewhore who might give Kash Kow a run for her money.
This woman, Myla Sinanaj says
she and Kris were dating, and Kris’ lawyer says they weren’t. But Myla has
pictures, of course, of the duo at the beach together and of her courtside at
his games; all the perfect evidence of a relationship, no? No.
Kris claimed that Myla was
trying to extort him, and he ALLEGEDLY
got the FBI involved and then Myla claimed that Kris’ lawyer had tried to
intimidate her and get her fired by calling her job and claiming she was a
prostitute.
Yikes.
But now, Myla The Prostitute
says she’s pregnant, and Krissy is her baby Daddy.
Sources directly connected with
Myla—AKA her pimp—says Myla has confirmed that she’s 3 months pregnant and says
Kris is definitely the father.
And this won’t sit well in court
when Kris tries to play the damaged party in his divorce from the Kash Kow.
Poor Kris, He’s as dumb as a box
of rocks. Had he put a glove on it, he wouldn’t in this mess.
Of course, if he hadn’t put a
ring on the last one we wouldn’t even know his name.
Looks like we will no longer have to buy Free Katie t-shirts.
ReplyDeleteExerting such relentless control over someone IS a form of abuse, in my opinion. The more I read about Scientology, the more I realize just how fucked up it is. I applaud Katie for getting herself and her daughter away from its sphere of influence.
ReplyDeletei'm going to echo what beth said- extreme measures of control in a relationship are most definitely a form of abuse.
ReplyDeletexxalainaxx
I always thought Scientology was a cult, and those vehicles that followed Katie after her announcement only proves it.
ReplyDeleteOK, here's the skinny from a Toledo connection, whose mother is a long time friend with Katie's parents. Katie's parents had a major falling out with Katie when she brought Tom Cruise home to meet them because both of Katie's parents were alarmed over the amount control that he was trying to exercise over her at that point. Tom and Katie father had "words" and Tommy shut down communication between Katie and her father. FOR THEIR part, her parents played this very cool because Katie's father has seen too many of these types of these "flame out" relationships start full-on and then, like a rocket, peter-out when the passion subsided. Her parents also did their best to make time for Katie whenever possible, and making sure that she remembered that they were her safe haven should anything ever come up and they loved her more than they could ever love Cruise and his cache.
ReplyDeleteEvidently it worked, as Katie Holmes did the smart thing and left the Hollywood orbit and made a beeline for a major city when Scientology doesn't have the pull that it does AND is seen as a cult of cuckoo's instead of a valid religion.
My sources also tell me that the major rags and gossip sheets are besides themselves because she is not talking and she is not seeking any first rights from them for her story. Again, she is trying to keep her and her daughter from being item one on the "poor me" list, and this lends her case the gravitas that her "team" feels shows respect for the court. And as we know, any divorce is part pleading your case, and part playing all the trump cards that you have got.
Katie, according to ANOTHER source in the divorce industry, was also smart enough not to try the divorce is Lucas County, Ohio (or close by) because she didn't want to turn it and/or daughter into front page news, or give Tom additional superstar press coverage. In Toledo, he'd be all over the front page of The Blade. In Manhattan, he's just a schmuck from California.
I hated what Tom did to Nicole Kidman and how he basically erased her children from her life. It is plain weird. You never, EVER see those kids with Nicole. She marries Keith Urban, has a baby and adopts another and it's almost like her previous children don't even exist. Tommy is one weird cat. And BTW, I saw Rock of Ages and it sucked. I almost asked for my money back it was that bad.
ReplyDeleteTom needs to be married. I don't know what it is but he was looking for a wife and he "picked" Katie Holmes who I think is absolutely adorable/beautiful and I'd kill for her body. Then she gets knocked up like in a hot minute and then bing, bang, boom they're married. I am fairly certain she doesn't want her little girl brought up in that Scientology thing and this is one of the main reasons she wants out. She still so young. I hope Tom isn't a dick and just makes it easy and lets her go, but he's so litigious that I doubt that. He's reputation is kinda really screwed now because everyone things he's riding the crazy train anyway. *sigh* I wish Katie nothing but PEACE.
love Diana for standing her ground
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad Katie escaped and rescued her daughter from that dangerous cult and controlling Little Man.
ReplyDeleteI think I have a hard time wrapping my head around this whole thing. No one knows what goes on behind closed doors and she is being very smart about his to protect her daughter. Still, crazy shit though. Makes me appreciate my boring life.
