Katie Holmes’ Broadway Break

Katie Holmes’ Broadway Break

Katie Holmes dons her shades as she takes a break from a Broadway theater in New York City on Friday.

Kat, 29, will be making her Broadway debut in Arthur Miller’s play, All My Sons. She will play Ann Deever, a woman who visits the family of her former lover, a missing pilot.

In other news, TomKat is reportedly suing Petit Tresor, a baby boutique in Los Angeles for publicizing false shopping details of a $350,000 spending spree at the store. “Petite Tresor is trying to get publicity for themselves by telling the press that celebrities are shopping in their store when they’re not,” says a rep for the couple.

She looks SO miserable, and she´s sort of morphing into Tom Cruise.

poor hair!

Unlimited shopping was part of her contract. She probably spent more than what they reported, and rightfully she earned this with every awkward stupid wrist hold. When you marry for money you earn every dime, which is evident by the happiness she displays in most photos, these included.

I feel so sad for her…

Anyone think maybe she is just tired?

LOL @ #10 .. anyway, she seems so weird . . .

-Social Elitist

It’s so nice of her to let the beauty school students do experiments on her hair, but I just hope she can get it fixed by the curtain call!

Starrynites @ 05/23/2008 at 8:04 pm

So talent less Katie Holmes will star opposite the outstanding Oscar winner Dianne Wiest and Tony winner John Lithgow in a production of Arthur Miller’s ‘All My Sons’.?????

What a huge joke . . .

Does anyone remember her awful movie ‘Mad Money’, and how it fared so poorly at the US box office and how her dreadful performance was essentially panned by the critics.

It’s obivious she is being considered for roles (or getting them) because of her relationship to Tom Cruise, not because of any acting talent she possesses. She should be embarrassed to accept roles based merely on her marriage to Tom Cruise. What a creepy, pathetic woman. . .

What happened to her arm? Did she have a s troke?

In other news, TomKat is reportedly suing Petit Tresor, a baby boutique in Los Angeles for publicizing false shopping details of a $350,000 spending spree at the store. “Petite Tresor is trying to get publicity for themselves by telling the press that celebrities are shopping in their store when they’re not,” says a rep for the couple.

TOM IS SOOO LITIGIOUS DANG.. MANY BIG STARS JUST IGNORE **** LIKE THIS….

pr person @ 05/23/2008 at 8:17 pm

First of all…. the Cruisazies people read Life & Style (which is whom the comment was made to)? Be pretty funny if Petite Tresor pulled out the receipts for proof and told the Cruisazies to take their business elsewhere.

Awwwww… no smiles for the paps? Must not have been a regularly scheduled photo op.

Jared they are not suing them. A lawyer sent them a letter telling them to stop telling the media what they buy from the store, wether it is true or a lie. Because Petit Tresor keeps telling the media that celebrities buy things at their store that they didn’t buy or that they spend an amount that they didn’t even spend on merchandise.

Poor Katie looks pale and tired again. And of course, never smiling. Maybe she takes those lessons from Victoria “stone-faced” Beckham. I think poor Katie must be drinking some of Suri’s toxic formula, but all joking aside, she really looks miserable in every picture. What will it take to make her happy? Maybe Broadway will put some happiness back into her life. Who knows. She may do very well on stage, so let’s give her a chance.

tom cruise is gay @ 05/23/2008 at 8:38 pm

talentless ugly Tom Cruise’s beard, and boring.

Jarred what is wrong with you ??? They are not suing Petit t . !!! Why you are soo a liar about Tomkat ??????????? Live this family alone , please !

I am not here to make nasty comments about Holmes or Cruise. Everyone has right to express an opinion - bad or good. If it makes them feel good thrashing Holmes, make them sleep better tonight, and helps them with their self-esteem, then by all means go for it. Knock your self out with hate.

However, I do have a point to make, and solely about the theme on this thread - that is whether or not Petit Tresor has the right to publish what this couple bought, or did not buy, or how much they spent.

IMO, Petit Tresor has gone beyond propriety limits. I would not want Petit, any department or specialty store to make public on things I bought, did not buy or how much I spent. If I remember correctly, a bookstore can’t even make public what book I bought ! That holdings by the Court should prevent Petit from crossing over the line to protect my, yours or anyone’s privacy.

As to the Cruises, or Katie in particular, what she does in her private life or what her faith is, why she married Tom Cruise is really NONE OF MY BUSINESS !

She looks very sad. Hope she’s ok.

Go Home, your visits to New York are always a disaster, you will just make a fool of yourself again. Don’t be a jerk, just go back to LA,
get inseminated and go shopping. Have you completely lost your mind?

Cant wait for this Katie play….

Pretty girl even without makeup. Love her purse too.

Starrynites @ 05/23/2008 at 9:47 pm

I don’t believe it was that Petit Tresor publicized a shopping spree by Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise but the details that they spend $350,000.

The “average income” of the average working stiff in the US is around $46,242 a year. (That data comes from the U.S. Census Bureau). So, for people to realize K&T are spending that kind of money, at one time, on one little kid just sounds so self-absorbed and self-centered.

The economy is in the crapper and many people are out of work and there is Katie Holmes pampering this one child to the extreme. Gosh, $350,000 is more money than most people could dream about in a lifetime and here is this silly woman squander such a large amount of money on this one child while so many other children go without simple necessities ~ like food and medical care.

Who would want anyone to know you were so out of touch that you would buy an additional $350,000 worth of crap to add to your child’s already over-the-top mountain of things/stuff.

Get
a life
jealous ones.

Not liking this celebs but
all the staring and posting
on their threads is real
pathetic

i dont understand u people…when d stars get dressed or dolled up ull say theyr so full of themselves but wen dey go natural and less made up ull say dey should dressed up..in short ur a negative person nothing good to say..1 thing im sure of is ur lives are miserable,no money no luvlyf nd mybe no friends lol

CUTE ADORABLE LADY

Only the lowest common denominators read and believe tabloid crap.

Oh yay — when will Katie perform?

Katie will rock Broadway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Jared. She looks tired but still lovely.

Between Suri and rehearsals and performing 6 times a week
will be a challenge. Way to go,Katie.

big screen doesn’t like u….off to broadway!!!

Among the few who can pull off a natural beautiful look with no speck of make-up.

# 35 Katie did TV,movie and now broadway and more of the bigscreen for her. What did you do for the world and others?
insulting people you dont know is not community service or a testament to good family upbringing or church life about not juding others but letting God do it.

Also, Katie’s Mad Money DVD is selling superbly and soars at the rentals too. Read on CNN Money and MSNBC.

God bless her and Tom. She is so beautiful along with her daughter Suri.

Between Suri and rehearsals and performing 6 times a week
will be a challenge. Way to go,Katie.

————-

Especially if she is looking this tired not rehearsing or performing. she only has one child, and plenty of childcare help. Hope she is ok

Good to see her because I miss her,Tom and Suri.

alma mater @ 05/23/2008 at 10:20 pm

She’s trying to keep the low profile but watching the pics New Yorkers are staring at her and immediately recognize her. Thanks JJ for our Pretty Woman who will soon light up broadway.

Oh the agony of envy because this is such a prestigious Arthur Miller play. What a perfect cast this is.

I cant believe this chick is only a year and a half older than me. She looks really old, depressed, and so gloomy.

Run Katie! Make your escape…………

natural beauty? she looks horrible. the purse looks good.

Is she covering a black eye

NY hearts KATIE HOLMES

Regarding Petit Tresor. Why shop there TomKat? They always release information on purchases made by their celebrity clientale. Surely TomKat knew this going into the shop. And now he wants to sue?
I will give Mz. Holmes points for bravery. Her talent is no where near that of Lithgow, Wiest, and Patrick. The role of Ann is way beyond her meager acting talents.
Seems like she is morphing into Nicole. Tom turned Nicole into a fashion icon…now he is trying to do the same with Katie. Nicole did a play in London to rave reviews, now Katie is doing broadway. Tom called Nicole Nic, now he is calling Katie-Kate. The examples of are numerous.
Why does she put it up with it?

She strikes me as someone who is doing exactly what she wants to do. She got her millions now she wants to be a broadway star.
Who is morphing who, this is such a crazy pair, can’t tell either’s
real identity.

Starrynites - for your #13 post - I make no claim to be a Broadway critic, and don’t know if there is a significant correlation between box office hit and talent.

So I am asking you since you made those remarks. Here is my first question. Because Mad Money failed to be a BO hit, does it suggest that Holmes has no acting talent, and she alone carried the banner for its failure ? Or, are there any considerations ?

And finally, how is it obvious that Holmes only consideration for any project or film is her marriage to Cruise. Should a woman be limited to accept roles because of her marriage to Cruise. And for that you call her creepy and pathetic.

I am cognizant that you are expressing an opinion, however misplaced they are. Expressing you opinion is your right, and whether I like it or not, or however cruel or misplaced, they are duly protected.

We should be so proud as Americans - pettiness is so ingrained in our national character.

Just my opinion.

Katie looks down in the dumps because she’s reading all the unflattering comments about her Broadway debut. The producers and cast all know what kind of actress she is, they can read comments on this web and all the others that are already trashing her.
I feel sorry for all involved (except Katie) Let hope she quits while she’s ahead.

Starrynites - it has been published that Petit in several credible media outlet does release information on celebrity clients. At the very least, this is a propriety issue, and at worst illegal.

The issue raised by your post # 27 is sensitivity. The median annual income in the US is $46,242. Based on that premise, how dare the Cruises spend $350 K on a shopping spree for 1 child and in doing so they are viewed as self-absorbed and self-centered.

Valid criticism - to a point. One - but for Petit release of the money spent by the Cruise, no one would have known. Petit had no right to advertise that information to the press or to the public. The release of these information is problematic because it chipped away our privacy rights. Two - the Cruises’ are not the “average US family. They have an income to the gazillions. It is not our business to dictate what, where, and how, why, and how much they spend their income. There is no law that prohibits them to spend their money for their child.

As to the Cruises, they should have known better that the public will scrutinized every move they make, and that people like you will always have grudges, right or wrong to air. After all, critics like you will exercise to express an opinion, however misplaced.

I agree on the sensitivity issue, but not the release of these private information, and hence, there should be no issue at all.

Katie always looks like she spent 2 hrs playing dress up. Trying way to hard to be like Posh. It doesnt come off natural on katie.
Suri is a doll though.

They didn’t shop there, #51. That’s the thing.

Quit blaming him for everything. How did he turn Nicole Kidman into a fashion icon? And why is Katie Holmes copying his ex-wife just because she starred in a play a decade ago?

How exciting for Katie and they’re all busy. Connor is filming,more filming for Tom on Valkyrie and soon with Denzel Washington 28th Amendment film. Katie is the best.

She puts up with it, Dancer, because she’s paid millions each year to put up with it and be Tommy girls beard.

Her acting skills have never been anything impressive and this stint on B.way will prove she’s going nowhere fast.

wow. she looks miserable. she looks cute in her outfit but tht hair is awful. get it back into a bob…not your daughter’s haircut. im glad she’s doing something useful….acting but still, she looks really tireed.
p.s. i like her bag

I actually wish they were suing Petit Tresor. They are notorious for spread false information. I love how Joel Madden called them out on their bull ****. They also said that JLo did some ridiculous nursery with them. I have no doubt she would go overboard, but I doubt it would be with them.

She is our Generation’s JAckie O! So gorgeous! WOW! although she’s not trying to show off here.

boo(real) @ 05/24/2008 at 3:30 am

She IS NOT Jackie O!! Jackie was a ‘One of a Kind” and she is DEAD!! Katie looks like a walking CORPSE!!

mick & nikie @ 05/24/2008 at 3:54 am

lovely girl
Holds out and we one believes in you

I lOVE YOU

Every time we see her she looks more and more MISERABLE and has nearly no make-up on (even though she clearly is gorgeous without it …). I think she is probably coming to the realization that she is trapped in this weird, controlling marriage and is desperately wanting out. I feel sorry for her. She’s young and had no idea what mess she was getting into…

There difference between be sad and be tired . Katie didn’t look tired , sha look depressive!!

ANONYMOUS @ 05/24/2008 at 9:21 am

TOMMMYGIRL can’t even dress himself let alone dress anyone, d best we’ve seen him dress was during the NICOLE KIDMAN days since then not just his sense of style but his reputation has spiralled downwards and seriously his union with this chick only worsens his situation

LOL. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes deserve each other.
They both look pathetic.

God bless you,Katie. I will be watching.

Of course she is no JAckie. She is cute when she gets herself together. but her posture has never been elegant. Not even at her wedding day she stood up straight!
JAckie could bea wearing whatever and she had class and poise, that type of class that is rare to see in other woman. Grace Kelly had it, I cannot remember anyone right now of our times.

good for her and loving those purse.

oh please! @ 05/24/2008 at 12:00 pm

Get real! Neither Tom nor Katie have s.h.I.t for the world. Your comment about— “Katie doing tv, movies and now broadway…so what have you done for the world and others?”— was the dumbest thing I’ve read to date. How does bad acting actually compare to humanitarian works? For that matter since you through the question out there, why don’t you tell us just what you’ve done to help the “world and others”. Please tell us.

As for the comment on whether Katie was the sole reason ‘Mad Money’ failed, I’d say no but she was a deciding factor. It was a dumb movie with a very simple plot and while Keaton and Latifa did their job well it was Holmes the critics trounced. And before the Tomkatfreaks jump down my throught. Just google the d.a.m.n movie and read the critics’ words for yourself. Even Variety had nothing nice to say.

Point is Katie is a tv actress and that’s the venue she does best in. Like Aniston, Holmes is a one dimensional actress…incapable of any real diverse acting and to be honest she needs to go back to television were she will have more success.

She looks like she’s turning into The Fly

Jackie O. had beauty, class and intelligence, this KH lacks it all especially intelliegence just like her HS drop out BF TC.
Filthy rich, but not too bright. Why does she keep making a fool of
herself.

I heard TC bought KH a few lines in the play as a way to get rid of her
and that he plans to leave her here so he can rebuild (or try to)
his life.
Is this true?

Raider fan @ 05/24/2008 at 4:01 pm

So tommy let his stepford wife out to do Broadway? LOL! I wonder how much he had to pay to get her into the show. This poor girl has zero talent.

@ 63- SHE IS OUR GENERATION’S JACKIE O! IF NATALIE PORTSHIT IS SUPPOSEDLY OUR GENERATION’S AUDREY (GASP) EVEN THOUGH SHE LOOKS LIKE A TROLL AND CAN’T ACT HER WAY OUT OF A PAPERBAG, THEN KATIE THE BEAUTIFUL IS JACKIE O! AND JULIE, CALM DOWN, YOU NEVER ACTUALLY BELIEVED THAT TOM CRUISE WOULD MARRY YOU NOW DID YOU LOL

Katie is adorable. Not familiar with this play but exciting nonetheless.

Why is KH Jackie O? Because she wears Jackie O style glasses? I can’t see the analogy. Jackie O was from a blue blooded family, well bred, intelligent, elegant, a first lady, a great mother, well read, and greatly admired and respected. KH is none of this. Perhaps she is admired for marrying TC by you. To me she should stay in TV land. But frankly, even there she is quite limited.

NP is no Audrey Hepburn also.

what is adorable about KH? and what is exciting about this play?
nothing, nothing. KH go HOLME.

What happened to her? She looks hideous.

Here we go again. The sad and lost look she always puts on when she’s not with Tom. When she’s with him she shows her true colors and has that arrogant smirk or awful smile.

This lost puppy look had me fooled at first, but after seeing tons of photos together with the cult PR creep she’s married to I have noticed a pattern. She never has the sad and lost look when she’s with Tom. She is a cold, manipulative and superficial woman who does everything for PR. After all, that’s why she married the cult creep in the first place. There is nothing spontaneous or genuine about her.

The sad and lost look can’t be switched on and off at will unless it is fake. She only uses it when she wants sympathy and attention. When she’s with Tom she NEVER has that look so don’t be fooled folks! She’s happy with crazy Tom and her life! No sad puppy there, just a money-hungry, hard and cold woman who lets her child be brainwashed.

She is truly revolting. I do hope more and more people see through her act, and it seems they do.

Where do you ‘hear’ these crazy things, #75?

I find it strange how you conveniently miss all of the smiling and happy pics of her without her husband and then offer a ridiculous explanation for pics like these when she could be simply annoyed at the paparazzi or something completely unrelated to her husband, Emma. There is no pattern you idiot. It’s all in your head.

She’s my favorite actress.

Julie, read the play, then you tell me what is so exciting about the play. Arthur Miller is one of the great American writers (are you an American? I thought all American were familiar with the ex husband of Marylin Monroe!). It is about a family grief waiting and hoping their son coming from war….I don’t want to write a spoiler here…Your fellow citizens are still in Iraq, fighting useless war…may be the play is the right thing to understand the feeling of many parents, brothers, sisters…

And somebody like KH plays in this play?! Isn’t it a waste? From a person from an organization which cares only about money?! From a person who acted so lousily that gained an award as a worst supporting actress in a film?

I don’t envy KH. I am in grief for Arthur Miller.

OMG i feel sooo sorry for her kid - she’s been brainwashed and she looks like a mess - i remember when she used to look normal in the ‘dawson’ days…

Solaris, what I meant was what is so exciting about KH performing IN the play, not to criticize the play, you are right. She is a misfit so wrongly cast, her BF must have bought her the part. It is a dishonor to the play.

I agree 100% with Emma, KH is manipulative & cold. She puts on the makeupless poor me look, then comes out all spray tanned and pancaked up with her vapid look and nauseating smirk looking ugly.
She is one calculating *****, we see right through her.

American, TC wants to dump her in NY for all the above reasons. For damage control, he is no bargain either they are detrimental to eachother because they are one of a kind.

Most of us see through her act, she puts on the poor me look and then comes out spray tanned, pancaked with gross makeup with her sickening smirk. She is manipulative, cold and as materialistic as they come.
TC is dumping her for the above reasons, they are two of a kind, and as his GF she’s detrimental to his image. He needs damage control so she’s gotta go. How many “marathons” can she fool the public with. She’s done.
No disrespect meant to the play, I meant to say, how is she exciting
In the play, she is a disgrace to the play, TC must have paid big bucks for her lines and to get her out of LA.

I don’t appreciate being called an idiot, especially not by a scientologist . That’s the pot calling the cettle black.

The idiots aren’t the ones questioning this fake, cold and superficial b**ch, who doesn’t ever do anything but shop. Does she have any genuine interests at all, or is it all about spending money and make PR for the cult?

She is putting on a fake facade, trying to be mysterious and fragile. She is anything but mysterious and fragile. She is cold, shallow and manipulative. That’s my opinion, and I’m entitled to it just as you scientology freaks are entitled to believe she is genuine and sincere.

She married for money and fame. It backfired. She is seen as a freak, a brainwashed Stepford wife, and all she’s known for are her weird hairdos, crazy shopping habits, ugly teeth, anorexic body, and the arrogant smirks she puts on when she’s with her crazy husband.

She lets their child be brainwashed by the Cult of Scientology, she is a major flop professionally, and she has lost all her looks, which was all she had to begin with. What an accomplishment. lol

When is the venue and schedule? Its good that actions on stores and tabloids are done because their wrongful acts and lies are not acceptable.

Apparently she doesn’t realize how stupid she looks with those ugly sunglasses on..ha ha ha’

Yeah, she’s trying to put on her poor little pitiful me face…she’s such a pathetic excuse for an actress she can’t even pull that off.

Arthur Miller is turning over in his grave. What a slap in the face to a brilliant writer to have a big no-talent, nobody in one of his plays. She’s only in there because Tom bought her the part to get her the hell out of his life in LA or because she’s ******** somebody that knows the casting director. Poor Arthur Miller. He would shoot himself if he were alive.

Emma #89, I agree with everything you said. I think you’ve got this golddigger figured out!

You’re not making any sense, #88. If she’s just PRETENDING to be unhappy, then is her husband actually not controlling and terrible to her? And where did you hear that they’re breaking up.

I’m not a Scientologist, Emma and I think you know that. You have no idea of how she is so where do you get off calling her those awful things? She’s free to spend her momeny as she pleases and does ocassionally contribute to charity which you don’t even care about since you’re a self-righteous hypocrite

#94, “American”…..we know that you are a scientologist so why do you try to hide it? Are you ashamed of being a scientologist? Do they (COS) believe that the only thing you are good for is to patrol this board and defend the beard? How sad….

Congratulations Katie. The main attraction for me is Holmes
and also Patrick Wilson. Thanks a lot,JJ.

No, I don’t know that at all “American Scientologist”. I’m convinced that you are a scientologist. You are working for a fascistic cult, and lie about it. You have an agenda here, and people here see that. Since you cult people are so far removed from reality you have a hard time understanding how transparent you really look.

I detest hypocrisy and greed and that is exactly what she and her commercial cult stand for. I’ll repeat what I wrote about her;

I don’t appreciate being called an idiot, especially not by a scientologist . That’s the pot calling the kettle black.

The idiots aren’t the ones questioning this fake, cold and superficial b**ch, who doesn’t ever do anything but shop. Does she have any genuine interests at all, or is it all about spending money and making PR for the cult?

She is putting on a fake facade, trying to be mysterious and fragile. She is anything but mysterious and fragile. She is cold, shallow and manipulative. That’s my opinion, and I’m entitled to it just as you scientology freaks are entitled to believe she is genuine and sincere.

She married for money and fame. It backfired. She is seen as a freak, a brainwashed Stepford wife, and all she’s known for are her weird hairdos, crazy shopping habits, ugly teeth, anorexic body, and the arrogant smirks she puts on when she’s with her crazy husband.

She lets their child be brainwashed by the Cult of Scientology, she is a major flop professionally, and she has lost all her looks, which was all she had to begin with. What an accomplishment. lol

I think it’s really silly how you think nyone that defends the couple is a Scientologist.

You really need to stop talking like you actually know me or Katie Holmes since there’s no way you could be sure about all that crap you’re spouting without even meeting us

Totally off the wall. Even if she bought Suri a $5000 dress, she’d have to buy Suri 70 such dresses to spend that much. Even Katie isn’t that crazy.

Of course, if she could spend $2 million on a wedding dress… I mean hey, you never know…

I just realized who she reminds me of with that haircut. She looks just like that anorexic bítch Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine.

Damn,that Tom is a lucky guy!

Thank you Jared and please keep up with more Tom,Katie and Suri threads and photos.

Julie, understood!

And Emma, Yay for you, Girl!
