Katie Holmes Hits Up “August: Osage County”
Katie Holmes stops in to see a performance of August: Osage County, the Broadway transfer of the hit play by Tracy Letts from Steppenwolf Theatre in New York City on Tuesday night.
The 29-year-old actress rocked out a pair of brown five-strap shoes but strangely enough had bruises all over her knees.
August: Osage County is about a vanished father, a pill-popping mother and three sisters harboring shady little secrets. For more info, visit AugustOnBroadway.com.
WHY DO YOU THINK Katie Holmes has so many black-and-blues on her knees???

i have to admit her hair looks a smidge better.. but the knobby banged up knees kinda ruins the whole ensemble.. she just can’t win for nuthin.
Very cool heels, romanesque straps are gorgeous! Maybe the bruises are from crawling around playing with Suri :)

Tom be whooping her ass….She could have put makeup on that
I just threw up in my mouth, yuk!!
Maybe she bruises easily…. I can’t bump into furniture without getting huge bruises =/
She looks waaaay better than she did in her last post, happier. Her mood swings confuse me, lol.
Cute dress.
CREEPIEST FAMILY EVER, even the child. THE CHILD!
Like the shoes but not with that dress.
Those bruises are probably from her dance rehearsals. Her pigeon-toed-ness must mess up her dances pretty severely. And what’s with the navy blue attire all the time?? That’s such a gloomy and manly color.
Maybe Tom likes to do it standing up, face to face.
Which means Katie would have to be on her knees.
Dress doesn’t fit her. Looks too lose. Knees ruin the look. Maybe she is crawling around the stage for her part? And she needs a pedicure.
the jeans decided to fight back!
i love the heels . katie is the best dressed in hollywood. gorgeous
i hope she is pregnant. a lil sis or brother for cute suri will be nice
OMG !!! wait…Is she smiling ?
For a woman who gives every indication of being a victim of an abusive relationship, changing her whole personality, look, belief system and demeanor since hooking up with Tom, she should probably not walk about with visible bruises unless she wants to start an awful rumor.
Maybe now we have the answer as to why the long sleeves and sweaters in August in NYC.
lookin good katie. love the heels
nossa ! eu acho ela lindaa ! =)

No, I think it’s from crawling around playing with Tom..lol
“Like the shoes but not with that dress.”
Or with those feet.
Fashion icon? fashion nightmare ! How can she wear this surgical scrub charcoal grey thing (dress?) with S&M brown sandals with such ugly feet? So now she’s smiling? What about, I thought that smirk was just for her contract holder.
hotness….Katie is probably anemic. Im the same way so a little bump causes bruises right away.
Pretty woman
Thanks Jared
Katie is adorable
Far better actress and better to look at than GYllenhaal in Batman….
I heart her!!!!! She really reminds me of Jackie Kennedy!!!
honestly, she looks worn out when she takes those sunglasses she wear day and night out.
@the shiznack — brilliant
what do i think about her bruises on her knees? i think she has children. i think she’s a busy mom who works and chases her kids around and probably bumps into things. are you serious with these questions? c’mon! don’t be like tmz.
“Chases her kids around?” Please. And last time I checked, Katie had ONE child, not plural.
Maybe she’s always on her knees apologizing to scientology for being a terrible actress?
Don’t forget Tom, Sue!
The real American beauty!
I think she is deliberately displaying those bruises to the public. Her dress looks like that of an inmate, her sandals look like someone in bondagel. I think kh is sending out a message that she is finished with LA, she is staying in NYC and going to look mighty funky. She is a total mess psychologically, it’s so cool and she fits right in.
Maybe she smacked herself to send us a message “I am hurt and I LOVE it”.
I like the cry for help theory, gay pride. It works for me.
Maybe Katie is starting to realize she is expendable, just like others in Tom’s life. It would be cool if she were that crafty to try to outsmart him and get the public on her side first. Unfortunately those dark glasses block the bright lights from the outside only. Inside the head, it is very dim.
Chases her kids around? Does she have to put down her cell phone to do that, because I’m not sure it’s in the contract…
Those bruises don’t follow any pattern that makes sense, they are separate bruises that look intentional. It’s not anemia, I don’t think tc hit her (he has other tactics to hurt her), not from a fall, certainly not from housework.
I think she did it to herself because she is a nut case, she needs HELP. She certainly fits right into NYC and her neighborhood, there are many fine mental health clinics nearby. KH is showing her real self more every day, no sweet innocent gal from Ohio, she is way out there.
blah
she’s boring.
tom makes her get on her knees when he smacks her around
What happened?
Is she sewing her own clothes?
G’luck in Broadway,Katie. She is so pretty and so is this new look of hers. Will the photogs ever leave her alone?
She is beautiful
even without a smidge
of makeup on
WOW
Gee whiz, dark glass at night. maybe she’s hiding a bruised eyes.
Pathetic family!
Overrated, boring & a big media who=res this Cruise family. hate them
ok. it’s obviously because the man is abusing her. what other reason could there possibly be for her covering herself up all the freaking time. long baggy jeans and SWEATERS in the heat of manhattan ALL SUMMER?
strange things are afoot at the circle k.
katie is so elegant. she is in a class of her own. but where is lil suri. she is so adorable. she brightens up my day. love TomKat
Tommy was probably beating her and since he only comes up to her knees when he stands, that’s probably where all his punches landed. Little guy.
Those bruises are from all the prayer to the all great and powerful Xenu.
So pretty and its good she is making the most of her stay in NY enjoying all this amazing shows mixing work and some play for her before performing herself. Hope to see Tom and the kids soon.
Jared how come you didnt show Tom with Bella at the Redskins game and soccer games?

—————————————–
you need medication. you are not right in the head.
Lady Katie is always a pleasure!!! Those bruises are natural for athletic people like Katie.
Something’s wrong here: It’s like she’s using the shoes as an attention magnet…as if she WANTS the bruises to be seen and cause speculation. Could that explain the smirk? For someone who should be gossip saavy, this seems like the one time all summer she’d cover up–if they’re only from rehersal, or a weird fall–to avoid awfully wrong rumors. Unless she’s desperate…
Mickey you are so wrong for that! HAHAHAHA!!
If Tom did hit her with a bat on the knees or something, he sure the hell is gonna give it to her when she get home for displaying her bruises for the world to see. However, I hope that is not the case but I will say with Tom trying to revive his image these photos sure don’t help.
USweakly Magazine next issue “Katie Holmes Silent Cry For Help From Tom’s Abuse.”
Here’s another theory maybe Tom flipped her out of the bed by accident while they were having vigorous sex and she hit her knee on the bed post and bruised her other leg when she landed on it. Because you know their bad probably sits up high, gotta make Tommy feel like he’s the man you know!
Anything is possible.
Freakin’ gross #55!!!
Block it out! Block it out! White sandy beaches and palm trees…..
Tom likes boys. Get real.
Does “rocking out” infer that Katies shoe choice doesn’t match the color, silhouette, or style of her dress?
If so, she is rocking out those shoes, LMAO
Juts because she’s smile-less in pics now and then it doesn’t mean she has mood swings, #6
Is there anything about Holmes you can’t NOT criticize for just once, #9 and #11. (Esp. #9). You’re not perfect. She has no control over how she looks and it’s a stupid color she likes.
Yes, #15. Like in most pics.
She doesn’t give a damn about nit-picking gossips with too much time on their hands spreading rumors about her, #16.
You’re idiots, #34, and #35. That’s the only explanation why you would entertain such crazy theories.
I swear if we put nit-picking nuts like #36 to find Osama Bin Laden rather than criticize TomKat…
Fashion, #46? Now Cruise is a wife beater. (chuckles) What WILL they think up…next?
Shut up, Jefferson.
If you can spot idiots so easily go look in the mirror.
This only means she’s got nothing to hide and she is living her own life not caring what some lowlife unhappy twits say. WTG Katie and looking good girl. God bless this family.
Yeah, shut-up Jefferson.
she looks so gorgeous and happy
not a fan of the shoes but it looks hot
and sexy on her
Y’all need to stop offering ‘God Bless This Family’ because … newsflash … they don’t believe in God.
SHE LOOKS UGLY AND OLD!!!
WHAT HAPPENED TO HER!
SHE LOOKS LIKE A DEAD MAN!
To those who tell me to shut up - it just makes me work harder to right the wrongs against my family err I mean the Cruise family.
They need me and I need them.
I can help them, just as soon as I take some more medication and feed my cats.
My apartment is starting to smell a bit but I know as sson as I meet Katie she’ll take at least 10 cats for Suri.
Suri is obviously an animal lover and will take care of them for me.
Please understand we were all meant to be together.
Tom Katie Suri the cult members and me - just one happy normal everyday group of people.
Hey everyone, check out the video I made especially for Katie.
Do you think she’ll like it?

Gosh,
What happen to my IDOL. Is she really hurts?
love her shoes & love her <3
So after McLovin, Washington, Lincoln, now Truman is Jefferson. You know what? changing your name as you do makes me think that you have a personnality problem. And so your posts too. You never give an opinion. You just try to slap on the face of the others by telling them that they are wrong. Their speculations are as good as yours and wrong as yours. Don’t pretend that you are close to the Cruise family, ’cause you’re not, and they don’t care about you just as they don’t care about each single person opinion who write here. When it’s on Cruises post you defend them but on some other post it can be all the different.
Honestly they don’t need your help. You need psychiatric help ’cause you seem to be a psycothic person. Now shut up. Everyone can give a comment as right or wrong it could be. Every comments here are speculations including what you write.
I am just tired of seeing her every day. I think she and Tom are weird. Whatever.
sumfink is off about dis cutlet, she looks DERTANGED n she’s starting to act like one, cos everey normal person in d HEAD always cover up every slight bruise wen dey’ve got one cos it’s embarrasing n u don’t want pple seeing dem n if anyone will see dem it’ll be in the corners of ur home with ur closest family but she decides to bring hers to public 4 strangers to see!!!! talk about MAYJOR NUTCASE either dat or since she n hubby are desperate 4 any kind of PUBLICITY n obviously d media will be talking about this in days to come
she looks kinda cute…but the dress makes her look flat- chested and tht doesnt make her look too good. strange about the bruises but overall, she looks happy. people should just leave it to tht.
She obviously had her spider veins injected with a sclerosing solution that causes them to collapse and become reabsorbed by one’s body. No celeb wants unsightly spider veins on their legs, right?
Bruises. . . could Suri be a handful?!?!?!?
So she wears jeans in the heat of day, but a short dress to show off her ugly, bruised knees at night, when it’s cooler temps? And she goes to a very public event like this, where the paparazzi have been waiting for her before?
A couple of nights ago it was a full tuxedo suit. The dresses she has worn in her “parade of frightful fashion” have been maxi length or knee-covering. Why, with those unsightly marks on her body, does she only NOW choose a short dress?
She is a FUH-reak.
If you’ve ever been in rehearsals for a play, you know that it is normal to become very exhausted and covered with bruises. During rehearsals, actors are very physical while trying to find the right movements to use througout the play, plus they often use wooden crates and boxes to stand in for scenery that is being built elsewhere. I also think the rolled-up, baggy jeans must’ve had something to do with rehearsals for her play and needing to wear loose-fitting clothes to be able to move freely while “blocking” and trying out staging ideas in the rehearsal room.
And to Truman, Jefferson, whoever you are this week…
Tom Cruise is currently on his third marriage. Mimi Rogers claims he never wanted sex. He divorced her when he became involved with his younger co-star, Kidman. He divorced Kidman, who was pregnant and miscarried at the time, and gave this cryptic reason on the record to reporters: “Nic knows what she did.” He finagled the date of filing so as to beat the California ten year marriage ruling, thus limiting the divorce settlement she could receive. He was involved with his co-star Penelope Cruz at the time. Every single person who gets close to him in his life is forced to sign contracts of confidentiality. With two weeks of meeting him, Katie Holmes mysteriously decided to fire every single member of her personal team, people who had been with her from day one of her career. She was assigned a Scientology handler who was that from that day forward a constant presence when Tom Cruise was not with her.
Is this guy a potential abuser? Who knows? But one thing he is most definitely not is some shining example of a man who is known for stable, normal relationships.
HAh! That’s such b*llsh*t, Iowa. Try again.
To all the cruise haters
They are NOT part of a cult
If they are - prove it
Katie had matured - she is NOT depressed
If she is - prove it
I am NOT a crazy celebrity stalker
If I am - prove it
Why don’t YOU shut up for once, #58 and #61.
Yes they do, #64.
I only change my names so much because people keep mimicking me, #70.
I give my opinion all the time. You can tell by me prefacing my opinions properly unlike critics which is why I always ask them to prove their accusations or shut up.
I’ve NEVER pretended I was close to the family. You guys have though and I simply call you out on it.
He divorced Kidman after the ten year mark, #78. (And you can’t rag on him for waiting or not waiting to divorce someone he no longer loves no matter how pregnant she is. As if it was his fault she miscarried.)
How do you know about these contracts? I’ve never heard of this.
Holmes has no Scientology handler.
If you’re trying to discourage me by telling me how Cruise is no saint, I KNOW THAT! But I won’t stop so give it up. It’s not my business who he falls for and who he breaks up with. And all those women only ever say nice things about him (unless Scientolgy is blackmailing them…)
Get a life, #80
Please excuse my son. He hasn’t been taking his meds.
love Katie’s smile. Pretty girl.
forget the black and blue! Did you see that size of those ankles and those knobby knees??? holy molly. Ugly.
gorgeous
I’m sure that dress cost a fortune, but it is HORRID.
I wonder if her bodyguard/minder has a ticket and sits next to her during the play?
sexy mama
I pray for trolls to have a happy life and real perspective on what they want. Find God or something to give to your lives other than patrolling boards crying for attention and help.
From the date of her first public outing with Cruise to the day of their marriage, Katie Holmes had a Scientology-assigned handler/minder named Jessica Rodriguez.
Having completed the cult’s “False Purpose Rundown,” Rodriguez was granted the ability to identify any suppressive persons, like skeptics–even if friends or family–who interact with Holmes. I believe Rodriquez parents were high up in the organization and maybe even got indicted on some federal charges at one point.
Katie was not allowed anywhere without her. Jessica even took it upon herself to answer questiuons put out by reporters or stop interviews she didn’t like. ‘Tis the same period of time Katie coincidentally fell out of touch with all her old friends. Every single one.
Once again, Truman Jefferson Clinton, you are one hundred percent wrong.
One every production that Tom Cruise is involved on set, every cast and crew member must sign contracts of confidentiality. Same for his bride now. I’m sure that went over well with her esteemed Broadway co-stars.
Once again, Truman Jefferson Clinton, you are misinformed. In other words wrong.
She is talented and so adorable onscreen and offscreen.
I could really care less how she got the bruises. I bruise easily myself, so to predict Katie’s is a waste of time, and would be wrong, since none of us obviously was there when it happened. Katie looks good, and is appearing to have a good time when not in rehearsals. Good for her !! AND for the bruises, she obviously is NOT concerned herself about them, or is NOT concerned about rumors, or she would have worn pants..
Oh crap.. tomorrow it will be all over Page Six: “Tom finally loses it.. starts abusing Katie”. It’s not so interesting that she has bruises on her legs.. you should see my legs.. I have so many, it’s really not pretty.
She’s obviously spending too much time on her knees…it’s a new position called the cult train! yuck!
Where’s this Rodriguez chick, #89? How do you know that Holmes wasn’t ALLOWED anywhere without her? And she’s still in touch with most of her friends. At lest with her family that’s for sure. I’m not an idiot and my track record is far better than yours so forget this ‘once again’ crap immediately.
Prove it or shut up, #90. What exactly is supposed to be so confidential on set?
Get a life already. Why spend all your time hating a person that has no significance on your life?
she looks stunning
I LOVE THOSE SUNGLASSES
