From the coat up, she looks good, but those jeans look ridiculous. She looks like a fool with them dragging along the pavement like that.

# 3

Hem those pants! Katie is not the fashionista people think.

# 4

She’s awesome!!

THE DQ—> katie has a new nose?? she had it done???

i’ve always liked wide jeans. but these doesn’t fit katie that well

how people can say she looks awsome??? THE WAY SHE’S DRESSED IS TERRIBLE!

big deal!!! I have been wearing wide leg jeans for about two months now!!! I was first!!!

[☆I n F a m o u s☆] @ 09/11/2008 at 2:04 pm

________________

You mean mocking, j e r koff! lmao..

What are all the Katie Holmes fans so f u cked in the head and angry! lmao…

As hinted to be real life sources who have seen her lately, this looks much more like anorexia than a pregnancy. (Many with the disease where baggy clothes that disguise it, you know.)

How many more rehersals of her do we have to see ? it;s the same bored pics of a person who’s only talent is been married to tom cruise ! don;t you have something more interested to report besides this and the eternal coffee shops of that ugly hig school musical girl ??

where–>wear, I mean

[☆I n F a m o u s☆] @ 09/11/2008 at 2:28 pm

I’ve come to a decision and have finally realized that Katie Holmes suuucks and can’t dress to save her life.

My, she dropped some serious money for that Hermes bag, didn’t she? The girl really took advantage of her marriage, didn’t she? What’s in it? Tom?

she usually looks impeccable but this is just ridiculous! she has a stylist who is very good/talented. i guess it’s their way of sort of pushing the envelope - trying to create a statement!!. love her hermes but it’s just WAY too big!

Better than the rolled up jeans!

Great style & I just love her laid back look, you go girl!!!!

wildcataz @ 09/11/2008 at 2:50 pm

Katie need to get a better stylist ASAP….she looks “frumpy”, boorring,just like a walking zombie….what happen to you Katie???

Creature from Black Lagoon @ 09/11/2008 at 3:07 pm

Why would you wish for something so mean to befall her, #7?

You’re kidding, #8. Right?

Everyone hates here even though she’s done nothing to them! (Let alone anything ‘interesting’ whatever that means)

I wish many people liked her…

It’s her money as well, #21. If Cruise doesn’t care, why should you?

*Yawn* Took you long enough, Creature. *Yawn*

As hinted to be real life sources who have seen her lately, this looks much more like anorexia than a pregnancy. (Many with the disease where baggy clothes that disguise it, you know.)

_____________________________

I can believe that, Sarisue. She’s looking postively frighteningly skinny of late.

These jeans posts are cracking me up! Do you think Katie is now playing a game with Just Jared to see what jeans will show up on his site today???

[☆I n F a m o u s☆] @ 09/11/2008 at 2:28 pm

Well, welcome to the Katie can’t dress to save her life club.

Is that the mega-bucks Hermes red bag? Even with that as an accessory she looks off and awful with her fashion sense.

Every piece she is wearing is oversized! The extra large birkin, the too long sweater, the huge flares.

You play one piece off the other Katie, that means 1 item can be oversize, like just the bag or just the sweater. It looks like she just had gastric bypass and didn’t update her wardrobe.

Megan fox rocks @ 09/11/2008 at 3:49 pm

Katie looks so adorable

Boy, I am really getting tired of pictures of her in her extensive jeans wardrobe and her series of dull, dark tops. Being a “serious” stage actress doesn’t mean you have to dress like a drudge, Katie.

Prada Love Fest @ 09/11/2008 at 4:04 pm

No wonder Katie has been so dissed by all the runway shows and happenings in NYC this month. No front row invitations or parties invites for her. Boo hoo hoo. Girl can’t even get a designer endorsement deals and has to pretend to create one with the lady on Tommy’s payroll.

The idea Katie was some sort of “fashionista” was started and floated along by her PR camp, which is Tom Cruise’s PR camp and experts at things like that. It’s what Katie wanted, so she thought she could get it through Tom (like Nicole did).

From someone who knows, too bad in the real cruel cold fashion world everyone thinks she’s a wannabe with no class or taste, and no one wants to have her seated at their shows (even if little Tommy writes big checks). HAHAHA!!

I like her styles, she’s natural. she really bring out the styles, her own styles. I like to make up my own looks too, don’t like to copy anybody.

*Infamous*
You finally said something that makes sense. You are a NOBODY!!!

She has every single top, sweaters and jeans, boots and flats featured on the pages of last month’s Lucky magazine, right down the letter. She’s not orginal by any means. She’s just stinking rich with her husband’s fortune to spend on everything she sees.

Go look at their August edition guide for fall and you will see every outfit Katie has worn so far (although on her most have dreadful fit with her weird long torso and disproportionate heavy legs). I was flipping through while waiting for an interview and cracking up.

When did she get her own slave?

One of the perks of Tom’s OT level in Scientology, parker.

Good victoria @ 09/11/2008 at 4:47 pm

DANCER AND RESCUE 59….. Hey guys….WHAT is up with Katie’s jeans dragging the ground ?……Do NOT like THAT look !!!!………BUT, I LOVE that Red Hermes over-sized bag….I bet that thing was a hugh amount of $$$$$$$$……..The scarf in the hair is a different look, but her hair is way too short for it to work……….In those jeans though, I doubt she is pregnant, because her belly LOOKS way to flat………My friend Susan is going to back-off THE MARY because of strange, black SUV’s, ( or escalade’s she says ), that seem to appear ( 2) when she is eating at the restaurant…….Susan said it gives her and her husband ” a creepy feeling, that THEY are being watched also”….Now Susan’s husband is worried that she may have gone too far trying to get more information out of THE MARY, and is hoping this will blow over if they stay away………So, when they left the restaurant on Monday night and Wednesday night, they took different routes home just to make sure these black SUV’s did NOT follow them…..They didn’t, but are very paranoid now, and they hate that feeling ” of something COULD happen, so let’s watch our every move”…….What do you guys think of this stuff with the black cars????…………OH, to the person who said ” katie LOOKS stupid”, how do you think she LOOKS stupid?……I’m sure she did not think that getting dressed, ( no-one does ), or she would have changed her clothes…………AND, when did she find time to ” get a nose job”…….She is always being photographed EVERY day for goodness sakes….I have not seen band-ages OR black eyes that result from a nose job…………..SOUND LIKE CREATURE NOW….HEY LAGOON CREATURE….. Dancer and Rescue 59, know that I love Katie, but I still have comments here and there when i DONT like what she is wearing..Like today……I guess we will have to wait and see about Tom’s involvement in the Cult and if he really ‘ get’s out with Remini”……That would make headlines for sure.!!!! Comments guys? WHERE IS DALE AND MAV AND DEBBA ??????

twpumpkin @ 09/11/2008 at 4:52 pm

Another happy picture of Katie!

the head gear is concerning…a lil bit amy winehouse. is she going to get a pin-up tattoo on her arm next?

Creature from Black Lagoon @ 09/11/2008 at 5:10 pm

Why do YOU come here if you hate TomKat so much, #28?

It’s not true, #29.

Quit blaming TomKat for every positive news released by the media, #36.

And how do you know she wasn’t invited? She may have been too busy with all her rehearsals.

What an awful thing to say, #40.

They’re off getting a life I hope, #42.

Katie looks like a completely disheveled, miserable mess. Her hair looks stringy, she looks like she needs a good mean, her clothing is baggy (those jeans are ridiculous), and I can’t imagine why she would need a bag large enough to carry her tiny little husband in. Hey….maybe that’s it! Maybe she’s got Tom in the bag! LOL! I love the men who follow her around carrying her “luggage”. This is NY Katie! It’s so not cool to have handlers following you around!

I’m a New Yorker and if you walk the streets of NY daily as I do, you see regular, everyday women who wouldn’t be caught dressing as miserably at Katie does. She doesn’t just need a stylist. She needs a taste transplant, a sandwich and someone or something that makes her happy cause she sure doesn’t look very happy right now.

Creature is Pathetic @ 09/11/2008 at 5:29 pm

My goodness, Creature/McLovin/Washingon/Clinton….etc. is in rare form today!! LMAO I see she still hasn’t gotten a life!

What happened to yesterday’s pics Jared? Did Tom or Scientology forget to send you his check this month to keep Katie on your pages? Bad Tom! Bad Scientology!

With the fact that the show isn’t selling tickets, you would think that Tom and Scientology would make sure you get your checks right on time every week so all the freaked out, sycophantic fanatics can respond that Katie looks “wonderful” despite the fact that she looks like a hot mess who hates her life.

WTF is she carrying a suitcase for? Seriously, does she not a a clue that she looks like a total ****-for-brains case? That bag can hold enough for 7 days in Vegas. She’s just going from her hotel to “work” (notice I use that term lightly) lol . WTF does she need a suitcase for?

katie is a fu*ktard

I saw a french cover magazine saying that Tom and Katie were living apart ’cause they broke up. I don’t know why, but sometimes, her loneliness makes me think that maybe it’s right.

Not a fan of those jeans on her, maybe if they fit better. I’m just happy to see that she has a ‘little’ color on. I just wished she would smile once and awhile!

She’s not going to smile because she’s trying to be like Posh. Actually, I think this is another case like “Single White Female”. Check the movie out if you haven’t seen it. To make a long story short, Jennifer Jason Leigh is obsessed with Bridget Fonda and wants to become her so much that she tries to be just like her.

I think that Robot Holmes is clearly head over heels obsessed with Posh. Hope she doesn’t try anything drastic like in the movie. Of course, that would mean Katie trying to sleep with David and we all know that’s not going to happen. Katie couldn’t get him.

she’s been rehearsing this play forever!

Yikes!! silly pants!

That big ugly bag! Is she hiding Suri in there???

Of course, that would mean Katie trying to sleep with David and we all know that’s not going to happen. Katie couldn’t get him.
_______________

Over Tom’s dead body! LMAO

Katie had issues with eating disorders in the past so I also would not be the least bit surprised, sarisue. But this is one of those instances I’ll have to feel bad for her. She may have chosen this life with Tom Cruise over her old life, cut ties with former friends and sold out, but what Tom has to offer in his beliefs is NOT going to help her issues. She’s really doomed if she has a serious problem like that.

P.S. Glad to see most everyone is choosing to ignore a certain someone, by the way.

true colors @ 09/11/2008 at 6:20 pm

Wouldn’t you love to ask her “was it worth selling your soul” for the name Cruise and designer duds? Of course, she would lie and say “yes”. Katie Holmes is the biggest money grubbing fake. Her true colors sure came to light when she signed up for the cult.

Nobody in NY even knows who she is or cares. She’s the only one that has put herself on a pedestal by trying to get attention by having someone carry her purse, etc. What little self-important loser she is!

Katie looks terrible! @ 09/11/2008 at 6:25 pm

ally @ 09/11/2008 at 3:46 pm Every piece she is wearing is oversized! The extra large birkin, the too long sweater, the huge flares.

You play one piece off the other Katie, that means 1 item can be oversize, like just the bag or just the sweater. It looks like she just had gastric bypass and didn’t update her wardrobe.

LMAO!!!!!!!!! So TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She only put that rag in her hair because she didn’t know what to do with her hair after Posh came out sporting her new hairdo!!! You know katie is trying to copy posh’s every single white female move! She is so obssessed with her it’s weird!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean come on they are both public figures and everyone is laughing at her in hollywood about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Posh went so short the only thing for katie to do to one up her is to shave her head bald, but that would mean she is copying brittney and she does not want people to truly see that she’s lost her marbles!!!!!!!!! and may need therapy for her jealous ways!!!! that would mean medication!!! Oh no!!!!!!!!!!!!

true colors @ 09/11/2008 at 6:25 pm

If she starts speaking with a British accent, Posh better watch out!!!!!

Creature from Black Lagoon @ 09/11/2008 at 6:40 pm

Don’t make fun of people’s height, #46.

She, #47? I’m a DUDE!

He posts these threads because they’re popular. Not because he’s being paid to put them there.

We don’t know where she’s going, #48. And who knows what may in be there.

Think before you type.

Are such reports EVER true, #49? Think your for yourself and don’t let the tabloids do it for you.

Don’t play mind reader, #51.

She said she had issues with eating disorders, #54? When?

Her true colors came to light, #55? What does that even mean?

She hasn’t said or done anything bad at all, before and during Cruise.

How did she sell her soul? She’s happy with her family and I think I’ll take her word and everyone else’s word before I accept a tabloids.

She’s trying to get people’s attention by letting someone carry her purse? Huh?

I was thinking how Posh is at all the fashion events in NYC right now and steering way clear of Katie while she is in town.

I know Posh helped as Katie’s stylist in a magazine shoot. Right about now she must be thinking she created a monster! Think about how different their styles were when they first started public appearances together. Now Katie is trying so hard to be her. You guys are right. It does remind me of a “single white female” thing.

meisterburger @ 09/11/2008 at 6:58 pm

if Katie is surrounded by Tom Cruise’s paid employees all day and night, all she hears is how great she is and probably think Posh Spice is trying to be like her now and not the other way around

meisterburger @ 09/11/2008 at 7:01 pm

and that purse/suitcase is redonkulous. i’ve seen her carrying it before. you know she thinks she looks ‘red hot’

I can’t believe I’m apologizing to McLovin, but I didn’t mean slave. I realize that has a bad connotation and inappropriate. I meant to say servant.
I’m sorry about that!!!

republican @ 09/11/2008 at 7:20 pm

classy and I love her fashion taste.
She looks fresh and lovely with her hair too.

There are times she looks like Jackie O but on this pics she looks like Audrey Hepburn esp her pixie haircut. Thanks JJ.

HAHA. The three Scios just showed up and paid their respects.

#62 parker, the last person you need to apologize is to him.

And I pretty sure we get three for the price of one there, since they’re all the same person. lol…

mya, I also think there is some kind of separation going on, but I also think they live mostly separate lives at home too so its nothing new. We just get to see how separate they are now that Katie has come out of that house.

yes, pink, she does not look like katie herself, now she is copying someone else. The bad thing is that the ones you mention really looked classy, not like katie looks, something usually looks off with her , and when she looks goos is because she has a ton of make up on and very expensive clothes that cover her legs completely.

Good victoria @ 09/11/2008 at 8:43 pm

NUMBER # 62……..Apologize to whomever you want…….It does not matter WHO it is……It is nice to see apologies once in awhile….Everyone who knows me , KNOWS that I DO apologize when I’m in the wrong, OR have given the wrong information about something that i have read somewhere else………….There is no need for hatefulness, because it will bite you back in the patooty faster than lightning…..The ONLY time I can get really angry, is over the vile and mean comments about the children……….I LOVE everyone’s postings and views as it gives me different insights on the subject………..SO, NUMBER # 62, YOU apologize whenever you feel the need, and don’t let others make you feel bad for doing it.

Good victoria @ 09/11/2008 at 8:50 pm

OH, I forgot, to NUMBER # 49,,, ( maya )…. What French cover ( magazine ) had this information on Tom and Katie living separately?…and why would the French know this?…….I believe that if that were true, WE woud have heard that Headline information very quickly, and the media NOT focusing on Katie’s jeans and red Hermes bag…….

You know Good VICTORIA, it is strange that Tom and Katie are apart. He and Nicole tried to always have one working, one not so they could be together. He strikes me as a needy sort (i.e., always needs to have a female on his arm)…so it is interesting that she is in NYC and he is not. It is always amazing when I read posts on here that say something to the effect of “How happy she looks.” She looks totally miserable. Or stone-faced. Hard to tell.

I wasn’t trying to make him feel bad for apologizing, goos Victoria. What a way to misconstrue someone’s words! Geesh. I was trying to say that no one need listen to Creature Clinton McLovin because we all know by now he’s a w h ack job.

So if parker felt bad about a post, whatever uyhe/she wants to do he/she should do. But NO ONE on this board should have to feel censored by Clinton Creature McLovin and he deseves no apologies directed to HIM. That’s what I said–no need to apologize to HIM.

If you feel it’s okay that he tries to attack and censor opinions that differ from his own, that’s good for you. I don’t think it’s right and hate to see people respond to it. Itr’s a public message board and he tries to manipulate it every single day.

Next time you feel like hopping on a soap box, you might want to read a little more carefully.

Are we sure Suri is not in that huge bag??

Good way to avoid the paparazzi

Creature from Black Lagoon @ 09/11/2008 at 9:21 pm

Trying so hard to be her, #59? And you got all this from her getting a bob? Get real.

Beckham and Holmes probably aren’t hanging out together right now despite their shared love of passion because Holmes is too busy rehearsing. It opens next week.

Sooner or later, the paparazzi is going to get a pic of the two hanging out again having dinner or at an event and will once again debunk a silly break-up rumor. Don’t you guys ever get tired of being wrong?

He’s not a servant either, #62. He’s a paid employee of Holmes’. (Thanks for the apology by the way).

They’re not separated, #68.

You really can’t judge a person’s happiness from paparazzi pictures, #72.

All those negative Cruise rumors spouted by tabloids aren’t real. He was never the wacko everyone thought he was.

I’m not a whack job, #73. People who DON’T hate TomKat aren’t crazy.

Anyone, critic or fan, should apologize to the person they offend.

I have no intention of attacking or censoring posts. I don’t care if you have a differing opinion than mine. YOU;RE the one who try to manipulate things.

ouch, I thought it looked more like Tom’s size. You know he hates to be photographed with his lifts!

with*out* his lifts, I meant…lol…

I actually like the jeans , they are just to long on her. Taken up a bit they would look nice. I just don’t get the bag , I must be the only women in the world who really doesn’t know or care about handbags(or shoes for that matter) I just think it’s a bit silly to carry something that big that isn’t luggage. But to each their own.

Creature from Black Lagoon @ 09/11/2008 at 9:21 pm

So creature you say you aren’t a scientologist and you’re a HIM. So how old are you? Something in one of your posts led me to think you are in high school? Correct?

He strikes me as a needy sort (i.e., always needs to have a female on his arm)
_______________________

I think he needs this only for “show” and to be seen. Many in the know say he is desperate not to be seen at awards ceremonies or red carpet events alone because he is so hung up on his public appearance. It makes it interesting (not that it wasn’t already strange) that was his first known sighting/appearance with Katie–a huge award event rather than a normal date or dinner, etc.

I think Tom Cruise is one of those celebrities that has a very weird and ultra-private private life. I think he’s probably on the West Coast doing his own thing and very happy that she’s on the opposite side of the country.

That thing in her hair is so weird. It serves no purpose. I know exactly what headband/scarf look she was going for, but once again she totally missed the mark. It’s too short and placed at such a weird angle on her head.

The fedora hat she tried to wear one day is still the most painfully obvious (and failed) attempt to look “hip and now”. I still cringe to think of it. But this one just confuses me.

Sadder Than Sad @ 09/11/2008 at 10:41 pm

It’s so sad to be Katie Holmes. All the money in the world cannot buy happiness when your life is a fraud.

Bet it’s sucks to know her ex-boyfriend is hotter than lava, on a hit new show and living just around the corner with his gorgeous model/actress/fashionista girlfriend who always has reason to smile. Bet she wishes Josh really visited her, but that’s just another lie too.

Boo hoo.

She doesn’t look pregnant ,but never thought she was since she is still with Tom Cruise. When she was first photographed she smiled and was loving it, now she’s acting like Jackie O. (the leave me alone pose). She’s stupid she could never be Jackie O. she has no class, no fashion sense, her hair is ugly and she’s a total moron except for shopping and spending TC’s money.

whatever yo @ 09/11/2008 at 11:05 pm

Ugh. She looks like Gumby.

The pants are too wide and too long on her.

She needs Victoria to help her out!

Creature…you are using too many double negatives in your sentences lately. You disappoint me.
Hey GV!!!!!

WTG KATIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

McLovin, servants are paid employees. That’s exactly how he behaves, as a servant.

The guy is a paid servant/caretaker of the Cruises just like a maid, handyman or cook or butler. The only difference is he’s armed.

Well, whatever, he Creature sounds like he is 13 to 15 years old with a huge crush on Mz. Katie.

The Katie evolution is a joy to watch….

i dunno wht is so special bout her. and shes like a zombie. just doing nothing. boooring.

MORE MILEY POSTS!

rabbid dog @ 09/12/2008 at 4:23 am

for the love of god ! NOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooo
NO BIG JEANS OH GOD DIES (x.x)

Just one question, where are photos of the real stars of the play–veteran Broadway theater actors–or don’t they go to rehersal everyday, too? Wonder how they feel about the TomKat jinx on ticket sales…

So true, susan.

All religions give the government endless headache. Even the Pop has always given pressure to the governments. Some countries like china completely reject new religions. It’s understandable.

Good luck Katie. You did nothings wrong.

Susan, there’s not tomkat jinx on ticket sales. Tickets have been selling well according to Variety and broadwayworld.com. Only trashy papers like the ny post reported that the play wasn’t selling well.

BroadwayBabe @ 09/12/2008 at 9:22 am

The truth behind the scenes is that they are very disappointed in ticket sales because Katie was NOT the big draw they expected. Daniel Radcliffe is selling more tickets. The play will do just fine probably but they had an idea that it would be bigger because of her name.

Katie better do really exceptional work because she has a huge bad buzz surrounding her performance and reviews will be unforgiving.

BroadwayBabe @ 09/12/2008 at 9:34 am

To bb…

Variety only ran an article quoting the producer and publicist of the play issuing their assurances that ticket sales were not lackluster.

What did you really think they were going to say? “No, we can’t see tickets to our play”? LOL

Broadway babe, may I ask where you are getting this info? Like I said, Variety and other reputable site have said that AMS tickets have been selling well. According to Varety, the advance was $3.5 million which is actually more than what Daniel Radcliffe’s play sold.

ok, but you’re still not telling me where you are getting your info.
Also, I know that producers might exaggerate the amount of tickets sold, but I don’t think they would outright lie and say that play had a $3.5 million advance if it didn’t even come close to that. Won’t they lose credibility if it turns out they were lying?

BroadwayBabe @ 09/12/2008 at 9:50 am

Why do I have to tell you where I get my info? LOL.

You don’t HAVE to tell me where you are getting you’re info, but you can’t blame me for asking how you know that tickets for AMS are not selling well when reputable sites have reported that they are. Personally, I will believe the reports from Variety rather than the anonymous sources that have been quoted in articles in the NY Post.

BroadwayBabe @ 09/12/2008 at 10:47 am

“reputable sites have reported that they are”
_____________________

Reputable sites have reported that producers “say” they are. There’s a distinct difference.

andamentothat @ 09/12/2008 at 11:15 am

the only reason people would notice her on a street is that huge bag.. What does it hold.. costume changes for the play?

The style that she is going for is not that bad, but she cant pull it off.. I cant place a finger on what is wrong but it doesnt look put together.. Hire a stylist .. Jen Rade

Creature from the Black Lagoon @ 09/12/2008 at 11:30 am

No he doesn’t, #77. He doesn’t care about comments about his height.

I’m young but not a highschooler, #79.

“Many in the know say…” eh, #80. I hate gullible tabloids readers like you.

Why would such a big movie star worry about his not being seen by himself at big events? I’m pretty sure he has before.

There’s nothing strange or even interesting about surprsing people at an event. They kept their romance quiet for a month and decided to go for a big opening. It worked. It was a hit.

I’m much simpler than that. Holmes is busy in NY while Cruise is busy tending to UA matters and his children in LA.

I’ll never get why people like #81 and others get so worked up about clothes.

I have, #85?

Whatever, #87 and #88. Better than calling him a ’slave’ or that Holmes treats her employees as subversives or some other idiocy.

I’m nowhere near that age and I don’t have a crush on Holmes, #89.

Holmes is a real star of the play too, #93. They’re hardly photographed and featured here because they’re simply not very famous.

There is no jinx. Do you honestly believe that this play would have done better or the same WITHOUT Holmes?

So you admit that the play IS selling but just not as well as expected, #97?

Thye could have tactfully said that ticket sales have been dispappointing and downplayed the weak presales (they’re not weak by the way), #94. I hate this excuse. When a source tries to debunk a rumor, they’re accused of trying to save face.

Ever considered that the trashy NY Post is the one that’s lying? They don’t exactly have the best track record now do they?

Because to be credible, you should be able to back up your argument, #101.

Tickets aren’t selling well. They had moved the play to a larger theatre displacing another play that was doing well. They thought they would sell out. Well, big surprise to them, the tickets are selling much more poorly than expected. I believe MSNBC has said this and Variety has followed up.
You have only to go into Ticketmaster and search for tickets to the play. I was able to get front section/middle seats for two within two weeks of the play opening and front section/middle seats for four within four weeks. As a long time Broadway theatre goer–this is not good. Normally the front section tickets go first as they are the most in demand. Then the next most in demand section and on and on. To have a play like this not sell in the larger venue is going to be financially disasterous to the backers (which may be Tommy boy who knows?). They should have kept this play at the smaller venue. Or Katie should have chosen a play that would have showcased her limited talents much better than this one by Arthur Miller. This would not be a vehicle for a Broadway novice to start her theatre career in. I do not like Katie, but I do pity and feel totally sorry for her. The expectations from the backers and I’m sure in her mind, were that the play would perform much better and now things are bombing. Her acting skills aren’t that great, so there is the possibility she is going to bomb especially when up against the great broadway veterans Lithgow and Weist. I’ve seen both of them on Broadway and Katie is not in their class. She should have done what Amanda Peet did and choose something like Barefoot in the Park as her virgin theatre debut. People love that play and you’d have to be pretty bad for them to boo you off stage. She should have looked for a play that people love, surrounded herself with a great set, good solid actors and then debuted. To start her theatre debut in a literary giant’s serious play was probably a huge miscalculation on her part.

I completely agree, dancer. Excellent, insightful post.

With weeks and weeks of acting and voice lessons on the side, in addition to her play rehearsals, I don’t think she picked a role she can handle and should have played it safer as you said. Luckily she has such seasoned talent to back her up, but those actors also might just make her look much worse by comparison.

Well, big surprise to them, the tickets are selling much more poorly than expected. I believe MSNBC has said this and Variety has followed up.

No Variety did not follow up. Variety has reported that ticket sales for All My Sons has been strong

Variety followed up that there were rumors of tickets not selling well. It’s right there in black and white in the very same article to which you refer. The article was about producers of the show trying to dispel the rumor.

So dancer is correct that they followed up.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

Look at those jeans! She’s a complete dork.

Hey DANCER,……….I guess it dosen’t matter about anyones ticket sales prediction, because the final truth will be week to week, on how well the play is received………So, people can argue with you and the others ( LOL ), but the final outcome will be shortly down the road…….I hope they are wrong, because it would be such a terrible blow for EVERYONE involved…..Lithgow and Weist do not deserve that no matter HOW Katie is perceived and looked upon….Let’s hope for the best!

DANCER……….WISH I COULD GO WITH YOU…..LUCKY GIRL!!!!!!

More pics of her.
Please.
thanks in advance.

She acted better than the actress in TDK and has real chemistry with Christian Bale.

Why do people love her style so much? She always looks like some kid in high school who doesn’t quite know how to dress, so she mixes things that don’t go together, don’t fit her well, and don’t suit the occassion (case in point: wearing a winter coat on a summer day).

She always looks like she’s trying but never quite gets it. The headband is cute but the jeans look awful, and the oversized bag with the oversized jeans make her look like a cartoon character.
