Entertainment Weekly have All My Sons a B-. Read the review at EW.com. USA Today gives it 2.5 stars out of 4, calling Katie’s debut a little off-key.

that is fugly

# 2

hm.. not her best look;

# 3

wow. what’s happened to her? she used to be so hot.

# 4
fashion don't @ 10/16/2008 at 11:49 pm

it’s a miss
she really has zero sense of style

# 5

Holy crap! She looks ridiculous! Did she make that in her Home Ec class 12 years ago?

Well, the official reviews for Katie’s performance are in and guess what folks? She doesn’t embarrass herself! Yep, she’s that good. Talk about damning with faint praise. I guess it’s similar to the low expectations Sarah Palin had prior to her debate. As long as Holmes didn’t vomit on stage or run away screaming it’s all good.

# 6

Old lady in an ill-fitting outfit.

looks awful!

# 7

Damn, that’s fugly.

# 8

omg! Hideous and the color and desigh is so out of wrack.

Plus, she really looks like she is shrinking!

Poor Katie…..what is happening to her?

# 9

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA….. heee heee… hahhhahahhhahhaaa…

whew…. needed a good laugh…….. that thing she is calling a jumpsuit is uber shitious!!!! … Hair, makeup…..hee hee…. The entire “look” is completely wrong on so many levels …. oh my goodness… did she not have a mirror when she walked out the door?

she looks old and sickly. she’s fading away into nothingness…

was the play a comedy?

frumpy
80’s
stupid
ugly
ridiculous
just plain awful!!!

What has Tom done to her? This is the ugliest getup ever and her hair looks terrible. Where is Katie? This is just terrible. Suri has a better fashion sense at age 2.

what’s up with the armpit thing? it looks like someone sewed this in the dark….out of scraps…with a 3 minute time limit…

is this another one of her “designs” or what?

HIDEOUS!! It looks like something you make with toilet paper at a bridal shower.

She was looking so good awhile back…like a style icon and everything…wtf happened! Recently she has been withering away into fugville! She really appears to have had a style lobotomy!

my aunt elna used to have this exact outfit…or something very close to it. She wore mostly to funerals and church, but once she wore it to Black Angus to celebrate my cousins birthday. that was back in the 80’s….LOL

Classy and beautiful!!
Go Katie!!! Ignore haters and bigots!

This get-up is something Katie designed? It looks like something SURI designed!!

I watched Batman Begins the other day, and I really can’t believe how much Katie has aged in just three short years. In the film she looked like a kid and now she looks matronly by comparison.

be a CLOWN be a CLOWN…!

oh my, i worried that if the girls over at gofugyourself.com left her alone for too long that something like this might happen.

a tragedy!

Fantasyisland @ 10/17/2008 at 12:11 am

She has a pretty face and smile, and the outfit isn’t so bad, but the cream part of the top has to go. If she had done the pants with a camisole with the see through part with a black bra area, she would look beautiful.

My eyes! Dear God, my eyes!

She really has no clue how ridiculous she looks, does she? Katie, the people out there pointing their cameras at you are not there because they love you and want to see you, they are there to chronicle your descent into oblivion. Stop smiling, the best review you got was “good stage presence”, “she didn’t embarrass herself”, these are not reviews to be showing all your teeth for.

I think that if the jumpsuit were black too, it would have worked out. Too bad.

NancI Black @ 10/17/2008 at 12:15 am

Did she really sew this herself ? Its different ….One wrong move and the seams look like they are gonna come open. Kate is pretty …. Looks sooo much like Suri …

I see that your friends who promised to be there on opening night are washing their hair.

She looks like an old woman. I bet if she was standing near Diane Wiest, she would pass for Diane Wiest’s mother.

Ninasimone @ 10/17/2008 at 12:19 am

The Fug Girls are going to have a field day with this one. It looks like she sewed it 10 minutes before arriving. FAIL.

Just my opinion @ 10/17/2008 at 12:19 am

This was an important night in Katie’s career and she wore the
ugliest outfit she could find or design? Why? She should have
worn something by Armani but maybe she was upset because
he was not coming to her opening night and she didn’t want to
give him anymore publicity. Still she should have worn something
nicer, more elegant. This doesn’t even go together (the blouse
and the I Dream of Jeannie pants).

So far no pictures of Katie and Cruise photographed together.

Hot and talented!!!

Yikes, Katie!! That outfit does not look good at all.

Thank you, Jared! I didn’t think I was going to get my Katie Holmes fix today.

What’s sad is that no one in her life, either in the design world, or family friends told her that her look is crap. Besides the craptastic outfit, her necklace doesn’t go with the neckline of the shirt either. She should have just stayed in costume.

NancI Black @ 10/17/2008 at 12:28 am

As of 12 midnight EST Time .. ItS my Birthday … I work until 10 Pm at a college as a cashier . I love to read JJ after work.

wearing that makes her age like 20 years…

Badly executed, poor mix of fabrics, unbalanced shape, and the pants are an awkward length.

Concrete proof, this woman has horrible taste.

IF one were to be able to save this mess, which would be an impossible task, the necklace and shoes don’t match each other, the “jumpsuit” or the event for which it was intended, e.g, the necklace and shoes are casual, while “the mess” seems to be intended as evening wear?

Katie, you’re out, you may leave the runway!

Just my opinion @ 10/17/2008 at 12:35 am

Nancl Black - Happy birthday! Be careful out there.

Just my opinion @ 10/17/2008 at 12:36 am

Nancl Black - Happy birthday! Be careful out there.

The whole outfit is hideously ugly!! And she designed it herself…did someone hold a gun to her head to design something around a bed sheet?!? YUCK!

omgno- I thought exactly the same thing-what has Tom the midget done to her? I would not wear that to clean my house! She looks like crap ( never really knew her before she married the midget which is a big joke anyway) but she looks awful. She’s too young to look so old. Get away from that control freak and run for your life. You and your daughter seem to just be for publicity-doesn’t look like your match made in heaven-more like a cover-up.

Just my opinion @ 10/17/2008 at 12:41 am

#34 - My name: How do you know she has no one to tell her the truth?
Maybe she’s one of those persons that can’t hear the truth or she’ll
bite you head off (tell you off and delete you from her life).

I find it incredibly hard to believe that Katie has worn Lanvin, Armani,
and other designers and tonight of all nights she wears this mess?

This night was an important night in her career. I bet if anyone is writing an autobiography of her life pictures of her in this outfit will
be included in the book. The outfit she wore tonight should have been
special. But who knows why she didn’t wear a designer outfit and so
far I see NO PICTURES of Katie with Cruise.

Captain Stubing @ 10/17/2008 at 12:41 am

The Love Boat……. soon willbe making it’s final run………..The Love Boat……………….guests of the Captain’s table will be meeting in cocktail attaire on the Lido Deck….

Who are these freaks that are lying to her and telling her she looks good?!!!!!

Can we buy this woman a mirror aned a BRUSH?!!!!

Tim Gunn, I always wait impatiently for your very wise words. As usual, you’re absolutely correct. Katie should leave the runway indeed.

OMG!
Did Suri help her make this outfit?
So wrong in lots of ways……..

Neil Simon @ 10/17/2008 at 12:47 am

The REAL reviews are in and they are BAD! ( don’t bother with EW and USA today, they are soft serve ice cream for the masses)

Example No.1:

The New York City Theatre Review:

“But we know what you want to hear: can Katie Holmes (aka Mrs. Tom Cruise) act in an intense Broadway play?

And here’s our answer: No! Well, at least not very well. In the supporting role of Ann Deever, Holmes shows spunk and a radiating stage presence, but absolutely no nuance or control of her voice. She performs all her lines in a broad, wooden and non-specific manner.”

WHAT A COLD MESS! Why isn’t Tommy boy by her side? Oh yeh, he’s with his mistress.

Why does she look way older than her age? Someone give her a KFC bucket…she needs some meat on them bones!!

My God. Wow. Definitely not a good look for her.

http://celebritytoday.today.com/

oo hell no. @ 10/17/2008 at 1:24 am

wow she usually wears pretty casual/chic clothes but wth happened?

the lace detail isn’t even seamed/finished at the ends…

and what’s up w/ the aladdin cuffs?

hell to the no.

Mr. Rabbit @ 10/17/2008 at 1:27 am

I liked her. It was a good begginer’s work. But that was the probelm. It was obvious she was a beginner. Holmes still needs to some work.

But still, she impressed me more than I expected and held her own quite well.

Pretty girl. Horrible sense of style.

Katie, please don’t give up your day job.
You’re a better actress than designer.

Mr. Rabbit @ 10/17/2008 at 1:46 am

They’re just clothes, #42. It’s not that serious.

So what if there are no pics of the couple together-yet? What’s your point? You think they’re breaking up?

They’re ’soft serve ice cream for the masses’ when they speak positively of Holmes only, #46.

stargazer @ 10/17/2008 at 1:48 am

Whenever Jared adds “yay or nay” to his comments, I know it’s gonna be bad. This is just the worst outfit I’ve ever seen on anyone, ever.

i don’t think it’s bad at all. she kinda looks like a model here.

EXTRA, EXTRA - NYT'S REVIEW @ 10/17/2008 at 2:10 am

The New York Times killed her! HA!

WOW!! She looks pretty rough and that outfit….? She looks gorgeous in the shots from the play, but not in that white bubble thing!! Yikes!

No Mr. Rabbit/ Horse @ 10/17/2008 at 2:23 am

Mr. Rabbit #54

They’re (EW and USA Today) ’soft serve ice cream for the masses’ when they speak positively of Holmes only, #46.

Sorry, EW ddin’t like her, their only reference, “Broadway neophyte Holmes. After a painfully awkward first scene, she relaxes a bit;..” Woohoo, she relaxes A BIT means she is wooden. Not a good review.

USA Today: “Katie Holmes’ one-note debut in ‘All My Sons’ is a little off-key” “At best, she exhibits a girlish exuberance that could serve her well in certain stage roles, provided she finds a director who can ease her obvious self-consciousness and get her to focus on the often-intricate process of character development..”

The above are BAD reviews, but they are soft serve papers for the masses.

The papers that count on Broadway are the New York Theatre Review and the New York TImes. Both papers hated Katie Holmes and said so. You may need a dictionary to understand the snarky verbage used to condemn her performance, but condemn her hey did!

she does actually look happy here, you have to give her that.

Her hair, make up, and outfit are a mess.

Well, I’m of the same opinion as most everybody else. That thing is FUGLY!!!!!!!!! Anything she’s ever worn that she designed is just God awful disgusting looking.

Jared - next time just set up a poll where we can vote.

I like it, most people seem not to like it.
I don’t think she looks old either.
A bit skinny perhaps but still very pretty and classy.

OMG, what happened to her? She used to be hot!

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mama mia what is she wearing????

she thikns she is a style icon (the rolled up jeans, the large jeans…)she is trying to start some fashion Hit so hard…but she simply can’t! some people don’t born with that talent! Please give up katie!

i have no words…it’s too bad to be true!

What in the hell is that atrocity she is wearing???

one amazing actress and she looks happy and lovely the cast too.

JJ did you watch it????

So many love her chemistry with Patrick Wilson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beautiful and talented Katie. Stellar cast/crew and I keep wishing I can watch this play if I have the money

She has it all…booohooo haters sucks to be miserable
and jealous of Katie and her family

thanks Jared

Havana club @ 10/17/2008 at 4:22 am

Horrible. Why does she look like she’s 48?

mary-anne @ 10/17/2008 at 4:24 am

I don’t like her outfit but I think her face looks young and gorgeous! Don’t see how people can think she looks old or ugly. And not all of the reviews are bad. NY Daily news, for instance, gave her a good review.

ahahaha OMG LMAO ahahahaha it hurts to look at, it’s making me laugh too much ahahahahaha that is the worst thing I have ever seen in my life ahahahahahaha how can she go out in public like that ahahahahaha I can’t wait for some dim wit magazine cough cough “people” to put that on the cover ahahahahaha style icon BS! ahahahahaha ahahahahaha ahahahahahahaha

yay to her beauty,yay to her acting and yay to her fashion. Im happy to read the coming reviews now having googled them and they are uberpositive on Katie and the whole cast

Tom was there along with his sister also Isabel Rosellini,wife of Daniel Day Lewis,Barbara Walters etc…hats off to Katie

I’m not sure if I should laugh or vomit.
I don’t think she should take the “credit” for “designing” this outfit. It looks like a windsock.

And exactly where is her “support” tonight? Just because it’s Thursday nobody can show up? Good grief, her stalker claims to have seen her (not a reality), but her family, friends, and fellow cult members can’t show up?

I don’t care if the entire planet shows up Friday night to cheer her on with rainbow fireworks shooting out their butts, it won’t correct the nightmare created by ZERO support on opening night.

That everyone, is the reality of the illusion of Tomkat.

Truth can’t be denied.

flickie finish school and come back here when you are all grown up

anonymous @ 10/17/2008 at 4:42 am

HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Most of the reviews are very good……….congrats to everyone

Redemption time because Katie is getting praises on Broadway,the protestors were only 35 and they were outnumbered by the many fans of TomKat. They were escorted by theatre to stop their loud chants so the protestors just decided to go home early because they have no attention but look like idiots.

thanks JJ @ 10/17/2008 at 4:46 am

SHE LOOKS LIKE AUDREY HEPBURN
ALSO ON SOME PICS LIKE
JACKIE KENNEDY

Forget about the dress, her performance is more important - or Not - cause she wasgiven a thumbs down by the critics. To be fair, she wasn’t all that bad but also not even good. Which doesn’t bode well for her future career options. Looks like Dan Radcliffe is the only Hollywood celebrity of late who conquered Broadway - both commercially (more ticket sales than All MY Sons) and artistically (he got rave reviews from All critics).

BTW, why are some people asking why Tom Cruise was not in the pictures? Are they the same ones who complained that Tom stole Katie’s thunder during the opening night just be attending the show? Poor Tom is doomed whatever he does…

?????????? @ 10/17/2008 at 4:55 am

well jasmine Radcliffe got naked so Im sure they want Katie to do the same

?????????? @ 10/17/2008 at 4:57 am

jasmine you are wrong All my Sons topped Euqus as the most hot ticket in NY as a non musical play

timeless beauty and regal

Most audiences and critics enjoyed the cast but its the script especially” director” they didnt like.

Add the fact right now they are not entertained with war themes,war profiteering even corruption and greed that mirrors NY’s Wall Street
these days.

They added Sept 11 themes,war and economic themes are not so embraced by many look at all anti war,war movies even the latest Russell Crowe and DiCaprio CIA movie beaten badly by Disney’s Chihuahua.

NY Times didnt like Lithgrow,Diane Wiest and Katie. Ironic that all New York critics were the same ones that panned the Dark Knight
ruthlessly

she looks ill, like she lost 10 or more pounds in the last week or soo, not healthy that’s for sure !

I heart Katie <3<3

that’s normal Broadway is stressful and tiresome different
from TV and movies

GLuck Katie and get some rest

one pretty lady

She’s a darling and she rocks in this play.

Uh, 2008, do you know how to read? The NY Times praised John Lithgow and Patrick Wilson. They panned Dianne Wiest and Holmes. I love how the NY Times described her as a tabloid star. True that.

Always been a cutiepie but now she’s transformed
into a confident beautiful woman

how dare some critics make fun of my bf Patrick Wilson

Well, if Katie Holmes thought she would reignite her career a la Nicole Kidman with her stage performance, she must be bitterly disappointed. She has consistently received the weakest reviews of anybody in the cast. Unless she makes some changes to her performance, this foray into Broadway will be a total bust.

iron chef @ 10/17/2008 at 5:23 am

Reignite her career? She is a promising talent who is already doing so much for her young age.She is also passing the socalled myth of wives marrying superstars that they cant overshadow their talented powerful hubbies.

Katie is not like Kidman,Aniston and Paltrow. WTG Katie.

Katie is on the rise and I will see her career as fading once she resorts to nudeness and Playboy!

Iron chef, you could not be more right. Katie Holmes is nothing like Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Aniston, and Gwyneth Paltrow. All three of those actresses became successful without their husband’s help. Katie Holmes? You would have to be extremely naive to think that Tom Cruise’s notoriety didn’t get Holmes her role in All My Sons. By the way, Kidman and Paltrow both did stage productions to much higher praise than Holmes(and they were actually the main stars of their plays, not supporting like Holmes).

All My sons grossed high on the first weekend of previews - as can be expected of a new play with a celebrity cast. Afterwards, Equus again “charged ahead by $80,000 with total earnings of ($740,746). The Katie Holmes co-starrer “All My Sons” ($690,900) reported its highest tally so far.”

As for the Bad reviews, Katie shouldn’t be depressed at all. Even Julia Roberts was panned by critics when she did her Broadway debut. NY theater critics are tough to please.

Concerned and Deeply Troubled @ 10/17/2008 at 5:43 am

She looks hot

. . . . . . a hot mess.

I feel so sorry for her! She always looks so directionless. Someone needs to take over ala Britney Spears Daddy style.

A.N.O.R.E.X.I.C.

iLOveSuri @ 10/17/2008 at 5:51 am

OMG the outfit looks terrible. Did she sew it herself?
She is too thin and looking old. Is she 29 or 39?
Because to me she looks 39.
Grow your hair Katie, put on some pounds & restore your youth back !
Everyone wants to look you but you. Silly Katie!

iLOveSuri @ 10/17/2008 at 5:54 am

Oh by the way, it to me looks like Katie is wrapped in white towel. Ugly outfit. Don’t try to design yourself Katie, better spend your money on Armani. Their desing looks better than the one you did. The kind of funny outfit you are wearing is only suitable for Suri. Perhaps when you were designing you were thinking of Suri wearing it? LOL

Entertainment Weekly have All My Sons a B-. Read the review at EW.com. USA Today gives it 2.5 stars out of 4, calling Katie’s debut a little off-key.
____________________________________________________

Yes, of course, what do you Realy expect from her ? she is the weaker Point in the show,in fact the Least talented among of all them

Someone needs to tell her that she looks old,no taste at all in fashion.
Of course, what we all expect from Victorias Best friend
____________________________________________________
Sandra 21# Classy and beautiful!!
Go Katie!!! Ignore haters and bigots!

Are you kidding!
what haters.People are not blind Dear, If we saw something good we will say but ,she realy looks ridiculous.

grandmother is back! she is a true lack of fashion sense! she only escapes when she wears Armani….i hate the outfitt and the gold necklace!

I saw the play one week ago, and i think Katie did a “good” work. for sure she isn’t a very gifted actress, but like her there’s many in Hollywood unhapilly….her role isn’t too big but in a gap 1-5 i would give her a rate of 3.i’m not a huge fan of the play tough…

She doesn’t look great and she is too thin…

AWFUL! She is skinny and ugly!
THE ONLY GOOD THING ARE HER ARE THOSE RING$$$ That Tom gave her !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

there’s not haters here!!!!
People have their own opinions and they should be respected, just because we don’t like person B or C doesn’t mean we hate them!
i don’t like Katie, i think she is just a media seeker as her husband…in my opinion she is just married to become famous, because she isn’t a very good actress to become famous by her own talent!she has a lack of style and she looks quite bad here…i didn’t see the play yet, i intend to do it, but i’m sure she does a fair work, she can’t be brilliant because she doens’t have the talent to be like that!

bad reviews and bad outfit @ 10/17/2008 at 6:15 am

The reviews are coming in @ 10/16/2008 at 10:29 pm http://www.usatoday.com/life/theater/reviews/2008-10-16-all-my-sons-to-be_N.htm

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122420282846543063.html

As expected, Katie Holmes made a fool of herself getting on stage with the all-star cast. Read for the reviews. The role was bought by Tom Cruise and everyone knows it. No director in their right mind would have put her on stage.

At least she wore a BAD OUTFIT to match her BAD ACTING!!!!

Katie cannot hold a candle to Nicole or jen. Chalk it up to age difference or experience but it is what it is

Broadway plays are always risky so the show dosen`t support her career at all !Truth is, Katie probably thought (or was promised) that her career was going to blast off after she hooked up with Tommy Girl. It didn’t. i dont think so
I wonder why anyone thought that she is going to be a great !!!!!!,Why dress so strangely unless you truly can’t live without the media attention and i`m sorry to say that but she is much like Paris Hilton no Talent but just a Tabloid girls that`s it

What’s about the rumor of Tom Cruise deatH?????

That review from the Wall street journal really was cruel to Katie. But it got one thing wrong. All my Sons is not the highest grossing play in broadway. That title goes to the mega musicals. Straight dramas only play second fiddle to the musicals. And even Equus did better than Katie’s drama this week.

Bad luck about the bad reviews though. Stll, she’s only supporting cast. And this is her first play. But She should have prepared for it better though. Voice projeciton is very important in theater. Theater critics easily spot that. They specialize in the difference between Theater acting (which is superior) and movie acting (a tad inferior). LOL

You’ve got to be kidding. Did she sew it herself too? Looks like a home-ec project.

her fellow star from dawsons michelle williams was on broaway some 6-7 years ago with “Killer Joe” and Mike Leighs “Smelling A Rat” and critics and people praised her to death…and Katie is the famous on?. she can`t even sing.

that outfit is really bad. though katie herself is looking quite good.

i LOVE this outfit! it covers her CANKLES!

She looks GODAWFUL in that GODAWFUL jumpsuit!!!!
Why does she think she is a designer? Who would buy or wear this kind of crap - besides Katie Holmes????

awful outfit, horrible design…this woman has bad taste, no style and absolutely no self awareness regarding what looks good on her body.

GET a STYLIST!

jjjjjjjjjjjjj @ 10/17/2008 at 8:23 am

She looks unkempt….skin-wise, teeth-wise, hair-wise, health-wise, clothes-wise, emotional-wise, pyshological-wise….you go figure and be the judge….something is amiss.
Somebody please help this woman! Expediently….

jjjjjjjjjjjjj @ 10/17/2008 at 8:24 am

Where is my comment?

jjjjjjjjjjjjj @ 10/17/2008 at 8:24 am

Where is my comment?

lawd gawd, what an ugly get up.

trick or treat.

another review @ 10/17/2008 at 8:42 am

“Or perhaps the casting of Katie Holmes IS what this production is all about: The dumbing-down of theatre and reducing classics for the Tabloid-reading, Reality-TV show watching, I-Pod addicted audiences of the younger generation. So to anyone who wants to see Homes–come and gawk. But, for serious theatregoers save your money for a better production.”

(from Broadway World)

I think she looks lovely and so happy on the stage. I love her smile=)

mary-anne @ 10/17/2008 at 8:47 am

umm….that wasn’t a review, it was just a commentor on a message board.

Mr.Rabbit, Steven mix @ 10/17/2008 at 9:07 am

Right on!
The entertainment industry has lost its gravity.
And I was forced to call Katie Holmes the most famous of the cast.
God awful, what was i talking about?

And I also called her role “pivotal”, while in fact she only a supporting role.
A small role.

What was I talking about?
Please forgive me I was only waiting for the opening at the Wendy’s so I can quit this gig at Sea Org….

Actually, I like the jumpsuit she designed for herself.
It covers up her humongous hips, thunder thighs and cankles.
What not to like?

Does she own a mirror? Dose she have a stylist? What is she thinking? Oh yea that is right she is not thinking - Tom is thinking for her. Weak minded girl.

I wouldn’t wear that rag around the house no less a premier of my play. What the hell happened to her. She used to be normal

I that outfit ever becomes in style, I will jump off a bridge.

I love and want this Jumpsuit
Its so different and unique … I think it
was a great choice for her premiere
I am so happy she didnt wear a dumb
boring dress like everyone else

I think that outfit looks ok, its different. at least its not boring looking.
something new in style.

Maria (Shorty) @ 10/17/2008 at 9:45 am

WHAT A HORRIBLE MESS!!! UGLY — JUST UGLY!!

WTF is with her postures in the hideous white outfit? The girl has the worst/awkward postures there is.

is she serious? what in xenu h*ll has she got on? ……and where’s the dwarf? how could he resist this moment to steal the spotlight? he must be trapped under a heavy piece of furniture (i.e. john travolta) or something…..

even Tom's was hiding @ 10/17/2008 at 10:00 am

Even Tom was hiding from her!! She looks hideous….Tom Cruise would never miss a PR opportunity.

Tom was embarrassed to be with the FREAK that he created!!!!

WTF was she thinking?

Ha- this reminds me of a Victoria Beckham pose here

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1078398/Katie-Holmes-stuns-Broadway-baggy-Andy-Pandy-inspired-jumpsuit–designed-herself.html

I bet Victoria is having herself a coronary after seeing Katie’s new outift. LOL

It wouldn’t have looked bad if it was a dress, then I saw that it was a jumpsuit and laughed.

turkey baster girl @ 10/17/2008 at 10:11 am

TAKE THAT Victoria Beckham! If you can design your own clothing range, so can Katie homely Holmes! Seriously, Katie - make amends with Posh before you humiliate yourself any further.

normally i dont mind what katie wears but wtf that jumper is the grosses thing ever and then the lace shirt wow

turkey baster girl @ 10/17/2008 at 10:26 am

She designed her own dress for the Tropic Thunder premiere too:

It looks like she raided Tom’s duct tape supplies to make it.

Congrats Katie on your success and she looks so lovely……

LOL freaky looking

she is trying hard to look like posh which is also bad to look like pash. ugh

Her hair looks bad in these pics.
I think ever since she married Tom, she looks horrible.

She’s in pyjamas !

Steven=Mr. Rabbit @ 10/17/2008 at 10:48 am

Right on #156!

Katie looks adorable even in this horrible dress but Im happy for her all around resume and success.

Cute Katie. Very unattractive outfit. Perhaps without the lace top it would have worked. Reviews are not favorable - for Katie or for the play. She was out of her league with the other actors and can’t compare with Tom’s ex.

hot

it makes me wonna watch the play now

I think katie did a great job at the play. she rocked. she is stunning. she’s gorgeous. and she is shinning. her look is just fabulous. people may not like it but on katie she can pull off anything and her make up is wow. she looks awesome. can’t wait to see more designs. loved the show katie!!!!!

jen

I have to admit, this oufit is just awful! The pieces don’t go together and it’s not very flattering to her figure. Why do actresses and singers think that they can start a clothing line? Victoria Beckham’s line sucks too.

Katie looks like she malnourished or something. She looks really ghastly and that outfit makes her look like a spider for some reason.

The outfit is sh*teous. Just as sh*teous as her career. She isn’t much of a designer or much of an actress. Katie ought to stay home with her kid……come to think of it, she’s not much of a mother either.

Here are some reviews from sources that actually count. Lets face it, Katie is at best, a bad actress that should stick to TV

From Ben Brantley, senior theater critic for the NYT:

“…while Ann is supposed to arrive at the Keller household with high hopes and good intentions, Ms. Holmes delivers most of her lines with meaningful asperity, italicizing every word. This Ann is straight from the school of the Erinyes (those avenging furies from Greek mythology), and I didn’t believe for a second that she really loved the honorable, naive Chris (Patrick Wilson).”

From Clive Barnes, senior theater critic for the NY Post:

“…too much of the acting is two-dimensional, at best.”

“Lithgow starts in a sunny, benign fashion, but eventually finds himself screeching alongside Holmes…”.

From Terry Teachout, senior theater critic for the WSJ:

“The presence in the cast of Mrs. Tom Cruise is doubtless responsible for the fact that “All My Sons” is currently the highest-grossing play on Broadway. Those who go to see it on her account, however, are in for a sad surprise. Like most of the pretty young screen things who have made Broadway debuts in recent seasons, Ms. Holmes is a creature of the camera who doesn’t know the first thing about stage acting. Anyone misguided enough to make her professional stage debut on Broadway opposite Mr. Lithgow and Ms. Wiest in an Arthur Miller play is, of course, asking for trouble, and Ms. Holmes gets it in spades. Unable to fill a large theater with the sound of her voice, she is reduced to dull ranting. Perhaps she might have come off better in a different show, but in this one she looks like a well-meaning amateur.”

No Mr. Rabbit/ Horse @ 10/17/2008 at 1:28 pm

They’re (EW and USA Today) ’soft serve ice cream for the masses’ when they speak positively of Holmes only, #46.

Sorry, EW ddin’t like her, their only reference, “Broadway neophyte Holmes. After a painfully awkward first scene, she relaxes a bit;..” Woohoo, she relaxes A BIT means she is wooden. Not a good review.

USA Today: “Katie Holmes’ one-note debut in ‘All My Sons’ is a little off-key” “At best, she exhibits a girlish exuberance that could serve her well in certain stage roles, provided she finds a director who can ease her obvious self-consciousness and get her to focus on the often-intricate process of character development..”

The above are BAD reviews, but they are soft serve papers for the masses.

The papers that count on Broadway are the New York Theatre Review and the New York TImes. Both papers hated Katie Holmes and said so. You may need a dictionary to understand the snarky verbage used to condemn her performance, but condemn her hey did!

The Katie fanatics must be so depressed today! You know the ones….the same one who posts over and over using different names, the one who wishes the wrath of God on anyone who has a different opinion on Katie and that Horse/Creature guy who comments on every post to “defend” Tom and Katie cause God told him to do it! Everyone of them are freaks!

The reviews of Katie’s play sucked and her get-up is hideous! The outfit reminds me of something MC Hammer wore in the 90’s and the best review for Katie’s performance said she “didn’t embarrass herself”. Talk about shining praise. lmao

Tom bought her the play trying to make her a star and it didn’t work. Katie is gonna have a hard time getting work after this. I’m sure she can get herself on some half-a$$ed TV show that was about to be cancelled like Eli Stone. Oh wait…..she already did that!! lol

Too bad, too sad for miserable little Katie. She got what she deserved. She sold her life and her body to a freak cause she thought she could get ahead in her career and now she’s left with nothing but the freak.

Bet if she got away from the freak she would do better. I’m sure that’ll be happening soon enough.

Video of the paly from the Wall Street Journal Review.

They Killed Katie’s “performnance”.

Im not a hater but Im not liking this outfit so much. The black lace top looks like it might be nice but with something else.

hot acting
hot face
hot family
hot future
hot everything
hot JJ

Her face looks great, nice smile. But that outfit is absolutely horrible.

is that the best that she can do? the outfit is pretty ugly.

nay, Nay, NAy, NAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! The outfit looks like it was made from a tablecloth!! Fits about as well too.

So much for Katie’s “success”. When the critics best comments are that you don’t suck, its time to try another profession.

I’d say Katie should stick to acting instead of designing, but she’s not much of an actress either, unless you count the fake marraige. Even then, she looks miserable most of the time, so she’s not very good at that either.

don’t like her outfit, but I like Katie.
a cutest kid, a lovely woman, one of the most talented man, and handsome teens, a perfect compination in one family. love it.

Does Katie have mirrors in her apartment? I guess not cause if she did she wouldn’t have gone out in that mess of an outfit. Its horrible! As far as her performance, the critics pretty much hated it. She oughta just retire and do what she does best: spend Tom’s money and be his beard.

#177 defap @ 10/17/2008 at 2:50 pm

Katie does not have “handsome teens”. She is not their mother. Nicole Kidman is. Also, to say that her’s is the “cutest kid” is pretty pathetic. Suri is cute, that’s for sure, but lots of people have cute kids. ALL kids are cute. As far as the “handsome man”, that’s subjective. I don’t find Tom Cruise very handsome at all! He’s also controlling, part of a cult and a total freakshow.

Her outfit is a big fat UGH! So is her life if you ask me. Yea, she has money, but so what. Money doesnt buy happiness and the girl hardly ever looks happy. Mostly she looks depressed. I would be too if I was with Tom Cruise. I think she got herself into something before she had the time to think about it, got pregnant and married the father rather than think about what it would be like to be with Cruise. It’s ruining her and her career.

Thanks Jared…i want your own review.

loving me some Katie Holmes

Tim Gunn @ 10/17/2008 at 12:35 am Badly executed, poor mix of fabrics, unbalanced shape, and the pants are an awkward length.

Concrete proof, this woman has horrible taste.

IF one were to be able to save this mess, which would be an impossible task, the necklace and shoes don’t match each other, the “jumpsuit”, or the event for which it was intended, e.g, the necklace and shoes are casual, while “the mess” seems to be intended as evening wear?

Katie, you’re out, you may leave the runway!

stop with the katie posts. @ 10/17/2008 at 4:28 pm

Reviews are uniformly bad for ms. Holmes acting abilities on stage, BUT they pale in comparison to that mess she is wearing. What the hell was she thinking? Did she stand in front of a mirror? It looks cheap, totally awful–what a sad way to commemorate your broadway opening–wearing something so incredibly awful.

Beautiful and tremendous actress but on top of that a great wife and mom and amazing person

OMG! That is the most horrible outfit I have ever seen - my 6 year old niece could put something better together. WHAT was she thinking?

Mr. Rabbit @ 10/17/2008 at 6:16 pm

The papers that count, #59? The only papers that count are all legit and respected publications and that’s more than just two. I’ll admit that they ‘condemned’ her but I won’t criticize their worth as legit publications.

Rebecca Miller is Daniel Day-Lewis’ wife, #81.

Are you calling ME a stalker, #81.

Who said that her family and friends weren’t there? An even if they weren’t, I’m sure there was a likelier explanation than that their families hate them.

Exactly, #88. It’s a catch-22 with critics.

My favorite aspect of the play was the direction actually, #92. That’s a shame. I will admit that the play is a bit outdated.

I’m sad that the play was panned by the Times but it’s a good paper nonetheless and silly to accuse it of some popularity bias which it seems you’re insinuating it has, #93.

There was nothing to re-ignite, #102. She wanted the acting credit.

Aniston is very famous and Paltrow slowed her career down to focus on her family, #103.

What does being supporting or lead have to do with anything, #106. A good performance is a good performance.

Prove that Cruise bought her the role or shut up, #117.

Holmes is NOTHING like Hilton, #119.

Just a rumor, #120.

I prefer the subtlety of film acting myself, #121.

That was a really mean review, #131.

A supporting role can still be a pivotal role, #134. It wasn’t a small role at all. The only small roles were the roles of Bert and the Lubeys.

Your opinion of Cruise is very faulty then if you believe that, #146.

Why compare to his ex at all, #159?

Get some ‘happy’ pills, #165.

For once, #167? She’s USUALLY seen happy and smiling.

Can you prove he bought her the part, #170? How do you know she married him just to boost her career?

I’m pretty sure that quite the opposite will happen and instead she’ll only become a bigger Hollywood player.

But she doesn’t look miserable all the time, #176.

Also, many critics have also said that she holds her own very well.

He’s not controlling, #179. Has there ever been anything to indicate that he is?

Costa rica girl @ 10/17/2008 at 6:43 pm

Mr Rabbit:

Of course he is controlling. Even Kidman alluded to it once in an interview with a legit publication.

You just see what you want to see when it comes to this family. I hope you have a doctor on call to help you through any emotional trauma their divorce brings.

disco spew @ 10/17/2008 at 7:05 pm

I knew she looked familiar…
she looks like the guy from Boney M in the clip The rivers of babylon.

Katie people stop dressing like that 30 years ago.

God bless her and
her family

sorry First,
if this is the Best she can do In a small role,and she cant do it Right ,What would have happened if she was in a leading role!!!!
nicole kidman in her broadway “The Blue Room,” she played five parts and earned decent reviews she even won a Theater World award ,it doesn’t matter how big the role is ? the matter is to Prove yourself and prove your talent .katie needs so much experience wich will come with age, so slow down katie no need to Rush.i`m
sure you have the talent But not yet shown .

Mr. Rabbit @ 10/17/2008 at 8:49 pm

They’re not divorcing and I’d like to see this quote from Kidman, #192. You keep saying he’s controlling yet Holmes seems to be able to do whatever she wants .

She did well enough and it wasn’t a small role, #196. Who cares of she wasn’t as good Kidman, a completely unrelated person?

She is so lovely.
Anonymous cult is just Nazi minded bigots. Nothing new, they are just stupid and discussing.

Mr Rabbit is Delusional @ 10/17/2008 at 9:36 pm

See Mr. Rabbit #191

He said: “The papers that count, #59? The only papers that count are all legit and respected publications and that’s more than just two. I’ll admit that they ‘condemned’ her but I won’t criticize their worth as legit publications.”

HMMMMMMM, THE NEW YORK THEATRE REVIEW and the NEW YPRK TIMES are being criticized as not being “legit” by Mr. Rabbit.

Rabbit’s desperation to defend Katie’s performance enters the sphere of the delusional.

Since the very beginnings of Broadway, each playwright, director, actor, investor has stood on the corner waiting for these two papers to ring the praises or the death Nelle of every show in New York City.

Rabbit, your transparent defenses have no credibility because you lack the knowledge of almost everything you write.

However, the above is the most ridiculous tripe you’ve produced yet!

Mr Rabbit is Delusional @ 10/17/2008 at 9:47 pm

Cruise isn’t controlling? ????!!!!!

Now THAT is funny.

I remember back in the beginning, she introduced herself as Katie on a news show, he corrected her!! He said “Kate” Then he told her parents he was changing her name to Kate!

He only ever referred to her as Kate on TV and through his publicist.

Katie still calls herself Katie as she has her entire life, as do her family and friends, Tom finally gave up!

If trying to change a person’s first name isn’t controlling, what is?

Yes, we know, you don’t agree, but then you are not objective.

How about changing her nose, her religion, making her drop out of movies, having the sex scenes cut from “Thank You For Not Smoking” .

He insists she has bodyguards, the Scientology minder who followed her EVERYWHERE for over a year.

Would you like an education Rabbit, find the one page W magazine interview with Katie and her handler. Jessica corrects Katie’s answers. Puts words in her mouth, prompts her to answer as Tom wishes her to answer.

It’s quite famous. Did you miss it or does it conflict with your version of Tom?

Well, Rabid Rabbit…does the shoe fit? Maybe I was referring to you, maybe not. As I’ve told you several times, you just keep on dreaming.

I never said Katie’s “support” not being there for her on OPENING NIGHT was due to hate…you idiot.
I implied something, and I thought it was easy to understand, but it’s either over your head, or you want to fuss with everyone because you can’t get la id.

Mr. Rabbit @ 10/17/2008 at 11:00 pm

That’s not what I said at all, #199. I was telling that person that those two papers weren’t the ONLY newspapers that ‘counted’ when reviewing. How did you get that I was criticizing those publications as not legit? Next time, try NOT seeing what you WANT to see.

He never tried to change her name. He referred to and still refers to her as ‘Kate’ but her legal and stage name was, is and always will be ‘Katie.’ I can’t believe you’re still on that.

She never had a nose job and even if she did, why blame him? He didn’t and couldn’t force her to convert and many other women and men convert to their spouse’s religions. He didn’t make her drop out of any movies. The Thank You for Smoking thing was a RUMOR that even Jason Reitman denied.

How do you know he insists on bodyguards? And lots of people have bodyguards.

I remember that interview too. You gotta stop accusing Cruise of being some puppet maste. That Scientologist friend or whatever that’s been gone for ages was probably just helping her through this whirlwind turn her life has taken.

What the hell are you talking about, #201. I don’t even understand.

GOTHAM LOVES KATIE HOLMES

Just my opinion @ 10/18/2008 at 12:53 am

Interesting how the day after opening night there are no photos of
Katie ANYWHERE. How convienient that when she wants she is
able to evade the press, and when she needs publicity she walks
right out the front door so the the press can write “Katie Holmes on
her way to rehearsals for Arthur Miller’s All My Sons.”

What does that say about her and Cruise using Suri to draw the press to them? They know exactly what they are doing to get publicity and
who the press is really interested in, Suri Cruise. Poor kid. So young
and being used by her parents to get in the celebrity blogs and rags
just to stay in the news.

Let’s just face facts here. These facts are:

1. The critics panned her performance in the show. The kindest words they could utter was “she did fine”. Which wouldn’t speak much of her acting skills.

2. That jumpsuit was “talk of the town” but not because it dazzled but because it is “different”. I guess we can say it was not warmly received. I don’t think that design will revolutionize fashion.

Katie’s “failure” on both the acting department and the designing department cannot be attributed on anybody else but herself. It definitely cannot be blamed on Tom Cruise. Katie is not a good actress. period. She doesn’t have much fashion sense. period. All her own doing. Don’t pass the back to somebody else.

You are absolutely right. Katie sure avoided the PR today. Ha ha ha
I really believe she convinced herself that she is as good as Lithgow, Wiest, and Wilson. Know she knows the TRUTH. She could have saved herself alot of grief if she would read JJ and other sites. It’s obvious after reading most of the reviews that she was given the role because she is considered a FREAK that other people like to look at just like they would a freakish attraction at a carnival.

I’ve said all along that she was in denial because she thought all of the attention she’s been getting was based on her talent, not because she is a weirdo. Maybe the truth will bring her back down to earth.

If the bad reviews weren’t enough, she’s really finished herself off with that bimbo untalented singing and dancing number in the soon-to-be canceled series, Eli Stick. If she has an ounce of credibility after last night’s opening, she’s about to trash it next week when her stunt casted appearance airs.

I don’t know who’s giving this girl advice, but she’s really stupid to put herself in the roles she has lately. I’ll say this is her last Broadway play. If she had any backbone, she would remove herself from All My Sons. I’m certain the true actors in this play would appreciate it. She has made a joke of the entire production.

Katie “stunt casted” Homely. Her name is getting longer and longer!

Is she going for the “I Dream of Jeannie” look with this outfit? Maybe it’s the Katie Homely, I Dream of Xenu collection. LOL

Poor Suri, she doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell……..I feel sorry for that poor innocent little girl. The things she will learn when she grows up. It’s good that she is already a “strong woman.” She will handle the truth much better that way. LOL

———————————————–

So now it’s “patriotic” to be a raving lunatic over Katie? Sheesh. These fanatical fans get more and more delusional with each post. Its obvious that most of them (including those who mention Anonymous) are all the same person.

Anyone who is moronic enough to equate Anonymous to the Nazi’s and the KKK when all they are doing is excercizing their right to protest a cult that kills people and damages the lives of many is truly sick. It’s Scientology that is more like the Nazi’s. They’re the ones who want to rid the world of all psychiatrists and anyone who doesn’t agree with them - not Anonymous. This fanatic freaks needs an education…..but then again, why would they learn about Scientology. That would ruin their delusion!!

The fact is the best any critic could manage is that Holmes didn’t embarrass herself. The worst is that she can’t act. She also can’t design clothing as evidenced by the horrendous outfit. She’s a joke and her fake husband is a laughingstock.

Not the slightest surprise to me, Rabbit.

You can spell and you have decent diction, but you live in a haze and when someone bounces one off your head, it confuses you.

*yawn*

Just my opinion @ 10/18/2008 at 4:06 am

#210: I agree with you. But I really think she was DESPERATE for
this role or any role. Don’t forget the writer’s strike earlier in the year
postponed a lot of movies. I read she was ready to star in a movie
with some B actors but that movie was having problems getting
financed and Katie found herself without work and restless to work.

I think when the movie Mad Money bombed, that also ENDED her
dream of starting a fashion line with Giorgio Armani. There were
rumors she was gonna start a child’s fashion line and Suri would be
her muse. I believe she was interested in a fashion line (whether for
children or women) but this plan was OVER when her movie Mad
Money failed at the box office. That movie proved she could not “open”
a movie.

After Mad Money, the next thing you read was that Katie was looking
for work, she audtioned and lost out in a role in the upcoming
movie “Nine,” based on the popular Broadway muscial. Nicole
Kidman and Penelope Cruz both won parts in the movie version
which is filming right now in London.

Many people have commented that Cruise is a silent partner in this
play All My Sons and that is how Katie the role of Ann Deaver. She
probably pressured him to get her this role. Whatever demands she
made on him, they worked because she got this role.

And the weeks leading to opening night, we all witnessed Katie
walking in and out of rehearsals that one began to sense that maybe
she was gonna to well. The night previews began Cruise was ranting and raving that she was EXTRAORDINARY, she was AMAZING. Well he seems to be the only one that thinks that.

A lot of the critics really panned her performance and although the
outfit she was wearing to her opening night after party has nothing
to do with her performance, it only served to make her look completely
ridiculous. She could have chosen any designers dress to wear in
this important evening. Most designers are happy to send you a couple of dresses to chose from, but she chose to wear this ridiculous design. And to make matters worse, we find out that she is the designer of this horrendous outfit.

This opening night evening revealed a lot to the public: Katie thinks
she is a great actress AND she thinks she is a great fashion designer. Tonight she revealed she is completely DELUSIONAL
and there is no one in her inner circle to tell her the truth. Probably
everyone around her is on Cruise’s payroll.

Next week she guest stars on Eli Stone. I’ve seen the clips of her
singing and all I can say is she is not going to leave an impressionable image with the public and entertainment industry
producer.

Just my opinion @ 10/18/2008 at 4:19 am

I predict the disappointing reviews for All My Sons is going to put a lot of pressure on her marriage. Right now Cruise IS struggling in his career. He used to be a big box office draw but that \was a while ago. He’s struggling with the release of Valkire and his public image is in shreds, and now to be married to someone that is is not hitting a HOMERUN might make him feel like its time to change partners. But if they split, it will be interesting to see who gets custody of Suri. I don’t know that he is the biological father but at this point it doesn’t matter, he has publicly said it over and over again that Suri is his. He’s not gonna start back peddling and so I think Katie will be in for a fight to keep Suri.

Cruise likes to project success, youthful energy, achievements,
happiness, health, compassion for humanity and being married to
someone who seems to be failing in her career is not something he
is going to tolerate for long. Her movie Mad Money bombed, she’s
being panned in All My Sons. I hear she has a jean fashion line
coming out with an unknown designer (NOT Armani). If that fails
I think it will be curtains for their marriage. I don’t think Cruise will
like to be married to someone that is not successful. Her only
salvation is to be 100% indoctrinated in Scientology and raise Suri
that way and don’t make any waves. And even then, Cruise might
pull the run from under her feet the same way he did with Nicole
Kidman.

Just my opinion 215#

I agree with you completely

First of all the outfit ,worked so hard and Today is my big night, and all the media and fans will focus on me so i better be good not just good but perfect And I ended up wearing this What the hell I was thinking,If you want to convince people that you are a fashion designer and all your designs are not Chic or elegant no one is gonna believe you

Today is the opening Night ,All critics will say their opinions about my performance so i better be good not just good but perfect Specially when it comes to my career And I ended up with a Weak performance How can i persuad any producer that i`m so good for any role ,no one is gonna believe me

the Last thing I want to say( Eli Stone),I want to convince Producers that i have a musical talent and I can sing whih sexy movements i ended up with a Weak performance didn`t show my sex appeal But shown that my voice needs a hugh work to be just fine

Just my opinion 215#
i have Question for you!!!!!

Do you think that Tom Cruise has nothing to do with nicole or Penelope parts in nine ??so strange, these two will work together
ironicly nicole will play the wife and Penelope the Mistress i heard that they will sing 2 songs together wow

my take on this @ 10/18/2008 at 9:27 am

Speaking of Nicole and Penelope, I don’t think they are mean people in that they would enjoy watching the Fall of Tom Cruise; however, they must be quite entertained yet shocked over who Tom selected as the 3rd “mrs cruise”. They must enjoy the “spectacle” of the carnival show that is Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.

I suppose one could say that Tom Cruise was out of his league when he was with both Kidman and Cruz. Both of these talented women are strong-willed, gorgegous and intelligent . Neither of them would have allowed him to control every aspect of their lives like Holmes will. That’s the difference between someone who is confident and has backbone vs. someone that just rolls over when their integrity and core values are tested. Holmes is nothing more than a high class hooker and a doormat.

Lest not we forget about Mimi Rogers. Yes, unfortunately it was her family that introduced Tom to the cult. Neither she or her father belongs to the cult any longer. Despite her previous ties with the cult, I think she is a classy person just like Nicole and Penelope.

I know I still shake my head sometimes. Tom Cruise and Who? Katie Holmes. I think everyone is still in shock that he ever gave this girl the time of day. She may not be a good actress, but she sure acted her way into Tom Cruise’s bank account. Neither Nicole, Penelope nor Mimi needed his $$. They are all self-sufficient and go-getters!

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like Tom Cruise but I believe he sealed his fate when he got involved with Holmes. He may have been the same arrogant and obnoxious person when he was with Mimi, Nicole, and Penelope but he hid it well.

There is obviously a contract between the two because Tom would have dumped Katie Holmes by now. His whole life has crumbled since he started his “relationship” with her. Their insincerity is obvious. When he does dump her, she will have to spend every cent that she has made being a beard to fight for Suri!

I don’t believe that Suri is Tom’s but I do believe he will end up with custody of her. I think this will be a highly publicized split and custody battle. Katie Holmes will be reduced to mincement. Tom Cruise is obviousy the better parent. Katie doesn’t take care of Suri and her attempt at some type of career is noticeably more important.

Comparing Nicole and Penelope (and Mimi) to Katie is like comparing a Lamborghini, Ferrari, and Rolls Royce to a Ford Escort.

oh my gosh…Katie is beautiful yet her beauty comes to a waste when she decides to wear weird clothes…

Nothing more true has ever spoken.

who compared katie t \o Nicole and Penelope? It’s always the haters that compare the women, and then say that people shouldn’t compare them.
um…ok

A lot of Katie’s haters are so vicious, evil, jealous, and have very low moral values, like their favorite star angelina, what’s is so wrong with katie’s outfit, it looks very fit and beautiful on her, she looks so elegant and regal not trashy like the comments above who have trashy taste. Katie go on with good work, bravo!!!!!!

katie you have a classy taste, you are so creative and so many comments here are so jealous of your success in carreer and family, you have a very very beautiful daughter. so many out there are so jealous of you.

i have a ford escort

#225 - You may have a Ford Escort but you are clueless if you did not understand the comparison.

Duh!

I guess its just you and me babe, lovin katie for who she is.. what she has done and not just what she WEARS, I also applaud her for being different. I think she looks great, long or short hair, self designed clothing or store bought, she IS Katie Holmes and I think she did a great job. GO KATIE

She must think that trashy looking outfit is a REAL HIT that will have the likes of Lagerfeld, Westwood, Versace etc all sitting up and taking notice for her to be wearing it on the red carpet. What a twit.

hot in my eyes

It is a problem when a show casts WELL KNOWN name rather than TALENT. Kathie Holmes has no talent whatsoever. All she has is cuteness — since day 1, married to Tom Cruise or not, she got no talent. She was hardly cast in anything significant before Tom Cruise.
They should have cast a more talented person for that role. But hey, they need the bucks I guess. Sad, sad.

Just from the brief clips of the play, it is obvious that she is exaggerating the character. She is very, very unnatural.

Im going to NYC next month. I will be seeing Jersey Boys and Gypsy. I wouldn’t waste my money donating to the cult of Alientology. Besides, I would probably have to walk out or puke in my seat watching Homely.

If she weren’t in All My Sons, I would go. The actors in this play must feel blindsided by her presence. As one of the major critics said, she is tabloid material, the others are serious veterans of both Broadway and the movies.

It must really be difficult to know that you have to go on stage through January 2009 when no one takes Homely seriously and knows she was stunt-casted. It’s pretty darn sad that the director, McBurney, doesn’t consider himself a director good enough to produce a play without having to resort to such tactics as stunt casting.

If I were Katie Homely, I would probably not want to come out of hiding either.

Just my opinion @ 10/18/2008 at 4:12 pm

If I were Katie, I would feel bad/sad because I am sure she read the
reviews and the part of “stunt casting.” That means “the director didn’t
really feel she was talented for the part but wouldn’t completely
damage the role.”

I were her I would feel USED not only by him but betrayed by those
that surround me because they didn’t have the “cojones” to tell her
the truth. And this is confirmed by the horrid outfit she wore on opening night. I almost feel she wore this ugly design to rebel against
Armani and other designers who probably turned down her invitation
to attend this evening. She probably thought “no more free publicity
for your designs (Armani), but the one that ended up looking foolish
was Katie. She looked delusional.

Splash online just posted pictures of her arriving to the theater yesterday but none leaving her apartment. I find it interesting that
she was able to evade the press and when she wants she is photographed leaving, coming, do this or that. All for PR reasons
obviously.

What the Paps said @ 10/18/2008 at 4:42 pm

x17online.com has a video of Katie arriving, as soon as she exits the SUV, they say “hideous dress”, but as she moves closer in they beging their screaming, “youi’re beautiful, Katie, gorgeous, Katie, loer here Katie”. The moron beleives what they say, she obviously doesn’t read Jared or have any honest feedback.

How do you think Cruise ended up so bizarre, no one ever tells him the truth about anything.

You are right 232 and 233. She is delusional. So is Tom. Remember right after the first preview Tom said she was “extraordinary”. Well, he’s right about that but not in a good way.

Katie obviously lives in an isolated shell. She is never pictured alone with any body except TC or Suri. She doesn’t know what is going on in the real world because she chooses to avoid reality. The picture she “paints” in her mind is alot more pleasant than reality.

Just my opinion @ 10/18/2008 at 5:19 pm

#233: Yes, the press and papparrazi are like a pack of hounds. They
butter up their subject only to get the “money shot” regardless if they
are using that person or laughing at that person. At this point in the
evening, Katie still thought “I’ve arrived, look at me.” The only problem
is that people were in disbelief at what she was wearing. Her
arrogance and isolation was paramount, she thought “a star is born,
not only did I give a great performance but I debuted my own design
tonight.” She looked foolish. Yes, I believe Katie lives in a very
controlled and isolated world and that’s what Suri can also expect
if Katie stays with Cruise. Only I think it will be Cruise leaving Katie
NOT the other way around. I think she must realize she became more popular because she married Cruise and because she is the
mother of Suri Cruise. Forbes recently said that Suri is a top seller
when it comes to selling magazines. Something not even Katie
or Cruise can do and this little girl is only 2.5 years old. I truly fell
bad for Suri.

WHYYY… why does she dress like a 55 year old woman! She’s young and should take advantage of that! Whoever her stylist is should be back handed.

Mr. Rabbit @ 10/18/2008 at 6:58 pm

But you just said that they’re famous enough that they don’t need their daughter to draw them, #208? I don’t think not being caught by the paparazzi for a day when they’re likely not even outside is an indication of great evasion tactics.

Actually#209, her reviews are generally favorable. They’ve been mostly good-not-great and some have been bad-not-terrible.

Thanks for not blaming everything on Cruise.

Aren’t you the nasty one, #210.

They have the right to speak out against anything, #213. But the way they’re handling it makes them look attention-starved and self-righteous.

Just explain to me what you were talking about, #214. I’ll listen but I just didn’t get what you were trying to say.

A star of her popularity would never be desperate fora role but the strike did lead to an upcoming movie getting cancelled, #215.

What does a movie’s box office take have to do with a fashion line? Also, that fashion line stuff was a rumor that her camp denied.

I’m pretty sure that the Nine audition thing was all a rumor by the NY Post. Demi Moore was also supposed to have auditioned for a role.

You overstate the negative reviews. She did much better than you’re saying she did.

Cruise isn’t struggling in his career, #216 and Holmes reviews haven’t been that bad.

I highly doubt that two will split because a partner got bad reviews (which she didn’t). How shallow would CRuise have to be to dump his loving wife for such superficial reasons?

Of course he has nothing to do with Nine, #217. It’s just a coincidence.

Holmes is all of that too, #218. Is this all because she converted? She has a right to do so and it has nothing to do with lacking a backbone.

Why do people keep saying that Cruise controls her life when there’s nothing to back it up? First she was forced into retirement and then she did a movie. Then she was forced into only bad movies and then she did a great play. What else is next?

Rogers is no longer a Scientologist? Really?

Why do you keep accusing her of being a gold digger and not Kidman? I don’t think both are gold diggers but why the double standard.

He was never and still isn’t an arrogant and obnoxious person. Why would he have dumped her by now? Because she’s not as successful as you think he’d like her to be?

They’re not breaking up, Cruise is the father and Holmes obviously cares about her daughter since she’s since with her all the time.

Go ahead, #231. Don’t see it for yourself. Be narrow-minded. There’s no law against that.

(Ever considered that McBurney legitimately cast her because he thought she was talented?)

Are you aware that all you said was total conjecture and can’t prove that Holmes is mad and sad, is rebelling, invitations weren’t accepted and all that, #232? Right?

Why WOULDN’T she want to be photographed leaving her apartment if she does control the paparazzi?

Or maybe she just made a bad dress decision this time and continues not caring what other people think, #233. I’d rather that she kept wearing lousy clothes than have her choices dictated by strangers on the internet say.

She’s delusional because she’s has self-confidence, #234.

Again people ‘conveniently’ miss pics with other people besides herself, Cruise and her daughter.

How the hell did you get she was arrogant and isolated just because she wore a lousy dress, #235?!

They don’t use their daughter. They’re famous enough.

For those who don’t think Katie and Tom use Suri for PR….

I have seen dozens of photos of Suri looking miserable with her head down, hands over her ears, and Katie (or Tom) keeps smiling like everything is fine. Have you ever seen another parent smile when their child is in distress?

Just my opinion @ 10/18/2008 at 8:07 pm

The reason I say Katie had a fashion design in the pipeline and that
was gonna ride on the success of the movie Mad Money was because
a lot of celebrities do this. When Jennifer Lope became successful
she released a movie: Wedding Planner, an album, and a perfume
all together. Then she opened her restaurant Madre’s in Pasadena,
started a clothing line, and another perfume, etc. We all know she
probably made a SMALL contribution in the clothing line and perfume
scents but it had her name because she was HOT at the time. People
went to her restaurant because they wanted to feel a part of J Lo’s
world. If they like it, they’ll come back. Nothing gained curiosity satisfied.

A lot of celebrities have clothing lines: Jaclyn Smith, J Lo, Gwen Stefani, Victoria Beckman, Martha Stewart, Sean Combs, etc.

I believe Katie was gonna jump on this bandwagon also with either
a clothing line for children (with Suri as her muse) or a woman’s line.
None came to fruition because her movie bombed. What does a
movie have to do with a fashion line? If the starts are hot, you give
then another glance, many pay a few more bucks at what they are
selling.

Would you buy anything from Tara Reid? I don’t think so because she
is not hot, she has been portrayed as a boozing, partying hard OVER,
celebrity.

But would you consider joining Jenny Craig if Valerie Bertinelli or
Queen Latifah were promoting the brand? Maybe because both are
well liked celebrities.

Katie was surprised when Mad Money bombed. She probably was
surprised when the tough New York Critics panned her performance.
And just about every celebrity blog, or entertainment show commented
on her “interesting outfit.”

To get endorsements, or start fashion lines or perfumes you have to
have a fan base that is willing to take a chance on your product and
they will do so because they like the celebrity. If the are repeast customers its because maybe they like the product. But the celebrity
is the draw to the product.

Just my opinion @ 10/18/2008 at 8:10 pm

And the press is a double edged sword, they will photograph you
at your best and your worse. They are going for the “money shot”
not you.

to the haters that make me proud you have a very hot VIP room in hell.

Why is this beautiful young woman dressing and making herself look like she’s in her 40’s? I’m the same age as her and would never be caught dead in something so God awful.

she got money and NO taste.

Mr. Rabbit @ 10/18/2008 at 11:20 pm

Maybe they’re trying keep her relaxed, #238? And how is smiling proof of anything? If they were the PR geniuses, they’d just use better ways of getting her pictures out there if the publicity was so negative.

Holmes has always been interested in fashion and now has the capital to start a line, #239.

How can you possibly begin to know what Holmes was thinking when her film was released? How can you know ANY of this from her motives to starting a fashion line to her feelings on just about everything?

That’s the problem with critics. You pretend to be able to read people’s minds. It’s crazy.

You’re right that a celebrity needs to be popular for a line to sell but every single thing you said about her motives for starting a line, her plans for a line, her expectations for a line is complete guesswork.

Pretty face. FUGLY outfit! What the hell was she thinking?

a real gifted actress

a beauty inside and out

From head to toe this is a serious fashion disaster! NOTHING about it remotely works. Come on Katie! You rocked some major looks in LA , get back to it !!

Terrible outfit!!! She used to have a nicer taste for clothing!

She has a slim, tall figure and her youth, yet she chooses to dress in clothes the Golden Girls would wear. She looks 40.

I DON’T MIND IT, I THINK SHE ACTUALLY LOOKS QUIET GOOD

THEY’RE ARE ONLY A FEW PEOPLE THAT CAN GET AWAY WITH SOMETHING LIKE THIS, AND KATIE DOES!

AT LEAST SHE WEARS WHAT SHE WANTS TO WEAR, NOT WHAT YOU WANT HER TO WEAR!

SHE ALSO HAS SUCH A SPECTACULAR FACE AND GORGEOUS VOICE! LOVE HER :D

GO GO GO GO KATIE LOVE YA GIRL

Tom should have stopped her nothing else to put on seriously ! and yea she does look a lot older she’s only 29
