Tom Cruise And Katie Holmes Are Officially Divorced


And just like that it is over. The marriage that Katie Holmes would last 100 lifetimes or as long as the checks kept coming has ended after a New York judge signed off on the final agreement ending the couple's five year marriage. Tom has had some photo ops the past few days and let it be known that he has dropped 14 pounds since Katie abandoned their marriage. That is the word of choice this week. Katie abandoned the marriage. So, how fast does Tom move on to someone new or is this an indication that he is going to play the martyr card for a little bit and just be single? You know what we have never really seen from Tom? Dating. There was that time after he and Nicole Kidman split that he kind of tried but each date was like a tryout for a relationship rather than just dating for dating. What he needs to do to make himself appear human is to go out on some dates and get some stories written about him in the tabloids that make it seem like he is dating lots of women. He won't though because he is socially awkward when it comes to dating women. He does have a very big checkbook though and probably a fleet of willing SeaOrg volunteers who would love to get out of doing whatever it is they are scheduled to do for the next billion years of their contracts.

  1. He absolutely needs to pick a SeaOrg chick from the row of cages---think of how thankful she will be to get sunlight and no more gruel!

  2. This makes me so sad. When I worked with Tom he was always so kind to the other actors and crew. Knowing how Tom is, I'm sure he'll get through this.

  3. Maybe he can date Shelly!

  4. I bet it won't be more than a year. He needs someone to gush over him in public again.

  7. Thank god Penelope Cruz escaped this fate. She is my gal crush

    Libby (great to see you!) has it right -- he needs to choose a Seaborg chick this time.

  8. I just got back from the drugstore where I saw the cover of US or some other celeb. mag. on the cover was the newly slim Jenny Garth with the headline about how she lost 20 or so pounds in just a few weeks. (paraphrase). and "How I did it!"

    clearly it was the divorce that did it, and most likely finding that her husband was cheating on her. its called suffering. it often makes one stop eating. but someone in the universe of the tabloid/celeb mags, its a good thing.

  9. I was amazed yesterday that Enty went out on a limb to say that Katie was 'not kind' (Or, to quote directly, 'No kindnesses from her, ever.") And today he says she was just looking for a check. Whatever happened to Saint Katie? Is Enty also a Scientology plant?

    @Amber I was really biting my tongue to not say anything about the name dropping. I don't read through all the comments enough to know which users are real and which are parodies, I just know that it looked very familiar by name and content. Now I'm laughing even harder.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Whenever I look at him, I look at the wire cage in his brows that keep his face in place. Most aging men rely on Restylane and Botox, but Cruise has wire knitted through his brows and brow muscles to keep them from sagging, according to an old plastic surgery gossip site I used to read.

    ReplyDelete
  12. @Nutty_Flavor noticed that too. also in the random photos he made a comment about her wearing the same shoes, doesnt seem like his usual tone w/Katie.

  13. Diana--love the Oliver Twist reference.

    But if he wants a no-mess beard, he needs a fellow $ci. They're already under contract!


    (Hi Seachica. Nice to see you too. Thanks!)

  14. Just curious - how is it even legally possible to be divorced in two months (in the U.S.)? Don't you have to get the decree nisi and then the decree absolute, which usually takes about six months?

    ReplyDelete

    @libby Which is why she would want more photo ops otherwise it's a Sea Org's life for she.

    There are so many examples of slavery that still exist in this world that it's really hard to believe. I wonder if we'll ever be rid of it. Probably not. Corrupt religions, corrupt governments, corrupt corporations, corrupt people. Scientology encompasses all four.

  16. surfer - I got divorced in 2012. I filed the papers at the end of June, did all of the paper work myself, and by the end of July we were officially "dissolved". It only cost me $400!

  17. I mean 2010, not 2012 lol

    @surfer I was wondering the same thing. Perhaps they had already started proceedings and she released it to the press earlier than they'd decided or they were never legally married in the first place. Don't know, don't hang out with those people. Scared.

    ReplyDelete
  19. The New York statutes have a 120 days timetable -- I'm not a lawyer, but it seems that in an uncontested divorce, the parties are divorced quite swiftly. Custody arrangements must be something to work out later and elsewhere? Fuzzy on the law here.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Wow, Amber. I thought six months was considered quick. Live and learn, I guess.

    ReplyDelete
  21. @surfer - divorce laws vary from state to state. In Georgia it took me about 3 months.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Diana---you are so right about slavery right under our noses! I was talking with a friend last night, and I was THRILLED that knew about $ci slavery. They have gotten away with it for so long!

    On that note, "The Master" film is coming SOOOOOON! squeeeee! Joaquin looks so good in the trailers!

  23. @Barton - shut up! Implanted wires? That's the craziest shit ever - and I totally believe it.

    Amber - I'm also enjoying our new friend. I tried to have a friendly chat with the original on a thread yesterday, and was shut down immediately, so, rock on, parody person, rock on.

  24. If you have kids in Michogan and want to get divorced there's a mandatory 6 month waiting period plus u have to go through a parenting class. My ex had to do the class even though his ex wife took off for Florida and abandoned the kids

    I am enjoying as well. I tried to give girlfriend a chance, but she's so mean for no reason. I subscribe to all the posts at once, and then I can read grouped comments throughout the day on my phone when I have a sec. Whenever I see a bunch from her, i call them her "drive-by kicks in the chiclets". They'll be 8 insults in a row!

  29. Oh! Agent! I'm so excited for Joaquin...in the trailers you can SEE (his character's) thoughts running through his head...the acting is silent, with just his EYES.

    He doesn't have TWO Oscar noms for nothing! So happy he's back!

  33. Personally, I think it's assholy to be a blatant troll. If you have a problem with someone, or want to mock them, don't hide behind a "parody" (we all know it's not really a "parody", it's just being a dick) do it under your screen name. If you're big enough to mock, you should be big enough to take any resulting backlash.

    You all may think whocares is an ass, but I think she's had a lot of interesting insights into the industry.

    I would also point out that you only think it's funny because whocares isn't a "favorite". If this was you, Amber or Frufra who became "onamobile", hell would rain down upon the "parody" and it would be called out for what it is.

    Flame away.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I'm here every day, but not much afternoons.....if someone wishes to explain the whocaresnow drama, I would appreciate it.

    Is whocaresnow normally a troll, and this is a parody troll, or what? I admit I don't check comment threads after 4PM, usually.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Lola - I would be entertained if somebody parodied me; I can laugh at myself. I'm not so self-important as to think someone would waste their time doing such a thing. If this inspires YOU to do so, that's fine.

    That being said, I do agree that whocares has added some interesting things/theories into the mix (which I welcome), though sometimes the delivery/attitude is not very nice. However, I think the parody is funny, and will continue to be entertained.

    1. @ Amber - this. It seems like someone's taking the piss and while clever, is harmless amusement. I'm not seeing a need to jump on some cyber bullying train here.

  36. Whocaresnow is someone who says she works in the industry and often shares her insights. Some people her mock her contention that she is in the industry and call her out as a liar.

    Apparently someone thought it would be funny to ake it a step further and publicly mock/shame another poster perhaps to make them feel so unwelcome as to not return.

    It is mean and uncalled for. Whether you believe her or not is beside the point.

    And did anyone ever think she's not nice because of the reception she got when she first came here?

    ReplyDelete
  37. No way, Lola. I don't want to flame anyone. Seriously. It's just making me giggle is all. I agree that whocares has insight, but you have to admit that person can sometimes take themselves a little too seriously. I think that's why today's new person is cracking me up.

    I am totally against "hell raining down" on anybody. I just do this for fun. My normal occupation is much less interesting, and this site is just loads of fun for me.

    @libby, not a troll, but just sort of a buzz kill sometimes is all. She has her right to say whatever, as do we all. Yay free speech!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Amber, if it wasn't mean spirited and bullying, I would agree with you. This "parody", as you call it, is mean spirited. Nothing more, nothing less.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Sorry, I know I'm new, but I'm going to share a rant with all of you (how lucky you all must be).

    This just enrages me because it's another example of how much easier it is to be a celeb in so many different facets. I live in NYC and just got my divorce finalized after the paperwork sat in a pile for 8 months. If only I was a bagillionaire, perhaps I could have been divorced in a timely manner, too.

  40. Frufra & Lola - I feel like "hell raining down" on anyone in the comments section of a blog would be weird and dramatic. Maybe I just let things go more easily than other people do. And for the record, I don't believe I've ever been mean or not receptive to said party. Feel free to go back through and verify.

  41. @Amber - you are marked down in my book as universally kind to everyone you interact with here. Carry on, funny lady!

  42. @Amy in MI, when my husband and his ex got divorced here in Michigan 7 years ago, it only took 4 months...? And they had 2 young kids and a business, but they agreed to terms and no one contested anything.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Oh come ON, of COURSE Tom dates! He just doesn't do it publicly. Nor with females.

    I too have noticed the odd anti-Katie tone lately. I especially thought the "same shoes for the last 5 days" comment was weird...for one thing, you couldn't even see the shoes in that pic! So it was like Enty/FauxEnty was just making something up. Hmmm.

    Where's Steppy?

    ReplyDelete
  44. Jumping on the mocking bandwagon when the person being mocked is not even around to defend is mean. How would you feel if you came on and saw that and saw that loads of other people mocked you all day? Would it make you feel good...even if you were ultimately able to ignore it?

    It's like in high school when the popular girls mock the unpopular girls...the people who laugh at the meanness (even when they aren't the ones actually saying anything) are as much a part of the problem as the ones actually doing the mocking.

    I can take/ignore shit also. That doesn't mean it's nice or okay.

    ReplyDelete
  45. And Amber, I actually quite like you.

    I just think this is mean.

  47. I'VE been called out as a liar, by a regular here. Someone who sticks a bit too closely to 'Statement Analysis' (a police lie-detection technique).
    I say 'too closely', because I often drop pronouns in conversation as an AFFECT, not a LIE. Especially when trying to keep my voluminous comments shorter.

    If anyone doesn't understand what I'm talking about, it's cool. But the person who called me out, I normally like. But they are WAY uptight and like to tell everyone that they're wrong about everything. I am empathetic to folks who NEED to be the know-it-all, though, as I have my own problems and prefer to ignore others' issues.

    Thanks for the update on whocaresnow, though. I miss the drama here usually.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Libby, people jump on me too and really, it's cool...like others, I can defend myself. If they are responding to me, I have a chance to say, "screw you." it's the reason I have never said this when whocares is directly challenged...she is capable of defending herself (I assume) and it is a direct one-on-one debate.

    That is not what this is imo. This isn't, "you're wrong" or "I don't believe you." This is mocking and mean spirited.

    (and sorry for the typos in these posts, this computer's keyboard has sticky keys)

    ReplyDelete
  49. Lord knows I'm a know-it-all at times...it comes from living your life defending yourself against daily interrogation by lawyers.

    Honestly, if I've called you or anyone else out, it's not personal. Okay, with one or 2 people, it's personal. But generally, I like most people around here just fine.

    I am fairly new to posting here, always a lurker previously, but I agree with everything you've said. Generally everyone is nice here, but I have noticed there is a group of "cool kids" who tend to get a little rankled if anyone dares disagree with them. And most jump to the defense of the other immediately. A little Jr High at times.
    No offense. just observation.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Lola--it wasn't you. If you did, I didn't see it. It's cool. Call me out for what I actually say or do---that's fine. But to claim someone is outright lying--someone you don't know, WAY across the country? smh

    It was something that happened during my serving career---Downtown Indianapolis, where all the celebs are 'just' sports related.

    It IS annoying to suddenly have to defend what really happened to you. I'm too lazy to lie (except by omission, out of niceness/peacekeeping)---too much work keeping stories straight. I could never keep track of which lies I told where.

    ReplyDelete
  54. @Amber, Frufra, Sunny & Lola how do any of you know that it is a parody of whocaresnow? I read along everyday just like most of you but I am just not following this? Maybe it's because once I read and possibly respond to comments - that is it for me I don't think about it anymore because in reality it doesn't matter - we are just voices on a computer screen that people either like or don't! What am I missing?

  63. I know that I am a newbie but that doesn't make my opinion any less valid. I generally find poking fun at someone funny. People should have a sense of humor about themselves. However, this is clearly going to a level that is beyond funny and people are taking it personal. Can we just give it a rest and get back to gossiping about celebrities and their fucked up lives?

  64. @Lite and @lola, agreed. I also find it distasteful when one poster - or group of posters - goes after another like villagers with pitchforks and torches.

    Anyway, back to Tom and Katie. It is, indeed, interesting that the early prohibition against smack about Katie seems to be melting away.

    Around about July, anyone who disagreed with the Evil Tom and Victim Katie scenario was dismissed as a Scientology troll - myself included, although that was by the angry ladies on Celebitchy, who are on some distant planet when it comes to this case. (They were INFURIATED when Tom took his daughter to Disney World after the divorce. What a horrible father!)

    I sort of believe in the New York Magazine version of the story - http://www.vulture.com/2012/07/katie-holmes-cruise-has-left-the-building.html - which was basically that they did both have agendas and also both loved each other.

    According to the article, he's a not-very-bright but highly energetic guy looking for a pretty girl who will put up with him, while she was an ambitious actress happy to have a romance with someone she thought would take her to the next career level. Real marriage, real disappointments, real divorce.
