Katie Holmes Banished To Scientology Camp?

Tom Cruise recently forced Katie Holmes to spend three days in seclusion at Gold Base, the remote, supersecret Scientology compound in Hemet, CA. 

A "Scientology insider" revealed to Star that Katie's stay consisted of

"...various tests, confession sessions, tons of reading and physically challenging purification processes.   Tom insists that auditing and purification practices are incredibly beneficial to Scientologists at all levels."

Katie has reportedly been subjected to sessions that "have lasted for 36 hours straight — with little sleep or food."

The magazine says that Katie's plans to take a Broadway role have caused Tom to step up her Scientology training recently. 

Please don't get me wrong:  I am ALL for people practicing religion the way they want to, but if there is even a shred of truth to these reports, this is just plain abusive.  I am scared for poor little Suri!

Katie Holmes Is Starving Herself

There's been a lot around the celebrity blogosphere lately about Katie Holmes idolizing Posh Spice.  We've all heard about Katie adopting Posh's 900-calorie daily diet regimen.  We've read about the seaweed shakes and edamame.   And we see the results:  Incredibly Shrinking - and Sick - Katie.   

I'm shocked to hear myself saying this, but I'm with Tom Cruise on this one.  Especially when I read things like this:

Recently, a fellow diner gave Life & Style magazine a rundown of her light lunch at L.A.’s Osteria Mozza. “She had only steamed asparagus as an appetizer, then a tiny plate of chilled beets for her entrée.” The onlooker added, “She seemed a bit hungry, actually. Poor thing!”

Katie Noelle Holmes! That's not a meal - that's not even a snack!  In this instance and this instance only, I'm going to advise you to listen to your damn husband and stay the hell away from Posh Beckham.   First she'll make you get all skinny, then she'll convince you to get a bad boob job, then she'll turn you into a huge fashion mistake, and next thing you know you'll be transformed into a perfect little Posh-ette.   And THEN you'll have to act like a total bitch and pose with your neck cricked all the time, and that can't possibly be any fun.  Anyway, Suri needs her mom to be healthy - and THAT'S the best reason to stop this insanity.

Katie Holmes Debuts New 'Do

Katie Holmes has a new haircut!  It's still basically the same bob, but she's gone much shorter.  It's still really cute, but I like this iteration better.

What do you think - do you agree that she's starting to look more and more like Tommy Girl?

Katie Holmes Sets Her Sights On Broadway

E! News reports that Katie Holmes has been in discussions to take a starring role in an Arthur Miller revival.

Katie would play the lead in the Tony Award-winning drama "All My Sons" in her Broadway debut.

Holmes would play Ann Deever, a young and vivacious woman whose pilot beau, Larry Keller, went missing in World War II. Having fallen in love with his brother, Chris, and knowing that it was the actions of Larry's father, Joe, that led to his death, Ann tries to convince the young men's mother that Larry is not going to be coming home.

Katie's done some decent work:  she was awesome in Pieces of April, and really good in Thank You For Smoking.  But does a career that consists mostly of playing Joey Potter prepare an actor to play with the likes of Dianne Wiest and John Lithgow?  If I were Katie and faced with co-stars of that caliber I'd be messing my shorts!
