built 137 days ago
The book, which is scheduled to be released later this month, alleges that Katie Holmes was impregnated, a la Rosemary's Baby, with the preserved semen of deceased Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. It ... says that Mr. Cruise’s ex-wife, Nicole Kidman, “feared blackmail” over auditing tapes she made with Scientologists in which she discusses her sex life. Moreover, Mr. Morton writes that Mr. Cruise is the second most powerful person in the church’s hierarchy; and, according to the book, he now plans to recruit soccer phenom David Beckham to the religion.

Katie Holmes was among the tens of thousands of runners participating in Sunday's New York City Marathon, finishing the race in 5 hours, 29 minutes and 58 seconds. Husband Tom Cruise and their daughter, Suri, were at the finish line to congratulate the actress, according to event officials. Holmes had registered under an alias so she wouldn't draw too much attention to herself, event officials said, but her time was listed in the official results under her real name.

Katie Holmes became a TV star as Josephine "Joey" Potter on the coming-of-age TV series Dawson's Creek (1998-2003, starring James Van Der Beek). She parlayed her TV fame into movie roles, graduating from schoolgirl roles in movies like The Ice Storm (1997, with Tobey Maguire) and Wonder Boys (2000, with Michael Douglas), to leading parts in Pieces of April (2003, with Patricia Clarkson and First Daughter (2004, with Michael Keaton). Her exposure in the press exploded in 2005. She appeared in the Hollywood blockbuster Batman Begins (with Christian Bale) as well as the well-received independent comedy Thank You for Smoking (2005), and she became engaged to actor Tom Cruise after a much-publicized courtship and a proposal from Cruise at the Eiffel Tower. The press took to calling the couple "TomKat" and reported on their every move. Since their wedding in Italy on 18 November 2006, Holmes has been a tabloid favorite as Mrs. Cruise and the mother of their daughter, Suri (born 18 April 2006).

Katie Holmes was fresh out of a wholesome Midwestern high school existence when she became an overnight sensation in the WB’s anchor teen drama “Dawson’s Creek†(1998-2003). Her real life naiveté and lack of pretension lent a quality of realism to the smartly scripted small town chronicle, which was a much-needed shift away from the previous wave of TV high schools populated by wealthy, Southern California fashionistas. Down-to-earth Holmes and her naturalistic acting style were an integral factor in the success and six year-run of “Dawson’s Creek,†but the actress’s transition to the big screen was not so seamless. Her young adult horror fare was forgettable and her limited acting range showed itself in uneven attempts at indie dramas and broad comedies. While searching for a suitable post-Dawson acting niche, Holmes was the subject of more press than ever in her career, due to a whirlwind romance and marriage to Tom Cruise, an unlikely suitor 16 years her senior and already under fire from the press for excessive Scientology proselytizing.
