Coming Soon To Broadway
Filed under: Tom Cruise > Katie Holmes
Ever since Katie Holmes married Tom Cruise, it seems her career has been in the crapper.
It's not like she was such a huge star before Cruise either, but at least she had her fame on Dawson's Creek and a couple of independent films and such. But, she hasn't done much since her marriage, except for the "comedy" Mad Money, which no one saw.
It seems Katie might get another shot at reviving her career, though, by making a stage debut on Broadway.
It is being reported that Katie is in the final negotiation stage to sign on to a revival of All My Sons, a post WWII drama.
Holmes is set to play a woman who visits her former neighbors, the family members of a missing pilot she was in love with.
Already cast in the show are two Broadway veterans, John Lithgow and Dianne Wiest.
This would be Katie's first time performing in a play since high school.
She's bound to sucketh!
One theatre expert said "This play will be like a shop window for Katie. The aim is to remind people of her acting chops. It's kind of a neat idea. Nicole Kidman had Hollywood eating out of her hand when she was in The Blue Room."
Katie won't need to disrobe for her performance in this role, unlike Kidman. But maybe if she did, it'd sell more seats.
Let's hope controlling hubby Cruise will let her take this role. He'll have to go consult with the Scientology heads first to get approval, but it might happen.

In the words of John Mayer- "root for others". It is so sad and pathetic that you want people to fail. Says a lot about your character.

I used to LOVE her so much before she got with Tom…..The she kinda turned into a robot. I don't like the new Katie…..oops she isn't Katie anymore I heard she doesn't like to be called that anymore since she has gotten with Tom it's Kate now. She was sweet and I liked her acting before but now it just seems like she isn't even trying anymore. It's like she doesn't care because she is Mrs. Tom Cruise and she will get whatever she wants because of it.
I LUV Perezzzzzzzzzzzzzzz:-)
PINK IS THE NEW BLOG IS THE REAL GOSSIP SITE!
PEREZHILTON.COM IS JUST A BUNCH OF STORIES HIS MOM AND SIS STEAL TO WRITE THE BLOG!

HMMM-IS PEREZ SENDING ALL HIS MONEY BACK TO CUBA? IS HIS FAMILY HERE LEGALLY?
ALL I J=KNOW IS KARMA IS A BITCH!
I think Katie's adorable, even if her husband's a nut job and I'm sure she'll do great!
I'm actually excited, but not because of Katie! I'd be happy if she doesn't get the part! "All My Sons" by Arthur Miller is by far my favorite play ever written!
okay so Perez!!! u need to get some new things to draw on peoples heads…..you drew the same thing on Victoria's head a little while ago!

Re: RALPH GIANNI KLEIN –
you are one jealous mutherfucker. enjoy your suckass live.
Unless Xenu can be front row center on opening night, this ain't gonna happen.
I feel badly for Katie. She gave up everything and who she was for Tom Cruise?!? I hope she does well on Broadway. She needs it.
I guess John Lithgow and Diane Wiest are safe enough actors to leave Katie with. Can't be too tempted by the "outside" world hanging out and reading lines with her "grandparents!"
I'm sure she had to get Tom's permission to even consider it. Wait ’til she hits her 30's. She's gonna tire of his wierd-azz behavior that we can only imagine. She deserves whatever she gets with Tom—le douche!
You forgot she was in Batman Begins, which was a great movie! She's cool w/ me!
I also find it funny how after she married Tom the media started referring to her as an "A-List Actress"
So pathetic.
i dont feel sorry for her. she's an idiot who ruined her life and career when she decided to marry that nutcase.
No way Cruise Control is going to let her do this. She would have too much unsupervised time with normal people asking her if she's ok. So unless she has the $cientology babysitter or Tom himself lurking backstage constantly and not letting her talk to anyone privately, you can forget it. It would be too much bad P.R. if she actually got loose.
For those commenting on the "shrek ears" or saying Perez did it to Beckham too - duh. It's because of $cientology. Good for Perez for making fun of them. He should. It's a nasty cult that hasn't helped anyone with anything except lightening their bank accounts. And double-mortgaging their homes.
She's so artificial now. No life in har veins. pale.like a stick. I do not like her anymore.
Educate yourselves: visit exscientologykids.com
SO SHOCKING
Dear God, no. I'm tired of all the stunt casting on B'Way *cough*Clay Aiken*cough*. Hollywood needs to stay in Hollywood and leave B'Way alone. Very rarely does a Hollywood actor do good on the stage.
Hollywood and Broadway are truly one in the same. They are all so full of shit! The REAL actors are the ones working for nothing and would do it for nothing. Not those losers!
Go for it Katie! Break free from the chain that binds you. Remove the word 'chain' and replace it with ' Tom Cruise'.
IRe: RADICAL QUEEN – Sweet Burst of Sunshine,
RQ Dahhhhlllliiiiinnnnnngggggg! I can picture her on Broadway–showing hunkalicious homosexuals to their seats! DO let me know when we can do lunch again!
This fugly doe-eyed douche is just worthless!
least she is staying away from the Batman franchise thank god!! How she is still acting who knows
How could they think that she can handle being on a stage with those two hardcore veterans ??? this is retarded, I cant believe that John Lithgow and Dianne Wiest would even work with someone so inexperienced, she has only done high school theatre !!! this is such a slap in the face to all the talented broadway actors busting their asses to get roles like this only to be dissed for a washed up TV star ..so fucked up
Those cankles up close…I cant handle it
She was in Batman begins! Get your facts straight Perez!
Re: Myriam C Webster – I KNEW YOU'D FIND ME HERE DEAR MYRIAM !!! AND I AGREE….KATIE'S TALENTS WOULD SEEM BETTER SUITED TO USHERETTE DUTIES AS OPPOSED TO ACTUALLY PERFORMING ON STAGE…AS THE ONLY ABILITIES OF NOTE SHE'S SHOWN LATELY ARE THOSE OF A DOORMAT….AND CERTAINLY NOT A BONA FIDE ACTRESS. OF COURSE THE PRODUCERS WILL PROBABLY ADVERTISE THE SHOW AS STARRING "THE BEARD-ED LADY" AND SELL A BOATLOAD OF TICKETS TO THE SCIENTOLOTURDS. LUNCH SOUNDS DIVINE….I'M FREE ALL NEXT WEEK !!!
Re: JOHN STALL THE WONDERPOPE – Oh I don't know if shes TOTALLY worthless…I'd hire her to scrub my toilets…and that's worth something…at least it is to me…I HATE cleaning toilets.
well if she's going to do a play, one by Arthur Miller is a good place to start
John Lithgow and Dianne Weist? Didn't they work together as the parents in Footloose? Awesome!
… everything you say is SO old. Why don't you get a new schtick? Or at least a new writer because it seems as though you don't even "write" your own "blog" anymore. On the other hand, maybe you DO write it and are just getting more and more hateful and unhappy (at the age of 40, @#$% tends to catch up w/you). Perhaps, in the best interest of your health and sanity, you should just stop the constant denegration of other human beings and let your 15-minutes of fame wind down.
If she's playing the neighbor, it's a tiny, tiny role. Barely a walk-on. Hey, if the Scientologists buy tix, it could be a sell-out. Just like Kate!
YET ANOTHER DOOR OPENS for Mrs. Tom Cruise
Re: RADICAL QUEEN – Oh, darling, you never let me down, such a treasure you are! How about Wednesday? I'll be in town to attend the opening of a, well, spirited, friend's latest hotel. The weather should be great! Let's sit outside on the patio and give the people passing by a visual treat–US! Too, I'll be able to bring along my precious new addition to the family, my darling miniature dachsund I've named Schatzey! Like Paris and Dame Elizabeth we do love our cosseted canine companions! Air kisses, Sugar! (Wouldn't want to smudge the Chanel Maguillage, after all!)
broadway??
no umm more like make way for brod
Re: LB – Folks, we have a winner! How right you are! Tommy Girl's BACKDOOR is in fact opening at this very moment–for a donkey schlonged dude going by the nom de plume of Harry Cocksman! As a matter of fact, the REAL Miss Cruise is getting in the "backwards cowgirl" position (as seen on Talk Sex with Sue) as we speak.
what freaking career ? all her movies flopped even before tom cruise !! she's been a looser always
She may draw in the crowds, but for the wrong reasons.
Dude..HER CAREER WAS DEAD UNTIL SHE MARRIED TOMMY BOY!! YOU DUMB SPIC!!
Anyone connected to Tom Cruise is doomed to failure. It has been proven many times that pairing Cruise with any actor who can produce box office blockbusters means box office bust. Robert Redford and Meryl Streep were his latest victims.

Re: A JUBILANT Myriam C Webster – WEDNESDAY IT IS MYRIAM…I SHALL WEAR MY NEW CHANEL SUIT FOR THE OCCASION. …YOU KNOW…WHEN KARL WAS FITTING ME…HE ALWAYS TAKES CARE OF ME PERSONALLY…HE SUGGESTED THE GARMENT WOULD BE PERFECT FOR A LUNCHEON IN THE FRESH SPRING TIME AIR…AND I CAN'T WAIT TO MEET THE NEW 4 LEGGED ADDITION TO YOUR BROOD. SCHATZY SOUNDS ADORABLE !!!!
Katie, if you do what your husband did then you may have a career too….and thats sell your fucking soul to the devil!!! Then with all that money you can go and try and find yourself with every freak religion in the country before settling on of course Scientology. Then again, how much depth is there in a brain washed bimboid like you?
Re: RADICAL QUEEN – (clapping hands with glee) Oh, I can't wait! I think I'll hit the safety deposit box before hand for my Mikimoto black pearl and diamond ensemble (ring, necklace, and bracelet) and I'll team them up with an emerald green silk suit I had my favorite seamstress, Yoko of Tokyo, whip up for me over the holidays. (Actually the creation took her a month!) See you soon! And you just HAVE to meet my new security detail, Mitsubishi. Girl, he was the sumo champ of Kyoto in '05!
All My Sons is an amazing play and I do not think she can pull it off.
Re: RADICAL QUEEN – Oh, P.S. sugar! And I am on tenderhooks cherished one anticipating see you in your latest Chanel suit for Spring '08! Isn't Karl adorable? Oh, while on the subject, the silk suit I told you about is RAW SILK, of course, otherwise I don't think the black pearls would really go. Don't you agree???
Re: Myriam C Webster – OH I CERTAINLY DO AGREE….AND I CAN ENVISOIN YOU IN YOUR RAW SILK ENSEMBLE WITH YOUR BLACK PEARLS AS I TYPE THIS POST….SCRUMPTIOUS DAHHHLING….SIMPLY SCRUMPTIOUS !!!! I SUPPOSE I'LL JUST WEAR MY EVERYDAY DIAMONDS….OF COURSE THEY'RE EVERY DAY FOR ME….NOT SO MUCH FOR EVERYBODY ELSE….POOR PEASANTS !!!
Let's get to the point here! This woman has massive big chunky piano legs! I thought that was a 'crime against humanity' in Hollywood? Throw her a trouser xxxx
Screw her actiing - why haven't you commented on her boobs in this pic? Very un-Perez of you!!
Re: RADICAL QUEEN – Oh, I know dear. Did you happen to see that mugshot of the ghastly breeder on P.H.'s spectacular site today? Frightening, I tell you, simply frightening, how so many just let themselves go. AS IF! They never had it to begin with, the sad truth be told! Now I am going to go prepare my darling Schatzey some fresh chicken liver. That's about the only cooking I do–except for the popcorn I make in a huge sauce pan that I'm practically FAMOUS for! Mitsubishi just loves it, you wouldn't believe how he hoovers the stuff, kernels and all! I'll have to get him some more of that Cucumber Pepsi–I swear he's about to drive me to the poorhouse. AS IF!
she has posh boobs! what happened?
Re: sabene – she has "posh" boobs! can not believe perez did not notice!
STOP PUTTING HORRENDOUS ACTORS ON BROADWAY JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE FAMOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT'S AN INSULT TO TALENTED ACTORS WHO AUDITION FOR THOSE ROLES AND DON'T GET THEM B/C THEY DON'T HAVE THE BIG BILLINGS. STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BROADWAY IS NOT HOLLYWOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Those are a couple of the strangest knees I've ever seen.
No wonder she rarely wears short dresses.
I do thkn shes changed since marrying Cruise. She used to be bubbly, down to earth and likeable. Now she seems fake and forced. As far as her career. SHE HAD A CHILD, and is a MoM now. Maybe she's chosed to make Suri her first priority rather than her career. If so, good for her!
now that's she has her own cash cow, she can do whatever moves her. why not.
Perez…this is disgusting. I'm a theater major in college in nyc and I see this kinda shit happening all the time. Broadway is a business, yes…and to keep the seats filled producers hire stars and blah blah blah (ie P dids in raisin, Usher in Chicago)
Stop inundating the theater with half talent, full of themselves hollywood sluts who wanna pretend like they can have a fucking theater career!!! Leave the theater to people who have training. I will boycott the fuck outa this show if she's in it.
FIRST OF ALL FUCK SCIENTOLOGY IT'S MIND CONTROL FREAK SHIT. THEY HAVE TO LIVE IN CAMPS AND PERFORM SLAVE LABOR. CRUISE AND PRESLEY AND TRAVOLTA DON'T…THEY'RE WINDOW DRESSING TO PROMOTE THE "RELIGION"…..IT'S MIND CONTROL FREAK ASS SHIT. IT'S NOT SOME HARMLESS "HIP" THING LIKE KABULA. DON'T FALL FOR IT. NOW TO KATIE….I SAW MAD MONEY ONLY TO SEE MY QUEEN….LOVE ME MY LATIFAH AS YOU ALL KNOW….BUT I REALLY LIKE KATIE'S LOOK….I'LL GIVE HER THAT….BUT NOT AS MUCH AS I DISLIKE MIDGET CONTROLLING WHACKED OUT FULL OF HIMSELF TOM…HE'S NOT THE HOTTIE FROM RISKY BUSINESS ANYMORE THAT AROUSED ME AS A TEEN. HELL…..AS A TEEN WITH AN ABNORMAL SEX DRIVE…A TREE WOULD AROUSE ME!!!!!!
She has really ugly knees. Is that from being on her knees so much around her sweetie TomTom (Now get your minds out of the gutter, I meant so she wouldn't be so much taller than him.)
Since marrying Tom, the whole world has now heard of Kathy Holmes. She is famous and stop criticizing her for not making movies. She could be more well known than now. Having never watched Dawson's Creek in Australia, I had not heard of her.
Her career is not 'in the crapper.' Motherhood is a noble career, and none of you would be here if it weren't for some woman, somewhere, subjugating and consciously setting aside her professional ego fix for you. Besides that, Katie can act in whatever she so cherry picks, whenever she so chooses. She's got it made in the shade, actually. Crapper indeed. Not.
she did make "thank you for smoking" post tom, and that was fabulous.
Perez, you petty, small minded bitch. I'm glad she's happily married, working when she chooses to, she appears to be a devoted mom and wife and a top notch professional actress. Perez, you may need to see a therapist ’cause you've got some issues, dude. You berate Suri Cruise, a defenseless toddler, you berate Tom because of his beliefs. Wow, I thought you had a brain and a heart. You have neither. Why? Ask your therapist.
So, it's OK for the stepford wives to perform IN FRONT of SP's, but they can't talk to them? How is this gonna be possible?
And who the hell cares? One simply has to listen to this woman TALK in order to determine just how sucky she'll be on Broadway… her voice has always reminded me of… uhhh… a female Michael Jackson.
BARF.
Re: RADICAL QUEEN –
Exactly, well put…
I'm betting that's the only way Katie will make money from now on… featured in films/plays with TALENTED actors.
I'd be willing to bet that Tom's exploiting her with this production in order to make some Scientolo-cash. Fuck, I can't STAND that prick!
BUT… some day, he'll be dead, and fucking Hubbard in the after-life. Ahhhh, what a celebration that will be!
Her "acting career" got her just where she wanted to be - married to Tom Cruise. WTF is up with her strapless dresses? They are always sitting so low! Even if her post-baby boobs are saggy, why doesn't she just push them up? Weird-looking.
Wow, I hope she does well in the role. It's such a magnificent play. I love it. It's so sad and just positively tragic. Go Arthur Miller!!!
Does anyone remember a People magazine article, waaay back before Tom & Katie got together, that said Katie was dating an Asian man and had become pregnant? (The article even mentioned this man's name.) If I recall correctly, it was squelched IMMEDIATELY afterwards because her Catholic family didn't want rumours to spread about their "unwed daughter." Shortly after this article came out, Tom "auditioned" Katie, and soon came the "BIG NEWS!" that she was pregnant.
Well, I've connected a few dots lately: 1) Mimi Rogers stated she & Tom had no sex after they were married, 2) Nicole Kidman (supposedly) couldn't get pregnant, 3) Tom is adamant his sexuality is "private, and personal," and 4) Katie has said, "I had a huge crush on him as a teenager."
So, I'm betting that Tom saw an opportunity to "blackmail" a pregnant Catholic woman into marrying him; 'she' gets the celebrity, the money, the status, and becomes an "honest woman," & 'he' gets the perfect patsie to keep quiet about his deviant sexuality.
(In my opinion, whether he's gay or not, I'm betting his sexual perversity is all about masturbation. An obvious narcissist, Tom probably believes the only person he's capable of having sex with is himself.)
If I were Katie, yah, I'd be looking a little green around the gills lately; lying to yourself, the world, and keeping your "kept woman" status and your baby-daddy a secret must be really hard on the psyche. My 2 cents.
I hope it works out for her. If only so she can get to meet some people who are not controlled by Tom and learn that there is more to life than the Scientology cultist life she's living now. Break free, Katie!
Re: a Question for everyone… – MY GOODNESS…WHAT AN INCREDIBLY INTERESTING HYPOTHOSIS…AND TOTALLY BELIEVEABLE…ESPECIALLY THE IDEA THAT "TOMMY-THE-QUEER-TURD" ONLY JACKS-OFF WHILE LOOKING IN THE MIRROR, BECAUSE THE ONLY ONE SUITABLE FOR HIM TO HAVE SEX WITH IS HIMSELF. BUT LET ME TAKE IT ONE STEP FURTHER. I'D IMAGINE THE PENITRATION LOVING STAR HAS HAD A DILDO MADE FROM HIS OWN COCK, AND HAS THAT SHOVED UP HIS ASS DURING HIS MASTERBATION SESSIONS.
I thought only talented actresses do broadway ? I guess i'm wrong again !
PLEASE don't let her screw an Arthur Miller play up. No talent, Alien bitch…..
She needs to get her immature, ugly arse back to Ohio and live with mommy and daddy.. CAN'T STAND THIS AIRHEAD…Don't like Tom either but I can't believe he is with this bimbo.
OMG who makes that dress?!!!!!! i MUST have it
I loved Katie on Dawson's Creek, she was a good actress. She should get real, and quit this fake life she is living with phyco boy.
Re: a Question for everyone… – I don't remember this article at all. Are you sure?
How did she ever get a role in anything? She is one of the top 3 worst "actresses" ever.
She needs to work a local dinner theater or a have a small regular part on a cruise ship in the dinner theater. Maybe the COS will give her a job on the Scientology cruise ship Freewinds. That way she can fulfill her need to call herself an "actress" and we wouldn't have to see her anymore.
I think her career's been in the crapper from the start. The only really big things she's ever done were "Dawson's Creek" and "Batman Begins." She wasn't invited back for "Dark Knight," and "Dawson's Creek" ended. Most of her movies were made when she was either on "DC" or right after it ended. I think she was cast mainly for her "adorably naive and innocent" persona, and now that she's married to Tom Cruise of all people, she's suddenly not so "adorably naive and innocent" anymore. Meaning she's out of a job.
You might want to be careful what you say about the followers of Scientology. They are actually a really dark, scary cult.
Re: RADICAL QUEEN –
hey, Radical Queen… excellent addition to the hypothesy; I'm betting you're right about the dildo and yep, I definitely agree that he probably sits in front of the mirror jacking off to himself.
I'd also bet the only thing Katie has to do with it is she's forced to watch!
I'm reminded of her quote: "I try to let him know every day how much I love him."
Tom: "Oh yah? How much do you love me baby?" (whack, jerk, squeeze..)
:)
Re: Birdy –
hey, Birdy… it wasn't a big article, as in a headline or anything. It was in the pages where they list the "who's had a birthday," "who's died," "who's married," and "who's pregnant." It was only a blurb, actually… but I remember it mostly because I was reading it second-hand in a doctor's office, and it was long after the pair had announced Katie was expecting. I found it quite odd, to say the least!
Re: madg –
madg, that's exactly what they want you to feel… yes, it is a dark and scary cult, but the reason they don't want anyone to speak of it because the more who know of it - and fight against it - the less recruits they get. It's that simple.
And personally, I ain't afraid of 'em… people who live lies and use the energy of negativity and coersion to "scare" people are doing it because secretly they KNOW they have nothing to go on.
(think: bully mentality = actual cowards)
