Katie Holmes Didn't Ask For That Emergency Hearing After All

BOOOOOOO! Yet another Dlisted field trip has been canceled. On July 17th, we won't be eating popcorn in the back of a NYC court room while watching Katie Holmes and Tommy Girl bikini wrestle for custody of Suri in a kiddie pool full of barley water. Hollywood Life played with our emotions yesterday when they said that Katie filed a request for an emergency hearing to try to get temporary full custody of Suri. But Katie's lawyer Jonathan Wolfe killed my buzz last night by telling People that there will be no public custody dance-off between Katie and Tommy, because he didn't file shit:

"Other than her action for divorce, the only pending application filed by Ms. Holmes remains her request for an anonymous caption."

Tommy's lawyer Bert Fields released his own statement of words yesterday and threw some shade while doing so. Let the games begin!

"Tactically we can't say where Tom will file a divorce case and if he'll be seeking joint custody of Suri. We are letting 'the other side' (Katie and her team), play the media until they wear everyone out and then we'll have something to say. It's not Tom's style to do this publicly. He is really sad about what's happening."

Somewhere, John Travolta just let out an "OH SNAP, GURL!" at that statement. Bert is right, though. Tommy is the epitome of private and he'd never ever play the media. That time Tommy stomped on Oprah's ugly yellow couch? It wasn't at all choreographed and he didn't do it to manipulate the world into thinking that he naturally gets excited about vagina. All those times Tommy paraded Suri in front of the paps? It was just a natural moment between a father and daughter, and Tommy didn't hit ctrl+alt+smile on the keyboard on Suri's back to make her look extra happy. PLEASE. The only shit Tommy keeps private is the truth.

In other #tomkatastrophe news, Katie talked to Elle for their August issue and some think she hinted about not extending her contract with TG:

"He has been Tom Cruise for 30 years. I know who I am and where I am and where I want to go, so I want to focus on that. I definitely feel much more comfortable in my own skin. I feel sexier. I'm starting to come into my own. It's like a new phase."

That quote sounds like it's reaching until you read it literally. I mean, Katie obviously found a way to rip off the Thetan-proof skin shell that Scientologists wrapped her with on her wedding night.

Exactly.

This is all striking a chord close to my heart, because of my parents' split. My dad did all kinds of bullshit with the visitation. He'd make it sound like my mom never let us see him. Meanwhile, he would miss our birthdays and Christmas pageants and crap.

Not saying that Tom is doing exactly that, but this isn't going to reflect well in custody hearings.

This whole "blindsided" thing from Cruise is bullshit. He treated Nicole Kidman like dirt in the last divorce, so this time its his turn to be blindsided and shocked. He saw this coming. There's no way he didn't. Either they really did have the contract, so he knew it was about to run out, or if this was a real marriage he would have noticed Katie behaving oddly and she probably would have already voiced her concerns about Scientology to him by now. A person doesn't just suddenly break out of a marriage without there being some manner of conflict beforehand. Either that or she was playing it normal in order to escape more easily. But I doubt that. Even if she played nice for a while, the fact that she bought herself a new apartment in New York separate from him while he was away and caught up in work should have been a red flag. He knew.

The fact is, the Kidman divorce and aftermath left him looking bad. Really bad. A third failed marriage is only going to worsen his image. The best thing he can do is play the bewildered victim in this case to try and soften things. At least this way, he's not coming off as some control freak cultist dirt-bag. He's trying to send the message that Katie just did this completely out of the blue, without warning, and is purposely trying to screw him. That way, Katie looks like the bad guy and he comes off as her victim. "See! This one is not my fault or the fault of my crazy cult! I still love her! She just sprung this on me with no warning beforehand! How could she do this to me?"

But the fact is, he still has had three failed marriages, the latest of which was to a girl much younger than him. And he's made enough of an ass of himself concerning the Scientology thing that pretty much everyone knows at least some of the crazy stuff involved in that group. Because he loved running his mouth about his religion, he's made it a major part of his public image and increased the interest in it a hundredfold. By doing so, he insured that a bunch of information would come out about Scientology whenever there was a big news story about him. And so, the fact that Suri is now old enough for "Sec Checking" is being reported and the public knows what it is and no one thinks it's a coincidence that this has come about right as Suri has reached the age for "Sec Checking". It's just tarnishing his image and his church's image more.

It's kind of sad. Tom Cruise has risked damaging his public image so much shouting his mouth off trying to promote Scientology, and in the end, all his efforts to promote his religion have had the opposite effect. People are hyper-aware of it and also consider it to be freaky, even evil, partly because of him.

There's an interesting article in the New York Post that basically says that Cruise pretty much relies on the church to run his life and that all of Cruise's relationship from Nicole Kidman to the present have been orchestrated by Scientology. I know it could be false, but they make a convincing case. The way they say the Church handled things lines up with pretty much every account I've ever heard of Scientology by former members.

Based on reaction and statements it seems like Tom is most upset that she filed, not out of sadness for the marriage, but for not being able to control the relationship all the way to the end. Add on top of that the fact that she wants control of Suri, I'm surprised that Tom's head didn't explode.

I hate the week after a celebrity breakup when all your getting is manipulative info from "close sources" and media speculation. I want to fast forward six months and see what shakes out of this mess.

No I don't. Even the Cruise/CO$ clan wouldn't come up with that shit hopefully). They're both the parents of old Suri, pretty sure of that. Might even have been conceived the old fashioned way.

Either way KH must be careful now not to be too cocky which would change the situation to the bat shit crazy one being a victim. Play hard ball, Katie, but be considerate. Glad to know she has a network with her lawyer dad in on the thing from the word go.

Any photographic evidence of the Tom being confronted? Sadly no. Now that's a thing I'd like to have seen. Cue him to turn up all soppy soon on any given two bit talk show to make points.

Regarding paternity. . .

It's interesting and rather telling that a close source to Holmes said that Katie felt like she was living the 'Rosemary's baby' movie. Was that a 'tell'? Could they have used some of LRH's frozen sperm mixed with Tom's DNA and perhaps even other high up Scientologists DNA? Maybe multiple fathers?

Yuck. Creepy.

The truth will probably be a bombshell unless Tom pays hush money and agrees to her terms and gives up custody.

I'm surprised she's letting Suri speak to him on the phone daily though. ???

If he was that concerned about the kid, he would have gone to NY instead of CA. It would have appeared as though his first priority is to be near his little girl, instead of reporting to headquarters to strategize.

Even now he's going elsewhere. Of course he has to do his movie, but if he had gone to NY to see Suri, he could say that he was kept from her and might have gotten sympathy.

I believe TC is Suri's dad, they have a similar schnoze and the eyes have it too.

Her schnoze is totally Katie's. If you look at younger photos of Katie, like when she was in her late teens and had a little more baby fat on her face, she looks A LOT like Suri. That being said, I think Suri has Tom features as well. If he really is sterile though (I mean... Mimi, Nicole, etc, would make it seem that way?) Do you think there could be more to the rumor that a male donation was made via his cousin William Mapother? http://thr1.pgmcdn.net/sites/default/files/imagecache/blog_post_349_widt...

Submitted by Mel-Tang on Thu, 07/05/2012 - 2:30pm.

Here's how I think things went down, and how they will go down.

Katie had been dating Kris Klein for five yrs when things started to go sour for them. They 'fell out of love.' During the end of their relationship, it was alleged that she was boinking Josh Hartnett (up and coming movie star). I think Josh was in a serious relationship with someone else, so they couldn't exactly go public. She gets preggers by Josh and freaks out because now she doesn't look like the good little catholic girl anymore, and has no career.

At the same time, Cruise is starting to panic because it's been forever since he's had a girl on his arm, and people are starting to question his sexuality again. He bugs Miscavige to get him a girl, Miscavige gets annoyed and delegates that duty to his peon..er, wife. She starts interviewing desperate wannabe's, promising them fame and riches if they beard for Tom, under the guise of a movie role audition.

None of the girls are biting, until Katie comes along. I don't think Cruise's camp even thought of taking it as far as a marriage, just someone to date for a while. When they found out she was preggers and desperate for a boost in her career, they thought BONUS.. 'this will be great.' She'll get what she wants/needs out of it, and it will make Tom look REALLY hetero, as he has now ' fathered ' a child.

They sign the deal, and make Katie swear that no matter what happens, Cruise is the father. Katie disappears for two weeks so they can brief her on what's about to go down. She comes back, and all of a sudden her and Tom are madly, insanely in love. A few weeks later, she is pregnant. Because they are SO in love and Tom is SO fertile.

Fast forward to five years, contract is up, and now Katie has to 'blindside' Tom with the divorce so he looks like the victim. He is SO sad and shocked. Poor Tom. :(

However, it seems to have backfired a bit. Much of the public can't stand him and feel sorry for Katie. So now he has to fight Katie to a point to make it look like he cares, but 'let' her have the majority of the custody, otherwise it will make him look like the psycho that he is and ruin his image even more. So he goes easy on her in the trial. It's a win for him. He looks like the scorned, caring father who didn't see this coming, and Katie looks like the witch for taking his child away from him.

The only thing he wants out of this is for people to believe Suri is biologically his.

Good PR!

But where is Shelly Miscavige? She knew too much and was threatening to go public with it, so they got rid of her.

The End.

This is just speculation, but it's not out of the realm of possibility, if he was a man-whore for decades, he could be carrying a virus, that now days can be kept under control with drugs, but if it got out, along with being gay, would ostracize his middle America redneck fan base and maybe even make working with some actresses in love scenes difficult....even if HIV cannot be passed in saliva, there's still a lot of people frightened by it.

Talking about Suri: When Nicole and Tom adopted, they were the first couple in Hollywood to do so and explained it with him having "bad sperm" (Yes, I'm that old that I still remember).
Then they divorce, he mets Katie and BAM she's pregnant. Nicole gets her country star and BAM is pregnant.
I don't think that Nicole ever needed to be the beard of anyone, so that's kind of weird, also that she didn't talk about anything though he has ripped her of everything. And she seemed honestly miserable for years, and to be honest, she still looks miserable now.
Now Katie did nearly the same thing with Cruise and he seems to be miserable - why if all of their relationships were fake? Or am I blinded by the media and they just publish pics on which person a, b or c looks happy/sad/depressed?

Submitted by Terri on Thu, 07/05/2012 - 2:00pm.

I do't think he will submit to a paternity test. It's the Tom Cruise Image that he is her father. Katie gets lots of money if she doesn't pursue it.

He can claim he was set up by her if he wants to deny paternity and avoid paying, but I don't think he wants to do that. The Dad Role is part of his image now. Make him all manly and such.

It's interesting that Katie said "He's been Tom Cruise for thirty years" in that interview. He has created his image and sticks to it. She didn't say he's been Tom Cruise for fifty years.

From the Krazy Files:

"Rumours that Katie Holmes is an undercover agent working for the activist collective known as Anonymous came to a head over the weekend. Husband Tom Cruise has been known as an undercover agent of the CIA for several years. However, it is his role as a primary source of funds for the Church of Scientology – a long-time target for certain factions within Anonymous – that began to raise suspicions.

Then, when independent accountants started to realise just how much money the Church would lose when Katie takes him for every penny he’s got, suspicions rose to a fever pitch.

Now her careless lawyers have given the game away. Katie will need to go into hiding from both the CIA and the Church. When filing the divorce papers, they named her: Anonymous. And warned Cruise, expect us."

I as supposedly everybody else this side of the milky way believe she signed a gagging order pre-ceremony. But girl seriously seems to harbour a great anger (wouldn't call it hate YET) that I guess if Tommy gets her the wrong way she'll kick his ass in this respect too.

As opposed to Kidman who was dumped and still faded out silently this has the prospect of many a MK post. Team Holmes, go get him.

JFC!

I haven't had a chance to comment on any of this since I've been out of the office, but holy moly! So many different things to consider in this shitshow! My thoughts:

I personally don't think Katie thought getting involved in this relationship would be as difficult as it ultimately turned out to be for her. I don't think she was mature enough to process that her every move would be monitored and ultimately her child would be subject to E-meters and the like, not to mention that her husband would turn out to be batshit nuts (ultimately, in her eyes). Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't see Katie Holmes as being so sophisticated at the age of 25-26 years old to marry a superstar for the sake of advancing herself to A-list status for her personal career motivations. My opinion is largely based upon how immature and naive I was at age 26, but also because I come from a relatively similar background as her (e.g., midwest girl, Roman Catholic, etc.), and these are not values that are largely instilled into young girls from a midwestern Catholic family. I could be entirely wrong, but Katie seemed very, very naive at the time they got married, and I recall her parents being very concerned, and rightfully so, given how fucked up everything is now.

I think she's finally awoken to the cult that is Scientology and decided that she is not going to have her daughter hooked up to machines so the master poobas can turn her daughter against her. I don't believe there was a contract, and I do believe she was BLINDLY IN LOVE with this fucktard. But changes happen when babies get in the mix. I think she's being a complete MAMA BEAR, and I have alot of respect for her now. I'm sure none of this is easy and I'm sure it's just going to get more difficult as time goes on. I read Dog's article about hourly updates being sent to her parents. How many kinds of FUCKED UP is that?????

I don't have a fuck to give about whether or not Suri is Tom's, Chris Klein's, Josh Hartnett's, etc. If Tom's name is on the birth certificate, she's Tom's kid in the eyes of the court. And I hope she fucking RAPES his ass for child support.

Anyway, just my thoughts. We all knew this would happen - I just didn't realize she had it in her to freaking BLINDSIDE his dumb ass like that. Good for her, and good for her mom and dad for watching out for their daughter and granddaughter. If Katie Holmes fades away into obscurity after all of this is said and done, she might very well be the first one to embrace the calmness of life outside of Hollyweird (because we all know she's a pretty shitty actress anyway).

TC is Suri's legal father, so he has to pay child support to the mother. I suppose he might have a chance to avoid it if Katie is not the bio mom. But she's also the legal mother, so not sure how that would work out.

Question - For the sake of child support - does it matter if Suri isn't tom's biological child?

If he legally acknowledged Suri as his daughter - it's on the birth certificate and all - wouldn't he still be obligated to pay child support.
------------------------

I don't think so... I know a guy who's name is on a birth certificate as the father and after two years the wife told him it wasn't his... she left him and the court did not recognize him as the father... no child support... sad thing is, he loved the kid and didn't know better for 2 years. Unfortunately he got no visitation rights.

If he legally acknowledged Suri as his daughter - it's on the birth certificate and all - wouldn't he still be obligated to pay child support. Unless of course, he objects - which I couldn't see him doing.

Tom would have the most to lose if anyone found out Suri wasn't his child. I think that's the only thing that is making some believe he is hetero. Financially I don't see it making any difference. Regardless as to how pissed he is at Katie I don't see Tom walking away from legal responsibilities. Bottom line even if it wasn't his sperm, he's raised her like she was his. That's akin to saying if tom adopted Suri he could back away from child support. Katie still has the upper hand even if Suri isn't biologically tom's. I also doubt if the Scientiologist want the world to know that Suri isn't Tom's - which they undoubtedly would know.

With all these surrogate pregnancies, adoptions and blended families - I don't think it's as easy to step away from a child you've called your own.

I also noticed the recent pictures of Suri hasn't shown her loosing it like in the past. There were plenty pictures, with tom and Suri, where she was throwing a major tantrum. Maybe with less tom in their life Katie is finally getting that child to behave.

It appears as though tom may have underestimated Katie - but I guess the story will unfold and we'll all see how it will play out.

don't let that sweet, naive, little girl act(who said KH couldn't act?) fool U; Katies out for everything she can get, $$$, power, deals, and child support= more cha ching$$$.

and when it comes down to it, it's about what's in the best interrest of the child; not what KH and tC did to each other.

Re: paternity-The law is very clear. It doesn't matter if Tommy Girl is not Suri's bio father. He's on the birth certificate and has been so for over 2 years. For all emotional, legal purposes he IS her father. Google it if you don't believe me. Nearly every state has laws like this in place. It is actually to protect the child.

FWIW, I always thought Suri was created in a lab using someone else's sperm.

Bad, bad Photoshop.

Tom Cruise may or may not be crazy.. and his sexuality is debatable, and his religion questionable..

...but Katie is a full-grown woman and did she or did she not have a daughter with him? Did she not discuss ahead of time with Tom about Scientology? Yanno.. maybe before marriage? BEFORE HAVING A KID??

=============

I don't think you're looking at all the factors here. If it turns out that TC is not Suri's biological father, the getting child support might be more difficult - although the fact that he married Holmes, might well be on the birth cert and is the only father Suri has known might be sway a judge to make him pay at least *some* money.

But if he does that, he's essentially cutting Suri out of his life because she's not biologically his. If he doesn't want to pay for her upkeep because she's not his bio daughter, then Holmes won't be obliged to let him see her. He'll just be mom's ex.

But that would put him in the same situation that Nicole Kidman was in once she divorced him. People still shit razorblades at the thought that she abandoned her adopted children because they weren't her bio children.

Cruise would be in that situation, but worse because people would be angry at what he did to Kidman. It would make him a complete pariah. All he has at this point is (1) he's fairly talented, if one dimensional and (2) he still seems like a devoted, if unstable, father. Even bringing it up would damage him, because Suri would find out sooner rather than later.

I don't see his team bringing up Suri's paternity (whatever it is) simply because it would make him look like an even bigger dick than he already does.

ETA: This entire divorce is about who can have the best media game. TC has completely lost it, but I don't think he'd be stupid enough to even imply that paternity has anything to do with the love and support of his children. That would open a massive can o' worms wrt Conor and Isabella.

He's going to play this in terms of who's the best parent.
