KATIE HOLMES IS MAKING HER MOVE

MSNBC says that Katie Holmes is using her time alone on her new film to re-connect with family and old friends and reclaim parts of her life that she gave up after she met Tom Cruise.  The Scoop says: 

Holmes is reconnecting with family and friends and even secretly talking to Catholic priests. Holmes was raised a Catholic, but since her marriage, has embraced Scientology, her husband’s religion.  Holmes recently called a childhood pal named Meghann Birie, whom she hadn’t seen since meeting Cruise two years ago … “She wanted to talk to someone not in Camp Cruise,” a friend told the mag. “Katie told Meghann she can’t believe she abandoned her old life.” The actress hasn’t been to church lately, but is “secretly talking to pastors” for advice, and wants to enroll Suri in “kiddie Catholicism” classes.

Some quick back story here: Prior to meeting Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes had always been extremely close to her family and friends, always been a devoted Catholic from a very Catholic family and always appeared loyal to her agent and manager.  Then she disappeared for 16 days in April of 2005.  16 days when no one knew where to find her, 16 days when she had no contact with anyone she had always been close too.  When she reappeared, she was the girlfriend of Tom Cruise, she fired her manager, and was a new convert to the church of Scientology (source). Coincidence?  Maybe.  Only Tom Cruise knows for sure, and he’s not talking.  Maybe a karate attack will take the blush out of those cheeks, Tom.  Hi-ya!
