Church of Scientology
Suri Is NOT a Candidate
for Sea Org.

The Church of Scientology is adamant ... nobody under the age of 16, including Suri Cruise, is allowed to join its elite Sea Organization.

The Church's lawyer has released a statement ... saying in addition to the minimum age requirement (16 years old), minors must have "consent of both parents and/or all legal guardians" in order to join.

The lawyer adds, "There are no exceptions to that policy."

As TMZ first reported, Katie Holmes is concerned Tom Cruise will put 6-year-old Suri in the Sea Org. in the very near future ... and she clearly does NOT want that to happen.

Nonetheless ... the Church is adamant ... no one under 16 can become part of Sea Org.

Katie Holmes
The Wedding Ring
Finally Comes Off

Breaking News

It's gone -- Katie Holmes has finally removed her wedding ring.

Holmes was photographed moments ago in NYC, as she left a "Project Runway" taping ... sans finger jewelry.

Katie had worn the ring as recently as last week -- just days before she filed for divorce from Tom on Thursday.

TMZ broke the story ... Katie believes her marriage to Tom became "irretrievably broken" at least 6 months ago -- so the fact that she was still wearing her wedding ring last week is another sign she intentionally blindsided Tom with divorce papers.

Further proof -- Tom was wearing his ring last week too.

Monday, July 2nd 2012 Katie Holmes Has Pink-Slipped EVERYBODY

Right after Katie Holmes went down to the Geek Squad and had them remove all the brainwashing-viruses Scientology installed in the hard drive in her head, she pushed the enema deeper and continued to cleanse her life of all things Tommy Girl-related. TMZ says that after Katie filed for divorce and moved into her own apartment, she dropped the bodyguard and driver that Tommy assigned to her when she became his contract concubine 6 years ago. Katie also quit the publicist Tommy introduced to her and re-hired the PR firm she had before her bearding days. Bitch is seriously flushing the shit from her life like colon-obsessor GOOPY Paltrow on any day of the week.
TMZ says that Katie shot an episode of Project Runway All-Stars (yes, ANOTHER Project Runway All-stars) in NYC today and she showed up with a whole new team of bodyguards and a different driver. Some source says that Katie let go of her old bodyguards, because their in Tommy's corner, obviously.
Instead of firing her old bodyguards, Katie should've just poured holy water over their Scientology-made robot heads and softly cackled as their power grids malfunctioned before they shut down completely. That way all the data they collected on her in their hard drives would be lost FOREVER!
Some people have been saying that Katie gladly signed a bearding contract years ago and knew what kind of crazy she was getting into, so what happened for her to suddenly bolt? Well, TMZ says that Tommy really wanted to ship Suri off to Sea Org, which is like a Scientology boarding school where they brainwash the children into believing the words of a science fiction writer. The kids are sent to live there at the age of 6 and parents are not allowed. Katie got out of there to save Suri's soooooouuuul.
You know, those crazy Scientology bitches would probably have more members if they accepted kids as young as 2 into that Sea Org mess. Yes, brainwashing a kid at any age is wrong, but have you ever spent some time with a terrible two year old? They'll drive you to pick up the phone, dial 1-800-GET-XENU and say, "Hey Scientology, tell me about this Sea Org shit..."

Monday, July 2nd 2012 This Is News: Katie Holmes Took Her Wedding Ring Off

Somebody Photoshop a blunt in Katie Holmes' hand, because she looks like she just baked her last Thetan off. Or maybe she's just relieved that she can let out a fart without a Scientology handler running off to tell her master what it smelled like. Freedom really is farting whenever you want to.
Anyway, Katie Holmes was out in NYC today after guest judging an episode of Project Runway: All-Stars 2, and her marriage finger was free of the shackle that was her wedding ring. You know that shit wasn't a wedding ring. It was a straight-up GPS tracking system. So I hope she pawned that shit and used the money to buy some new shoes. Seriously, she needs a new pair of shoes, because those ones she had on today were as ugly as three kinds of hell. They look like Chester the Cheetah's used cum rags. And that dress. I'm sure she made it out of her old Scientology prison jumpsuit. Bitch, you've freed yourself of Tommy Girl, now free yourself of bad taste.

Katie Holmes
Getting PEANUTS
From Prenup

Exclusive

Katie Holmes will be getting virtually nothing from Tom Cruise by way of $$$$ because their prenup cuts her out of his fortune ... and sources connected with Katie tell us it's just fine with her.

We've learned the prenup Katie signed is long, tight and stacked in Tom's favor. We're told reports that she'll walk away with $15-20 million are absurd. Our sources say Katie will walk away with what she brought into the marriage ... and hardly anything else.

Our Katie sources tell us, "She's not about the money. She's not that girl. She loves to work."

We're told there's one thing Katie is insistent on -- she wants child support from Tom, and that could turn into a big ticket item.

As for whether Katie will challenge the prenup ... it's pretty common when a divorcing couple is in conflict, and our Katie sources are not ruling that out. But they insist, "Money is not that important to her. She makes plenty on her own."

One final point ... a well-placed source connected with the couple tells us, the prenup that basically gives Katie bupkis is proof the marriage is not a sham -- she didn't tie the knot for the loot.

Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes 'Marriage Contract': The Origins Of An Urban Legend


http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/...an-legend_n_1643267.html?utm_hp_ref=celebrity




"By 2004, he was very gung-ho, and the process for finding him a new wife, this one approved by the church, was under way," he said.
Ortega, who has been covering Scientology since 1995, said he has interviewed hundreds of people about the history of the church -- an institution where Cruise ranks second or third in command, according to celebrity biographer Andrew Morton, author of "Tom Cruise: An Authorized Biography."
Morton has reported several details that support Ortega's version of events. In an article published today on the gossip website Celebuzz, Morton claims that, before settling on Holmes, Cruise was smitten with "Modern Family" star Vergara and arranged for an introduction by fellow Scientologist Will Smith. Cruise, Morton writes, had "casually suggested that Vergara join him on a trip to the Scientology Celebrity Centre in Hollywood," but the actress balked at the religion, finding it "cloying and suffocating." One could argue that Vergara failed her audition.
With other actresses, Cruise needed no such personal introductions. Cruise reportedly met both Johansson and Holmes on a different sort of audition -- when they tried out for a role in "Mission Impossible III," which Cruise produced. Johansson was initially slated to co-star in the film, but she dropped out after Cruise allegedly forced Scientology literature on her. Holmes didn't get the role (which eventually went to Michelle Monaghan), but began dating Cruise -- whom she had admired for years -- shortly thereafter. Unlike the other actresses Cruise had approached, Holmes seemed to embrace Scientology. In 2006, she delivered the couple's daughter, Suri, in a "silent birth," a church practice that encourages minimal noise to avoid negatively affecting the mother and child.

Katie Holmes
I Don't Want Scientology
Interrogating Suri

Exclusive

Katie Holmes desperately wanted to save Suri from a form of interrogation practiced by the Church of Scientology that she was steadfastly against ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to Katie tell TMZ, back in 2005 she had witnessed Tom's other kids participating in a Scientology ritual she found to be troubling ... and feared Tom would drag Suri through the same process.

Ex-Scientologists call the process "sec checking." Here's the way it works. The subject holds electrode handles on a device called an e-meter and is then asked a series of personal questions that help the Church locate "areas of spiritual distress."

Some ex-Scientologists claim the questions include:

-- What has somebody told you not to tell?
-- Have you ever decided you did not like some member of your family?
-- Have you ever bullied a smaller child?
-- Have you ever lied to a teacher?
-- Have you ever done something you were very much ashamed of?
-- Have you ever refused to obey an order from someone you should obey?
-- Have you ever gotten yourself dirty on purpose?

During the process, a person called an "auditor" collects e-meter readings.

Several ex-Scientologists have come out against "sec checking," claiming it's a mild form of psychological terrorism designed, in part, to get children to report on their parents.

We're told Katie would have none of it and it is one of the reasons she broke from the Church and ultimately Tom.

Tom Cruise
Katie is Using Suri
As a Weapon

Exclusive

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have cut off all contact with each other, and her people are making it difficult for Tom to have contact with his daughter ... sources very familiar with the situation tell TMZ.

Although Tom now has "absolutely no contact with Katie," his people are negotiating/bickering with Katie's people over when and how Tom can talk to Suri. We're told Tom does speak with his daughter by phone at least once a day, but sources connected with Tom say it hasn't been easy.

We're told when Tom's on the phone with Suri, there is one place he has not gone ... he has NOT discussed the breakup of his marriage with his daughter.

As for when Tom will attempt to see Suri ... sources say it's not going to happen for awhile. We're told Tom was in L.A. for the 4th but he's leaving before the weekend to shoot his new movie in The Rockies.

Our sources say things are "really bitter now" between Tom and Katie. He feels betrayed by her and thinks she is using Suri as a weapon.

And you don't need sources to know one thing -- if he's blocked from seeing Suri, his lawyers will make a beeline for court.

I think L. Ron Hubbard was an amazing guy.

And, I don't think Scientology is any crazier than The Bible. :shrug:

Read Dianetics.

If you've ever felt there was something holding you back in life, ruining your plans and stopping you from being who you want to be, you were right.
The fact is, there is a single source of all your problems, stress, unhappiness and self-doubt. it's called the reactive mind -- the hidden part of your mind that stores all painful experiences, then uses them against you.
Dianetics gets rid of the reactive mind. It's the only thing that does. With over 21,000,000 copies sold in 50 languages, and used in more than 150 nations, Dianetics brings dramatic and permanent improvement to people all over the world.
Don't live with insecurity, negative thoughts, depression and irrational behavior. Use Dianetics and get rid of your reactive mind.

Getcha a copy right here.

Thursday, July 5th 2012 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.

Katie Holmes: Scientology's Worst Nightmare

Newser) ? The Hollywood Reporter takes a long look at the Tom Cruise-Katie Holmes split today, talking to a number of ex-Scientologists who marvel at the way she's handling the divorce?she's clearly on the offensive, quite the opposite of Nicole Kidman, who ended up basically losing her children to Cruise. "Katie could blow Scientology wide open," says Marty Rathbun, who handled Cruise's divorce from Kidman and was once considered the second most powerful church official. "If Tom?s smart, he won?t fight her on anything, even custody. He should just try to settle his way out of it. She could press this sole-custody issue and litigate it and that would be the biggest nightmare in the Church of Scientology?s history. It would be a circus they couldn?t survive." Another former high-level Scientologist agrees that Holmes could stir up a "media frenzy" that would "drive a wedge in a door that Scientology was trying to keep closed." The entire extensive article is worth a read. More details trickling out:

• Holmes fired Cruise's daughter Isabella, who worked at her clothing line, Holmes and Yang, about two months ago. "This was a carefully planned ambush," says a source.
• Indeed, she may have hinted at what was to come in an interview six weeks before filing for divorce, the New York Post reports. Holmes told Elle she felt she was "starting to come into my own. It's like a new phase."
• Katie is making it hard for Tom to talk to daughter Suri, sources tell TMZ, though he talks to her by phone at least once each day. Predictably, that means things are "really bitter now" between him and Holmes.
• Katie has spoken publicly for the first time since filing for divorce, telling a New York Daily News reporter, "I'm all right?thank you." And she does seem "all right"?click to see pictures of her looking carefree and happy at an ice cream parlor with Suri.

Meet the Man Behind Katie Holmes' Split



...her dad, Martin Holmes






It's Day 6 of the Katie Holmes-Tom Cruise divorce watch, and the updates?you guessed it?just keep coming. People reports that dad Martin Holmes played a big part in "orchestrating" his daughter's split from the actor. Not only is Martin "very rigid" and rumored to have been apprehensive about Katie's relationship with Cruise, he's also a lawyer who handles matrimonial law ... though he won't be part of his daughter's official legal team. He reportedly flew into NYC last week to help her fire a number of employees. In other news:

• People also spills plenty of details on the lead-up to the divorce, which involved "meticulous planning" on Holmes' part. A source tells the mag that "her inner circle has been planning this and switching out cell phones since she was in China [in mid-June]. When new cell phones arrived, then nobody could reach her. Her old best friends from last week don't have her new number, no email. She's unreachable."
• How did Holmes manage to rent a new apartment last month without making Cruise suspicious? The source says she told him she wanted to move to a place with an underground garage, to better protect her from the paparazzi.
• Still, as recently as last week she was telling Tom, via phone, "I love you," says the source.
• And TMZ offers more on Holmes' Scientology fears. It says she was present when Cruise's other kids participated in a ritual in 2005, in which they hold an "e-meter" and answer questions designed to help identify "areas of spiritual distress." She didn't want Suri to have to do it. Among the questions that can be asked: "Have you ever decided you did not like some member of your family?" Click to read more of the questions.

Tommy & Katie Are Settling Shit Behind Closed Doors

At least we'll always have this masterpiece from the Museum of Beards of Katie Holmes and Tommy Girl looking like two butch power lezzies at the top of their game. Those were the days when Tommy could hit a few keys on Stepford Katie's control pad and get her dress up like a power top to his power bottom. But the roles have reversed and Katie's the one controlling a bitch for now.
TMZ says that Tommy has pressed pause on his plans to file for divorce in California and is playing nice with Katie by keeping their custody fight in New York. TMZ also farted into our popcorn bags, because they claim that Tommy and Katie won't give us some extra dramatic Kramer vs. Kramer shit in a public court room anytime soon. BOOOOOOOO. Tommy's NY lawyers and Katie's lawyers are in a conference room somewhere in Manhattan quietly negotiating custody of Scientology's golden child, child support and money shit. One source says that if shit goes well, they can figure everything out in NY and won't have to move this mess to CA.
Well, well, well..... Earlier this week, Tommy was all ready to put on his best pair of stompin' heels and fight a trick hard. My guess is that Tommy changed his mind when Katie strolled to his locked closet door, held up its key and threatened to open it. Tommy is all for a bitch squeezing his nuts, but not like this and not by Katie. I love it. Oh, to be a Thetan sipping a martini on the end of Tommy's butt plug during those negotiations. I'd love to feel the clench of his nalgas as Katie threatens to tell everyone about the Shrine to David Beckham in his dungeon unless he agrees to not give Suri a Kiddie's First E-Meter Kit for her next birthday.
