AIBU To say Tom Cruise ruined Katie Holmes career?

Katie left him, seeing the light about his Scientology and/or his odd choice of life
Katie is obviously a good mum
Katie is a good actress
Katie is one of the most beautiful women EVER

I can't help but see her in past roles and think....."oh katie, you had such promise and didn't know what was coming"

I LOVE how much she takes care of her daughter. But....she could have been the next Reese Witherspoon or Amy Adams.......and she isn't.

Yabu because that assumes she had a career before they met. She was in a dodgy programme aimed at teenagers in the ninties. If she hadn't married TC as others have said we wouldn't be talking about her now, doubtful anyone would remember her. She can't act, she is pretty but looks only go so far if there's no substance behind it.

A lot of rumours about TC but none that I know of are proven facts. From what i've seen in interviews yeah, he is a bit weird but then so are a lot of people. KH chose to marry him and have his child, I doubt he held her at gunpoint.

She's not dead yet so YABU.

Pitmountainpony · 28/04/2013 16:01

Friend of a friend worked with tc on a project. He was really nice. Not gay. The ex ex wife was apparently a batch from hell.
Maybe it just did not wprk out for them.
She is good in the Kennedys.

Who is "GC" being talked about above?

cocolepew · 28/04/2013 16:44

George Clooney.

KatyTheCleaningLady · 28/04/2013 18:56

Oh, I don't think George Clooney is gay.

ClartyCarol · 28/04/2013 19:47

Hang on a minute, someone mentioned Kelly Brook upthread - who's the beard then? KB herself or the "chaperones"
? I have heard rumours...

JennyMackers · 28/04/2013 19:49

I know, that confused me too. Kelly Brooke is in a relationship with a man and recently lost a baby. If she is gay then I never knew. NOT that she would ring me up and tell me!

Lighthousekeeping · 28/04/2013 21:00

I don't believe that about Kelly one single bit.

Lighthousekeeping · 28/04/2013 21:18

Don't google The Kelly Brook rumours. You will end up on one of those gossip sites and before you know it, a whole our has passed Cheryl Cole? Cat Deeley? Rene Zellweger? Oprah Winfry? Blush

williaminajetfighter · 28/04/2013 21:27

Katie is dreadful. Awful actress. Wonky face and body. Will be happy if she quietly retires...

GoombayDanceBand · 29/04/2013 11:13

I'm sure your face and body are perfect, William...of course because that's all that counts in an actress, or indeed in a person.

Madamecastafiore · 29/04/2013 11:15

Thought she was a shit actress to be honest. Laughable next to Michelle Williams (was that her name?) in Dawsons Creek even.

Lighthousekeeping · 29/04/2013 16:04

I've never seen her in anything. I always wondered how they met. It's not like she moved in A list circles.

Madamecastafiore · 29/04/2013 20:00

What does GCs fella look like? Trying to google and can't find a picture.

Just interested.

Lighthousekeeping · 29/04/2013 22:13

There aren't any I don't think! He is a very busy hairdresser though. Worked on a lot of films. I love GC. If it is true, it must be hard living like that.

Curioustiger · 29/04/2013 22:45

Hi downtontrout ... Re KH and TC, <a class="break-all" href="//im.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2012/10/katie-holmes-divorce-scientologys" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this is a great Vanity Fair article on the audition process to be the next Mrs Cruise.

Curioustiger · 29/04/2013 22:46

Sorry sorry sorry this is. Hopefully!

GoshAnneGorilla · 29/04/2013 22:54

Can we hear more about the friend in the hot tub, Mother?

Jeremy Renner's another one in the glass closet. Ted C (gossip hounds will know who he is) got fired for doing a not blind enough, blind item that outed him.

Jake Gyllenhaal too.

Lighthousekeeping · 29/04/2013 22:58

Jake? Really?? I never heard that one.

soontobeburns · 29/04/2013 23:10

I have it on authority like mothering that Tom Cruise, Leo Dicapro and John Travolta are gay.

My mates OH is an actor in Hollywood (been in a few big movies such as red etc)

He said that he has been to parties with them where they have been all over guys.

Contacts have been signed with the media that if its reported they can be sued etc and be breaking privacy laws.

So much for freedom of speech and it makes you realise that these Lynsay Lohans and Kim Kardashians who moan about the press want it really because anything that be kept quiet.

AngiBolen · 29/04/2013 23:19

If Katie hadn't married Tom, we wouldn't be talking about her now.

I think he did her financial position an awful lot of good.

Their whole marriage was odd, IMO.

AngiBolen · 29/04/2013 23:20

I was always curious as to why Tom and Nicole didn't conceive a baby together, but both of them went on to have DC with other people. Hmm

HoveringKestrel · 29/04/2013 23:30

I'll just never understand why she chose to marry him if she didn't love him. I will not say she married him and cinceived a child if she didn't love him as that is a ridiculous thing to say about anybody I've never met.

I was just wondering if her career has now been tarnished by him, or could she bounce back?

I think she probably can, if she wanted to.

QuintessentialOHara · 29/04/2013 23:33

Jeremy Renner is not really that much in the closet, he lives with his boyfriend and the woman expecting his baby. From what I understand he is of the opinion that he does not care what the media says about his sexuality.
