When Mrs. Cruise Gets Overshadowed By Mr. Cruise

Katie Holmes recently premiered in Arthur Miller's play, “All My Sons,” and although there hasn't been that many raves about her acting - there haven't been any complaints either - which leads me to believe, she might still have a career left in show business that is not so tightly roped into her marriage to more famous half - Tom Cruise.

Unfortunately though, Tom Cruise's fame may also be Katie Holmes' downfall. Outside the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre on Broadway at this week's preview to her new play, there were 30 protesters who wanted to "Free Katie" from Scientology, as her husband - that's Tom Cruise, was in the audience with his full entourage.

Will Smith And His School of Scientology?

Will Smith and wife, Jada Pinkett Smith recently opened a new school called "New Village Academy" which is rumored to teach Scientology. This was clarified though in a recent interview with the couple where they maintained that although the school has several teachers who are Scientologists, they also have others that are Muslims and Christians. The school is to be secular and no religious teaching will be formally taught in the school.

Unlike Tom Cruise who is hardcore into Scientology, Will Smith seems to have taken some of the aspects he likes about the belief and just decided to use some of their methods in his new school.

I have nothing against Scientology but Will Smith is pretty cool to have said from US Magazine:

"I believe that my connection to my higher power is separate from everybody's. I don’t believe that the Muslims have all the answers and all the beliefs. I don’t believe the Christians have all the answers and beliefs, or that the Jews have all the answers."

It's nice when celebrities stand up for themselves.

But visit the New Village Academy website and then let me know what you think of the school. It is designed for very young impressionable children so one does have to be very careful about how teachings are relayed.

Tom Cruise Gets Persnal On The Oprah Winfrey Show

An AP source leaked some personal highlights of the Tom Cruise's 25 anniversary special guest appearance on Oprah.

This included some parts of his childhood, his wife - Katie Holmes, his daughter - Suri, his passion - Scientology and some interesting tidbits in his life since he danced in his trouser in "Risky Business." There sure will be a lot of things to talk about, which is probably why the show will be a 2-part special for Oprah. This will have to be 2 of her most highly rated episodes then as these will be full of special guest appearances as showbiz superstars congratulate Tom Cruise

Tom Cruise is said to be in talks to star in a 4th installment of Mission Impossible and he will next be seen in "Tropic Thunder" which will show in August 2008. This is Ben Stiller's movie, but apparently Tom Cruise will make a cameo appearance as a bald fatty! That should be something to watch out for.
