Katie Holmes: "I'm learning about Scientology, and I'm excited"
http://people.aol.com/people/articles/0,19736,1069522,00.html

Katie Holmes is willing to take on all scoffers when it comes to her very public relationship with Tom Cruise.

"Things like articles, whatever, I don't care," says the Batman Begins star, according to USA Today. "If you're not on board, then fine. Fine. I'm so happy. I truly feel like the luckiest woman in the world."

As Holmes, 26, says of her 42-year-old boyfriend (since March): " I just feel so lucky to know him. It's such a privilege to love him. That's how I feel." Of Cruise's Scientology faith, Holmes says only: "I'm learning about it. And I'm excited."

She adds: "There are so many people who are so happy for us. And we're so happy. We're really enjoying each other. I miss him when he leaves the room. I miss him right now. I love being with him every second of the day."

10. It's my ultimate fantasy to try to figure out how to live and love
with all of the world watching every thing I say or do. I believe that would help me make better decision, make any relationship I have more stable, and will certainly bring out all of the people who have my best interest at heart, rather than all the busy-body prudish know-it-alls who advise me now.

16. *This* is why he's "SO" in love with her.
He finally found a woman who would get into that.
Nicole didn't, Penelope didn't... and here we have the reason he's gone nutso.

33. Are they still together?
I wasn't sure, but I agree, I like that pair much better--unless Mattie's going to finally marry Sandra Bullock like he should have done before!!

Um, sorry, caring too much about celebrities again, LOL...

But, fortunately, they don't appear on the covers of tabloids very often.

17. She must be a reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel elitist:
1. To be bonking Tom Cruise, just like many other woman have. (Tommy is such a slut)

2. To be so willing to become brainwashed. Of course, if a big celeb was dating me, I might be so gullible too. (then again, better people have tried to con me and failed.)

Of course, the little bimbette hasn't actually learned anything about Scientology yet.

What a ditz.

24. I think Cruise is opening a can of alien volcano worms.
There will be a backlash.

Here's an interview from Der Spiegel.

That's the nice thing about having money and power...you CAN live in a vaccuum.

40. I would suspect the reasons why Mimi, Nicole & Penelope never lasted...
...was because all of these women were smart enough not to get brainwashed by Scientology. Rumor has it that Nicole refused to have her children raised in Scientology.

Tom likes Katie because Katie was a nobody starlet who is willing to submit to Scientology in order to make a name for herself. It's probably the closest to anyone selling their soul to the devil in order to make it big.

I'm sure Mimi, Nicole & Penelope are all having a good laugh over Tom's little playtoy

41. From what I understand, Mimi INTRODUCED him to it.
Edited on Tue Jun-07-05 08:21 PM by Bush_Eats_Beef
http://www.rickross.com/reference/scientology/celebrities/celebrities57.html

Cruise was introduced to Scientology in 1989 by his first wife, Mimi Rogers (she grew up in the cult), and claimed it cured his dyslexia. The actor has been a zealous evangelist for the sect ever since.

Such is his devotion that he has already donated £10million of his estimated £150million-plus fortune and, in September, opened a new Church of Scientology in Madrid.

His split from Spanish actress Penelope Cruz earlier this year was reportedly blamed in part on tensions between the pair over his single-minded dedication to the movement.

Since he parted company earlier this year with his long-time personal publicist Pat Kingsley (who brilliantly steered Cruise's public persona for 14 years), he has barely stopped talking about Scientology.

43. Ok, Mimi was replaced because she was older and Tom wanted an upgrade
But still, at least Nicole & Penelope were smart to steer clear!

44. She's confusing scientology with science fiction.
Cruise is in that new "War of the Worlds" movie.
