DIGG THIS
FACEBOOKgive her time to blossom into a bona fide actress like nicole kidman? how old is katie now? she's nearly 30, and honestly, compared to those many many actresses out there around her age bracket, her film career seems rather lacking.....i've seen that mrs. tingle movie, first daughter, wonder boys and thank you for not smoking. in none of them did she strike me as an actress, truly able to transcend their self to become their role. meryl streep was an amazing actress from an early age, angelina jolie, charlize theron, anna paquin, sienna miller, scarlett johannsen....
and please, it's not jealousy. if it were, shouldn't i be more jealous of the actresses named above. a lot of other actress celebrities make much more than katie holmes per film.
and posh was not a gold-digger! in fact, the reverse, as she comes from a very wealthy family whereas david beckham is working class. katie definitely married up in all respects, more money, more talent, more fame -- she can't act, mad money is utter proof. she should content herself being suri's mother and tom cruise's wife, or find another field that she's better at.

Kate Holmes is getting harsh reactions from critics in her first return to the big screen since wedding Tom Cruise and welcoming daughter Suri.
“And the cinematic comeback of the year award goes to…somebody other than Katie Holmes,” says a New York Post critic, who calls her new heist comedy Mad Money, co-starring Queen Latifah and Diane Keaton, “the most cringe-making return since Love Boat: The Next Wave.
“Holmes, with Alice Cooper hair and crazy Jim Carrey eyes, looks terrible and acts worse, unless this movie is unintentionally a lobotomy documentary,” the reviewer writes. “Whatever could have happened to her in the last couple of years to zap the talent out of her like this?”
The New York Times says Holmes is “the movie’s weakest link.”
Variety adds that throughout the film “Holmes is awkwardly upsetting the balance” between Latifah and Keaton.
“Their heist is only the pretext for jinks that range from medium high (as played out by Queen Latifah and Diane Keaton) to painfully low (as perpetrated by Katie Holmes, who pops her eyes, scrunches her nose and shakes her booty in lieu of acting),” writes the Wall Street Journal.
Holmes, who seems to have changed a lot since her early days based on her talk show appearances this week, also recently got flak for some questionable style moves in NYC.
Tell Us: Are you going to see Mad Money this weekend?

YOU CANNOT HAVE IT ALL. THEY WILL NOT LET YOU.
I agree with "Fed Up" - this girl's still figuring out her way in hollywood movies - very different from tv. And it has to be hard when you're under a microscope - I would have a tough time with that too. She's going to make some missteps (does anyone remember "Ishtar" or, for that matter, "Labyrinth" - Cruise's misstep early in his career?).
don't get me wrong, i think her hubby is wildly misguided, and maybe a little dangerous, and I'm a little concerned that in all her interviews lately, she seems labotomized (everything is a "miracle" or "amazing), but she's trying. that's all any of us can do. a $10k birkin, a little much. But there's no perspective here, guys. They've both been wealthy since they were teenagers - it doesn't take long to lose touch with reality when your bank account is full. Give her a break. She'll come around - just like Nicole did.
She never was an established actress to begin with and if she thought that marrying Tom Cruise was going to help her career, boy was she wrong! I remember something about her saying that when she was younger, she dreamed about marrying him. This probably wasn't what she had in mind. She should have stuck w/ that american pie guy, what's his name.
Katie was already bad before, she could not act at Batman, and she certianly could not act here. There is no screen prescence or even acting skills. She should find something else to do cuz acting is definitely not it. And what is this with Tom saying he saved USA at 9/11 ????hello, millions of people were killed and I did not even see him in any video, ehlping out there, donating money or even using his flying skills to help those who needed it at the time...is he dreaming or insane ??? Now he sayd psychiatry does not work > does he even have the education or intelligence to support his statement ? obviously not, for somebody who has not even finished university, he sure has a lot of hutzpah with all his stupid comments...somebody wake him up
Maybe the media ought to just give us a break and quit disussing Cruise and his puppet wife on every website, newspaper and magazine. I am sick and tired of seeing them everywhere. What contribution have either of them made to society besides starring in some movies? The media acts like they are king and queen of the country. I, for one, would like to see less of them. If the media would just let it go and remember that not everyone wants to see their faces plastered everywhere all the time, I would be much happier.
OMG - how many times has anyone really agreed with the critics? How many times have you gone to see a movie, enjoyed it, then gone home to read the reviews only to learn that you were supposed to find the acting tedious, uninspired, etc etc. Gads gang - who cares what some bitter little self-important know it all has to say about her or her performance. See the movie for yourselves and then form your own opinion.
Folks - stop letting the media tell you what to think and how to interpret what you see with your own eyes!! Seriously... unless you have any actual tangible knowledge or facts, what possesses you to make public statements about their marriage or make accusations of psychological abuse (control, etc)!?! Do you realize that is what you are doing? Just because it's in print, doesn't make it true!
Her career is faltering?? What career? She was a young, fresh-faced kid on a teen series who acted in a couple movies???!? She's just getting started! The only reason she is a household name is because she made the mistake of falling in love with one of the most famous men in the world. Oh the sin and shame! (yeesh folks) Perhaps it's time everyone spent a little more time evaluating their own value/contributions and a little less attacking others.
11:19- What are you? Somekind of gaywad?! Shut the f*ck up and remove the d*ck in your mouth.
What professional track. She has never been a good actress. It dosn't matter what role she takes - she will just suck up the movie. That is what she does best - next to shopping that is.
Katie Holmes is in desperate need of a professional in the movie industry (not Tom Cruise) to give her serious career advice. If she blows another movie role, she will find that they stop coming in. She cannot afford that. It is move up or move out and no in between. She needs to get back on professional track.
Scientology, a religion? I disagree. It's a cult. Listen to Cruise talk in that video that got released. It's craziness and he's just plain delusional. There is nothing religious about it.
Ok, I am only posting this cause I am absolutley appauled. You all have nothing better to do but to bash someone is says that she is the happiest she has ever been. She is married, has a child, and looks wonderful. Not anorexic or old by any means. I look up to her for her wonderful looks and choices of clothing. would you rather have her being 30 years old and trying desperatley to look like a teenager?! Do something better with your time. And as far as Scientology goes, no I don't agree with it, but what the heck happened to religious freedom.
She was so fascinated with "the biggest movie star in the world" (oh give me a break) that she let him take over her life. She is nothing more than his puppet. She gave up her own religion to join his Scientology cult. She'll never be able to leave him withoug giving up her child to Scientology just as Nicole was expected to do when that marriage was over. Has anyone ever questioned why the man can't stay married to one woman? This is his third marriage. If I were Katie's family, I'd be doing my best to get her out of that situation. She is so obsessed with all the "excitment" of being married to a rich movie star that she didn't bother to look at what her life will be like in the far off future. God be with her and that child as Tom Cruise will certainly do his best to control her every move.
What on earth happened to this girl? Marrying Tom Cruise was obviously the beginning of her demise. He's such a control freak that I wouldn't doubt if he hand picks her cr@ppy roles for her - no romantic comedies, no movies that involve interacting with men, period. I wouldn't put it past him. The man is a wackjob beyond belief. He's probably behind her drastic change in style too, making her look more and more like a 40 year old woman every passing day. Let's hope she comes to her senses soon, even though something tells me that she won't.
I agree about the apparent lack of versatility with her acting...just like some other actors who simply appear in a film, looking like they do in real life even (where's the creativity?)while seeming almost jaded instead of 'in character'. I wish movies and actors would
be more like George Clooney and his projects, or just plain not so mediocre.
WHY CAN'T I POST THIS??!?!
As if anyone is surprised by this. She almost made a comeback with "Batman Begins" (even though she couldn't act in that either), but she blew it when the whole TomKat thing. Prepare to become a full-time, money-spending housewife, Katie!
Hell no i'm not going to see this smoking fecal material of a movie! I can't believe Keaton & Queen Latifah have sunk so low! I agree, to see a good KH movie check out 'Go' or 'Pieces of April.' KH should've done the Batman sequel. OOPS! sorry Tommy wouldn't let her do that film! PS I am not jealous. I can't stand her hubby!
All you guys are just jealous. Katie is an awesome actress with a natural beauty. She is one of my favorite actress. So stop bugging on her.
See Pieces of April if you want to see KH in a great movie
She was okay in the movie "Go" other than that she pretty much sucks!
religious bigotry???
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, I think I've heard it all now!!!!!
So I guess when they rip Paris Hiltons acting abilities to shreds it's because of religious bigotry....not because she simply SUCKS????
KATIE LOOKS LIKE AN ANOREXIC OLD HAG! SHE HAS AGED THIRTY YEARS RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES! SHE IS NOT EVEN REAL ANYMORE!
REALLY... the jealousy trip some of you are on is hysterical. It doesn't matter what religion she practices, who she's married to, how much her child's clothes cost... She's a person too! There is only one reason anyone would say such hateful, nasty things... JEALOUSY! If you're mad because Katie Holmes is fortunate enough to have money, looks, celebrity, etc... go do something that will get you the same thing! You have to start somewhere and Katie Holmes began just as many young actresses and actors do... she's paid her dues and deserves some credit. If you don't like her acting style, that's okay... but don't cut her down, belittle her entire career and polk fun at her life - you're only making yourself look foolish, and if I am correct, that is not your intention.
I think that people who comment on these silly collumns have no life ie me. I was just wondering, do you all look in the mirror and think you are perfect. I will bet not. Katie is human just like the rest of us and the fact that she is trying to be the best she can, you should give her a little credit. There are countless bad actors in Hollywood these days. At least she's out making something of herself unlike the rest of us who have nothing better to do than sit at our computers and write nasty things about other people we don't know!
Katie is super materialistic! All she does is shop and spends loads of money on herself and her kid! Thats what shes become and its sad.
She's a talentless hack.
I agree with 2:41. What a shallow, greedy, materalistic woman she's become. But then, when you've got Victoria Beckham as a best friend, what else would you expect? "Golddigging wh*re" comes to mind, and she learned it all from her BFF Victoria!
She is BORING!
I feel that this is a very shallow family. They have sooo much money, yet all Katie does is spend, spend, spend on clothing for her and her "woman". That money should be put to better use. There are starving people and she gets a new $10,000 bag, and 20,000 perfume. He says that Scientologists are the only people that can help. They should start by donating money to the needy. But no - if there was no money and shopping there would be no Katie Holmes. It looks like that is all she wants Tom for is his money! SAD!
