Katie Holmes - Cruise controls

The Scientologist with sex appeal
Katie Holmes
This is my future. This is my family and I care so much about them. The stories are not okay. It eats away at me because it’s just not okay.

We like to think that Katie is doing a little victory dance after beating her mate Victoria Beckham in the 100 Sexiest Women in the World 2008 chart. Maybe a dance similar to the one Tom Cruise does as the credits roll in Tropic Thunder.

The Scientologist-turned-MILF married her Top Gun pilot on 18 November 2006 at Odescalchi Castle in Bracciano, Italy. As befitting a Scientology wedding, the ceremony was attended by a host of Hollywood stars and a select few aliens of high importance.

In November the following year, Katie ran and successfully completed the New York Marathon in under five and a half hours. Some people will do anything to get away from their weird spouses for a bit.
