Tom Cruise Tabloid Lawsuit Moves to Private Mediation

March 5, 2013 – 7:45 pm

If you were hoping to watch Tom Cruise's legal battle against "In Touch" and "Life & Style" publishers Bauer Publishing Company play out in public, you're out of luck.

Cruise's lawsuit against Bauer has been moved to private mediation, according to papers filed in U.S. District Court in Central California on Friday.

The move was expected; a motion filed last month indicated that the case would move to private mediation if the suit wasn't settled 45 days prior to the final pretrial conference. And judging from comments issued by Cruise's attorney Bert Fields since the suit was filed, the "Top Gun" actor doesn't seem to be much in a settling mood on this one.

Cruise filed his $50 million defamation lawsuit against Bauer in October, claiming that Life & Style and In Touch said he had abandoned his daughter, Suri, following his split from wife Katie Holmes.

Katie Holmes & Suri’s Tennis Time

March 4, 2013 – 10:02 pm

Headed out for some after school fun, Katie Holmes took her daughter Suri to play tennis at a racquet club in New York City on Monday (March 4).

The "Teaching Mrs. Tingle" actress casually chic in a winter white jacket, dark leggings and black booties as she and her mini me were escorted back out to their awaiting car.

Speaking of Katie's always stunning style, it seems as if more is less in the eyes of the 34 year-old fashion designer.

"The most extreme beauty look I've tried was when I dyed my hair red once, for work. I did not enjoy the experience. I'm just not that person who's going to change my colour every few weeks," Katie told the British edition of ELLE magazine. "My approach to beauty is to be as natural as possible and make decisions that make sense. If I'm going to wear heavier make-up, it's dictated by the event; for the Met Ball I can do something very dramatic, but I wouldn't do that for a movie premiere. "

"Dead Accounts," Theresa Rebeck's comedic play starring Katie Holmes and Tony Award winner Norbert Leo Butz, will close on Jan. 6 -- seven weeks ahead of schedule.

Staged by Tony Award-winning director Jack O'Brien, the play revolves around Jack, a Wall Street hotshot (played by Butz), who unexpectedly returns to his Cincinnati home with a dark secret, throwing his family into a frenzy. In addition to Holmes, who plays Jack's sister, the cast includes Josh Hamilton, Judy Greer and Jayne Houdyshell.

"I am extremely proud of this production and the cast. Theresa Rebeck and Jack O'Brien have created an inspiring and hilarious new play, and we are all sad to see 'Dead Accounts' end on Broadway," producer Jeffrey Finn said in a statement. "I look forward to working with this remarkably talented cast and creative team again very soon."

The Best Way to Beat Scientology is to Rap About it

December 12, 2012 – 4:00 pm
We’re cursed with the looming specter of Scientology casting a shadow over our every being. We’re all screwed, you know, in their eyes. We’re non believers. We won’t get saved when the apocalypse comes and aliens or whatever bizarro God Scientologists have comes down to judge us all. But that’s okay, because ordinary people are [...]

Katie Holmes in ‘Dead Accounts’: What Did the Critics Think?

November 30, 2012 – 3:21 pm

With her marriage to Tom Cruise firmly ensconced in the rearview mirror, Katie Holmes has returned to Broadway to star in Theresa Rebeck's "Dead Accounts."

But the "Dawson's Creek" actress who will forever be synonymous with one mega-star's epic Oprah freakout, got credit from many critics for giving it the proverbial college try -- although most reviewers savaged the production. 

"Dead Accounts" centers on a hotshot Wall Street-type (Norbert Leo Butz) who returns to his Cincinnati home with a dark secret. Holmes plays his sister who is still living at home and nursing their father through a kidney stones attack. It marks her second appearance on the Great White Way after a tepidly received turn in a 2008 revival of Arthur Miller's "All My Sons."

"Dead Accounts," which also stars Josh Hamilton and Jane Houdyshell, premiered Thursday at the Music Box Theatre.

In the New York Times, Ben Brantley was surprisingly gentle in his treatment of Holmes even as he dripped acid over Rebeck's attempt to say something profound about America's post-Recession doldrums.

"Let me assure you that Ms. Holmes, who was a tad unsteady in her Broadway debut four years ago in Arthur Miller's 'All ...

Tom Cruise-Katie Holmes Case Could Spur ‘Divorce Tourism’

November 13, 2012 – 3:32 pm

The intense media coverage of high-profile celebrity divorces, like that of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, can quickly result in a degree of "reader fatigue." But one fundamental aspect of what was one of the quickest divorce settlements in history is the developing concept of forum shopping in divorce cases. 

Holmes made the unexpected decision, apparently catching Tom totally unaware, to file in New York as opposed to California, where the couple had been residing and brought up their daughter, Suri. However, with custody as opposed to maintenance being the key consideration for Holmes, New York's historical reluctance to grant joint custody where the parents are at war with each other appeared to be a determining factor in the decision to file there. 

While choice of jurisdiction has always been a factor in high-profile international family disputes, the publicity surrounding Holmes' actions is likely to lead to more wealthy couples standing back and deciding which jurisdiction they are entitled to litigate in. If there is a choice for them,they can assess which court is likely to give them what they want, or at least put them in a stronger negotiating position with their spouse.

Jurisdictional options are ...

Tom Cruise Hits Back at Vanity Fair Piece on Wife Auditions

September 5, 2012 – 4:09 pm

Updated, 4:03 p.m. EST

Tom Cruise is firing back at an explosive Vanity Fair cover story that alleges the Church of Scientology conducted an elaborate audition to find the actor a wife before he became engaged to Katie Holmes.

In a statement, Cruise's attorney Bert Fields labeled the piece by reporter Maureen Orth in this month's issue, "Long, boring and false."

The report claims that in 2004, Scientology embarked on a top-secret project to find Cruise a significant other by grilling actresses who were also members of the church about their sex lives and their feelings about the "Mission: Impossible" star.

One candidate,  Nazanin Boniadi, was selected and dated Cruise for three months, before the actor broke off the relationship. As a punishment for talking about her relationship with the actor, Orth reports that the church forced Boniadi  to scrub toilets with a toothbrush and dig ditches in the middle of the night.

But Fields slammed the story as little more than tabloid fodder.

"Vanity Fair's story is essentially a rehash of tired old lies previously run in the supermarket tabloids, quoting the same bogus 'sources,'" Fields said.

Cruise's five-year marriage to Holmes ended in divorce this summer.

Hollywood Invades Broadway: Which Big Stars Are Headlining on the Great White Way?

August 30, 2012 – 10:38 pm

Like East Coast snowbirds heading south to Florida, Hollywood stars are prepping to make their annual trek east to the Broadway stages.

Jessica Chastain, Katie Holmes and Al Pacino are among the actors scheduled to hit the boards in high-profile plays on Broadway. Others, including Jake Gyllenhaal and Gretchen Mol will perform off-Broadway.

Their names above the title often mean the difference between box-office boom or bomb.

There are countless examples of the challenges they face, as Julia Roberts discovered in 2006 when she took on Richard Greenberg's "Three Days of Rain." Her Broadway debut made the limited-run revival the hottest ticket in town, but the critics were brutal. Ben Brantley of the New York Times, an admitted "Juliaholic," wrote, "Your heart goes out to her when she makes her entrance in the first act and freezes with the unyielding stiffness of an industrial lamppost."

And "Entourage's" Jeremy Piven found out quickly that diva behavior would not be tolerated after dropping out of the 2008 revival of David Mamet's "Speed-the-Plow" because of "acute mercury poisoning." Despite good notices, Piven had to contend with media skeptical of his illness (attributed to excessive sushi) and more focused on his ...
