Us Weekly: How Katie Holmes Won; What She Knows About Tom Cruise
July 11, 2012 by Hollywoodite
This week’s Us Weekly Magazine cover, like this week’s People Magazine cover, is another paste of information left over from last week. Even the tabloids sound burnt out from covering this from every angle, and they’re only pushing the print edition once-per-week (the online editions have been pushing online soundbites drowned in 500 words of irrelevant exposition for pageviews all week too).
The cover says: “How Katie Beat Tom. What She Knows. Weird Scientology sessions with Suri; Constant monitoring by Tom’s spies; Her private calls to Nicole Kidman; Why Tom’s desperate to keep Katie quiet.”
In short, this is a slightly more pro-Holmes story with some questionable information about how Katie Holmes “blew” (church parlance for leaving without permission). Us Weekly leads us to believe Nicole Kidman is a crux in all this. And, again, the really, really old disposable phone angle is in there like that wasn’t revealed the day of the divorce filing.
Katie Holmes has friends in high places, and that includes Nicole Kidman.
As Holmes, 33, struggled and secretly plotted to end her marriage to Tom Cruise, she found a pillar of support in her husband’s second ex-wife, who divorced the actor in 2001.
“They’ve spoken over the last few weeks,” a confidante tells the new Us Weekly of Holmes and Kidman, 45. “Nicole has been supportive, saying she’s been through it too and to hang in there.” (One way Holmes may have made those secret calls to Kidman? The Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday that the Romantics actress used a disposable cell phone provided by a pal to plot her divorce without the detection of Cruise and his team.)
It’s not a brand new friendship either, the confidante says, telling Us that the women have been speaking since Holmes’ 2006 marriage to Cruise, 50. Kidman shares kids Isabella, 19, and Connor, 17, with Cruise, although much has been made of her estrangement from their kids.
“She has been a private friend not many people know about,” the source continues.
As Holmes reached the breaking point in her marriage to Cruise, and with mounting fears about daughter Suri, she reached out again to Kidman for advice. “Nicole offered her support and help,” the insider adds. – via Us Weekly Magazine.
Yesterday, a source told Us Weekly of Holmes: “She won and is happy. Very happy. She can move on and finally live her life. [She] did this only for her daughter. That was all she cared about. [She] pulled it off brilliantly. She has her career back and her daughter. She will be a huge star now… This was all played so well. Katie is very happy with how it all came out.”
