How Tom Cruise picked up Katie Holmes

**MaryJane** · November 17th, 2005, 09:54 AM

"Tom has licensed a strange way of picking up women.
Star magazine reports about how the two began dating. Tom's agent called Katie's publicist, saying his client wanted to meet Katie.
It was that simple. No wonder Oprah's not buying it, labeling the whole deal ‘a publicity stunt’.

The phone call occurred in April last year, and everyone was certain it was all about a business meeting.
But, according to the source cited by the Star, "they met in his office and talked for over three hours, and none of it had to do with work.
By the end, he asked her out on a date."

It is well known that Katie had declared in the past for “Seventeen” magazine that she grew up wanting to marry Tom. So, she probably pinched herself when Tom asked her out.
“She couldn't believe Tom Cruise was asking her out!”, said the source.

A couple of days after the meeting, Tom was waiting for Katie in front of her home with a stretch limo filled with flowers and chocolate. The two went to one of Tom's private jets, where, instead of flying off, they had a fancy dinner.

Their privacy was on occasions interrupted, as “Tom kept having 'friends' drop by (the plane)”, who were all fellow Scientology members who praised the virtues of the religion.

Next day, Tom and Katie flew to Rome, where they stayed in a $3,500 a-night suite in Hotel Hassler."

And the rest, as they say, is history...

"Oh hey Tom...I was just in the neighbourhood [of the freaking AIRPORT] and thought I might just drop by. - Oh are you in the middle of something? Anyways, I brought you some wine...and this awesome pamphlet "Scientology" or something? It's pretty exciting, I hear all the cool actors are doing it."

She may have resembled the virgin mary, xenu told tom to inseminate her with demon seed

I don't think you're dumb if you get 5 million for each year you are "with" a gay guy. I mean,. she won't have to do shit, just kiss this guy which she does as her normal job.

she is not a dumbass, maybe someone who isn't honest as appears to be, but not dumb. I think in the end, she is very smart. she probably was pregnant already.

I think there's a lot more Katie has done than just to pretend to be with Tom. Like giving up her Catholicism, abandoning her friends, families and relatives who didn't convert to scientology etc. She may not be all that dumb but aint all too smart either.

I wouldn't join a cult even if I was paid $5 mil a month.

as long as they didnt try to force me to drink " kool-aid" i'd join a cult for a few mil.

When they asked her how she met Tom, the love of her life,
she said she didn't remember.

The love of her life. The man whose poster was on her
bedroom wall. The man that she wanted to marry when she
was a teeny-bopper.

I guess they have to continue the act. He can't just shrug and
say, "Oh, well, I guess we might as well drop it" and dump her.

she said she couldn't remember?

what the hell?

haha i hope for her sake that's the case. kind of like the old marriages of convenience that were arranged in order to produce heirs and keep up a façade, while in reality both partners led separate lives...
and i kind of wondered if she was pregnant already. maybe chris klein got paid off as well, to keep his mouth shut, unless he wasn't the father either... and she really isn't as innocent as she looks...

Errrr...........you dont get money to join cults..........sorry....but I know you do give all YOUR OWN money and who ever elses you can get ya hands on just to be one of 'them'. Why is money so damn important to cults? Who gets it all? Who wins in the end? What has money got to do with religion?
Or is that a dumb question?
