Tom Cruise makes Katie Holmes take Scientology voice lessons for stage role

[mrs.v]

The tabloids were buzzing a couple of weeks ago that Katie Holmes is leaving Tom because she was at their home Telluride, Colorado while Tom Cruise was encamped at Scientology Celebrity Centre in LA. Their massive new mansion is undergoing renovations, and maybe they just decided to take a separate vacation. As much as I would relish a real story that they’re breaking up, no one really seemed to have the details or evidence to back it up.
One tabloid tale that rings true to me claims that Cruise discouraged Katie from taking that stage role in Arthur Miller’s “All My Sons” in New York. She is still said to be negotiating with producers, and Tom supposedly told her she doesn’t have the voice to do stage work. He sent her for voice training to - where else - the Scientology Celebrity Center:

[Tom Cruise] dumped on [Katie Holmes’] dream of starring on Broadway… in “All My Sons” - insisting her voice is far too drail to “project and dominate” in live theater!… Disagreeing angrily… Katie filnally caved and agreed to obey Her Lord and Master’s Looney-Order of the Day: Proceed immediately to Scientology Celebrity Centre in Hollywood, where a church-approved coach will exercise and strengthen your vocal cords!

She looks AWFUL in that photo. Very impressive what her relationship and "religion" has done for her. Really looks like she's been put through the wringer.

I have to agree with the midget on this one.

Tommy knows the history of theater, damn it!

[Brookie]

Katie has a voice made for silent films.

[Belinda]

what a supportive hubby... he's a hell of a guy

[Bijoux]

Who knew the CO$ had so many training options....

I mean, first it was birthing classes, and now voice lessons "Katie, STFU....OK now be LOUD!"

....fuck, I guess the only thing we know they don't give is dancing lessons.

[aabbcc]

Why even bother with any sort of lessons? It's not like TinyTom is ever going to let her appear in something that might be a hit or be good for her career. Heaven forbid, she might become more successful than him [which wouldn't be hard at this point]. His ego would never stand for it.

Oh dear God - she should not sing

[Belinda]

Couldn't they have dubbed it?

[Ettabell]

She sounds like Britney Spears without all the computer changes! You know, when she actually sings? Ick.
Didnt she look so beautiful and alive then?? She looks like a chic zombie now.

[Buffy Burnett]

They look like they're merging into one body--KATIE, RUN! Get out before you lose the rest of your own identity! Nicole had enough and now she never sees her own kids!!!

[GaPeach]

OK is that a joke? I mean really?
she sounds like she's been sucking on a helium balloon

now that I think about it he must have had a hard time getting someone to take his contract because she really isn't much of a bargain.. her role in Bat Man sucked so I'm thinking she can't act and she can't sing and the kid she produced ain't even his..

They both look horrible and strung out. If they weren't rabid Scienos I'd say they'd been hanging out with Blaaaake and Amy, but obviously with better skin care.

[cheray]

She even hit some OK notes, but without any resonance unfortunately, ooops oh no, that didnt sound good.............aah no its crap.
