    I say "pfffft" to kathy C. Tom was great until Katie put some sort of wierd voodoo mojo on him. I still just don't get what he sees in her. I mean, she so does not even compare to Nicole.

    I like Katie Holmes, but I wonder if the offers would be there for her if she wasn't "Mrs. Tom Cruise"? "Mad Money" was really a cute movie, but no blockbuster. She has yet to prove she has real lasting talent.
