The latest in TomKat-gate: Katie Holmes believes a white Cadillac Escalade and black Mercedes have been tailing her. Who could it be, you ask? Scientologists, of course. According to TMZ, they view her as a threat to the organization. So she could take down an entire religious group with thousands of followers worldwide — one that has survived PR train wrecks like Tom Cruise — with one divorce filing? If it can't handle Katie, does it even deserve to be a religion? In the meantime, Holmes, 33, and daughter Suri, 6, have moved their bags from the New York City apartment they shared with Cruise to a new apartment elsewhere in the city. All of this is happening while Cruise films Oblivion in Iceland. Some birthday he'll have (Cruise turns 50 Tuesday). It's a cold, cold world.
Katie thinks Scientologists are on her tail
No bad feelings here
Speaking of divorce, Puddle of Mudd singer Wes Scantlin signed his divorce papers with two smiley faces. Scantlin even agreed to pay $2,500 per month in alimony to end his four-year marriage. His wife's lawyer, Brian Kramer, says smiley faces are a first for him. Tom? Katie? Take a lesson in divorce done right!
She doesn't get around
Poor porn legend Jenna Jameson. Her Maserati Quattroporte S is as good as stolen — at least according to a lawsuit filed by Maserati Financial Services. It says she stopped paying her $2,299-a-month payments in January, and she won't give the car back. Are there no industries unaffected by the Great Recession?
