Katie Holmes ran the New York Marathon and finished in 5:29:58 according to People. I love her running gear! Are those Lululemon pants?

Lilianne, you are absolutely right, we should be ashamed of ourselves, and I am. I just can’t help it. It’s like watching a traveling circus freak show. I think the public is so intense about this couple because everybody knows it’s an extremely strange union (much like Lisa Marie Presley and Michael Jackson). I promise I’ll try not to be crude anymore.
New York, I didn’t post that looking for anyone to make me any promises about their future behavior. I myself haven’t posted anything here in a while mainly because I get tired of trying to be the voice of reason. I agree that some of the behavior of this couple is a little wacky but I don’t understand why people have to be so vicious here and then by so gleeful about it. That kind of behavior goes against everything I believe in.
I apologize to anyone who I have offended with various comments. It’s no excuse, but something about this couple brings out the worse in me!! Again, my apologies.
speaking of LIIIIIIIIARS

lillianne:
Thanks for having the courage to say what you did. I wish I had. I chose the weaker position–to ignore it. Hopefully, I did not say anything offensive. If I did, thanks for yanking me by the hair and making me take more notice of what I will say in the future.
This man just needs to put on the breaks and STOP lying to himself and the publice because he puts his foot in mouth everytime he says something and looks freaking stupid!!!
He went off script!! We had a President (Reagan) once who made stupid remarks when he did not have his script in front of him. He even read the wrong talk one time and that puzzled everyone when he talked about one topic when asked to talk about something completely different. Oh yeah, he was an actor too!!!
My favorite Cruise stupid remark: I love all my children equally. Suri is travelling with us as a family so she gain perspective.
My only response: Aren’t the other two old enough to appreciate the perspective rather than Suri who will remember nothing? How do you travel as “FAMILY” minus two other members?
When KH had the interview for Mad Money, I was seriously thinking of strangling her with the way she kept bobbing her head all the time and she kept saying how everything was “So exciting” or whatever the response was to whatever question was asked. I guess she wasn’t given a script for the interview.
I find it interesting that Katie has basically had a muzzle put on her……..his people should be more concerned about the crazy rambling of the liar midget

tc on jj abrams
A story this size isn’t enough for this man. It’s hard to convey with brevity the extraordinary experience of knowing and working with J.J. Abrams. First of all, is there anything in a name—J.J.? Look at the Jays we have now—Jay Leno, J. Lo, Jay-Z—but he’s got two Js. He was born to impinge and invade pop culture. Any person who has been exposed to his TV creations Alias or Lost has felt the rapture of his storytelling. He is a story dealer. He delivers what could be called the Lay’s of yarns: you can’t watch just one. I watched all of Alias’ first season in two days, pushing all aside to the near destruction of my personal and business life. I had to tear myself away. They harken back to the classic cliffhangers of early cinema serials, with the bravado of my favorite pulp-fiction novels—the adventure, the characters, all of it. I just couldn’t get enough. And in spite of the trepidations of many and sundry movie executives, I knew it was a no-brainer to hire him to direct the third Mission: Impossible. I couldn’t wait to work with the Double J. From the very beginning, there was an insouciance that promised anything was possible. He’s a creative juggernaut and someone who recognizes the joy of creating. We had great fun laying waste to the specious barriers and the each-person-does-his-own-job structure of filmmaking. J.J., who is just 39, even did three Industrial Light & Magic special-effects shots in the movie personally. He is an actor, writer, director, closet cartoonist, a composer, puppeteer, puzzlemaker, humorist, modelmaker, loving husband to his beautiful wife (can you believe this coincidence?) Katie and father of three glorious children. Gotta give it up for that J2.
Libra: What the heck is he babbling about?????? Anyway, is Cruise trying to find his way back into Paramount by schmoozing J.J. Abrahms to get into the new Star Trek movie? When was this said? I thought Cruise only had one kid, Suri. Must be planning two more, I hope KH can stand what 2 more pregnancies will do to her figure.
I think they muzzled her because either a) she really is brainless and can’t put two intelligible sentences together or b) She would come out looking like the child exploiter/opportunist that she really is. Either way, they need to keep her muzzled.
Cruise, on the other hand, he can sound some what intelligible if you program him correctly. (He fooled people for how long…oh, until he dumped Nicole.) He must need to be reprpogrammed because the program is failing. Either that or he actually believes he is smart and doesn’t need to be programmed. Must be the side effects of Level 6 Scientology…you are a narcissitic idiot. (Don’t they eliminate anyone who tells them they are wrong rather than look at themselves honestly because there might be some truth to what is said.)
Unfortunately, Libra, People nowadays don’t stop think critically about what someone tells them. I mean, how many people listened to Cruise about psychiatry and believed it for fact?
Me, I am still skeptical about the Suri conspiracy/preference thing. That these two are two idiots who found their stupidity and vanity in common sounds much more plausible. No, they are not in love with each other, just in love with using each other and, unfortunately, their kid.
this was an interview after or during MI3…..no one actually knew what he was babbling about except that it had something to do with J.J.A.
Doesn’t speak very highly of being at one of the highest levels in that wacky cult of his!!!!
Wow. It looks like Suri now has a sippy and snacks in a container. But they still carry her around all the time. Strange!
Libra- in response to your LIAR link. Is he an ass or what! What did he do with the expensive watch KH gave him for a present- I don’t have the link but it showed a pic of the one she picked out- it was for his “wedding” pres I think and it said it cost over $26,000!! AND “no jewelry” WHAT??- what does he consider his “wedding” ring???? IDIOT
hey toledo, YES he is an ass. several people (including yours truley) posted links to pictures of him with a cell phone and several wearing a watch, including the other day when he was TRL (I didn’t see it, I’m too old for that crap)
I’m sure everyone remembers that completely fake, staged interview with Diane Sawyer where he showed the world how katie was messaging him “no baby action yet” on his blackberry……..so yea….he’s full of it or the article is a bunch of BS. Even if it is BS, it’s intersting how the media are constantly crucifying him. I just think he’s so arrogant, and has been for so long, that a lot of people in the industry can’t stand him…..he did this all to himself
Well, KH better get herself knocked up soon because the tabloids are going after her as well. Everything from the new tell-all book to the fact that she was paid $600 million to have Suri. It may make Cruise look really bad, but she will too since she is part of the package and was paid quite well in the deal. (I think well paid p r o s t i t u t e would work in this case. Will anyone take her seriously after all this crap comes out?)
I hope that she doesn’t pull the fraud crap and boo-hoo about how she was lied to. I believe she knew exactly what she was getting with this package. The only one I feel sorry for is Suri who is being used by both of them.
okay, my stupid comment is awaiting moderation….I guess leora is banning links…..BORING!!!!!
SO, everyone go to IHATETOMCRUISE and see what I posted, it’s hilarious.
I’ve run several marathons. A marathon is very hard on your body and most people don’t train above 18 – 20 miles for it. The rest is run on willpower. So if she’s in decent shape to begin with (which she looks like she is), it’s a piece of cake to ramp up to the full distance in three months.
As for wearing a bra, her purple tank top clearly has a built-in bra. She’s a small woman, even after giving birth to a child, so this would be sufficient support.
yes, she ran slowly. a 13 minute mile is very slow. a few seconds for a kiss is no excuse. But the second half of the marathon for an inexperienced runner is plenty. I remember seeing the clock at mile marker 20 and thinking “If I can do X-minute miles, I’ll break X:XX!” But at mile 20, surpassing warm-up pace is difficult.
At the end of my second marathon, I was calling for my mommy. I was very glad she was there. I had salt caked all over my body and I was sunburnt and blistered and crying. I won’t even mention the lack of port-a-pot and water/food accommodations. Let’s just say I didn’t look coherent, much less cute. But I didn’t have any incentive for looking any other way. Perhaps Katie might have. I have to admire her for that because I don’t think anything could have persuaded me to smile at that point in time.
LOL- I haven’t gone to that site in quite a while- I’ll have to ck it out more often.
I wanted to respond to Lilianne- yep-we do get kind of cruel now and then- I guess what irritates me is what we’ve been discussing- the LYING- no wonder our teen generation struggles-this crap is plastered all over the media and the kids devour it and what kind of example are they (TC & KH and the like) setting. You don’t see Jennifer and Ben acting like this-they are successful WITHOUT being phonies and flaunting themselves all over the press!
On a different note- did anyone see this pic?- GEEZE- is this a GUN he has his hand on?? http://www.celebrity-gossip.net/celebrity_gallery/image_full/31547/
Cripes- KH’s parents must freak out on a daily basis. and yes it’s true that they DO NOT speak of Katie anymore to anyone but family- even good friends know to NOT bring up anything about her in conversation. SAD.
Have a good wknd all!
Libra: Try no to celebrate too loudly!! I wonder what TC will if Mad Money does better than his movie? Wonder if this will cut into KH shopping money.
Also, JJ Abrahms will not cast Cruise in the Star Trek flick–YEAH!!!
From foxnews.com on LIONS FOR THE LAMBS and about the cast opinions of Cruise:

Toledo: TC probably made her parents sign a legal contract to not talk about anything involving Kh or Suri before they could see their grandkid.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
so………Bee Movie has grossed 52 mil in 8 days and LFL has grossed 6 mil in 3 days
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Access Hollywood spoke with Sarah Hunninghake, manager of media relations with the New York Road Runners Club, which promotes the New York City Marathon. Sarah told us that “Katie’s team” approached the New York Road Runners Club months after the deadline for the race, asking to allow Holmes to run in the marathon.
Hunninghake continued to explain that the marathon gives VIP spots to individuals with compelling stories, who are not admitted in the traditional way. The VIP spots provide the runners with “a different level of security,” she added.
“Celebrities and people with name recognition are important to every sport, it adds glitz and glamour,” Richard Finn, director of media relations for the New York Road Runners Club told “Access.” “Does Billy Crystal have trouble getting tickets to the Yankees World Series? No. Do celebrities have trouble getting reservations in hot restaurants? No. In fact, they probably don’t even pay for the meals much of the time.”
PATHETIC!!!!!!!!!
a compelling story???? whats hers that she married a g a y man, is in a contract marriage and that kid is someone elses???
yea compelling
this person is trying to do damage control and is comparing WATCHING a sporting event and EATING to a race which people train for very hard and take very seriously
so so so disgusting
ONCE AGAIN, in an attempt to have some “positive” publicity, tomkat bit the dust…in a big way, and I couldn’t be happier about that because these people are nothing but fakes, cheaters and liars, and they are getting EXACTLY what they deserve
New Yorkers are up in arms that Katie Holmes was allowed to run in last week’s NY Marathon, when 60,000 other hopefuls were denied entry. Race organizers reportedly allowed Katie in through the backdoor as a “VIP” runner. Others must be given a spot through a lottery system, or run for one of the 26 marathon-sanctioned charities (which is what Lance Armstrong did, or *gasp* actually have a competitive running time.
apparently some detective-like tk haters researched it and there were a lot of obvious discrepancies to people who have actually run in these kind of marathons.
she never would have been able to run or even walk 26 miles with no bra without her n i p p l e s being rubbed raw and bleeding (GAG!)
there are no pictures of her except at the finish line
she is wearing headphones. All runners were made aware that this was a no-no (I find it HILARIOUS that she didn’t take them off when she posed for pictures with tc afterwards)
she doesn’t appear to have sweated AT ALL
she appears to be very pale (even a trained athlete is going to have color in their cheeks, even after a couple miles)
the pants she’s wearing are dragging on the ground…after 26 miles they would be frayed…or at the very least dirty
and lastly, there is apparently a chip that the runners are to attach onto their shoelaces, and apparently this chip is to be visible at all times apparently it’s regulation and …of course hers wasn’t showing
someone on JJ also claims that her number never showed up as finishing the race, and that her entry info online had her as katie holmes-30-resident of NY
I would also like to point out that she is CARRYING her large listening device……not AT ALL likely for someone who ran 26 miles
This, like EVERY OTHER thing about this couple=FAKE
so so so pathetic
Very proud of Katie
