**** THE GLORIOUS CORNER Story By: G. H. HARDING **** Katie Holmes MARVEL UNIVERSE --- Wednesday night, Barlcays Center in Brooklyn, was the opening night and VIP-launch party for the stage presentation of Marvel Universe; which featured for the first time ever … members of The Avengers meeting Spider Man and the X-Men. Marvel sold off the rights to X-Men and Spidey years ago, so a movie paring (which sounds like a interesting idea ... I think) is not possible; or, at least until the boatloads of cash stop coming in. At the VIP pre-party, actress Katie Holmes was spotted with cancer kids from the Sunrise Day Camp in Wyandanch, NY. Nastia Liukin Donnie Kehr Also there were Jersey Boys actor Donnie Kehr (working on a top secret-super-duper project); Russian-gymnast Nastia Liukin; actress Irina Pantaev; Miss Teen USA, K. Lee Grah; Miss US, Nia Sanchez; Kehr’s pr-mouthpiece David Salidor; A. J. Calloway from Extra; Simone Boyce from Fox and Lor...

**** ON THE NEWSSTAND **** Katie Holmes Jamie Foxx Katie’s secret fling! The new Us Weekly has all the details about Katie Holmes’ fleeting fling with friend Jamie Foxx . When Katie Holmes arrived alone at the August 24th benefit in New York’s Hamptons, she searched the crowd for a familiar face. An there he was: Jamie Foxx, a pal and former costar of her ex Tom Cruise. “They hooked up,” says a source. “It was two adults having fun, getting a little tipsy, and one thing led to another.” Though the two were discreet, when the news leaked, “Tom was not happy,” says an insider. “He doesn’t care if it was a hookup. To him it was betrayal.” Cruise’s potential fury could be why both Foxx and Holmes are so adamantly refuting the fling. And with so much history to the triangle, Foxx chose to do damage control. “This is a delicate situation for Jamie,” says a source close to Foxx, who has been tight with Cruise since 1996. When Holmes and Cruise got serious in 2005...

**** THE US WEEKLY ROUNDUP **** Good Mom Katie Holmes Tom Cruise This week’s issue of Us Weekly is all about Katie Holmes taking charge of daughter Suri Cruise with a new school, stricter rules, and a chance to make friends. She’s determined to give Suri a normal childhood! Details are also included on what Katie told Suri about Tom and the divorce. Insiders say Holmes, 33, was driven to file for divorce — and demand full custody — from husband Tom Cruise, 50, because she’s on a mission to take control of Suri’s upbringing. For years, the precocious tot had been raised under the discipline-free guide­lines of Scientology. “Tom would let Suri do whatever she wanted,” says a Holmes source. Add an unlimited clothing and toy budget — her dad is worth an esti­mated $250 million, after all — and the world-famous 6-year-old “had become very demanding and bratty,” says the insider. “Katie saw that Suri was growing into a monster.” Now the Toledo, Ohio, native is determin...

  Thomas John The everyday antics of Hollywood are often intriguing and hard to predict, but not for celebrity psychic Thomas John, who on January 1, 2012, during his two hour long, live podcast Voices from Beyond with Thomas John, accurately predicted the divorce of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. During the January podcast, Thomas John stated that there would be “change all around Tom Cruise this year,” predicting that Cruise may “be ending it (marriage) with current wife Katie Holmes.” (http://belindabentley.com/Public/archives/766). Earlier this week, Holmes filed for divorce from the blockbuster actor after their 5 year long marriage. With a looming public divorce and custody battle well underway, Thomas John’s predictions couldn’t be more accurate. “In January on my website I also predicted health issues with Whitney Houston and I also predicted a queen of soul would die. Unfortunately, Etta James, a great soul legend, and Whitney Houston, both passed th...

 **** The cover story of the new issue of Us Weekly is all about Katie Holmes finally breaking free from her “Rosemary’s Baby” marriage to Tom Cruise.    ****  Katie Holmes Tom Cruise Katie Holmes' Hollywood fairy tale with Tom Cruise definitely did not have a happy ending. When the 33-year-old actress filed for divorce from Cruise, 49, last Thursday -- aggressively moving for sole legal custody of daughter Suri, 6 -- it was the culmination of a year-long attempt to break free of a confining, Scientology-influenced marriage to Cruise, sources tell the new Us Weekly, out now. "Every move she made and everything she did was controlled . . . She felt like she was in Rosemary's Baby," says one insider, referring to the classic 1968 horror film, in which an aspiring young actress (Mia Farrow) unwittingly bears a child for her husband's Satanic cult. Indeed, her shocking divorce filing, which has blindsided a "furious" Cruise, wasn...

 Katie Holmes Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are divorcing after five years of marriage, Us Weekly confirmed on Friday. Married for five years, the couple share daughter Suri, 6. "Katie's primary concern remains, as it always has been, her daughter's best interest.

"Katie's primary concern remains, as it always has been, her daughter's best interest." The couple wed in Italy in November 2006. It was the first marriage for The Kennedys actress Holmes and the third for Oscar nominee Cruise, who has two kids with second wife Nicole Kidman.  EDITORS NOTE: Oh please, is any of this a surprise?  Photo By: RD/Dziekan/Retna
