Katie Holmes converting to the Church of Scientology.

She's studying up on the religion loved by her boyfriend of not quite two months, Tom Cruise.

Holmes was asked if she was embracing Scientology. "Yes, I am, and I'm really excited about it," she told reporters, adding that she's begun taking classes.

Last week, the actress told Access Hollywood that she was a big fan of the faith.

"I have looked into it myself, and I really like it, and I think it's really wonderful," Holmes said.

Meanwhile, Cruise, 42, told Entertainment Weekly that Holmes, 26, "digs" the religion. Asked if he had become more outspoken about his beliefs recently, the actor replied, "I've always been passionate about it."

I'm thinking I need to learn to write Sci Fi, or start my own religion.

In a Newsweek magazine interview out this week, the Simple Life star says she "doesn't enjoy going out anymore" and wants to ease out of the media glare.

The 24-year-old Paris, who over the weekend joined mother Kathy as grand marshals of West Hollywood's Gay, Lesbian, Bi-Sexual & Transgender Pride Parade, says the party circuit, on which she became a tabloid legend, has become a grind.

After nearly a quarter century, Pink Floyd, including band cofounder and creative force Roger Waters, will reunite to perform at the all-star Live 8 concert in London.

"Hey you! Out there getting old, skin feels like a toad can you hear me?"

The weekend just flew by and I got nothing done for myself.

I met some nice people though and I think yesterday I looked pretty hot with a new bathrobe I got for my B'Day and a cool cowboy/Gaucho hat I was wearing. If I had been wearing pants, who knows what extra added effect that might have had.

I was told by an e-mail that I was mentioned on author Jack Ketchum's website. I have yet to see it, or if it was a good mention, but to have your name in print, even if it's cyber print is always fun.

I only posted the pic because I got nice comments from some cute Gothchicks from yesterday, so even though I'm tired of her... Here she is again.

Brangelina... I hate that term already!

I don't get it? I did everything to give away tickets and NO ONE wanted them to see this flick!


They may or may not be an item, I am beginning to believe they are not, but they sure know how to make sparks at the box office.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith, the onscreen merging of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie as married assassins gunning for each other, made a killing over the weekend, beating all projections with a three-day gross of $51 million.

I watched one of my favorite films of all time, Eraserhead and the bonus stuff was so good that I bought the DVD from Davidlynch.com.

I also watched the bonus disc to Dr. Strangelove... Great!

I picked up the big book, Cinema of George Lucas that I've had but never read... I now wish he would reissue American Graffitti with as many bonus extras as THX:1138 has. There are so many cool things that could be addressed with that DVD.

If there was ever a wave of creativity I wish I had been apart of, it was that American Zoetrope scene. Where's my scene? What's my destiny? Why am I so lonely? What gives?

Emails claiming pop star Michael Jackson, on trial on sex abuse charges, has tried to kill himself are being spread by hackers as a means to break into computers.

One more reason to hate Jackson, even though he had nothing to do with it... Or did he?

The hackers have sent emails with the subject "Re: Suicidal attempt" and the message text: "Last night, while in his Neverland Ranch, Michael Jackson has made a suicidal attempt." Who knows what weird virus you can pick up from Jackson?

Jackson is awaiting a California court verdict on charges of child molestation. In case you having been living these last few months.

The email asks recipients to click on a link that takes them to a Web Site which secretly installs malicious code on their computers.

Code 66!!!

That's when Jedis get whacked, even though they are suppose to know events ahead of time. Maybe the virus spreads kiddie porn onto your computer without your knowledge and then sexstormtroopers come knocking at your door to exterminate you.

Pissed off Norwegian cruise line passengers that risked their lives as they were tragically forced back at sea and subjected to 70 foot waves so the boat could be featured on Donald Trump's television show, "The Apprentice," will hold a press conference with their attorneys.

2,500 passengers from New York City headed to the Bahamas and was forced to return early for a taping of Donald Trump's TV show, "The Apprentice." The passengers' lives were put in jeopardy as they were subjected to a torrential storm with 70 foot tidal waves that flooded many cabins and caused injuries to passengers, just so the boat could be featured on Trump's show.

I feel a tie-in cross promotion with The Poseidon Adventure remake.

Actor Russell Crowe sorry for telephone tantrum... He appears on Letterman, Conan, and TRL... As TV shows are the place to do damage control in the Press. Well, there's no such thing as bad press they say and three major cell phone providers are in a bidding war to get Russell Crowe as their spokesperson. In one scenario a Hotel concierge is slapped with a small lightweight cellphone by Crowe with no results... The signal is strong and the phone unbreakable. Crowe walks out onto
the streets slapping passerbys with the phone with glee and joy.

It's about time George Lucas receives the American Film Institute's life-achievement award, now that he's starting his second career as an avant-garde
filmmaker.

One of Hollywood's highest honors, the award came as Lucas was counting the dough his six-film Star Wars, with the final chapter cruising to a $400 million-plus domestic haul.

AFI actually approached him several times a decade ago or more about the career prize, said Lucas, who turned 61 years old days before last month's debut of "Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith" but he felt he was too young to accept the life-achievement award.

I just found out I have strep throat!

Everything I eat hurts and tastes like metal.

I just know George Lucas and The Force could heal me...

My throat has been hurting a bit lately and with the weather constantly changing, I fear a sickness coming on...

I hear Tom Cruise can cure these things, I wish he were here!

Katie Holmes may claim that her love for Tom Cruise is the real deal, some jaded people continue to insist that the relationship is nothing but Hollywood shenanigans to promote two huge movies.

Example: FreeKatie.net, a Website that proclaims itself dedicated to "the movement to liberate Katie, a young, gifted, actress held captive by forces we may never understand. Even one summer of captivity is too long for one so bright!"

Free The Simpsons from TV!

The Simpsons movie is off the drawing board and in preproduction. I hope to see it before I die.

Wolfgang Petersen's remake of "The Poseidon Adventure" is sailing our way...

Like the 1972 original, the story follows the survivors of the S.S. Poseidon, a cruise ship that is capsized by a tidal wave. The survivors, trapped inside, are forced to work their way to the surface of the upside-down ship through the hull.

Already cast are Kurt Russell and Richard Dreyfuss. Shooting is scheduled to begin June 18.

The boat has yet to be cast.

Here's some surprising news...

Steve Martin's 'Pink Panther' delayed to 2006.

Put on your argyle sweater and prepare to interface ... "Sixteen Candles 2" could soon become a reality.

Called, "43 Candles."

Fresh from her "Breakfast Club" reunion at the recent MTV Movie Awards, Molly Ringwald says she's in discussions to star in a sequel to the 1984 teen classic. Ringwald has been approached numerous times over the years to reprise the role of Samantha Baker, but she only recently read a "Candles" script to her liking.

In this one script I wrote, she finally bangs me all the way through the second and third act. It's a great love story.

Napoleon Dynamite was the big winner at the 2005 MTV Movie Awards.

Eminem's "Ass Like That," performed with scantily clad, big-bosomed female puppets. Guess that fear of Triumph the Angry Comic Dog has passed...

Nine Inch Nails' last-minute pullout ( Trent Reznor pulled the plug after MTV balked at allowing him to use an image of President Bush as the backdrop to his performance) The Foo Fighters filled in for Nine Inch Nails, performing "The Best of You" to close out the show.

Another highlight was a tribute to the classic 1980s teen comedy The Breakfast Club. Yellowcard performed a rendition of Simple Minds' hit from the original, "Don't You (Forget About Me)," as cast members Ally Sheedy, Judd Nelson, Anthony Michael Hall and Molly Ringwald all reunited and made me feel really old.

Actor Russell Crowe was arrested with second-degree assault after throwing a telephone at a hotel employee and hitting him in the face.

The 41-year-old Oscar-winning star got into an argument at the Mercer Street Hotel in the SoHo district of New York City shortly after 4 a.m. and threw the phone at the worker.

Sources close to those they say they might know Russell Crowe told me early this morning that his call to Australia that he so desparately needed to make was due to marriage trouble...

I'm sad about anyone having marriage trouble, but I'm guessing soon Crowe will be doing a Tom Cruise and begin dating a younger actress.

Barbara Marcus, president of Children's Book Publishing at Scholastic, author J.K. Rowling's U.S. publisher said 10.8 million copies of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" had been printed.

That's 850,000 trees to you and me!

Is anyone interested in seeing Mr. and Mrs. Smith? I had tickets to give away last week and no one wanted them... I think the movie looks hot! Action! Sexy! Cool director of the Bourne Identity... What gives? Are people fed up with Angelina and Brad?

That's just plain sad if that's the way it is...

Oh well, time to rent some Steve McQueen Ali MacGraw film.

This weekend, I was a wee bit down in the dumps.

The days off went way too fast, but I guess I shouldn't have slept at all. Time flies when I'm unconscious for 46 hours.

I went to my local Library and picked up some Books on CD just for fun. One was Po Bronson's What Should I do With My Life? The other was Gene Simmon's Kiss and Makeup. It should be a great weekend right?

I guess there was a scratch on the Po Bronson CD and I hadn't even made it 5 minutes into the CD before I nodded off, but was awoken by some demonic voice saying, "What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What? What?" because the disc was skipping!!!

I nearly shit my sheets! I was scared!

Then, since it was 3PM, I thought I should get up and get some sushi at my new fav place, Japanese Kitchen. I ordered a plate called, "The Godzilla."

I've had it before and love it!

However, the Wasabi looked to me rather demonic and oddly enough, somewhat like the head of Godzilla himself!

I had to take the picture! The girl that had scooped it out for me saw it an ran away in fear. The help in the kitchen just tossed the whole plate away instead of washing it.

Demon Haunted Sundays, man...

I guess, Jack White isn't brokenhearted over the recent marriage of ex-girlfriend Renee Zellweger. The White Stripes singer wed model Karen Elson on Wednesday in a canoe in the Amazon River in Brazil.

White and Zellweger met during the filming of the 2003 movie "Cold Mountain" and dated until late 2004. The actress married country music star Kenny Chesney May 9 in a Caribbean island ceremony.

White's marriage comes as the White Stripes release their fifth full-length, "Get Behind Me Satan," looks like he got some great marketing tips from Tom Cruise!!!

I tried to clean my apartment this weekend, but I couldn't stop thinking about the lives of Jack White and Tom Cruise.

Three months after she filed for divorce from actor Charlie Sheen, model turned actress Denise Richards has given birth to their second daughter.

The baby girl, named Lola, was born on Wednesday night at a Los Angeles-area hospital, and Sheen was in the delivery room at the time, and his entourage of hookers and strippers waited out in the lobby.

"Chappelle's Show: Season 2 Uncensored" chalked up first-day sales of nearly 500,000 copies, setting a new TV-DVD sales record, according to Paramount Home Entertainment.

Within a week of its release, sales of the hefty three-disc, $37 package topped 1.2 million units, bitch!

Comedy Central says, "Freak out all you want Dave, Here's tickets to Africa, on us!"

Rambo is coming out and looking for some fresh blood.

After a 17-year layoff, Sylvester Stallone is ready for a fourth installment in the popular 1980s film franchise.

After Miramax heads Harvey and Bob Weinstein exited Disney, they sold the sequel rights for the intrepid character to Nu Image/Millennium Films, and the project is finally moving forward.

In addition to breaking the old red bandanna out of mothballs, Stallone, 58, will write the screenplay. Hammer and Tongs, the two video geniuses that just make, "Hitchhiker's Guide" were working on it.

Stallone, who earned an Oscar nomination for writing the original Rocky and who has directed such flicks as Staying Alive and Rocky V, compared Rambo IV to such 1970's revenge classics as Straw Dogs and Deliverance.

The sequel opens with our brooding Vietnam vet finally settling down with a wife and child, while still working for the military. (Sadly, Richard Crenna, who not only is credited with creating Tartar Sauce, also costarred in the three previous installments as Rambo's longtime commander, Colonel Samuel Trautman, will be MIA from the new sequel, having died in 2003.)

This one was about Rambo fighting a genetically cloned super warrior built on Rambo's DNA.

A subdued Michael Jackson sat silently in court on the eve of closing arguments in his child-molestation trial, well aware that within a matter of days his future will be placed in the hands of a jury.

He has strong faith in God, in the judicial system, and NAMBLA. He knows his fate is in the hands of 12 jurors.

I for one believe he will walk... If he's not sick that day.

Actress Lindsay Lohan and a passenger who wasn't Nicole Richie in her cool Mercedes suffered minor injuries when a photographer crashed his ugly car into hers after pursuing her through the streets of Los Angeles.

The injuries may have been worse now that Lohan's breastsize has been reduced by either surgery, or starvation...

Police arrested Galo Cesar Ramirez who they said followed Lohan, 18, and her 19-year-old passenger and tried to snap an upskirt, or nippleslip photograph of the "Mean Girls" actress. Lohan stars in the upcoming Walt Disney film "Herbie: Fully Loaded."

Ramirez, 24, was booked on a felony charge of assault with a deadly weapon and on an outstanding warrant for misdemeanor marijuana possession.

He was released on $35,000 bail, the photograph he took may bring in over a million dollars... If you can see some boobies!
