In no surprise to me, actress Katie Holmes finally ends her five-year marriage to actor Tom Cruise by filing for divorce this past June. Though they “amicably settled” their divorce just two weeks later after filing, the Church of Scientology and the “Cruise media machine” seem to be hard at work stifling the details and putting their own spin on the end of a marriage that many thought was a bit bizarre anyway. Well.....maybe just me. Hey, for the record, I like Tom and love his movies.

Meanwhile, in another Jackson mat- ter, Janet Jackson is reportedly “furious” that her niece, Paris, daughter of her late brother Michael Jackson, has landed a role in the upcoming film, “Lundon’s Bridge and the Three Keys.” Janet feels it goes against Michael’s wishes to keep his kids out of the limelight until age 18.
