nickdivers asks: Does anyone actually think Tom Cruise would send Suri, his very cute and very public daughter, to Sea Org? Wouldn't that be a huge PR disaster for both Cruise and COS?
» SFB says: Whether or not the Church actually would (the reports suggest that, even if they did, that was a concern of Holmes), they’re formally denying it, saying you have to be 16 to go to Sea Org. Don’t doubt you though; it’d be bad optics. — Ernie @ SFB
The Daily Mail is reporting that actress Katie Holmes’ recent decision to divorce husband Tom Cruise was due largely to his desire to enroll their daughter Suri in the Church of Scientology’s highly-controversial Sea Org. While celebrity gossip isn’t typically our bag, Holmes echoes complaints previously made by director Paul Haggis and other former members of the church. Most notably, mysterious vehicles — clearly too expensive for the paparazzi — have been spotted outside Holmes’ New York apartment consistently in recent days. The actress says their monitoring is meant as an intimidation tactic. If true, Holmes is certainly not the first person to be harassed by the Church, but could the light shed by her high-profile divorce make her one of the last?

Questionable movie role of the day: Couch-jumping Scientologist dude Tom Cruise as an aging rocker in upcoming movie musical “Rock Of Ages.” We cropped in tight so you could see how stupid he looks with all those tattoos. The only thing this photo needs is a unicorn. (via Tom’s Twitter page)
