Katie and Tom call it quits...




From watching her childhood crush jumping on couches declaring his love for her to now fighting for custody of her 6 year old daughter Suri, Katie Holmes has ended her marriage with Husband of 5 years Tom Cruise. What a fall from grace. And even though Tom irritates me, I can't help but feel saddened by this news. The number one reason being that my favourite Katie Holmes pretty much married him in order to boost her career, when in actual fact she really hasn't done too much but a Broadway show here and there.

I know most of you are probably rolling your eyes and whispering something along the lines of "Oh wow, another celebrity couples files for divorce.." But the thing is I'm genuinely upset, I LOVE Katie Holmes. I know she is a bit boring and doesn't really say much these days, but she was one my first girl-crushes as a kid. She has that wholesome girl next door look. And despite the fact that she's no longer that innocent little girl from Dawson's Creek, I can't help but forever see her as Joey Potter. And even though there has been years of speculation regarding her relationship with Tom, I honestly do feel that she was suppressed. And not so much by Tom, but by his ego and entourage.

Although this is only the beginning of what will unfold into an even larger media frenzy, Tom's lawyer, Bert Fields, said Katie filed for divorce in New York on Thursday citing "irreconcilable differences".

"Kate has filed for divorce and Tom is deeply saddened and is concentrating on his three children," Tom's representative, Amanda Lundberg, told The Associated Press. "Please allow them their privacy to work this out."

I'm looking forward to seeing all of the stories that will be spruced up, lord knows I'm a mag-hag so I will follow this story intently. 

PS I feel sorry for my favouite little munchkin, Suri Cruise. Divorce is never easy, even though she has pretty shoes, this kid is going to cop it. I hope to God, Katie ensures she doesn't see any of the negative press that will soon unravel.


Did you see this coming? Are you as upset as I am? Let me know. Go on, you know you want to comment.

Latest Obsession: Serena Van Der Woodsen




I have a confession to make...  You see, I typically identify myself with the brunette character in any film or television series. Yes, I have discriminated an actress simply because of the colour of her hair. And believe me I'm not proud of it. For example, when The OC came out I loved Summer. I was very much apart of that generation of girls who went crazy over Seth Cohen and cried their eyes out when Marissa died, but the thing is I looked up to Summer Roberts (played by Rachel Bilson.) Once I had gotten over the commotion of losing such an awesome show, and the legend that is Josh Swartz decided to introduce his OC adoring fans to Gossip Girl, I automatically identified myself with Blair Waldorf. 

Weird right? I know exactly what you’re thinking:

A) She resides in Upper Class New York, whilst I live in Western Sydney.

B) She is always dressed to perfection, whilst I’m more of a casual kid

C) Her Body is amazing; whilst mine is more on the average side of town.

D) She gets to hook up with the likes of Chuck Bass, Nate Archibald and my personal favourite, Mr. Lonely-boy aka Dan Humphrey. Need I even clarify why this one is so unrealistic?


       Furthermore, I have a slightly ethnic/ Westie accent, whereas Ms. Waldorf speaks with such a proper accent. But all of these observations aside, I still believe that if I had to pick one of the cast members it would be her. Or at least Vanessa, but she loses Dan, so it pains me to even think of such a thing.
      
       However, it’s no secret to anyone that I admire Blake Lively’s style, grace and sense of humour. But more recently, I’ve found myself abandoning the “I Love Blair” bandwagon and leaping onto the “I have a Big Lesbian Crush on Blake Lively” one. And it's not just because she's so pretty, but I think the fact that her character is actually employed these days, I feel as though she's a little more real than the other characters. Plus, she's no longer a teenage hoe, but a working woman who is facing realistic problems. 


       So tell me, do you commonly identify yourself with a particular character based on their physical   attributes? Or am I just a vane weirdo?



      And even though Red heads are so hot right now, do you think we’re witnessing the return of the Blonde Bombshell? What with Blake, Delta and dare I say it even Lara Bingle gracing our screens... it really makes me wonder. Wait, scrap that! Come to think of it, did the blonde bombshells ever lose their importance in TV?

      PS This post may or may not have been inspired by the fact that I have been locked up in my room during the whole long weekend due to a horrid flu which just won’t leave me! Therefore giving me the opportunity to catch up on Season Five <3
