(Steffman,Turgeon/Splash News) Along with the Cartier diamond-studded wedding band that she had been wearing as recently as last week, Holmes was also free of some other Cruise baggage: - She returned to her premarriage mouthpiece, Leslie Sloane at BWR, sacking the publicist she had worked with since 2007. - She fired her husband’s security team, which had guarded her as recently as last week, TMZ reported. According to the website, the bodyguard and driver had worked for Cruise for years, even before he met Holmes, and had followed her every move while in New York....

Full View  Cruise boards a helicopter to take him from Reykjavik to his film location in Iceland on July 2. (Uffe Kongsted/FameFlynet) Holmes, 33, pulled the plug on her much-maligned marriage with a surprise filing that seeks sole legal custody of Suri, the couple’s only child. Her paperwork, filed anonymously, cited “irreconcilable differences” and stated that the union broke down more than six months ago — language necessary for Holmes to use New York’s new no-fault divorce law. Cruise, who has been in Iceland filming his new movie “Oblivion,” a $140 million post-apocalyptic science-fiction epic, was said to have been blindsided by his spouse’s flight....

Holmes, whose father is a divorce lawyer, tapped New Jersey-based prenup specialist Jonathan Wolfe along with Michael Mosberg at Sheresky Aronson Mayefsky & Sloan, the Manhattan firm that repped Christie Brinkley’s ex-hubby Peter Cook. The final deciding factor for Holmes was her fear that little Suri would be ripped from her clutches and inducted into the hard-core Scientology priesthood known as Sea Org — despite the church’s denial that she was a candidate, TMZ reported early Tuesday morning. According to reports and sources interviewed by The News, parenting issues and fears about Sea Org weighed heavily on the actress who lived in Cruise’s shadow for much of their time together....

Full View  Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise back in 2009. (Angel Fernandez/AP) Seemingly relishing her newfound independence, Holmes smiled at photographers as she breezed into a taping of Lifetime’s “Project Runway: All Stars” show at Parsons The New School of Design in Manhattan. “She did great,” show judge Isaac Mizrahi told People.com after the six-hour shoot, for which Holmes acted as a guest judge. Holmes was surrounded by a new group of self-selected handlers, a clear sign the beautiful brunette is making a major break from the Cruise-controlled, Scientology-centered world she’s inhabited for the last 51/2 years....

Full View  Mystery men who may be from Church of Scientology sit inside white Cadillac Escalade shadowing Holmes. (Richard Harbus for New York Daily News) He turns 50 on Tuesday. People magazine reported that he had been expecting his wife to come visit him for his birthday. Just three weeks ago, Cruise happily told the magazine he was “blessed” to be able to “live (his) dream and have the family that I have, the wife and children that I have.” Cruise was said to now be planning to file for divorce in California, where Scientology is more accepted and where experts say he’d have a better chance at getting at least partial custody of Suri. The “Mission: Impossible” megastar has hired Los Angeles legal ace Dennis Wasser to handle what is shaping up to be a contentious child custody battle....

Full View  INF Katie Holmes towers over Tom Cruise as they walk hand-in-hand on a date in 2005. “The whole purpose for being a tutor for the kids is not education; it’s to get them on to be full-blown zealots at an early age. The thought process is to turn them into zealots,” he said. He recalled watching Cruise’s adopted son Connor, now 17, when he visited Scientology’s Los Angeles-based Celebrity Center in 2001, around the time of Cruise’s split from Kidman. Connor was 6 years old back then, the same age Suri is now, and Rathbun said he casually introduced the curious tyke to an E-meter — the electronic device that acts like a lie-detector test in Scientology counseling sessions called “auditing.” “I showed him the E-meter, and he was playing around with it....
