Where in the Name of L. Ron is Katie Holmes?

Scientolomom Katie Holmes appeared on "Live with Regis and Kelly" this morning, but as anyone who's seen the show will tell you, she looked like anything but Katie Holmes. Oh, Dawson!


Sources who worked with Katie for years tell TMZ that bubble-bobbed Katie is "barely recognizable" as the same person who married Suri's father in 2006, and that she "has completely changed." Indeed, if her spot on "Regis" today is any indication, it looks like she has morphed into some type of Scientolobotomized version of herself. She's "clear" all right -- of her former self! Hopefully, she's getting a lot of mad money!

TMZ also spotted Katie and her first husband at the Carlyle Hotel yesterday with their little princess, expressionless and unnerved by the surrounding pap crush.

46. Emmaline, the difference is that Kelly Preston and Kirstie Alley were soulless to begin with. When you're a fake, you learn to imitate what you see around you, to present a convincing impression of humanity.

Katie was a simple, sweet Catholic girl, who DID have a soul, and whose soul is now rebelling against the fact that she's trapped in a very bad situation. Shutting down is her only means of resistance. Spiritually, what she's doing is sticking her fingers in her ears and going "La la la la, this isn't happening."

Unfortunately for her, it is, and by the time it's over she'll probably be so defeated she'll never regain her old self.

47. Leave her alone!! Jesus........Have any of you looked at a picture of what you wore two years ago? It's much different right? Style changes constantly! Duh. And, there is certainly NO problem with wanting to dress conservatively once you bring a child into the world. Maybe she is a good example of what a wholesome mother should be. Hey, she's not out partying and getting drunk. So their beliefs are different from ours. How is criticizing them for their beliefs any different from hating blacks or mexicans? You tell me that you closed minded children!!

48. Tom Cruise is so over! He is nothing more then a hench-man for Scientology, which is a cult. Poor Katie, use to be normal. Now she is his puppet, and doesnt even know it. Lets see how he would feel about her if she decided to shove Scientology up his ass. Do any of you think he would love her unconditionally? I think not! Girl- get his money and run before your life is destroyed, and all of you is sucked dry.

49. No 12 - you say she sold her career. not so..............when they break up, everyone will feel sorry for her and she will be the number 1 star for a while. Look at Nicole Kidman. She wasn't known too well before the breakup and she is no great actress but when the breakup happened, sympathy came with it and many movies - all of which were terrible except one. That's what she will get out of this marriage but of course she won't have Suri. Has anyone noticed that Tom looks like a little Hitler lately? What a creep!

50. She did seem very reserved on regis this morning. i'm sure she was told what to do and what to say by tom. she seemed a little nervous. it mus suck being under a microscope all the time. he loves it, he's a hasbeen, she still has somewhat of a career left. the baby is adorable!!! looks like her not him!!! i think he likes the fact that she looks 40, because it makes him seem less of a pedophile.

51. She looks AMAZING, Tom looks amazing and Nocole is an amazing mother, they're all amazing. I don't believe Nocole and Kieths relationship is real either.

52. Cults are bad, m'kay?

53. For a minute there I thought she was doing the 'live long and prosper' Spock hand sign, lol. She's at that age when the face loses its baby fat and gets angular anyway, so that contributes to her change in visage apart from the rumored nose sculpting.
Hey, you know, if Katie has a problem, she'll come out and say so, or fix it. She's never been an intellectual shrinking violet. Never. She appears to think long and deeply about things, and her Dad is a lawyer, so she knows her way around. You're all kvetching into a vacuum.

54. Oh for Pete's sake..Katie has just grown up -- she's now a wife and mother. Physically, the Katie I see here looks similar to the Katie I saw in "Pieces of April." She is completely recognizable. Where is this oh-my-god dramatic change??? This article is ridiculous, and only fuels the flames of some pretty nasty gossip. Enuff already.

55. Katie's hairstyle is an exact replica of silent screen movie star Louise Brooks from the 20s. That is not Jackie Onassis. Brooks is the inspiration who made that haircut famous in Pandora's Box.

56. I guess it's like selling your soul to the devil.

Why do scientologists have their children call them by their given names?

Also, where can you go to look up the scientology belief site - you know, where their rules are laid out for us dummies to read. I don't want these hoo-hoos contacting me, I just want to read about some of their koo-koo-koo beliefs.

57. IF PEOPLE DON'T THINK SHE CHANGED, WATCH HER IN THAT MOVIE, THAT IS THE OLD KATIE, SHE WAS VERY ROBOTIC ON GOOD MORNING AMERICA AND REGIS, SHE IS ONLY 29 NOT 50 PEOPLE. SHE MADE A MAJOR CHANGE, TOM TOOK AWAY HER YOUTHFULNESS, SO SAD TO SEE, SHE LOOKED LIKE WHAT SHE WAS SAYING AND DOING WAS CONTROLLED.

I'M SORRY KAITE, BUT TRUE, I DON'T WANT TO BE MARRIED TO SOMEONE LIKE THAT, WEIRD AND STRANGE.

I THINK THE BOOK ABOUT TOM COMES OUT TUES, CAN'T WAIT TO READ IT.

58. Finally she got her teeth fixed.
Makes her look much better, but lets not forget shes a girl from Ohio from a teen tv show.
I don't understand why the public gives these people any notice at all. Get over it and get on with your own lives.

59. I have never been that impressed with Tom Cruise, I liked several of his movies, but never understood why he was so loved by women. Katy was not anything special, and was rarely wrote about in the tabloids. But as soon as she hooked up with Tom Cruise, you would have thought she became royalty, suddenly she started acting like she was Jackie O or Princess Diana. Overnight she transformed herself into someone much more sophisticated than she really is. She has changed her wardrobe, she doesn't leave her house without her appearance being well thought out by a group of people hubby Tom hired, to help her look and dress the part of playing Mrs Tom Cruise. When you look at much bigger actresses, like Reese Whiterspoon, Jennifer Garner, Julia Roberts, you don't see them walking out in public always dressed up, most of the time you see them wearing jeans, fame hasn't gone to their heads. Katie Holmes playing dress up is only making herself look stupid. She thinks shes somebody now, she is smarter, more sophisticated, cultured, etc. and her and Tom thinks she must always dress like she is. Neither one of them have nothing more than a high school education. She is embarrassing herself by acting like she is Princess Diana. Nobody but the Paps care, the general public moved on from Tom Cruise years ago. Her and Tom are legends in their own minds, someone needs to tell them the rest of us think otherwise.

60. in a "whose the most boring person" contest between Katie Holmes and Lauren Conrad it's a pretty close race. They're obviously more put together than Lindsay/Paris/Britney but I could chug a Red Bull and still fall asleep watching either one of them.
