Yeah, I saw that - something like "584 days without daddy!"
Yes, and the kid appears to be doing just fine. TMZ is also reporting that Tom and Katie hate each other, which...duh. He was her cult captor and she out Mission:Impossible'd him by secretly plotting her escape without him knowing (despite his Scientology superpowers) and got exactly what she wanted in the divorce (sparing her child from becoming a clam).
Interestingly, TMZ is also reporting that while Katie assumes she's been declared an SP by Scientology, she actually hasn't. I'm not sure why not - according to their practices, she should have been declared one. I guess the rules are different for Tom Cruise. Maybe they are keeping the door open because he hopes to eventually get his hooks into Suri.
Apparently, the director of HBO's "Going Clear" tried to get an interview with her, but had no luck. I assumed that keeping her mouth shut was part of the deal in the divorce - she asked for nothing other than child support and custody of Suri, controlling all the shots where her education/religion is concerned, and in return she keeps her mouth shut about the shenanigans and Tom leaves her and Suri alone.
I follow Katie on Twitter and if that is any indication, she is one of the most boring people alive. But I guess after years of Cruise-based shenanigans, boring probably feels good.

So when Suri turns 18 and can make her own choices, Katie is no longer bound to the agreement? Ohpleaseohpleaseohplease. She has to spill all some day!

A friend (who is highly educated, so juxtaposition time) was telling me all about numerology as his guiding truth, and then he got kind of awkward and said, "it's numerology--I'm just kind of into it. It works for me." So, I felt compelled to confess something, and I told him that I was Team Pillow. He didn't understand, so I explained. It was kind of weird.
Anyway, nothing really relevant to post, other than I still wonder if Katie stumbled into Tom Town, or if this was completely calculated, or a mixture of both.

Well, I'm sure SURI hasn't signed anything, and Katie can tell her all the crazy and then Suri herself can write the book/screenplay!

I think it's a mix- there was the thrill of "Tom Cruise likes me!" and "Wow, this could be good for my career- Nicole Kidman got really famous after they got together." I don't think mixed motives are terrible.

I don't either*, I'm just wondering how it all happened. At what point was the alleged contract rolled out? Was a baby contracted? When did Katie realize she might want to get out? Was she white-knuckling through it. *I'm very familiar with mixed motives.

I've always believed Suri was Tom's biological daughter, and I am even skeptical that there was any "contract" between them. The Going Clear documentary demonstrated that a lot of smart people can be duped. I don't find it so hard to believe that Katie was naively infatuated and didn't see the full implications of her decision until Suri was old enough to be targeted by the Scienos.

I always believed Suri was Tom's daughter too, but now that I have heard about the Tommy Davis rumors...holy cow does she look like him. I also wonder why TC and Nicole never had biological children together. They were together a long time. I agree that Katie was very naïve going into this and the clams didn't put the full court crazy display on until much later, which makes their whole MO that much more scary and manipulative. These aren't crazy people who don't know what they're doing.
