Marriage to Tom Cruise and hanging out with the likes of John Travolta has probably given Katie Holmes an intimate familiarity with camp, but now she’s learning to appreciate the term in a whole different context. After Katie started spouting a lot of crazy talk about going to New York to star in a Broadway show, Tom decided to send her to Scientology boot camp at Gold Base, reputedly Scientology’s cross between Camp David and Area 51. (More fun information about Gold Base, including pictures, can be seen here.) From the link, here’s a brief description of the daily schedule at Camp Runamok:
“It included various tests, confession sessions, tons of reading and physically challenging purification processes,” a Scientology insider tells Star magazine. “Tom insists that auditing and purification practices are incredibly beneficial to Scientologists at all levels.” Tom has beefed up Katie’s Scientology training and treatments these past few weeks — because she wanted to go to New York City and star in a Broadway play. But the Top Gun star stepped in and put a halt on her plans. And now, according to reports, Katie, 29, has been subjected to a series of intensive auditing sessions, some which have lasted for 36 hours straight — with little sleep or food.
So—study of the doctrines and practices of Scientology, combined with a hands-on, full-immersion encounter with authentic North Korean culture. Sounds like an experience not to be missed. In the increasingly unlikely event that this marriage survives, Katie will have to accept that a) she will never, ever leave Tom’s side; and b) she will never, ever have an independent career that’s more successful than his. Given Tom’s current career prospects, that really ain’t good news.

This makes me so sad. Katie was so cute and we had such a great future together before Tom Cruise stole her from me. If I had just a little while longer to work my magic, she would have been mine!
But in all seriousness, I hope she gets the hell out of there. Maybe this is a ploy to reassure Tom that she is serious about Scientology so he’ll let her go do her play in NYC. I hope so.
I also hope if she manages to get away from him, he doesn’t manage to snag another promising female actress and grind her into the ground like he’s doing to Katie.
Ain’t love grand?
She couldn’t possibly known what she was getting into. This is one instance where I think we can be happy for the influence her friend, one Victoria Beckham, has had on her. At least she had one friend telling her what a bunch of crap it all was.
Hmmm. Come to think of it, I haven’t seen any pictures of the gals pals lately.
I doubt she’ll ever get out without losing custody of Suri, so that’s probably not a good indication…… however, I think she had plenty of chance to escape before she married Tom, so it’s really hard for me to feel badly for her. After all, she’s no doubt being treated much better than the civilian members at Gold Base.
flynny, i do believe that tom has banned her from seeing victoria….
and maybe she didn’t know everything about scientology before marriage, but all that nutty “silent birth” stuff and whatnot….had to give her some idea.
[...] Katie Holmes soon to star in the Camp Gold Base Follies production of “The Day the Clown Cried… (AgentBedhead) [...]
Trementina Base = Psycho.
According to the CST, the purpose of the base is to provide storage space for an archiving project to preserve L. Ron Hubbard’s writings, films and recordings for future generations. Hubbard’s texts have been engraved on stainless steel tablets and encased in titanium capsules underground. The project began in the late 1980s.
The base includes a number of dwellings and the archives themselves, the latter in a network of underground tunnels. The base also has its own private, concrete airstrip, the San Miguel Ranch Airport (NM53); it is not shown on FAA sectional charts or in navigation databases by the owner’s request.
i want to know if katie is actually happy in this relationship or not, the press makes it seem like shes not, but who knows, maybe she is! i think she is absolutely gorgeous and hear that shes actually quite funny in person! i wonder if they hang out with kimora and djimon, i bet they would all be fun to hang out with together, 2 cute couples, with some odd quirks, but its all good
freak shit katie doesn’t go to this camp, it’s for the sea org member pay 36 cents a day!
she go to the celebrity center, she is pampered and have her slave to do her free massages, fuck her, don’t feel sorry for that btch a bit!
I don’t care what you guys say, it is a shame to see a young woman’s life wasted like that. Lots of people get caught up in the Scientology BS all by themselves without being actively recruited by someone like Tom Cruise to be his robo-wife. The whole thing is completely creepy.
As for her being “happy” — the only time I’ve seen her looking happy lately was running the marathon… maybe she was practicing for her escape.
