It’s always difficult to learn any details about the state of the TomKat sham marriage; Katie’s abductor maintains a security lockdown that makes the Manhattan Project look kind of casual and slipshod. But there are growing signs that Katie may be getting tired of spending her nights chained to Tom’s radiator.
First were the reports that Katie wanted to relocate to the Shreveport, Louisiana set of her upcoming film Mad Money for the duration of the project, followed by the news that Tom would be there too, keeping an eye on his bride on a daily basis.
Next we got this peculiar item from Ted Casablanca (scroll down from all the magazine covers) suggesting that Tom now regards Katie as “she who must not be named”‘a category he previously reserved for Nicole Kidman.
And finally, there’s the current cover of the always reliable National Enquirer:
Without wishing Katie any ill, I suspect a separation and/or divorce will be a long, ugly process, aggravated by Tom’s escalating control-freak craziness. It will be a difficult time for her, but it will provide lots of fodder for the gossip blogs. Just to add to the fun, in a few months we should have plenty of pics of Tom Cruise in a Nazi uniform to illustrate the posts. And Katie could take some hollow comfort from the knowledge that any attempt to keep her in a marriage that sounds like something out of Saudi Arabia would probably be the final nail of bad publicity in the coffin of his career.
