Katie Holmes auditioned to be Tom Cruise's wife
Ex-scientologist Marc Headly is saying that Tom Cruise held auditions to find his next wife.
Headly, who previously produced promotional videos for the Scientology organization, spoke with Britain’s News of the World about Tom. After Tom's split with Penelope Cruz in 2004, he apparently was having trouble trying to find the next woman to fill his void. The Scientology group got together to help Cruise out.
They figured that the best way to get some girls was to have a mock casting call for an "upcoming" Cruise movie. There were a few guidelines though, you had to be pretty, single and in your twenties. Tom’s picks: Jennifer Garner, Scarlett Johansson and Jessica Alba, in that order.
Jennifer and Jessica didn't take the bait, and never showed up at the casting call. But Scarlett did, but the moment that she heard that the meeting was at a Scientology Center, she refused to go.
Being that Katie's career was slowly drifting downwards after her breakup with Chris Kline, she jumped at the chance to meet her teenage crush. After there first meeting Cruise told Marc, “I knew immediately she was the one.”
Ah, saving the best for last. I think the whole setup was real cheesy, but apparently clever too because Tom got the girl of his dreams. Which we all know from him jumpin' on Oprah's couch and all.
