Creepy Katie

From Salon:

Katie Holmes has given a creepy, creepy interview to W magazine, in which she stares into space and answers pretty much any question put to her with pat phrases like "I've found the man of my dreams," "I've never met anyone like Tom," and "Tom is the most incredible man in the world." "This is how the conversation begins; this is also how it continues, and how it ends. No question can do much to change its course," writes Robert Haskell in W's August issue. At one point during the interview, her new "best friend" and Scientology minder Jessica Rodriguez jumps in to adds, of Holmes' feelings for Cruise, "You adore him" -- and to condemn people who speculate that the whole Holmes/Cruise thing is just a sham, calling them "just rude" and gushing "Have you ever been in love? You just want to share it with the world." At another point, Holmes is brought a gift from Cruise, a Chanel diamond necklace that prompts her to, yes, jump up on the furniture and shout, "He's my man! He's my man!" She then announces that she can "do splits too," and demonstrates, adding, "I love him." (W)


On a related note ... Radar magazine reports that "Ever since [Keri] Russell scored her plum supporting role in 'Mission Impossible III,' we hear, the 'Felicity' alumna has 'suddenly become very interested' in co-star Tom Cruise's much-mocked religion -- and is excited to learn more from the master. She's even been spotted buying books on Scientology and visiting the sect's L.A. Celebrity Center, sources say."
