Exclusive: Scientology Boot Camp for Katie Holmes

After two failed marriages, Tom Cruise went to a lot of trouble to find the perfect Scientology wife — and he's determined to make sure Katie Holmes maintains that position, even if it means she has to do time in a rigorous church boot camp!

In the new issue of Star, we report exclusively on how Katie was recently secluded for three days at Gold Base, the remote, supersecret Scientology compound in Hemet, Calif., where she was put through a demanding schedule.

"It included various tests, confession sessions, tons of reading and physically challenging purification processes," a Scientology insider reveals. "Tom insists that auditing and purification practices are incredibly beneficial to Scientologists at all levels."

Katie's intensive Scientology training and treatments have been accelerated in recent weeks, says another source, because she wanted to go to New York City without Tom to star in a Broadway play. But Tom stepped in and put the kibosh on her plans. And now Katie's been going in for a series of intensive auditing sessions, some which have lasted for 36 hours straight — with little sleep or food.

The controversial religion's practices have been shrouded in mystery for years. But with the defection of Cane actor Jason Beghe, more information about the church — which counts John Travolta, Kirstie Alley and Leah Remini among its members — has become public. Read all about these new findings — from the grueling auditing sessions to "personal spiritual counseling," where members are hooked up to a lie-detector-like device called an E-meter and bombarded with the most personal of questions — in the new issue of Star, which is on newsstands today.

Katie will blow... eventually. "Blow" - in Scientology jibber-jargon means: to run away, without official sanction and permission and without intensive, gruelling coercive questioning and harassment, as in "blow-off". Run Katie, RUN!!! -- Anonymoose Katie should dump Tom -- Emily I think kate might be the woman tom needs to stop all his bullshit -- Anonymous Being a movie star means that you put yourself in the public eye and you can bet tom makes money off their dirty landry so those of you who say its nobodys buisness, if thats true what are you doing on this site -- katie Tom is a control freak. Katie needs to take Suri and get the h*** out of there. -- rebecca ITS NOBODY'S BUSINESS! SOO KEEP UR OPINIONS TO URSELF! THANKS...*Anonymous -- TAYLOR I believe it's nobody's buisness! so but out! -- Not a loser Hiedi Parker, This is in regard to Tom Cruise's being on the fast track to has-been. I know middle age is a rough time for everybody especially movie stars. I would like to address my comments to to the part about his up-coming movie Vakyrie. You apparently don't know much about WWII. Hitler becme psycotic and Germany was losing so some of the top-ranking officers decided it was time for him to go. He had really gone over the edge. The Final Solution was not only about the Jews, but homosexuals, priests, nuns underground resistance fighters. There are some good books that have come out in the last couple of years, The children of the Flame, The Hiding Place. There are others about the Holocust. I suggest you to some homework about History. You apparently don't know enough about WWII to draw conclusions about Historical facts. I was born just after WWII. My uncles were in the War. They were great Warriors.(I am Native American). My father was also in WWII,he suffered from survivors' guilt. I know I will make a point of going to see Tom's up-coming movie. Thank you. -- Margaret K Demanett Wow...sent to the RPF? For those of you that don't know, the RPF, or Rehabilitation Project Force, is a strict work camp forced on to scientology members. They are forced to work insane hours, with small amounts of food and sleep. They are physically and mentally demeaned and their spirits are systematically destroyed. This is why I fight. youfoundthecard.com xenu.net whyweprotest.net -- Anonymous Only high powered celebrities can leave Scientology as their vast amounts of money can buy security, lawyers, etc. She deserves everything she is getting for being such a stupid bimbo and not doing her research. Who the hell would knowingly marry the alien that is Tom Cruise? -- Anonymous Go to comments page: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46
