Katie Holmes’ Not So Fun Vacay

According to Star magazine, Tom Cruise really, really, really didn’t want wife Katie Holmes going to New York for three months to perform on Broadway—so he sent her to Scientology’s base in Hemet, California (known as “Gold Base”) for boot camp instead. So not as fun, right? Check out what that entailed:

“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.”

But we’re sure all is well in the Cruise household. And if anyone is going to prove that to the entire friggin’ world with more couch-jumping antics, it’s Cruise, who appears on Oprah today. Our DVRs are SET. Stay tuned! [Star]

I can’t believe that I used to live within an hour drive of Gold Base, and I never visited it.

This leads me to my next project, which is my screen play: Escape From Gold Base. Its about a young doe-eyed starlet who had a nice little life carved out doing a few romantic comedies here and there just hanging out, doing here thing. Next thing she knows, she marries a creepy, sawed off runt, and then gets wrapped into a life of intrigue, bizarre alien life forms, brain washing, zombies, killer robots, sacking cities and Naval uniforms. You’re gonna want to line up now for its summer 2010 premiere.

I see where Scientology is running a paid infomercial on the homepage of YouTube. I wonder why it doesn’t say anything about these kewl cult-torture sessions?

Going on the purif is like going to a sweat lodge for 30 days. I would last about two seconds.
