Yes, that’s right.
To be the wife of the largest closet case in America, you have to be an A or B-lister, and still have to audition.

Katie Holmes was one of several starlets including Jennifer Garner, Scarlett Johansson and Jessica Alba, to be considered to even audition for the role of Tom Cruise’s “wife.”

According to ex-Scientologist Marc Headley - who used to produce promotional films for the “religion” - claims that Holmes was set up for Cruise by none other than Scientology head honcho, David Miscavige, after Cruise and Cruz broke up in 2004.

Headley tells the British tabloid, News of the World, “After that (breakup with Penelope Cruz), he started complaining to his best buddy David about his luck with girls. (I thought gay guys had a good rapport with women?)
So Miscavige assigned a high-ranking official with the order: ‘Find a wife for Tom Cruise.’ The official put out a casting call to female actresses, including Scientologists, saying, ‘There’s an upcoming Tom Cruise movie you might get a part in. Come for an audition.’ But in the end no movie was made. They had to be single, they had to be pretty and in their 20s. First they rounded up Scientologist actresses like Erika Christensen, Erica Howard and Sofia Milos. But they were all rejected.”

Cruise apparently really wanted Jennifer Garner, but she’s not so dumb, and didn’t take the bait.

Headley went on to add, “They went for Jennifer Garner, Scarlett Johansson and Jessica Alba, in that order. They came up with the same plan. Jennifer and Jessica didn’t bite but Scarlett took the bait and came in for an audition.

When she arrived at the audition address and found out it was the Scientology Center in Hollywood she freaked out and didn’t do a tape… So they worked the audition tape on Katie, got her to L.A. and introduced her to Tom. The moment he meets her, he’s enthralled with her and he told Miscavige later, ‘I knew immediately she was the one.’”

I guarantee it’s because her hair matched his.

You, know. For his beard.

Because he’s gay.

No word on how she was turned into a robot after the contract marriage. But as steadily as things have been emerging about Tom Cruise and his personal life with Scientology, I’m betting we’ll hear about it soon enough.
