  • Katie Holmes Still Feels Like A Teenager

    Katie Holmes, at 37, still looks like a teenager. Perhaps that’s why she’s not in a huge hurry to date since divorcing Tom Cruise back in 2012.

    When Katie Holmes was recently asked about her love life, she divulged that she is not feeling rushed, saying, “[I don’t] have a five- or 10-year plan.”

    She said, “I feel like I’m still a teenager in a lot of ways. I do a lot of things I did then. I paint. I color. I cook sometimes.”

    She added, “I still feel like a girl. I don’t quite feel like a woman, maybe because I’m the baby of my family. I’ll probably be 90 and feel like, ‘Not a woman yet!’ Ha!”

    And besides, dating isn’t the most important thing in life to Katie Holmes.

    She said, “You’ve got to keep going in every part of your life. Focus on the positive. Stay creative. Go to things that interest you. Do work that’s fulfilling.”

    She added, “Challenge yourself. What’s amazing about the human spirit, there are so many people doing inspiring things. If you focus on that, it makes your life richer.”

    Katie Holmes hasn’t exactly been sitting and waiting for the boys to call, anyway. She has been shooting episodes of Ray Donovan and has been working on producing the film, All We Had. She is also the star of her new film.

    What do you think of Katie Holmes’ lack of love life?

  • Katie Holmes Lives Life of No Regrets

    Katie Holmes was a member of the Church of Scientology when she was married to Tom Cruise. And then there was that marriage to the guy who jumped on Oprah Winfrey’s couch and made an absolute ass out of himself.

    These days, however, Katie Holmes says she has no regrets, and that she’s learned something out of just about every situation she’s ever experienced.

    During a recent interview for Miami’s Ocean Drive, Holmes talks about her life, including her divorce from Tom Cruise and being the mom of nine-year-old Suri Cruise.

    “I don’t regret anything that I’ve done,” the 36-year-old actress says. “I’ve learned from everything, and everything sort of leads you to the next place. I just keep going.”

    “I have a very normal life, and I happen to work in an industry that is abnormal. Daily life, I take a train and cab; it’s just about getting from here to there, and I don’t care how I do it. I have to get there,” she adds.

    “I don’t shy away from risks,” Katie Holmes says. “I’m just interested in a lot of different things. I don’t even think of it as a risk; I think of it as something exciting and new.”

    Not shying away from risks has led Katie Holmes on a path that is about to bridge the gap between actor and director. She is set to both star in and direct an adaptation of author Annie Weatherwax’s novel, All We Had.

    “As I’ve grown up, I think that the harder you work the more successful you are,” she says. “From what I have seen, the people at the top, they’re just constantly working and constantly surrounding themselves with other successful, like-minded creative people.”

    Hard work is a trait Katie Holmes hopes to instill in daughter Suri.

    “[Motherhood] changes you completely in such amazing ways, and I think that you become who you were meant to be,” she adds. “Being a parent also is a source of inspiration to just work really hard. You want to set an example–and, you know, [your kids] are what drives you.”

    Katie Holmes has singlehandedly raised Suri for the past two-plus years. It has been that long since Tom Cruise has seen his daughter.

    Cruise will one day regret that move, as Katie Holmes continues on in a life with no regrets.

  • Katie Holmes Barely Recognizable As She Stars In and Directs ‘All We Had’

    Katie Holmes will make her directorial debut and star in a film based on a book by author Annie Weatherwax. All We Had is about single mom Rita Carmichael and her 13-year-old daughter Ruthie. The adaptation is written by Josh Boone, who directed The Fault in Our Stars.

    Early glimpses at filming in New York City will find fans barely recognizing Katie Holmes. Dressed in a short, skin-tight acid washed denim dress, Katie Holmes as Rita is rough around the edges. Daughter Ruthie, for whom Rita barely manages to provide the bare necessities, is anything but naive, and is played by Lovie Findlay.

    Producer Jane Rosenthal talked about Katie Holmes both directing the film and playing the leading role when word of its production was first announced back in 2014.

    “Katie has such a clear vision for the book’s irreverent, original mother-daughter relationship. Her passion for the material, along with Josh Boone’s ability to tell stories grounded in the comedy and drama of every day, will truly bring these characters to life,” Rosenthal said.

    The synopsis of All We Had (the book) reads as follows.

    For thirteen-year-old Ruthie Carmichael and her mother, Rita, life has never been stable. Though Rita works more than one job, the pair teeters on the edge of poverty.

    In their battered Ford Escort, they head east in search of a better life. When money runs out and their car breaks down, they find themselves stranded in a small town called Fat River where Rita finally lands a steady job waitressing at Tiny’s, the local diner. With enough money to pay their bills, they rent a house and make their own family: tender-hearted Mel, the owner of the diner; the aging owners of the local hardware store whose livelihoods are dwindling; and Peter Pam, the transgender waitress who becomes Ruthie’s closest friend.

    Into this unlikely utopia comes a smooth-talking mortgage broker who entices Rita with a subprime loan. Almost as soon as Rita buys a house their fortunes change. Faced once again with the prospect of homelessness, Rita reverts to survival mode, and the price she pays to keep them out of poverty changes their lives forever.

    Katie Holmes is busy with both acting and directing All We Had in New York–where she conveniently lives with daughter Suri Cruise–her daughter with ex-husband Tom Cruise. This no doubt makes it much easier for Holmes to take on the dual roles.

    No release date has yet been announced for the film. The first photos of Katie Holmes in her latest role have just hit the media, and should fuel some talk about the upcoming film.

  • Katie Holmes Accidentally Flashes Butt Cheeks In Wardrobe Malfunction

    Katie Holmes was on set filming her new directorial debut, All We Had, when her tiny denim dress turned on her.

    In New York, Katie Holmes had several photos taken of her trying to get her trashy getup to cooperate.

    In one shot, Katie Holmes ultimately loses the battle of the hemline, flashing some booty cheek.

    Katie Holmes announced last year that she had optioned Annie Weatherwax’s book of the same title to make her first attempt at directing.

    Katie Holmes stars in the film as the mother in a turbulent mother/daughter duo.

    A poverty-stricken mother and her 13-year-old daughter move to a quirky small town to start life anew in All We Had.

    The Fault in Our Stars director, Josh Boone, wrote the adaptation of the novel. Jane Rosenthal, who was involved in About A Boy, is producing All We Had.

    Thank you @jimmyfallon for such a fun time:):):)

    Rosenthal said early on of Katie Holmes’ aspirations for All We Had, “Katie has such a clear vision for the book’s irreverent, original mother-daughter relationship. Her passion for the material, along with Josh Boone’s ability to tell stories grounded in the comedy and drama of everyday, will truly bring these characters to life.”

    Well, Katie Holmes certainly seems super-committed to her role. I mean, that dress. Wow.

    What do you think of poor Katie Holmes’ wardrobe malfunction? Are you excited to see how she will do as a director?

  • Katie Holmes Talks ‘Dawson’s Creek,’ ‘All We Had’

    Katie Holmes spoke with Elle Canada recently, and shared how she never moved past playing Joey Potter on the hit show Dawson’s Creek.

    “I don’t know if I have moved past it, but I don’t really care,” she says candidly. “I had a ball doing it, and it’s really nice to be a part of something that did affect people.”

    In addition to launching Katie Holmes’ career, Dawson’s Creek launched the careers of some of her co-stars as well. James Van Der Beek, Michelle Williams, and Joshua Jackson all got their big breaks on the WB show.

    “It created a lot of opportunities for all of us,” Holmes said.

    These days Katie Holmes is enjoying a new opportunity–one of directing a film. Her directorial debut, All We Had, is based on a novel by Annie Weatherwax. She will also star in the film, which is said to be a mother-daughter drama.

    “There aren’t as many movies being made, period, so the challenge is to create projects for yourself,” she said during her Elle interview. “Sometimes offers are flying in, and sometimes they’re not.”

    Would Katie Holmes consider a Dawson’s Creek reunion show if the rest of the cast members were game? Michelle Williams would love it–even though her character died.

    “I would very happily do a reunion show, I don’t know what it would be,” Williams said at a Comic-Con press conference for Oz: The Great and Powerful a couple of years back. “My character died in the end, so there are certain limitations for me. It’s either I come back as a ghost or I’m shot through a lot of gauzy, hazy light as my 19-year-old self.”

    CBS News reports that Katie Holmes did in fact express interest in doing a Dawson’s Creek special. How would she ever fit it in between working on All We Had and being a mom to daughter Suri Cruise?

    Do you think fans would be excited if the former Mrs. Tom Cruise were to return to the small screen in a reunion episode of Dawson’s Creek? How would a grown up Joey Potter go over these days?

  • Katie Holmes Stars In New Film And Olay Ad Campaign

    Katie Holmes is incredibly busy right now.

    The Dawson’s Creek alum has been working on her directorial debut of All We Had, a book-to-movie adaptation that looks really promising.

    In addition to that, Katie Holmes will reprise her role as an uncanny Jackie Kennedy in The Kennedys sequel, The Kennedys-After Camelot.

    “The Kennedys was a brilliant execution of storytelling based on the lives of one of the world’s best known families,” Reelz CEO Stan E. Hubbard said in a statement.

    He added, “Katie elegantly portrayed Jackie Kennedy in the first miniseries and now will continue the role as Jackie grows into the Jackie O that the world knows best. Katie is brave, committed and perfect for this role. She is a strong, talented woman who understands how special and respected Jackie Kennedy, and then Jackie Onassis was, as an international icon.”

    Katie Holmes will also be helping as an executive producer for The Kennedys-After Camelot and will direct one of the episodes in the four-hour miniseries.

    But, that’s not all on Katie Holmes’ plate!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkOqcfTFj44

    Holmes will begin a new role as Olay’s Global Brand Ambassador and star in a new ad campaign for the skin care company.

    “We’re thrilled to have Katie Holmes help us inspire women to realize their best beautiful in the new creative,” says Leigh Radford, Vice President Global Skincare and Olay Franchise Leader.

    “Katie – a confident, modern woman – represents Olay and the voice of women worldwide who never settle in skincare.”

    Never settle seems to be the theme for Olay’s campaign with Katie Holmes.

    Olay recently revealed a survery that discovered that a majority of women feel like it’s never okay to settle.

    In the ad campaign, Katie Holmes encourages women around the world to be their best beautiful, whether that is in their lives or their skincare. The campaign will feature Olay’s Regenerist line and other Olay products.

    How does Katie Holmes do it all?

  • Katie Holmes To Make Directing Debut

    Katie Holmes announced in July that she had optioned the book All We Had and was preparing to adapt it into a movie.

    Now, that dream is getting closer to coming true for Holmes.

    There were questions about whether or not she would star in her directorial debut, but we now know that she will star as the mother in the mother/daughter duo that the book is based on.

    The story is one that should prove powerful for Katie Holmes once she molds it for projection on the big screen.

    It is the story of a 13-year-old girl, Ruthie, and her mother, Rita (Katie Holmes), who try to start life over on the edge of poverty in an interesting small town called Fat River.

    Quirky locals provide an amazing and whimsical backdrop, and Katie Holmes should have a lot of fun working them into the movie!

    Josh Boone, who directed The Fault in Our Stars and wrote and directed Stuck in Love, will reportedly write the adaptation of the novel.

    Jane Rosenthal, who produced About A Boy, will produce All We Had, along with Katie Holmes and Berry Welsh.

    Rosenthal said, “Katie has such a clear vision for the book’s irreverent, original mother-daughter relationship. Her passion for the material, along with Josh Boone’s ability to tell stories grounded in the comedy and drama of everyday, will truly bring these characters to life.”

    Katie Holmes is excited to get to work on All We Had and to collaborate with Boone and Rosenthal.

    “I am very excited and honored to be collaborating with Jane and Josh on this project and look so forward to bringing Annie’s [Weatherwax] incredible characters to the screen,” she said.

    Good luck to Katie Holmes on her project!

  • Katie Holmes To Produce Adaptation Of “All We Had”

    Katie Holmes will be adding the title of producer to her resume soon. The former wife of Tom Cruise is continuing to find her own place in the world and we might be the lucky ones who reap the benefit.

    She has reportedly optioned the film rights to the novel All We Had by artist and new author Annie Weatherwax. Katie Holmes has great talent and will make a spectacular producer!

    This isn’t exactly her first time around the behind-the-scenes production block. Katie Holmes was an executive producer on the book-to-movie hit The Romantics in 2010.

    She starred in The Romantics with Anna Paquin and Josh Duhamel. Although The Romantics flopped at the box office, it gave Katie Holmes the experience she will need to produce the movie for All We Had.

    No news yet on whether or not Katie Holmes will also star in the All We Had adaptation.

    All We Had is a novel about 13-year-old Ruthie who, along with her rough mother Rita, gets evicted from her home. The down-and-out pair seek a fresh start in a strange town called Fat River. The quirky locals are said to provide quite the backdrop for the action. This definitely sounds like an adaptation that Katie Holmes could have a lot of fun with!

    All We Had isn’t all that Katie Holmes has going on right now, though. The Dawson’s Creek and Batman Begins star can be seen in The Giver, which comes out next month.

    Katie Holmes is also busy filming The Woman in Gold, which will come out in 2015.

    Hopefully Katie Holmes’ adaptation of All We Had will bring her more success than her acting career. She is a remarkable actress, but Batman Begins and Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark certainly didn’t do her any favors.

    Good luck to Katie Holmes on her new venture!

  • Katie Holmes To Try Hand At Producing

    Katie Holmes To Try Hand At Producing

    Katie Holmes wears many hats, but she is most well known as an actress on screen in TV and movies. She got her start on Dawson’s Creek in 1998, then went on to star in movies like Batman Begins and Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark. She has also had a couple of runs on Broadway.

    Katie Holmes has had a pretty decent career in Hollywood and on the stage, but now she is seeking to try something new. Holmes has optioned film rights to the upcoming novel All We Had by new author Annie Weatherwax.

    She wants to produce a film based on the book. The novel is about single mother Rita, described as gritty, and daughter Ruthie. The pair get evicted from their house and try to begin life anew in a quirky small town called Fat River, which is brimming with interesting locals. Sounds like a great first production project for Katie Holmes!

    Katie Holmes isn’t a total noob, however. She did serve as executive producer on another book-to-movie in 2010 called The Romantics.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxR5yejkSto

    You can see Katie Holmes next month in The Giver, Mania Days later this year, and Woman in Gold in 2015. There is no word yet on whether or not she will star in her production of All We Had.

    If so, Katie Holmes definitely has the skills to pull it off. Could she possibly have another book-to-movie hit likeThe Fault in Our Stars or The Hunger Games on her hands?

    Who knows, but it sure is nice to see Katie Holmes making a name for herself! She has quite the talent and she should expand it to take on more “hats” in the movie industry.

    The novel All We Had will be out on August 5th. Congratulations to Katie Holmes on her new venture!
