Pre-Pregnancy Scientology Diet Saps Katie

Actress on detox diet to help conceive second baby

Share

(Newser) – Why did Katie Holmes really skip the Oscars? It wasn’t for work, the Mail reports, but because of a detox diet that left her drained. The diet, which consists of herbal drinks, is recommended by Scientology to aid conception—and Holmes and husband Tom Cruise are ready for a second child. “Katie has almost rid her body of toxins but sometimes it makes her lethargic,” a source said.

Lol, "rid her body of toxins but sometimes it makes her lethargic". Probably because those "toxins" are essential nutrients she needs to NOT beb lethargic. What a stupid religion, and that's saying something. Reply

Acting is one gift-intelligence is another-and some have one and some have both-and she is married to someone that has been a good actor but...well you know-not the sharpest tool in the shed..and she stgays with him and in some ways seems co-dependent Reply

She wasn't at the Oscars because she wasn't nominated for anything nor invited...be my guess. Reply

I bet her mother and father are sorry for the day their daughter ever got involved in Scientology. They are probably praying that Suri does not ever need real medical care. Reply
