anyone checked out the DM comments yet? theres some great snarky ones! (i cannot cut and paste from ipod sorry!)

Let me do the honours for you RTM because the comments are the best part of the article.  smiley: roll  WARNING!  This may end up being a long post because there are so many gems to choose from.

Why is she failing to charm Americans? Maybe because she's married to an idiot Scientologist cult leader?

First of all she's married to an idiot who thinks he's smarter and better than everyone else in the world. Second, she parades her little brat around like royalty and destroying the poor child's chance for a normal life. Third, she exhibits a level of conspectious consumption that rival Fergie and other members of the royal family. Katie married the wrong person and has alienated herself by marrying an alien of the higher order. She and her husband....big yawn.

Maybe she isn't well received because she isn't a very good actor and she reminds everyone of a stroke victim the way she talks out of the side of her face. It's annoying and distracting.  smiley: roll

She is NOT a good actress and a bit of an air head. Did any one see the interview on Ellen ? Besides, a good mother ??? Who lets their 4 year old (now 5) wear high heels and still suck on a passy ? She is only known for being married to that fruit loop Tom Cruise.

You're right, she's not resonating with the American people. You want to know why? Two words: Tom Cruise. We think he's creepy with his Scientology cult and she's in it with him lock, stock and two smoking barrels. It's the worst decision she ever made. Period.

Maybe she just makes bad movies or maybe it is the cult her husband leads (one of the top 5)?

There are a number of reasons why Americans aren't fans of Katie Holmes. First of all she went from being a cute, young, up-and-coming actress to suddenly being pregnant with Tom Cruise's baby and joining the Scientology cult. It seemed to everyone like she was brain washed. Also every magazine portrays her daughter as an out-of-control spoiled brat. Which, yes, makes Katie Holmes look bad. And lastly, she's just not a great actress and is about a dull as a rock. Honestly, no one really cares what she's up too and Suri' antics don't even interest people anymore. The Cruise family has been written off as just another wacky, famous family. She tries to be classy, but truth is, she'll never be a Reese Witherspoon. And Katie and Tom will never be the hot couple that Nicole and Tom were. And Tom Cruise will never be legendary like Robert Redford.

Katie is sort of like and empty shell - just like Tom - there nothing there - no spirit - no passion - I had occassion to see Jacquie many times in person and she had that certain something - that Katie lacks - you can call it whatever you like - some people have it - many don't - and neither Katie or her husband do.

Why? a) she's not that interesting b) she married a loony scientologist c) the Kennedy mini-series focuses on JFK's philandering instead of his achievements, so only attracts a certain type of audience d) she's not that interesting

Let's face it. Any woman who marries Tom Cruise turns into a zombie. Get out, Katie, while you can!!

Her husbands a freak, thats why.

because shes ANNOYING and has turned into a zombie after she married that creep

Bottom line she is an OK TV actress that's all. She has no depth when she acts.She is no Meryl Streep. Also, she has zero in common with Jackie O. Jackie O was in a class unto herself. She should accept herself and deal with it.Life doesn't always give you want you want.

Q: "Why is Katie Holmes STILL failing to charm America?" A: She has mediocre talent.

She comes across as a Scientology/Weird Tom Cruise Stepford Wife. That is why she doesn't appeal to me.

She's failing to charm us because of the psycho she's married to. At first we felt sorry for her. At first we tried to tell ourselves he was being controlling of everything she did. It's like Tom's just robbed her of her cute infectious energy. I really liked her as an actress, I liked her in Batman Begins. I would've liked Dark Knight a lot more had she been in it.

I'll tell you why, she brings NOTHING to the table. Actress? Hardly. Her private life is strange to say the least and her public life shows a young woman who let's her child rule the home. Don't even get me started as to how she chooses to present herself to the World with her fashion "style". If she hadn't hooked up with Cyborg Tom she'd have disappeared long ago. If she hadn't had the small screen success in a small tv show once, she'd have been living in a trailer park in Ohio and probably had been brought to court over her child endangering habits. Coffee and heels? Small child nearly nude in a snow storm or two? Yep, Hollywood class all the way.

She seems like a nice enough person, but I can't think of her without thinking of Tom Cruise, and my reflected dislike of him then gets all over her. Plus, like someone else said...no charisma.

Quoting "critic" Roger Friedman is like quoting Goering. The weaselly Friedman once hinted to the Cruise family that he'd just looove a dinner invite. As Friedman has made it a 20-year quest to criticize every Scientologist-actor or musician who ever hit the stage, no surprise that the Cruise family smiled politely, but did not extend invitation. Since then, Roger Friedman's ire has gotten even more snide and frequent. Then he got booted from his cushy job for video piracy! (Talk about dumb if you work in the entertainment world! Now he pontificates from a hard-to-find Web site, where he is neither funny, entertaining, nor even perceptive about movies.
