Because Scientology Is Not All Fun and Games

Marriage to Tom Cruise and hanging out with the likes of John Travolta has probably given Katie Holmes an intimate familiarity with camp, but now she’s learning to appreciate the term in a whole different context. After Katie started spouting a lot of crazy talk about going to New York to star in a Broadway show, Tom decided to send her to Scientology boot camp at Gold Base, reputedly Scientology’s cross between Camp David and Area 51. (More fun information about Gold Base, including pictures, can be seen here.) From the link, here’s a brief description of the daily schedule at Camp Runamok:
“It included various tests, confession sessions, tons of reading and physically challenging purification processes,” a Scientology insider tells Star magazine. “Tom insists that auditing and purification practices are incredibly beneficial to Scientologists at all levels.” Tom has beefed up Katie’s Scientology training and treatments these past few weeks — because she wanted to go to New York City and star in a Broadway play. But the Top Gun star stepped in and put a halt on her plans. And now, according to reports, Katie, 29, has been subjected to a series of intensive auditing sessions, some which have lasted for 36 hours straight — with little sleep or food.
So—study of the doctrines and practices of Scientology, combined with a hands-on, full-immersion encounter with authentic North Korean culture. Sounds like an experience not to be missed. In the increasingly unlikely event that this marriage survives, Katie will have to accept that a) she will never, ever leave Tom’s side; and b) she will never, ever have an independent career that’s more successful than his. Given Tom’s current career prospects, that really ain’t good news.
