Katie Holmes Meets Up with Jeremy Strong in New York

Posted by  on

Looks like Katie Holmes has long moved on!

The actress, 33, was spotted in New York over the weekend with actor, Jeremy Strong. Strong is Katie’s former co-star in her 2010 movie, The Romantics. 

Holmes wore a beige blouse and a short printed skirt, and she seemed to be happy as she walked together with Strong. Although, a source spills that:

“They’re totally just friends and have been since The Romantics.”

According to some sources, the duo spent an afternoon watching an off-Broadway production titled If You Haven’t Found It Yet, which starred Jake Gyllenhaal. Adds the source about Holme’s and Strong’s friendship:

“He’s very plugged in to the New York theater scene and is showing her the ropes.”

Meanwhile, Katie is set to get back on the stage for the first time in almost four years. She is also scheduled to launch her first collection from her clothing line, Holmes and Yang, at the New York Fashion Week with her business and design partner, Jeanne Yang.

Wow, sounds like Katie is really busy!

Posted by  on

Looks like Hollywood actress Katie Holmes is dead serious with her acting career now that she is divorced from A-lister actor Tom Cruise.

Holmes is set to return to Broadway in New York City to star in a five-character comedy play that will be directed by three-time Tony Award winner Jack O’Brien. The newly single actress is set to take part in Theresa Rebeck’s Dead Accounts at the Music Box Theatre.

Sources revealed Dead Accounts talks about a son who returns to his family’s home in Cincinnati, flush with money, which raises red flags for his sister, who is living with their elderly parents. According to reports, Holmes will play the sister role.

The stage play is the second in the acting career of Holmes, who earlier appeared on Broadway in the 2008 production of All My Sons.  With her Broadway appearance, it is speculated that Holmes will now reside in New York City away from Cruise who lives in Los Angeles.

We wish Holmes all the best in her acting career now that she is separated from Tom Cruise.

Posted by  on

Celeste Holm, who became famous for her role in Broadway’s Oklahoma!, died last Sunday at the age of 95. Dying in her apartment near New York City’s Central Park, Holm has been in the hospital for dehydration just about two weeks before she died after a fire broke out in her building. The fire was said to have come from Robert De Niro’s apartment. Amy Phillips, her great-niece, said that the actress was surrounded by her husband, Frank Basile, and other family members and friends when she died. She assumes:

 I think she wanted to be here, in her home, among her things, with people who loved her.

Aside from her role as Ado Annie on Broadway, Holm was also known for winning an Oscar Best Supporting Actress for 1947’s Gentleman’s Agreement. Holm married five times, with opera singer Basile being her last. They married on her 87th birthday. She left two sons and three grandchildren.

She will always be remembered by both Hollywood and Broadway. Condolences to her family in this difficult time.
