Katie Holmes was let out of Tom’s clutches for a very good reason yesterday: to attend the premiere of Hairspray starring none other than church-mate John Travolta. And free from the diminutive influence of her husband, Katie as you can see is workin’ the carpet hard, giving us a sad glimpse of what could have been. Even the hair, while still a nod to the MiniVan, is much less mature on top of a form fitting short dress with great heels and glowing skin.

She is gorgeous, non? 

Gorgeous and trapped? 

Rumour has it she’s been unhappy in Berlin where Tom is shooting Valkyrie. As you know, Germans aren’t taken with Scientology and as such, Katie supposedly hasn’t been getting the top notch treatment she’s been accustomed to. Word is she’s asked Tom to let her stay at home, in LA with Little Sci where she can shop with Posh and wear heels.

Some say he’s granted her a brief reprieve. Big Little Sci is nothing if not generous.
