She has always had a love for New York City, and last night (September 8) Katie Holmes took part in a 9/11 remembrance event.
The ?Teaching Mrs. Tingle? actress showed up at the NYU Skirball Center of the Performing Arts to perform a reading of 110 Stories a few days before the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks.
Joining Katie in the reading were stars like Cynthia Nixon, Jeremy Piven, Mario Cantone, and Vincent Piazza.
Proceeds from the special star-studded event were donated to the New York Says Thank You Foundation.

Enjoying the beautiful weather, Katie Holmes and her daughter Suri Cruise headed off to Chelsea Piers in New York City today (September 8).
The ?Mad Money? babe and her adorable daughter both donned colorful ensembles as they strolled past some paparazzi to have some active quality time together.
In career news, Katie recently discussed the possibility of a sequel to her recent film ?Don?t Be Afraid of the Dark.?
Holmes explained, ?We never did discuss that, but now I?m wondering. I want to know what [director]Guillermo [del Toro]?s thinking ? he?s got so many amazing ideas, so I don?t know.?

Kicking off her day, Katie Holmes was spotted leaving her downtown home in New York City this morning (September 8).
The ?Dawson?s Creek? starlet donned a brown fedora along with a denim jacket and grey trousers as she slinked past the shutterbugs while radying to check out the latest trends during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.
And despite reports that Katie blames her physique for her lack of acting gigs, it turns out Ms. Holmes is happy with her body.
Life & Style erroneously reported that Katie is convinced she?s losing Hollywood roles because she?s too big, even though ?her fight against fat has reached shocking extremes.?
But Holmes? rep completely blasted the story, telling press, ?It?s clearly ridiculous.?

Here’s Katie Holmes at the VMAs with her pose-hard face that is in no way justified by the very budget-looking dress she’s trying to work. This plain lace Azzedine Alaia dress looks like something from the sale rack at Forever 21. She could have saved it with some hot fashion-forward shoes, but instead she chose these terrible light brown lace up boots! What was she thinking?
You can tell she thinks she looks hot. All that auditing must have fried her fashion chip.
Katie presented the video of the year, which Katy Perry won for Firework. Her voice cracked a lot and she looked pretty nervous up there to me. I guess she’s promoting that Don’t Be Afraid of The Dark movie, which was out this Friday. It pretty much tanked at the box office and came in third after The Help and Columbiana. She’ll have to ditch her husband if she wants her career back. It worked for Nicole Kidman. She can act though.

Getting to work on a new project, Katie Holmes was spotted at Digital Domain Studios in Marina del Rey, California yesterday (August 25).
The ?Don?t Be Afraid of the Dark? actress hopped out of her chauffeured car and quickly made her way inside, sporting a grey top and navy trousers.
Perhaps the most noteworthy aspect of her appearance was what appeared to be a new chain tattoo on her left wrist.
It?s still unconfirmed whether Katie went for some real ink or if it?s just a temporary Henna artwork.

Up and about bright and early this morning (August 23), a bundled up Katie Holmes was spotted visiting the local dance studio in Brentwood, CA.
The "Mad Money" actress wore a grey zip-up hoodie and black tights over her slender frame while exiting the facility after touching up on her stepwork.
The sighting comes just as a brand new clip from Katie's movie ?Don?t Be Afraid of the Dark? has been released - with the film set to make its debut in theaters this Friday (August 26),
In the scene, Miss Holmes plays a woman named Kim who is seen showing her daughter, Sally (played by Bailee Madison), a pond full of magical fish.
The mother and daughter stand over the koi pond with Kim explaining to Sally that koi fish are a very special type of fish.
"Badgers can spot them against the mud of the bottom because of their bright colors," she says. "It makes them special. It's also what makes them vulnerable. They have to be tough. And you too, Sally."

The internet, particularly in the age of Wikileaks, has worked an enormous amount of damage upon the “Church” of Scientology, and many of us wonder why certain celebrities (i.e., Tom Cruise, John Travolta, and their wives) choose to stay. Naturally, part of the problem is that the cult has gathered far too many “damaging” secrets through its extensive auditing process of the celebrities in question, and they worry that their careers would be sabotages if this information should (and it would) be leaked by the CO$. Also, I figure that these celebs must have preemptively decided to turn a blind eye to any and all injustices that have been revealed by former members (if you’re not familiar, Ex-Scientology Kids is a great place to start). They just figure that things are great for them, so why rock the proverbial boat? Katie Holmes, especially, is not about to rock that boat. Not only would doing so endanger her astronomical clothing budget, but she’s at least smart enough to see what happened to Nicole after she and Tom divorced. After a number of years of marriage, Nicole resisted Scientology and, as a suppressive person, the church would never allow Nicole to be near her adoptive children again. When was the last time that you saw Nicole photographed with either Connor or Isabella? Exactly.
This week’s issue of In Touch magazine reveals that Katie’s life is one of constant surveillance and control from spies in the CO$. Most of the information comes from a new book, Inside Scientology: The Story of America’s Most Secretive Religion, by Janet Reitman. While the stuff about unpaid labor and Katie’s “wife audition” is nothing new, there’s an interesting claim that Katie and Tom are largely ignorant of the scheme that’s been put in place to keep them line. Would you welcome the CO$ into your lives and even into your bedroom? It seems that the Cruises have done just that:
When Katie Holmes married Tom Cruise in 2006, it almost seemed like a fairy tale come true, from the custom-made gown to the man of her dreams waiting at the altar. But five years later, a new book suggests that the reality of her life is much different than she could have ever imagined. According to the book, Tom’s involvement with Scientology has ensnared his family in a weird world of spying, control, and some claim, even unpaid labor.
And now, these allegations are being exposed in a new book, Inside Scientology, by Janet Reitman. “Church leaders see Tom as a cash cow,” Reitman tells In Touch. So, she says, they do everything possible to ensure that he and Katie never leave the church — and never spill its secrets.
From its very beginnings, Reitman says, Tom and Katie’s relationship has been carefully engineered by Scientologists, although the couple’s rep denies the claims. When Tom and Nicole Kidman divorced, Reitman writes, curch staffers began a campaign to find him a new wife who could attract younger would-be Scientologists. “My source Marc Headly saw viedo tryouts of a number of actresses who were being auditioned to be an appropriate girlfriend for Tom,” Reitman reveals. He claimed several actresses were interviewed — but Katie was the only one who wanted Tom.
According to the book, Katie, 32, has played the part of a dutiful wife ever since. And she has to, since Scientology handlers reportedly watch her every move. “Any conversation you’d have with the star, anything you did with him, what the star read, watched, who he talked to, what he was hearing,” all would be reported to the church, former Scientology official Karen Pressley tells Reitman, meaning no aspect of Tom and Katie’s life is secret, and every aspect must be in line with Scientology rules.
The payoff? The book claims that Tom, 49, gets to use unpaid Scientology members as personal servants for him, Katie and their daughter, Suri, 5. Over the years, Reitman writes, he has had church staffers remodel his condo, build tennis courts for him, landscape his property nad more — without paying a penny. In short, the book suggest Katie’s entire life is a Scientology production, whether she realizes it or not. As former Scientologist Nancy Many tells Reitman, Tom and Katie “are completely ignorant of the strategy that has been put in place to hook and control them.” If that’s true, will the book finally open their eyes?
[From In Touch, print edition, August 22, 2010]
I haven’t read this book yet, but it’s on my Kindle wish list, so it’ll happen at some point. One book that I will heartily recommend on the same topic is My Billion Year Contract: Memoir of a Former Scientologist by former CO$ slave Nancy Many. If you read the Amazon synopsis and reviews, it’s clear that many other former Scientologists have found support and encouragement from the book by realizing that they’re not alone in their struggles to regain some sense of personal identity after breaking free from the cult. For “civilians” who choose to leave, the CO$ turns them loose without anything — no money, no friends, no family — and often with a large debt hanging over their heads for the so-called “free” audits they received while serving the church as employees.
Meanwhile, Reitman’s book will undoubtedly open some new sets of eyes even though, at this point, it’s almost common knowledge that Katie and Tom only employ fellow Scientologists in their household. Katie’s assistants? Scientologists. The couple’s bodyguards? Scientologists.

Bidding farewell to the Big Apple after a whirlwind promotional tour, Katie Holmes was spotted boarding a private helicopter alongside husband Tom Cruise and daughter Suri late last evening (August 9).
Seen leaving their New York City pad dressed in sunglasses, t-shirts and jeans, mom and dad did their best to protect dress-wearing Suri from the nearby photogs while having her hold onto a Disney umbrella to keep her face out of view.
The after-dark departure follows Katie's visit to "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon," in which she stopped by NBC Studios to give press to her new horror flick "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark."
During her time on set, Homles got interactive with the crowd as well as the funnyman host as she joined in on a game of Pictionary.
While both Fallon and the "Dawson's Creek" star were teamed up with suitable audience member teammates, it was eventually Fallon who came up on top with his game-winning sketch of an iPad.
