Lately, Katie Holmes has been doing a lot of what she does best; that is, she’s been shopping, walking around in workout gear (look at those lifts!), and carrying around chocolate-laden coffee drinks. She has a few movies coming out soon (which are described below), including a decent-looking horror flick that will probably survive regardless of her horrific performance. Oddly enough, one of Katie’s bragging points is that Al Pacino appears in two of her upcoming films, which is rather hilarious at best. I mean, I love Pacino to death, but none of his movies from the past decade have gone anywhere. So why do the B- and C-list actors continue to use his name as a justification for appearing in bad films? It’s a question for the ages.
At any rate, the Women In Film association shall hold a fund-raising gala tonight to honor this year’s “highly accomplished” honorees, which includes “Face of the Future” Katie Holmes, who has been described in very press-friendly language as a “powerhouse” alongside the likes of fellow honoree Annette Bening. No kidding.
In preparation for the ceremony, Katie’s been interviewed by Variety alongside the other women who will be honored tonight. All of them (besides Katie) are indeed accomplished actresses, directors, or cinematographers, and they’ve all be asked to express their dreams for the future. When the time arrived, the zombified one staggered forth and recited some vapid yet well-rehearsed remarks:
The wish to play a femme fatale from the 1940s or 1950s is surprising for Max Mara’s Face of the Future honoree Holmes. The star of the recent miniseries “The Kennedys” longs to do another period piece for either television or film and play “someone glamorous, a combination of Grace Kelly and Marilyn Monroe.”
“They’re very different but bring together in one character that ladylike feeling and that pain and also the strength. It’s something I’m interested in exploring,” she says.
Her dream director is one that got away, the legendary Billy Wilder.
“Some Like It Hot and The Apartment are brilliant,” the actress enthuses. “I would have loved to have worked with Wilder.”
This year, Holmes co-stars in three pics: the thriller Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, with Guy Pearce and Bailee Madison; the comedy Jack and Jill, with Adam Sandler and Al Pacino (”It can’t be anything but wet-your-pants funny”); and action drama The Son of No One, with Channing Tatum and Pacino.
Despite all the film activity, Holmes still aspires to return to the boards.
“Broadway wasn’t a one-time thing for me,” says the star of the 2008 revival of All My Sons. “I am constantly reading plays, and I want to go back if they’ll have me.”

Face of the Future. Okay, so Katie technically started acting when she was 19-years-old in 1997’s The Ice Storm, and then she did five years of “Dawson’s Creek,” but shortly afterwards began to slide into obscurity until the Unhinged, Lift-Wearing Midget rescued her. Or imprisoned her. Whatever.
My point is, Katie’s been more or less “in the business” for fourteen years (well past the stage of potential “ingenue”), and she’s enjoyed a pretty disastrous run to boot. For certain, Hollywood has given Katie plenty of chances to prove her mettle, but she has always reverted back to the same habit of talking out of her mouth for every character that she plays. To be perfectly blunt, her acting career has absolutely no potential for growth. Have you ever heard anyone exclaim, “I really want to see that new Katie Holmes movie this weekend!”? That’s never been the case.
So why, at this stage of the game, has Katie Holmes been honored as the “Face of the Future” by the Women In Film association?

GAH! I hate myself for admitting this, but I absolutely love Katie Holmes?s jeans. They?re beautiful and I want them. I used to have a pair with a similar cut and a lighter wash, and I literally wore them every day for, like, a year. Look at how flattering and slimming the jeans look on her! I need these jeans. I want them very badly.
So does this mean I have to eat my words about Katie always having horrible style? I might. But look what she put with these jeans - it?s a fancy Canadian tuxedo! She paired her jeans with a lighter denim shirt, which is fitted (?!?), and a fug neck scarf. I kind of like the orange bag, though. I wouldn?t accessorize with orange, but I appreciate that the orange looks great with the denim.
Katie?s tried to be a style trendsetter before, to mixed results. I hated when she did the ?boyfriend jeans? thing, but I liked her ?70s style high-waisted bell-bottom jean phase. I thought she looked cute then too, and this current look reminded me of it. Sigh? I love a good pair of jeans.

Here are some new photos of Katie Holmes and Suri, both clad in heels, on the beach in Malibu yesterday. I have no idea where Tom Cruise was, but Katie and Suri were apparently invited to some beach party or something, and Katie tried to introduce her daughter to the ocean. Suri looks kind of scared of the ocean at first, but I think she managed to get close to the surf for a brief moment.
By the way, should we even discuss Katie and Suri?s beach-wear? I realize that they were probably in Malibu for a Hollywood party, but is this standard-issue beach party-wear these days? Katie?s wearing jean shorts, a blazer and spike heels?? You know she was sinking into the sand in those. Meanwhile, Suri is so covered up for a Memorial Day party! Suri wears less clothes in the dead of winter in NYC. Odd. As for Suri?s heels? at this point, I?m not even going to get into it. The little girl loves her heels. She?s a chip of the ol? lift-wearing-midget block. She really is her daddy?s girl.
Last thing: why is Katie ?posing? pigeon-toed for the pap photos??

Closing out the weekend with a fun-filled beach excursion, Katie Holmes and daughter Suri Cruise hit up a Memorial Day beach party in Malibu on Monday (May 30).
The Cruise ladies both looked cute and casual while sporting high heels as they romped along the Pacific coastline during the festive get together with a group of loved ones.
The mother/daughter holiday outing comes shortly after the theatrical trailer for Katie's new movie "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark" hit the web.
Due in theaters on August 26th, the horror/thriller flick tells the story of "a young girl sent to live with her father and his new girlfriend who discovers creatures in her new home who want to claim her as one of their own."
