So look, your friends here at The Hollywood Gossip love Teen Mom. Love. It. Unfortunately, not everyone feels the same way these days. Sure, lots and lots of people keep up with the cast and all the drama. But not a lot of those people actually sit down and watch the show every week anymore. And as hard as it is to say, that fact may be causing a big, big problem … 1. Hey, Girls! Here’s the current cast of Teen Mom OG: Catelynn Lowell, Maci Bookout, Amber Portwood, Bristol Palin, and Cheyenne Floyd. 2. Big Changes This is quite the shake-up from last season, but we’ll get into that in a moment. 3. Oh Wow This current season premiered on October 1st, and it pulled in 957,000, which is … well, it’s not great. 4. Ouch 851,000 people tuned in for the second episode, and we probably don’t have to tell you that a drop of over 100,000 viewers is even less great. 5. Sorry, Ladies The numbers are even worse when you look back at older season premieres. 6. Not Great at All Like, this is honestly really, really bad. View Slideshow
Hollywood history is filled with whirlwind romances that were followed by abrupt, mysterious breakups. But you’d be hard-pressed to find a situation more bizarre or enigmatic than the divorce of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes . After winning the hearts of millions during their honeymoon period, Holmes and Cruise called it quits after just six years of marriage. And despite the fact that they seem to have had virtually no contact with one another in the years since their 2012 divorce, the contentious nature of their split continues to make both actors tabloid staples. Sources close to the situation say Cruise has not seen daughter Suri in four years. This, despite the fact that he’s been in the same city as the 12-year-old on numerous occasions. But while he seems to have little interest in being a father to his daughter, Cruise continues to closely monitor the actions of both Suri and her long-suffering mother. According to a new report from Life & Style, Holmes believes the Church of Scientology has been spying on her for years in order to ensure that she doesn’t engage in any activities that might undermine the organization and its reputation. “Tom does still have control over Katie,” a source tells the tabloid, adding that Holmes still needs to consider whether Cruise would approve before making any major decisions. “She paid a price to escape him.” The insider adds that Katie has no doubt she’s being continuously monitored by CoS operatives: “Katie wondered if she was even being spied on by church employees in her own home,” the source claims. While the allegations that Holmes is under surveillance remain unconfirmed, there’s no question that she’s been constrained by the terms of a very strict nondisclosure agreement. “She could lose custody of Suri [Cruise]. It’s quite sick, really,” says former Scientologist and anti-cult activist Leah Remini. “She’s been muzzled about saying much about Tom or Scientology as part of the agreement she signed after she filed for divorce,” the anonymous insider says of Holmes’ situation. “And those agreements don’t have an end date. It doesn’t look like there will ever be a time that his specter isn’t looming over her and Suri.” Fortunately, Katie isn’t entirely alone in her struggle against Tom and the powerful organization for whom he serves as a global spokesman: The informant says Cruise’s second wife Nicole Kidman has reached out to Holmes and offered support: “Katie and Nicole have spoken about raising their daughters to be independent and giving them a solid education, which is the opposite of Scientology teachings,” the insider claims. “Just living their lives is their way of moving on from the Church of Scientology.” Sadly, it seems that like their mothers, Cruise’s children will never be fully free of the CoS and its pernicious influence.

There was a time when the name Tom Cruise conjured images of a megawatt smile and a stack of phone books to make him appear less Hobbit-like in stature. These days, of course, when we think of Cruise, we’re more likely to imagine the Sea Org members chained up in his basement or the ultra-luxurious spaceship that they’re scrambling to finish building in time for the second coming of L. Ron Hubbard. Yes, at this point, Cruise is less “bankable movie star” and more of “prophet of the Spacelord Xenu.” His role as the face of Scientology takes up a lot of his time, and we’re sure it’s demanding work. Take one hard look at the husk of a man that is Sean Spicer, and you can see the toll that’s exacted by constantly trying to sell total BS to an increasingly skeptical population. But hey, Cruise can do what Cruise wants to do with his time. If he wants to spend his days having his thetans read and avoiding Suppressive Persons, that’s his deal. Unfortunately, it seems one of the SP’s that Tom’s been dodging is none other than his youngest daughter, Suri Cruise. As you’re probably aware, Tom’s divorce from Katie Holmes was a profoundly ugly one, as the actress sought not only to escape her marriage, but also the Scientology community, which tends to hold its adherents’ lives in a Mafia-like vise grip. She succeeded, but only because Cruise agreed to an arrangement in which he and Holmes would completely cut ties. Unfortunately, it seems that also means Cruise has cut ties with Suri . Last year, In Touch reported that Tom hadn’t seen Suri in 1,000 days . Now, the tabloid is reporting that that number has reached 1,346 days and counting . Cruise is currently traveling the globe to promote The Mummy, and his promotional tour recently brought him to within just 23 miles of Suri, who was in Calabasas when Tom was in LA. Sadly, the actor reportedly made no effort to see his daughter, instead hopping a plane to Australia to continue promoting the film. “Tom could have easily made the trip to see Suri. It only takes about 30 minutes without traffic. It would’ve only added a few hours to his busy schedule,” a source tells the magazine. The same insider notes that Tom has not been photographer with Suri since September of 2013. View Slideshow: 10 Stunning Tom Cruise Claims Leveled by Leah Remini
