Two days ago Katie was spotted toted a copy of Jackie Kennedy’s One Special Summer on her way into a meeting at her director’s house in Los Angeles.
The book, written about Jackie and and her sister Lee’s trip to Europe as young women, was written in 1951 as a sort of “scrapbook” for their mother.
Very serious about her upcoming role as the former first lady, Katie seems intent on researching every aspect of the lake Jaqueline Kennedy Onassis’ life.
Yesterday our girl was also spotted driving her Mercedes to a Scientology Center in Los Angeles.

Although Rachel Weisz and Katie Holmes will both be playing Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis in two different projects, Weisz says don’t expect a rivalry to develop between the two stars.
“She’s a fantastic actress,” Weisz, referring to Holmes, told PEOPLE at Thursday’s NYDG’s Rx Haiti benefit in New York. “She will be fabulous.“With the possibility of critics comparing and contrasting their performances, Weisz insists, “It’s not a competition. I’m surprised more people haven’t played her thus far. It seems strange there hasn’t been many versions. But it’s great she has the opportunity to play her as well.”
The 2006 Oscar winner (for The Constant Gardener), 40, will star in the big-screen drama to be directed by husband Darren Aronofsky that chronicles the days immediately following President John F. Kennedy’s 1963 assassination. Meanwhile, Holmes, 31, will star in the History Channel’s eight-hour miniseries, The Kennedys, costarring Greg Kinnear and due to premiere next year.
Will Weisz watch Holmes’s take on Jackie? “For sure!” she says.
What’s Suri Cruise really like?
Hunky Channing Tatum found out when he worked with Suri’s mom Katie Holmes earlier this month on the crime thriller Son of No One, and the famous four year-old paid a one-day visit to the film’s NYC set.
“[She's] a happy, playful little girl!” Tatum told UsMagazine.com at Monday’s premiere of his film Earth Made of Glass in NYC.
On set, Suri and her mom “definitely” seemed close, Tatum added.
And Tatum, who’s married to actress Jenna Dewan, raved about his 31-year-old costar Holmes, “She’s already wrapped on the film,” he explained. “I wanted to do more stuff with her. She really brings it in the movie — just you watch!”

According to People‘s Caught in the Act!:
• Katie Holmes escorted a pink tutu-sporting Suri to her ballet class at the Village Arts Center in Pacific Palisades, Calif., and watched from outside the room as her daughter took her lesson. “Suri seemed to have a blast with her friends,” a source says. “She was doing really great and seemed amazing at following instructions.” After the class, Holmes popped into the studio and Suri showed off her new ballerina moves. Says the source: “Katie looked super proud.” Next up, a visit to children’s clothing store Petit Ami, where the mother-daughter duo picked out floral-print dresses.
Promoting her new film ‘The Romantics’ at the Sundance Film Festival, Katie Holmes joins her co-star Elijah Wood to talk weddings. (Jan. 27)
The much-anticipated arrival of Katie Holmes at the Sundance Film Festival took place Monday night amid a flurry of flashbulbs and friends.
The actress – who’s at the Utah fest with two movies, The Extra Man and The Romantics – arrived looking cute and cozy in the snow but without hubby Tom Cruise.
Holmes, 31, started her evening by heading to the Hotel Park City for dinner with pals before her The Extra Man premiere. “Katie arrived at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse,” says a onlooker, “with five people – three girls and two guys.
“She sat a real great table in the middle of the restaurant. A lot of people knew who she was but no one really approached her. She seemed really comfortable and really calm – really seemed content,” adds the eyewitness.
Per the Sundance style, Holmes kept the vibe cool. “She got up and walked around the restaurant by herself, no security or anything,” says the onlooker. “The table shared a bottle of red wine. When she left they went out to the car they had waiting.”
Also dining together in the steakhouse were Kerry Washington and Naomi Watts, stars of Mother and Child.
Following dinner, Holmes hit the red carpet for her premiere. In a white beanie and scarf combo she fit in perfectly with the causal festival look, and she posed for photographers along with costars Kevin Kline, Paul Dano and John C. Reilly.
On Tuesday, Holmes is expected to attend her second premiere, for The Romantics. The romantic comedy, which focuses on a group of college friends who reunite after 6 years for a wedding, features an all-star ensemble that also includes Josh Duhamel, Anna Paquin and Adam Brody.
