    Her Own Mission: Impossible? How Katie Holmes Divorced Tom Cruise

    Access Hollywood – Wed, Jul 11, 2012

    Staff firings, secret cell phones - how did Katie Holmes pull off her own "Mission: Impossible," blindsiding Tom Cruise with her divorce filings?

    "Tom was in Iceland filming 'Oblivion,' he was doing one of those action scenes," People magazine's Carlos Greer told Access Hollywood, of when Tom got the news. "He was on his motorcycle, the crew was looking on, and then he got an unexpected call from Katie and she dropped the divorce bomb."

    PLAY IT NOW: Why Did Katie Holmes Really File For Divorce From Tom Cruise?

    On Tuesday, Katie kept both daughter Suri and mom Kathleen close in New York and, according to People, Katie's actions before her June 29 divorce filing were meticulously calculated.

    "She and Tom, they went apartment hunting," Carlos said. "He thought that he was going to live in the apartment with her, but she in fact was planning to divorce him."

    Furthermore, Katie reportedly used a different cell phone with the help of friends so her divorce talks could be completely classified.

    "Days before she even filed for divorce, she was still telling Tom 'I love you,' so Tom was completely blindsided by this decision," Carlos said.

    Katie's attorney father, Martin, reportedly helped orchestrate his daughter's plight by firing the entourage Tom had hired for her.

    However, reports that the settlement precludes Suri from being exposed to Scientology are false, according to Katie's lawyer.

    "Tom is going to be a part of Suri's life, so she will likely be exposed to Scientology," Carlos said, adding that Katie herself is most likely done with the religion. "She hasn't been involved with Scientology for months, and it appears that that wasn't a huge factor. Sources tell People that the main reason was that she was really unhappy in this marriage, and she wanted control, she wanted her freedom back, and she wanted her career."

    • Why is AT&T milking subscribers for an extra $500 million? ‘Because they can’

      AT&T said earlier this week that it will add a new administrative fee to each of its wireless subscribers’ monthly bills.

Subscribers were still outraged. Now that the shouting has died down a bit, however, people are looking for a batter explanation for the new charge they’ll see each month. According to one industry watcher, that explanation couldn’t be simpler: “Because they can.” “Why would AT&T do this? Because they can, and it is all in the pricing strategy,” Joe Hoffman, principal analyst at ABI Research
