As always, if anyone can scan/transcribe these pieces and send them in, that would be great. Thanks to Lux and Robby for letting us know that Katie interviews Derek Luke in the recent edition of Interview magazine (Courtney Love on the cover) They talk about working together in Pieces of April and about Katie being in Batman. ===================== Thanks to Jonathan for letting us know there is a small Katie article in the new issue of US Magazine. There is a pic of Katie and Chris w/Herbert (prob one of these). The story refers to them househunting in Santa Monica and Venice and arguing - then going out to eat and feeling much better. It also mentioned that Katie drives a BMW X5... ================ Thanks to UKMike for posting the following on the mb: Just to let everyone know that FHM Top 100 sexiest women in the World 2004 results are released tomorrow so will have to find out where Katie is. Unfortunately is not in the top 10 which has already been announced but she was 39 last year so lets see if she improves. With the publicity that she has been receiving lately then maybe she will be higher. I hope so! Chris Klein talks about possibly working with Katie in the Washington Times: Time on promotional tours, of course, is time away from fiancee Katie Holmes, another young actor coming into her own. Has the couple considered working together? "It's not something we've thought about," Mr. Klein says. "We've developed a very cool way of leaving business at the office. But if it comes up and the material is great and it could help us both, then why not." Link to story
