Katie Holmes Spends $14 Million in Six Months!
Filed under: CELEBRITY STYLE, Celebrity
Katie Holmes has basically built herself a whole new career out of being married to Tom Cruise -- well, that -- and shopping. In large part because of her habit, the actress has reportedly put about $14 million dollars back into our economy over the past six months.Page Six writes, "While ordinary city dwellers are cutting back, Mrs Cruise has been valiantly doing her bit to boost our economy. We tally up a conservative estimate of her 24-week NYC spending spree, and crown her Manhattan's Most Valued Shopper."
The Top 10 Worst Dressed Stars of 2008
10. Maria Sharapova
Everyone wants the super-hot tennis starlet modeling their clothes and advertising their product -- so much so that Maria was the highest-paid female athlete in the world last year. So...why can't she buy a decent outfit?

9. Paris Hilton
Paris is perfectly capable of looking cute -- so it's shameful that she spends so much time dressed like a tacky transvestite...or a disco ball.

8. Miley Cyrus
Note to teenage girls everywhere: You do not look older when you cake on foundation overdo the blue eyeshadow -- you look like a teenager wearing too much makeup. So Miley, quit wasting time texting naughty photos to your indiscreet boy toys, and spend that time paying attention to your stylist.

7. Mariah Carey
Admittedly this outfit was cool -- when Mariah was 28...10 years ago. But no matter how amazing her body looks, at nearly 40-years-old the Queen of Pop needs to stop dressing like a tween.

6. Heidi Montag
Speidi's less-attractive half makes the list partly because she dresses like a garish fashion goblin, but also because she's obnoxious.

5. Aubrey O'Day
Now that Aubrey's been ousted from Danity Kane, maybe we'll see less of her bra-less, thrift-store foul-ups on the red carpet. Because seriously, is that a table cloth wrapped around her waste? And we can see your nipples!

4. Mischa Barton
Remember when Mischa was an OC superstar and an up-and-coming fashion designer? We loved her then, too! But it's been a sad, sad fall from grace for the former Hollywood hottie. Oh, Mischa. No one likes this faux-hippie, woodland fairy look you've been forcing on us the past twelve months. Please let it go.

3. Paula Abdul
Like so many of the stars on this year's list, it's not just that they've been dressing like weirdos (or, Paula's case, like 19th-century English brigadier generals), but that they should know better! We're not talking about Tila Tequila-style MySpace celebrities -- these are bona fide A-listers with millions of dollars to spend on make-up artists, stylists, and fancy designer threads. So how can they leave the house like this?

2. Solange Knowles
Less famous, less talented, and starved for attention. Ah, yes. The classic little sister syndrome strikes again -- and if Solange's freakish fashion forays are any indication, she's getting desperate for Beyonce-style stardom.

1. Madonna
Madge's unfortunate attempts to reclaim her fashion bravado often left us stunned -- but not in a good way. Maybe the Material Girl wanted to prove she wasn't Earth Mama Jolie just because she likes adopting foreign children, or that she's not really the boring English housewife Guy Ritchie made her out to be -- but regardless, Madonna spent 2008 trying way too hard, and wound up looking insincere, out of touch, or just absurd.

Looking that good is expensive. Katie spent over $17,000 dollars over a 24 week period on her own wardrobe, sneaking a few purchases for Suri in as well. Also not shocking in the least, is that she's blown about $7,000 on eating out at all of NYC's top restaurants. There are also claims that part of her shopping spree included three apartments in the building where Tom has owned a place since 1985. However, her rep has denied these purchases.
Hey, at least someone's doing well in this recession period. We might be insanely jealous, but we can't fault a girl for spending it if she has it! Maybe she picked up a few of the items below ...

and here I thought that was Tom's real girlfriend...

People spend a lot when they are unhappy. Can't go back now, stuck! All that glitters....is not gold. She gambled and got what she thought would be paradise. Stuck in a contract w/no way out--
and Scientology? Life is worth more than the material in it, and too late people find out a vast mistake has been made!

Katie Holmes what happen to you ? Katie Holmes looks years older then she is,she was a pretty young woman till she got with that cult lover Tom Cruise who brainwashed her into a so called"religion" which is only a scam to get millions of dollars from innocent people.Tom Cruise hang your head down in shame for taking a young woman & brainwashing her into someone that always looks so stressed out.Tom himself is a fool for following a sci fiction based cult-shame on you for bashing your fellow actors about their use of prescription med- to name 1-Brooke Sheilds, but there are several others. Katie dump this clown before it is to late-you deserve better!

Katie makes me sick. She is nothing but a gold digger and Tom hasn't figured it out yet.

Katie Gurl, its divorce time. I"d be runnin her face thru a meat grinder getting a shopping bill that high.
Sheila 1-06-2009 @ 8:30PM
Katie what happen to you girl? You used to be a very pretty young woman till you got with the likes of such a brainwashed cult loving idiot= Tom Cruise. Yes it is true he is an idiot & bashes his fellow actors about their use of medicine-to mention 1, Brooke Sheilds.Tom doesn't even think there is a God but he holds himself in such high esteem like he is a God. I don't watch his movies anymore & never will again!

I'd tax these people until their eyes bled. No one "earns" the kind of money these people are paid (Hollywood celebs, pro athletes, CEO's). Just because the industry they are in happens to make billions of dollars, as opposed to the public school teaching industry for example, does NOT mean that they should get to keep those paychecks. A HUGE percentage of their paychecks should be redistributed downward to people who work in industries that pay a pittance comparitively in the form of Single-Payer Nationalized Healthcare, for example.

Yes. That would be communism. She earned the money. It is HER money, not money belonging to (or owed to) the poor. Get over it.
beth 1-07-2009 @ 12:31AM
I have to agree with you 100 % on this, and they need to think about who pays their salaries also. We go to the movies, we go to the games and we support all of this, so that they can make those high checks, so come on every body... they need to be punished a little bit. We little people out here that go to work every day 365 days a year, we need the break. They get a nice break when it is off time, or off season or whatever they so choose to do... so hats off to you Jennifer. I just wish we could make the people up the big house see all of this, but they do NOT want to step on those toes either.
Ashley 1-07-2009 @ 12:50AM
Actually, thats exactly what that means. Everyone has a right to keep their paycheck that they earned without it being unfairly taken from them to support those in different lower paying industries. Just because they were able to make a good life for themselves doesnt mean that all their money should be taken to support those in the fast food indusrty.
Flame 1-06-2009 @ 9:01PM
Well good for her , Must be nice most people do not make that in a life time much less spend that in 6 months . Not jealous what so ever , But i do not know how someone could possibly need that much and i just can't imagine making that kind of money and not helping people who really need it , But to each is own .
