			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to <a href="http://usmagazine.com/claim_katie_holmes_signed_contract_3m_a_year_prenup">US Magazine</a>, the marriage between Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes is an elaborate sham setup by Scientologists.  This comes from Andrew Morton&#8217;s new book, <strong>Tom Cruise: An Unauthorized Biography</strong>, which comes out tomorrow, full of juicy secrets.</p>
<p><img id="image742" src="http://gossip.elliottback.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/tom-cruise-katie-holmes-madrid.jpg" alt="tom-cruise-katie-holmes-madrid.jpg" /></p>
<p>What kind of juicy secrets?  Well first, confirmation about Katie Holme&#8217;s wedding to Cruise being controlled by Scientology: &#8220;Morton claims Cruise had Holmes sign a document before they started dating that allowed &#8216;Scientologists full control over her life&#8217;.&#8221;  This is probably not a secret they would <a href="http://gossip.elliottback.com/2007/09/29/david-hans-schmidt-dead-tom-cruises-scientologys-secrets-safe/">kill to keep safe</a>, as it simply involves that Holmes &#8220;must never use psychiatric care or psychiatric drugs.&#8221;</p>
<p>Additionally, Morton&#8217;s book validates the claim that <a href="http://gossip.elliottback.com/2006/06/08/tom-cruise-katie-holmes-prenup/">Katie Holmes is under a $3,000,000 a year salary</a> via prenup for her marriage with Cruise.  Of course, the Church of Scientology claims that &#8220;Ms. Holmes never signed any agreement.&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The man who brought us the Screech (Dustin Diamond), Tonya Harding, and Colin Farrel sex tapes and nude photos of Paula Jones and Jamie Foxx, celebrity scandal purveyor David Hans Schmidt is dead.  Most recently, he was in the news after pleading guilty to extort $1 million from Tom Cruise.  Apparently had stolen wedding photos of a sensitive nature.  According to the <a href="http://www.nationalledger.com/artman/publish/article_272616351.shtml">National Ledger</a>, he hung himself:</p>
<blockquote><p>The 47-year-old Schmidt was found in a shower stall at a North 21st street condominium in Phoenix, AZ. &#8220;He hung himself, and the shower stall was so small, he had to squat to get the job done.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><img id="image721" src="http://gossip.elliottback.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/hansschmidt.jpg" alt="hansschmidt.jpg" /></p>
<p>Some random facts from <a href="http://www.nndb.com/people/564/000132168/">nndb</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>Born: 27-May-1960<br />
Birthplace: Rochester, MN<br />
Military service: US Army (1978-81)</p>
<p>High School: Dover-Eyota High School, Eyota, MN (1978)<br />
University: Rochester Community College, Rochester, MN<br />
University: BA English, Augsburg College, Minneapolis, MN (1985)<br />
University: Bowling Green State University</p>
<p>Charges: Harassment, Violating Probation</p></blockquote>
<p>It&#8217;s possible that he found evidence that <a href="http://gossip.elliottback.com/2007/03/03/tom-cruise-is-gay/">Tom Cruise is Gay</a>, in which case the Church of Scientology and Cruise himself would certainly be interested in seeing him never see the light of day again.  Who killed David Hans Schmidt?  We&#8217;ll never know, but a lot of people wanted him dead.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kim Basinger leaked a frustrated voicemail that actor <strong>Alec Baldwin</strong> left for his 11-year-old daughter Ireland after she failed to answer a scheduled call on April 11th.  The <a href="http://www.aolcdn.com/tmz_audio/0419_baldwin.mp3">audio file (mp3)</a> transcript reads:</p>
<blockquote><p>Hey I want to tell you something, okay, and I want to leave a message for you right now, because again it&#8217;s 10:30 here in New York on a Wednesday and once again, <strong>I have made an ass of myself</strong> trying to get to a phone to call you at a specific time. When the time comes for me to make the phone call, I stop whatever I am doing and I go and I make that phone call at 11 o&#8217;clock in the morning in New York and if you don&#8217;t pick up the phone at 10 o&#8217;clock at night and you don&#8217;t even have that goddamn phone turned on.</p>
<p>I am tired of playing this game with you. I&#8217;m leaving this message for you to tell you that you have insulted me for the last time. You have insulted me. You don&#8217;t have the brains or the decency of a human being!  <strong>I do not give a damn that you&#8217;re 12 years old or 11 years old</strong>, or a child, or that your mother is a thoughtless pain in the ass who doesn&#8217;t care about what you do as far as I&#8217;m concerned.</p>
<p>You have humiliated me for the last time with this phone and when I come out there next week. I&#8217;m going to fly out there for the day just to straighten you out on this issue. I’m going to let you know just how disappointed in you that I am and how angry I am with you that you&#8217;ve done this to me again.</p>
<p>You made me feel like shit and you&#8217;ve made me feel like a fool over and over and over again. And this crap you pull on me with this goddamn phone situation that you would never dream of doing to your mother and you do it to me constantly and over and over again. I am going to get on a plane and I am going to straighten your ass out when I see you.</p>
<p>Do you understand me? I am going to really make sure you get it. That I’m going to get on a plane and I’m gonna turn around and come home. So you better be ready Friday the 20th to meet with me. So I&#8217;m going to let you know how I feel, about what a rude little pig you really are. You are a<strong> rude thoughtless little pig</strong>.</p></blockquote>
<p><img src="http://gossip.elliottback.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/alec-baldwin.jpg" alt="" title="alec-baldwin" width="450" height="375" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-873" /></p>
<p>After the tape leaked, Alec Baldwin&#8217;s spokesperson made the following statement:</p>
<blockquote><p>In the best interest of the child, Alec will do what the mother is pathologically incapable of doing &#8230; keeping his mouth shut and obeying the court order. The mother and her lawyer leaked this sealed material in violation of a court order. Although Alec acknowledges that he should have used different language in parenting his child, everyone who knows him privately knows what he has been put through for the past six years</p></blockquote>
<p>Alec Baldwin himself released an apologetic statement on his website, which details the emotional turmoil of years of custody battles with a divorce court, and the parental alienation he claims to face:</p>
<blockquote><p>Thank you to everyone who has posted messages of suppport and understanding. Naturally, it is not best for a parent to lose their temper with their child. Everyone who knows me privately knows that I have endured a great deal over the last several years in my custody litigation. Everyone who knows me privately knows that certain people will go to any lengths to embarass me and to disrupt my relationship with my daughter.</p>
<p>In such public cases, your opponents attempt to take a picture of you on your worst day and insist that this is who you are as a person. Outside the doors of divorce court, I have friends, I have respect from people I work with and I have a normal relationship with my daughter. All of that is threatened whenever one enters a court room.</p>
<p>Although I have been told by numerous people not to worry too much, as all parents lose their patience with their kids, I am most saddened that this was released to the media because of what it does to a child. I&#8217;m sorry, as everyone who knows me is aware, for losing my temper with my child. I have been driven to the edge by parental alienation for many years now. You have to go through this to understand. (Although I hope you never do.) I am sorry for what happened. But I am equally sorry that a court order was violated, which had deliberately been put under seal in this case.</p>
<p>Once my book is published, I&#8217;m sure more people will understand the incredible strains created by parental alienation.</p></blockquote>
<p>We here at the Gossip Rag are just concerned that he doesn&#8217;t quite know how old his daughter is.  Wait&#8211;11, 12, or 13, a little girl still caught in the divorce game?  It sounds like a Snoop Dogg 213 lyric to a bad breakup settlement.  Hopefully this drama will disappear under the wraps <em>soon</em>.</p>

<p>TSG spells out how the scam worked in great detail:</p>
<blockquote><p>According to the indictment, Snipes conspired with Eddie Ray Kahn and former certified public accountant Douglas Rosile in the tax scam. Kahn is the founder of a Florida company (now known as Guiding Light of God Ministries) that, investigators allege, &#8220;promoted and sold fraudulent tax schemes&#8221; to clients like Snipes. Kahn has claimed that U.S. citizens could only be taxed on income earned from certain foreign-based activities (and not on money made in this country). This claim&#8211;known as the &#8220;861 argument&#8221; for the section of the tax code to which it refers&#8211;has been flatly rejected by the Internal Revenue Service.</p></blockquote>
<p>The moral of the story:  if you&#8217;re rich, pay your taxes.</p>
