– The Church of Scientology just gets creepier and creepier: Now insiders tell the National Enquirer that Scientology bigwigs will probably choose Tom Cruise's next lady friend, Radar reports. "Tom's next marriage will be inside the church," says one expert. The main contender is Yolanda Pecoraro, 27, whom Radar refers to as a "Latin beauty." A former Scientologist calls her a "Scientology princess," noting that she was raised in the church, and rumor has it she even dated Tom back in 2004—there's at least one photo of them together (with the Beckhams, no less), and Cruise supposedly paid for Pecoraro to attend Scientology courses at the Hollywood Celebrity Centre. She currently lives with a boyfriend, but that's no obstacle for the church—an insider says it will do anything to "stabilize the situation quickly," showing that "Tom has rebounded fast and … his new wife is beautiful and steeped in Scientology."

This was not how Tom Cruise expected his life to be. 
  
 The 50-year-old megastar, who was blindsided when his wife of five years, Katie Holmes, filed for divorce on June 28, “was thinking, ‘What did I not see?’ ” a source who knows the former couple tells PEOPLE in this week’s cover story.

 “He’s wanted to see her as fast as possible since this started,” says a source, who cites Cruise’s obligation to his sci-fi thriller Oblivion as the main obstacle. “He couldn’t shut down production, cost people their jobs. People count on him.” 
  
 In agreeing to a divorce settlement in a mere 11 days, “Tom tried his best to do what’s right for Suri,” according to his longtime friend and lawyer Bert Fields, who says the star is “sad” but not “bitter” about the situation. 
  
 Cruise has been leaning on his older children, Connor, 17, and Isabella, 19, his three sisters and his mother – all of whom share his Scientology religion. Several members of his family joined him for support as he filmed his final scenes for Oblivion. 
  
 “Tom is not ashamed of his beliefs,” says the source, who knows the former couple, “and won t hide them from his daughter.”

Nevertheless, it looks like there is radio silence between Tom and Katie. ||||| In never-before-seen photos obtained exclusively by, a doe-eyedposes for her first photo shoot as a chubby-faced teen in her native Ohio. Little did she know her dreams of stardom and marrying her teenage crush — Tom Cruise – would come true just 10 years later. 
  
 That fairytale has famously come to an end after Holmes, 33, rocked Hollywood with the bombshell she was divorcing her Mission: Impossible husband of almost six years. The two reached a divorce settlement less than two weeks later. 
  
 In the wake of the split, Celebuzz visited Holmes’ hometown of Toledo in an attempt to shed some light on how a once care-free, all-American girl became part of one of Hollywood’s most controversial couples. There, Holmes’ school friends broke their age-old silence, telling Celebuzz their thoughts about the famous duo. 
  
 Angela Domschot, a former classmate of Holmes at the $18,000-a-year private Catholic school, Notre Dame Academy, said that Holmes used to pray for Cruise — years before she ever met him. 
  
 “In religion class, when we were about 16, we would have to say prayers to keep a certain someone safe and out of harm,” she said. “Katie would say it for Tom Cruise. We did that every day, so she would have said thousands of prayers for him. 
  
 “She also had a secret picture of him hidden in the inside of her text books. It’s crazy to think she married him – it was her dream come true.” 
  
 Similarly, Kari Somo, 32, another old school friend, also remembers Holmes’ affinity for Cruise. 
  
 “Tom Cruise was always her crush at school, who she wanted to marry and end up with,” she said. 
  
 But seeing their old friend getting involved with Scientology was bizarre, according to Domschot. 
  
 “We were all shocked when she turned to Scientology, but when you’re besotted with someone, I guess you’ll do what they want,” she said. “Her dream came true… she got her fairytale ending, I guess.” 
  
 Aside from her unusual focus on Cruise, Holmes – who aspired to be an actress from a young age – is remembered for other things. 
  
 She was well-liked and loved to act, said Domschot, as can be seen in these never-before-seen photos of the budding starlet, above. As the pictures reveal, Holmes was very involved in school, be it clowning around in plays, dressing in wacky costumes or looking angelic and studious in her yearbook photos. 
  
 “Katie was popular at school but nice to everyone,” Domschot, now a Toledo police officer, said. “She was a very good person… athletic, really into the school plays, very hard-working. She was really nice and outgoing. Really smart – in all subjects – but not arrogant with it.” 
  
 That isn’t all. Said Domschot: “Katie had a rebel side too — she knew how to let loose. She’d get into food fights at school.” 
  
 And Somo recalls a particularly festive Holmes. “I remember her having the craziest Halloween costumes,” she said. “She once dressed up as Richard Simmons and David Letterman! 
  
 Her dating life, meanwhile, wasn’t as exciting. 
  
 “I don’t think she dated in high school,” said Somo. “Her parents were super-strict and Catholic, so it may have been hard.” 
  
 Holmes and Cruise managed to avoid their dream turning into a total nightmare on June 9, when they came to a quick divorce settlement — and agreed on how custody of their six-year-old daughter Suri will be shared. 
  
 Details of the divorce remain confidential, and the pair released a joint statement indicating they intend to keep it that way. 
  
 Said the two: “We want to keep matters affecting our family private and express our respect for each other’s commitment to each of our respective beliefs and support each other’s roles as parents.”

 In the wake of Katie Holmes‘ split from hubby Tom Cruise, speculation is building as to who will be the next Mrs. Tom Cruise, and it just might be Yolanda Pecoraro. 
  
 Experts predict the 27-year-old Latin beauty will be the perfect match for the Mission: Impossible star because she’s a devout Scientologist — and the two dated in the past! 
  
 “Tom’s next marriage will be inside the church,” Scientology expert Margery Wakefield told the National Enquirer.

 A former member of the church told the Enquirer that Yolanda is a “Scientology princess, perfect for Tom,” both her parents were members and that she’s been taking Scientology courses since she was just 13 years old. 
  
 Yolanda lives in a modest Silver Lake, Calif. apartment and told the Enquirer, “Yes, I knew and still know Tom Cruise. And no, I’m not married or engaged.” 
  
 Andrew Morton‘s unauthorized Tom tell-all, Tom Cruise: An Unauthorized Biography claims that Yolanda and Tom met at the opening of a new Scientology center opening in Spain in 2004 and that he fell head over heels for her.

 In fact, there’s even a photo of Scientology head David Miscavige, David and Victoria Beckham, and Tom and Yolanda all together at a Madrid soccer game just one month later. 
  
 One source goes so far as to tell the Enquirer that Tom has paid for Yolanda to attend expensive Scientology courses at the Celebrity Centre in Hollywood! 
  
 And even though Yolanda lives with a boyfriend, also a Scientologist, an insider claims the church will do whatever it takes to provide damage control to the very public divorce between Tom and Katie.

 “With the embarrassment his divorce has caused the church, they want to stabilize the situation quickly,” the source said. 
  
 “They also want to show that Tom has rebounded fast and that his new wife is beautiful and steeped in Scientology. If the church decides to make Yolanda Tom’s next wife, they’d certainly want her to have a child soon. So she could quickly be going from her modest apartment to a mansion in Beverly Hills with a baby on the way. And there’s little doubt she’d do what’s best for the church.”

"Toms nästa äktenskap kommer att vara inne i kyrkan", säger en expert. Den främsta utmanaren är Yolanda Pecoraro, 27, som Radar omnämner som en "latinsk skönhet". En före detta scientolog kallar henne en "scientologiprinsessa", konstaterar att hon uppfostrades i kyrkan, och ryktet säger att hon till och med dejtade Tom redan 2004 – det finns åtminstone ett foto av dem tillsammans (med Beckhams, inte mindre), och Cruise betalade för att Pecoraro skulle gå Scientologikurser på Hollywood Celebrity Centre. Hon bor för närvarande med en pojkvän, men det är inget hinder för kyrkan – en insider säger att den kommer att göra vad som helst för att "stabilisera situationen snabbt", vilket visar att "Tom har återhämtat sig snabbt och ... hans nya fru är vacker och full av Scientologi."

Det var inte så här Tom Cruise förväntade sig sitt liv. Den 50-årige megastjärnan, som blev blind när hans fru på fem år, Katie Holmes, ansökte om skilsmässa den 28 juni, ” tänkte: ’Vad såg jag inte?’ ”, en källa som känner det tidigare paret berättar för MÄNNISKOR i veckans omslagshistoria. Särskilt tuff: Hans månadslånga separation från 6-åriga dottern Suri, som slutligen tog slut när paret återförenades den 17 juli i New York. Varför tog det så lång tid? FOTO: The Holmes-Cruise Family in Happier Times “Han har velat se henne så snabbt som möjligt sedan detta började”, säger en källa, som citerar Cruises skyldighet till sin sci-fi thriller Oblivion som det främsta hindret. – Han kunde inte stänga ner produktionen, det kostade folk deras jobb. Folk räknar med honom. När han gick med på en skilsmässa uppgörelse på bara 11 dagar, “Tom gjorde sitt bästa för att göra vad som är rätt för Suri,” enligt hans långvariga vän och advokat Bert Fields, som säger stjärnan är “sad” men inte “bittra” om situationen. Cruise har lutat sig mot sina äldre barn, Connor, 17, och Isabella, 19, hans tre systrar och hans mor – som alla delar hans scientologireligion. Flera medlemmar av hans familj anslöt sig till honom för stöd då han filmade sina slutscener för Oblivion. “Tom skäms inte för sin tro,” säger källan, som känner det tidigare paret, “och kommer inte att dölja dem för sin dotter.” För mycket mer på denna historia, inklusive detaljer om Toms betrodda inre cirkel, hur han klarar av och Holmes nya liv, plocka upp det nya numret av människor, på tidningsstånd Fredag Tom & Katies 1: a året av äktenskap <unk> <unk> Tom Cruise återförenas med Suri exklusiva detaljer Vi får veta att Tom tar Suri till Chelsea Piers senare idag för sin gymnastik lektion.

Det verkar ändå som om det råder radiotystnad mellan Tom och Katie. I aldrig tidigare skådade bilder som uteslutande erhållits av, en doe-eyedposes för hennes första fotografering som en knubbig ansikte tonåring i hennes hemland Ohio. Föga anade hon att hennes drömmar om stjärnstatus och att gifta sig med sin tonårsförälskelse — Tom Cruise — skulle bli verklighet bara 10 år senare. Den sagan har ryktbart kommit till ett slut efter Holmes, 33, vaggade Hollywood med det bombskal hon skilde sig från sitt uppdrag: Omöjligt make på nästan sex år. De två nådde en skilsmässouppgörelse mindre än två veckor senare. I splittringens kölvatten besökte Celebuzz Holmes hemstad Toledo i ett försök att kasta lite ljus över hur en en gång bekymmerslös, allamerikansk flicka blev en del av ett av Hollywoods mest kontroversiella par. Där bröt Holmes skolkamrater sin urgamla tystnad, i det de berättade för Celebuzz sina tankar om den berömda duon. Angela Domschot, en före detta klasskamrat till Holmes vid den 18 000 dollar om året privata katolska skolan, Notre Dame Academy, sade att Holmes brukade be för Cruise — år innan hon någonsin träffat honom. — I religionsklassen, när vi var omkring 16 år, skulle vi behöva be böner för att hålla en viss person säker och utom all fara, sade hon. — Katie skulle säga det för Tom Cruise. Vi gjorde det varje dag, så hon skulle ha bett tusentals böner för honom. — Hon hade också en hemlig bild av honom gömd i insidan av sina läroböcker. Det är galet att tro att hon gifte sig med honom – det var hennes dröm som gick i uppfyllelse.” På samma sätt minns Kari Somo, 32, en annan gammal skolvän, också Holmes affinitet till Cruise. — Tom Cruise var alltid hennes förälskelse i skolan, som hon ville gifta sig med och sluta med, sade hon. Men att se sin gamle vän bli involverad i Scientologin var bisarrt, enligt Domschot. — Vi blev alla chockade, när hon vände sig till Scientologin, men när man blir besotad med någon, så antar jag, att man gör vad de vill, sade hon. — Hennes dröm gick i uppfyllelse... hon fick sitt sagoslut, antar jag. Bortsett från hennes ovanliga fokus på Cruise, är Holmes – som strävade efter att bli skådespelerska från ung ålder – ihågkommen för annat. Hon var omtyckt och älskade att agera, sade Domschot, vilket syns i dessa aldrig tidigare sedda bilder av den spirande stjärnan, ovan. Som bilderna avslöjar var Holmes mycket engagerad i skolan, vare sig det var clowner runt i pjäser, klädde sig i knäppa kostymer eller såg ängla- och studious i sina årsboksfoton. — Katie var populär i skolan men trevlig mot alla, sade Domschot, nu polis i Toledo. "Hon var en mycket bra person ... atletisk, verkligen i skolan pjäser, mycket hårt arbetande. Hon var riktigt trevlig och utåtriktad. Riktigt smart – i alla ämnen – men inte arrogant med det.” Det är inte allt. Domschot sade: ” Katie hade också en rebellisk sida — hon visste hur hon skulle släppa lös. Hon skulle hamna i mat slagsmål i skolan. "Och Somo minns en särskilt festlig Holmes. — Jag minns att hon hade de galnaste halloweendräkterna, sade hon. — Hon klädde en gång ut sig till Richard Simmons och David Letterman! Hennes sällskapande var inte lika spännande. — Jag tror inte, att hon dejtade i gymnasiet, sade Somo. "Hennes föräldrar var super-strikt och katolsk, så det kan ha varit svårt." Holmes och Cruise lyckades undvika att deras dröm förvandlas till en total mardröm den 9 juni, när de kom till en snabb skilsmässouppgörelse — och kom överens om hur vårdnaden av sin sexåriga dotter Suri kommer att delas. Detaljer om skilsmässan förblir konfidentiella, och paret släppte ett gemensamt uttalande som visar att de tänker behålla det så. Sag de två: “Vi vill hålla saker som påverkar vår familj privat och uttrycka vår respekt för varandras engagemang för var och en av våra respektive tro och stödja varandras roller som föräldrar.” Celebuzz Single Player No Autoplay (CORE) Inga förändringar kommer att göras för denna spelare “”Tom Cruise & Suri Daddy Chauffeur Reporting for Duty Breaking News såg precis ut som alla andra pappa -- som är världsberömd och bevakas av dussintals paparazzi -- som han tog sin dotter till gymnastik ögonblick sedan i NYC.hade hennes huvud begravd i Toms axel när de lämnade Greenwich Hotel, och gick igenom en gatlett av foton och fans för att komma till sin SUV.Cameras var också väntar när de kom några minuter senare till Chelsea Piers för Suris gymnastik klass.Fader och dotter hade en hel dag QT för att fånga upp på hans hotell rum.

PHOTOS: Tom Cruise Reunites With Suri In NYC A former member of the church told Enquirer that Yolanda is a “Scientology Princess, perfect for Tom”, both her parents were members and that she has taken Scientology courses since she was just 13 years old. Living in a modest Silver Lake, Calif. apartment, Yolanda told Enquirer, “Yes, I knew and still know Tom Cruise. And no, I'm not married or engaged." Andrew Morton's unauthorized Tom tell-all, Tom Cruise: An unauthorized biography claims that Yolanda and Tom met at the opening of a new Scientology center opening in Spain in 2004 and that he fell over heels for her.

One source goes so far as to tell Enquirer that Tom has paid for Yolanda to take expensive Scientology courses at the Celebrity Centre in Hollywood! And although Yolanda lives with a boyfriend, also a Scientologist, an insider claims that the church will do whatever it takes to give damage control to the very public divorce between Tom and Katie. PHOTOS: Sad Suri Cruise steps out with Mom Katie Holmes “With the embarrassment his divorce has caused the church, they want to stabilize the situation quickly,” said the source. — They also want to show that Tom has recovered quickly and that his new wife is beautiful and pierced in Scientology. If the church decides to make Yolanda Tom's next wife, they would surely want her soon to have a child. So she could quickly walk from her modest apartment to a manor house in Beverly Hills with a child on her way. And there's no doubt that she would do what's best for the church.
