Has Tom Cruise's Wife Found Her Exit Strategy?

You knew it wouldn’t last.
The Tom Cruise-Katie Holmes match-up was a sham all along.
Or, so lots of people thought, and many media outlets insinuated.
It’s been assumed in some corners that the leading man of more blockbuster movies than we can count has been crushing poor Katie under his manicured thumb for several child-producing years; allowing her to work in equal measure to her adherence to his Scientologist peccadilloes.
Well, now, words gotten out that Ms. Holmes (*interesting that she didn’t take his “name”, no?) has found stimulation outside the home. She’s reportedly pairing with the obscure designer Jeanne Yang to launch a fashion line called Holmes & Yang that will reach a select number of boutiques by Autumn 2009. A children’s line that fixates on the styles worn by the Cruise and Holmes’ daughter Suri is planned as well.
Sounds like Katie’s desperate for a distraction from the day-to-day; her forays into acting and spokes modeling aside.
Why bother with the fickle rag trade when all the best labels on the planet lob clothes your way anyway? Is Tom losing his grip on the arrangement with Katie? Or is Ms. Holmes setting herself up for a fall?
*Katie Cruise wouldn’t have been a bad “stage” name, though, would it?
