Ready for Katie Holmes as Jackie Kennedy?
The story of the Kennedys (including Camelot, "Happy Birthday, Mr. President," Dallas, and a pillbox hat full of secret woes) is getting the epic treatment via an eight-hour miniseries on the History Channel. The Kennedys will star Greg Kinnear as JFK, Barry Pepper as RFK, Tom Wilkinson as Joe Kennedy Sr., and (wait for it) Katie Holmes as Jackie. My reaction to this news sounds just like what? You guessed it: Betty Draper watching Lee Harvey Oswald get shot. [THR]

She should be perfect, she's medicated enough.
I usually love the History Channel (also known as my moving wallpaper), but their recent efforts have emphasized flash over actual history. See World War II HD and the latest, America: The Story of Us, which features curious interviews with noted historians Michael Douglas, Donald Trump, and Aaron Sorkin. Wha?
Those Scientology sessions do add up.
Tom to Katie, "Time for you to earn, bitch!"

I watched a news item regarding this on TV last night. Thanks for putting more meat on the bones
I just signed up to your rss feed after reading this piece! Could you say more regarding the subject in future articles?
While Katie Holmes is gorgeous and can probably look the part, she has the WORST posture of anyone in hollywood -she's got that lanky slouchy posture that works for her roles as Joey and in other TV shows and movies, but will be the biggest thing she has to overcome to pass as Jackie O. I'm sure she will get coached, but it is going to be quite the task.
