Apparently converting to the religious cult Church of Scientology doesn’t preclude one from shopping ’til one drops.
According to sources, Katie Holmes’ credit card statement reveals that she racked up $200,000 worth of clothes at the Barneys New York store alone in ’06.
She frequently hits up the Beverly Hills location – but until now, no one knew just how frequently. We knew she had expensive taste – who drops $340 on a thong – but this is preposterous.
Holmes, who shopped for shoes there last January, spent $400 on two pairs of jeans in April, and was spotted leaving with five bags’ worth of baby clothes for daughter Suri Cruise in November.
Who has the time and money for all that shopping? People married to Tom Cruise. Holmes often asks the store to stay open just for her after closing.
“She walks around with a personal shopper and points at what she wants,” the source says. “She orders different colors and a few of each. She’s their favorite customer!”
Holmes’ publicist denies the special treatment, while a Barneys rep says, “We never have been asked to open a store for Katie Holmes after closing hours.”
Sure thing. Next we’re going to hear that Suri isn’t Asian.
