Katie Holmes has passionate conversation on her phone... after ex Tom Cruise is seen holding hands with Ana de Armas
The 46-year-old Batman Begins actress was dressed for the dog days of summer as she had on a wrinkled linen summer dress with spaghetti straps over a skimpy tank top.
The dress had a floral print top and light beige bottom with a slit up the side. The tank top was a blue-and-purple color.
The mother to Suri Cruise made the look a bit retro with blood red velvet Mary Jane shoes and a red-white-and-black floral print tapestry purse that could have fit in well in the 1800s.
The brunette wore her hair down with a gold ring and necklace on.
This sighting comes after her ex-husband Tom Cruise was seen holding hands with his new girlfriend, Ballerina actress Ana de Armas, in Vermont last week.

Holmes has been working this summer as she reunited with Dawson's Creek co-star Joshua Jackson for a new film trilogy.
The actress will write, direct and star in Happy Hours opposite Jackson for their first on-screen project together in over two decades.
As reported by Deadline, Holmes and Jackson, 47, will take the lead with filming in New York City this summer; work on the next two instalments is expected to continue shortly after.
The film will follow two people attempting to navigate their relationship as they tried to balance family life and careers with 'the pursuit of love'.
It's described as a 'character-driven dramedy', with young loves reconnecting as adults.
Other cast members attached to the project include Mary-Louise Parker, Constance Wu, Joe Tippett, John McGinty, Donald Webber Jr, Nathan Darrow, Johnna Dias-Watson and Jack Martin.
Holmes has previously directed indie films like Alone Together, Rare Objects and All We Had.
She and Jackson both starred in all six seasons of teen drama series Dawson's Creek.
Holmes wrote on Instagram: 'I am so very grateful to be working again with so many of my wonderful friends on this film HAPPY HOURS.
'And working with Josh after so many years is a testament to friendship.
'HAPPY HOURS is a love story that includes so many people I adore. We can't wait for everyone to see what we make.'
The movie will mark their first time on screen together since Dawson's Creek - which also included the likes of Busy Philipps, Michelle Williams and James Van Der Beek - ended 22 years ago.
Earlier this year, Jackson admitted he and Holmes were still 'very close'.
He told Jesse Tyler Ferguson's Dinner's On Me podcast: 'Katie and I are very close. Busy and Michelle are very, very close.'
Although he admitted the cast of the show don't necessarily get in touch regularly, they're still there for each other.
He added: 'It's not a daily call. Sometimes it's not a weekly or monthly or even a half-yearly call, but when you're together—there's always that, "I know, you know."'
Fans hoping for a Dawson's Creek reboot on the big screen one day will be disappointed though, as Holmes previously dismissed the idea.
Back in 2022, she told Screen Rant: 'We've definitely talked about it over the years, but I feel like that show captured that time period and that time in all of our lives.
'I think it's great that you are nostalgic for it. So am I. But it's like, do we want to see them not at that age? We all decided we don't actually.'

Bizarre link between DJ probed in deadly radio water drinking contest and this year's blockbuster murder trial
A mother-of-three met an extraordinary death after she entered a radio competition to win her children a newly released Nintendo Wii console. The premise of the 2007 contest was simple: drink as much water as you can without going to the bathroom. The last person standing would win the prize. Jennifer Strange, 28, loved listening to Morning Rave on KDND-FM. When she heard about the station's 'Hold Your Wee for a Wii' competition, it sounded fun, if a little silly. Remarkably, she was chosen to take part. The contest began at 6:45am on January 12, 2007, with 17 contestants. They were each given eight-ounce bottles of water to drink every 15 minutes, with the amount increasing over time. Strange, who drank almost two gallons, began complaining of a headache and stomach pains. But the hosts, Adam Cox, Steve Maney, and Patricia Sweet, joked about her condition, with one remarking that her swollen stomach made her look pregnant. Jennifer finished second and went home with concert tickets as consolation. She called in sick to work, saying she was in severe pain, but within hours she was dead. Her death sparked a national scandal, leading to a criminal investigation and a multi-million-dollar settlement. However Cox's involvement in the Strange case wouldn't be his last brush with controversy. Years later, his name would be tied to another shocking case: his sister, Lori Vallow, was convicted of killing her children in a saga that horrified the nation. Cox wrote about the tragedy involving Strange in his self-published memoir, My Crazy Radio Life, released in 2019. The former DJ detailed how the idea for the fateful competition came about during a half-hour brainstorming session with his boss and production manager. Despite concerns about safety, the contest was approved by management and the station's legal team to take place at their Sacramento studio. During the live broadcast, Jennifer repeatedly voiced her discomfort. 'My head hurts. They keep telling me that it's the water... that it will tell my head to hurt and it'll make me puke,' she said at one stage. Cox joked: 'Who told you that, the intern?' To which Sweet chimed in: 'Somebody that wants you to lose.' At one point, Sweet asked if it was possible to die from water poisoning. 'Your body is 98 percent water. Why can't you take in as much water as you want?' replied Cox. Sweet laughed: 'Maybe we should've researched this before.' Several listeners called in to warn the hosts of the risks, including a nurse who mentioned the potential for fatal consequences. 'Yeah we're aware of that,' said Cox, with fellow host Maney adding that participants had signed safety waivers so 'we're not responsible'. 'And if they get to the point where they have to throw up, then they're going to throw up and they're out of the contest before they die. So that's good, right?' continued Cox. In another exchange, Strange told Cox she was feeling lightheaded and unsure what was wrong. 'This is what it feels like when you're drowning. There's a lot of water inside you,' said Cox. 'Oh, it hurts,' Strange replied. Cox later wrote that the tone of Morning Rave was 'playful… sometimes even sarcastic', and, despite the concerns of callers, he and the other hosts were powerless to stop the contest. When Strange finally bowed out after three hours, accepting Justin Timberlake tickets as second-place consolation, she told Maney, 'I don't think I'm ready to go home yet.' But she drove herself home, calling in sick to work on the way. Her colleague, Laura Rios, told NBC that Strange said her head was 'hurting her real bad'. 'She was crying and that was the last that anyone had heard from her.' In his memoir, Cox said he was alerted to Strange's death in a phone call from his boss. 'I picked up the phone groggily said: 'Hello.' Then I was about to hear words that had a catastrophic impact on my life, which will forever be engraved in my mind and soul. My boss said, 'One of the contestants from the contest died today,"' Cox wrote. 'I couldn't understand why or how that could've happened. I started crying thinking about her, one of our loyal listeners, a mom just trying to win a Wii for for her kids. 'Thinking about that hit me like a ton of bricks.' Cox, Sweet, Maney, and several colleagues were immediately fired after Strange's death, and Morning Rave was pulled from the air. They were told they were being investigated for possible criminal charges in connection with her death. Cox later appeared on KCRA, claiming he and his colleagues had been unfairly treated. He said news crews had been camping outside his home. 'Our reputations went from riding high on a successful morning show… to the bottom of the barrel. Almost instantly, we were considered lower than the dust of the earth,' wrote Cox in his book. '[A]ny reasonable person should have realized that we as a team were just doing our job as radio entertainers and only did what the management directed.' The Sacramento District Attorney ultimately closed its investigation into Strange's death without filing charges against the station or its employees, including Cox. In 2009, Strange's family was awarded $16.5 million by a California jury in a civil case, which found the station liable for its employees' actions. Entercom, the station's parent company, surrendered KDND-FM's license, and the station went off the air in 2017. For years, Cox struggled to find work. '[N]obody was going to hire a DJ with a reputation as a 'killer.' I was branded with a cruel and false charge," he wrote Eventually, he worked for two other radio stations before becoming a professional pickleball player and coach, leading a life of relative obscurity. That was until his sister, Lori Vallow, was thrust into the spotlight in 2019. Lori's saga began that July when her fourth husband, Charles Vallow, was shot dead by her brother, Alex Cox. Alex claimed he shot Charles in self-defense after Charles attacked him with a baseball bat. But investigators later determined Alex killed Charles at Lori's direction. By this time, Lori was already involved with Chad Daybell, a doomsday author who would become her fifth husband. A series of strange events followed Charles' death. First, Lori's two children, Tylee Ryan, 16, and JJ Vallow, 7, vanished days apart in September. In October, Chad Daybell's wife of 30 years, Tammy, was found dead at home. Lori and Chad then secretly married in Hawaii in early November - but there was no sign of JJ or Tylee at the wedding. Tammy's body was exhumed in December for further testing, as investigators believed her death was suspicious. Days later, Alex Cox was found dead at his home in Arizona. For months, Lori refused to reveal the whereabouts of her children. The case dominated national headlines, with her bizarre religious beliefs and involvement in a doomsday cult taking center stage. In June 2020, a tragic discovery was made at Daybell's home in Rexburg, Idaho: JJ and Tylee's remains were found in shallow graves. JJ was wrapped in garbage bags, and Tylee had been dismembered and burned. Both Lori and Chad were convicted of various charges in connection to the deaths of JJ, Tylee, Tammy, and Charles. At her trial for Charles Vallow's murder in Arizona earlier this year, Lori cross-examined her radio DJ brother, Adam Cox, who had been called as a witness. For almost two minutes, Lori grilled him on the last time they saw each other. '[The last time you saw me] were we eating my green chilli chicken enchiladas?' asked Lori. When Cox said he couldn't recall, an agitated Lori pressed: 'Isn't that what I made every time we had a family get-together, like, 10 times a year?' Cox again couldn't recall the dish. The awkward exchange later became a viral meme among true crime sleuths. He told the court he had 'no doubt' that Lori conspired with his brother Alex to murder Charles Vallow.

The Starburst candy saga that saw mom denied big cash prize but keep winning pack for 15 YEARS has epic ending
A Connecticut grandmother finally got her $10,000 prize from a 15-year-old pack for gold-wrapped Starburst as a very sweet surprise ahead of her 50th birthday. On a scorching hot July afternoon in New Haven, Kiya, 20, and her mother, Nila, 50, dug through a closet looking for their extra air conditioning unit. Sorting through the rarely entered corner of the home, Nila pulled out a small chest of keepsakes. Accompanied by Kiya, one of her sons and her granddaughter, Nila opened the box of memories to reminisce on precious moments from the past. But among the sentimental snapshots and trinkets was a seemingly out-of-place pack of Starbursts. Neatly tucked away in clear plastic wrapping, the weathered candies were ripped into but untouched. And instead of the typical variety of pink, orange, yellow and red wrappers, all of them were covered in gold foil. Everyone raised their eyebrows at the unlikely memento, but for Nila, memories of massive disappointment from over 15 years ago came rushing back. 'I'm never getting rid of this pack of Starbursts - because I'm a winner,' Nila said as her voice cracked, captured in a TikTok Kiya posted on July 8, which garnered tens of millions of views. These Starbursts were part of a 2010 sweepstakes. But when the single mother-of-five went to cash in her prize, it was too late. 'Are you going to eat it?' her granddaughter asked with a smile, lightening the mood as the room burst into laughter. Speaking exclusively to the Daily Mail, Nila later revealed what she recalls from all those years ago. She was grocery shopping at Stop & Shop sometime in 2010 when she reached for a pack of Starbursts. They're her favorite type of candy - especially the pink ones - so she did not think twice as she threw them in her cart without looking at the packaging. When she was ready to indulge in her sweet treat, she realized there was something different about them. 'Find the gold Starburst, you could win $10,000,' was stamped on the wrapper in blue. They were apart of the 'Hunt For Gold' promotion. She tore the wrapper open, revealing gold-wrapped candies. She then dialed the number on the back as her heart raced at the idea she may have won. But then she learned the devastating news that she had missed the deadline. 'They were like "oh, that contest ended" and I was just so sad,' Nila told the Daily Mail. Just like that, one of the most exciting moments of her life turned into one of the biggest let downs. She cried for two days about the prize funds that slipped through her fingers. She decided to tuck them out of sight, but never threw them out. After all, Nila had been a winner. But as the years went on, the Starburst debacle faded into oblivion. She had not thought about it since she packed the candies away. The keepsake box stayed in its hiding place - and if it was not for the early July heatwave, it probably would have still been there. Kiya, who was about five years old when her mother bought the almost-lucky pack, told the Daily Mail this was the first time she heard this jaw-dropping story. Starburst DMed Kiya, letting her know they wanted to help Nila celebrate her 50th birthday 'You know this generation,' Nila joked, 'She pulled out her phone while I'm telling her the story.' In awe of the unexpected anecdote, Kiya uploaded the video, which blew up almost immediately. Along with the attention of nearly 30 million viewers, it also caught the eyes of Starburst. '@starburst she got the gold ones can we still get out 10k?' Kiya wrote. In the meantime, Kiya shot Starburst a DM to make sure they saw her post. On top of that, hordes of viewers brought attention to her situation on the company's page. A few days after she shared the original video, Starburst commented: 'Yes, of course we saw this. Yes, we love it. And yes, we had to talk to Legal. Check your DMs.' Kiya shared those DMs with the Daily Mail. After she explained the situation, the company got back to her with excellent news. 'Although the sweepstakes ended 15 years ago, we know your mom's birthday is coming up and we want to help celebrate - with $10,000 of course,' Starburst wrote. They made a follow-up TikTok breaking the fantastic news, which came just days before Nila's birthday, to those invested in the story that sounds too good to be true. 'I know that without every voice, none of this would have happened,' Nila said in gratitude. Kiya chimed in to say they were not expecting the original video to go viral. She jokingly asked her followers 'Who wants one?' 'We loved getting to be part of this! Cheers to all the golden moments ahead!' the popular brand commented on their update video. While there was an outpour of support and people rallying behind Kiya and Nila, others called them scammers and accused them of lying to secure a quick cash hit. 'Let's just say I turned my phone off for a little while,' Kiya told the Daily Mail. Regardless of what the internet had to say, Nila said this money was a 'miracle', and it came at the perfect time. 'I look at it like a true blessing from Heaven,' she said. A circuit board manufacturer by trade, Nila has been struggling with her health this year and has been on leave from work. 'I was just trying to figure out how I was going to make ends meet. There's just a lot going on in my life at this moment. 'It may not seem like a lot of money for some, but for us it's life-changing.' Nila said she plans to use some of the $10,000 to help her buy an ice cream truck, a business plan she has had in the works for some time. She is also on the brink of publishing a book of poetry. And she has no plans to eat the Starbursts but will save the pack. 'I think they mean even more to her now,' Kiya said.

Superman star Dean Cain is slammed by fellow actor for backing Trump's ICE immigration polices
Dean Cain is criticized by actor John Leguizamo in a scathing post about him joining the ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement). Earlier this week, Superman actor Cain announced that he wanted 'to help save America', and said he'd join ICE 'ASAP' after sharing that he backed Donald Trump 's immigration crackdown - shortly after he revealed the racist slur he was once called after being cast as the superhero. Leguizamo responded to the news by expressing his disapproval with a repost of a meme on X that poked fun at Cain, which included a photo of the Superman star with 'Pronouns: Has/Been' written over his face. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO Mocking Cain, the social media user had written: 'Dean who?' To which Leguizamo added: 'Nuff said!' On the same day, Colombian Leguizamo also shared another photo of Cain in a separate Instagram post, and wrote: 'How big of a loser do you have to be to volunteer to be an ICE OFFICER?' Leguizamo's long been vocal about advocating for immigrants and frequently shared his political beliefs on social media. Last month, he got into a heated exchange with Bill Maher over a complaint about undocumented immigrants from 's***hole countries'. Leguizamo pushed back against Maher during an episode of the comedian's Club Random podcast, and insisted there's 'plenty of room' in America. Cain said he wanted to support Trump's immigration crackdown and lend aid to recruitment efforts. In a video posted on social media on Wednesday, Cain said: 'I am a sworn law enforcement officer, as well as being a filmmaker, and I felt it was important to join with our first responders to help secure the safety of all Americans, not just talk about it. So I joined up.' He also encouraged others to apply for ICE positions and cited a $50,000 signing bonus, student loan repayment, and enhanced retirement benefits for those in law enforcement roles. Cain continued: 'If you want to help save America, ICE is arresting the worst of the worst and removing them from America's streets. They need your help, we need your help, to protect our homeland for families. 'Join today if it's something that tickles your fancy because we can use you.' Cain went on to say that under President Donald Trump, ICE had arrested 'hundreds of thousands of criminals including terrorists, rapists, murderers, pedophiles, MS-13 gang members, drug traffickers'. While ICE did report arrests in those categories, reports showed that many ICE arrests also included people with no criminal record or minor offenses. Cain's announcement was as Homeland Security pushed to recruit more ICE agents. Last week, Homeland Security's Kristi Noem said in a statement: 'Your country is calling you to serve at ICE… Together, we must defend the homeland.'
