Katie Holmes is Actually Going Back to Work?!?

Tom Cruise has let his little pet out to actually work...a JOB! I know, pretty shocking. Katie Holmes has signed on to star in Mad Money opposite Queen Latifah and Diane Keaton. The film is based on the British movie Hot Money about three female employees of the Federal Reserve that plot to steal a load of cash that's about to be destroyed. Filming will begin shortly in Shreveport, La.

Mad Money will mark Katie's return after "giving birth" to Suri Cruise. Katie has chosen not to return to her role in Batman and has dropped out of The Dark Knight. The Christopher Nolan directed sequel hits screens next year and stars Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Michael Caine and Gary Oldman.

So...she's choosing to do some cheesy comedy instead of a guaranteed money maker? Yeah, that's the work of the Cruise.
