Katie gets back to work

Katie Holmes is settling in nicely in Shreveport, Louisiana, where she is scheduled to begin filming Mad Money today. Holmes dropped in to Target on Friday afternoon, and told a local paper, "I met some really great people, and it was nice. They did recognize me, and it was a pleasure meeting them. We had nice chats about kids, and it was lovely." In an group interview about her new film, Holmes told the paper, "I'm pumped. I loved it from the second I read it. I love interesting female characters, and this is full of them... She's funny, she's smart and just a little bit misunderstood," Mrs. Cruise said of her character. "She's involved in this crime, but she's sort of delighted to just be a part of something and have girlfriends for the first time. She's a type of person who creates a happier environment than she's actually in... I like that about her. She's a free spirit." Holmes will be joined in Shreveport by her husband Tom Cruise and daughter Suri (who turns one later this week). "It's another project we're going to handle together, and that's part of the fun," the Dawson's Creek alum said.
