Katie Holmes Temporarily Released by Xenu to Visit the Grove

In a rare moment of freedom for actress Katie Holmes, Xenu the Dictator of the Galactic Confederacy apparently released the Thank You For Smoking star so that she could visit the Grove to get her Christmas on.

But don't fear for Katie's "safety" -- we spied suspected Scientologist soldiers standing by with Mark Super VII Quantum E-meters and Sea Org spaceships hovering overhead ... just in case Katie gets out of hand and has too much fun.
