Katie Holmes has decided to fire her publicist Leslie Sloane-Zelnick, after a nine-year collaboration. The Hollywood star, who has recently revealed she is pregnant, hired her fiancé's sister as her new spokesperson.
The BATMAN BEGINS actress has parted ways with her management company, agents and now Sloane-Zelnick, after she got involved with Tom Cruise, six months ago. Holmes has adopted Cruise's Scientologist beliefs and declared she wants to change her last name after their wedding.
The future Mrs Cruise thinks that her fellow Scientologist and future sister-in-law Lee Anne DeVette will better represent her interest.
DeVette also became Cruise's spokesperson last year, after he left his longtime publicist Pat Kingsley.
Meanwhile, Sloane-Zelnick tells the New York Daily News: "We were with her for nine years. We wish her the best. She has chosen to work with her future sister-in-law.
We wish her well, and congratulate her on her happy news."
