Published: 28 Jul 2009
KATIE HOLMES had a narrow escape yesterday when a car she was sitting in for a movie scene nearly caught fire.
Black smoke started seeping from the BMW's bonnet moments after Katie, 30, was filmed in it.
The crew on horror flick Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark rushed into action and removed a smouldering battery.
Katie and husband TOM CRUISE's baby SURI, two, were by that time in her trailer on location near Melbourne, Australia. An insider said: "It's dreadful to think how serious it could have been."

Wait, the car she was no longer in almost caught fire but then it didn't? You mean she would have had to see smoke from her trailer... but then nothing happened?
some moron said:
"It's dreadful to think how serious it could have been [had something actually happened]."
Wow. I shudder to think.
In other news, a street that Jennifer Lopez once crossed was nearly the scene of a horrific accident early this morning. The dreadful carnage was narrowly avoided when both cars, which were on a certain collision course with each other, stopped uneventfully at the intersection's stop sign, then proceeded safely in turn.
Ms. Lopez' spokesperson was unavailable for comment at press time.
Sounds like her film is a documentary for Scientology.
I am relieved that she narrowly avoided tragedy in a car that nearly caught fire.
OH MY GOD! On my way into work this morning I am certain there was tens of thousands of explosions under my hood... I COULD HAVE DIED! Imagine if just one of those little combustion reactions had escaped!
We should outlaw cars.
Really it would be for the kids.
Outlaw kids.... it would be for the cars.
Of course, if it had actually caught fire she would have to remember to open the door and get out to avoid tragedy.
Close call!
all cars should be like beat up 80s jeeps...doorless...and topless
fo dem kiddies of course

I stand at the ready to be the next man to disappoint her terribly.
Wow my daily commute is like a Michael Bay movie compared to this...I guess I should find an agent...
I had a similar reaction a year or two back when a boy scout troop got a little crossed up and had to spend an extra night in the woods. In the morning they found a road and flagged someone down.
All the stories were talking about how the group had been "rescued" and "saved" and whatnaught.
Whatever...they did exactly what they were supposed to do. They were never in anything remotely resembling danger. And someone gets credit for "saving" them...WTF?

Isn't that called "camping?"
.
Coudn'of been an E30, obviously...
Although I'm sure we all would be volunteering to take Katie into custody and comfort her, etc., etc.,
It is very sad when the press has to invent a story, anything to get a celebrity onto the front page.

Not until they snap anyway
Ain't THAT the truth.
Celebrity worship amazes and saddens me. Case in point: Michael Jackson. 'Nuff said.
Ya think with this recent brush with death that Tom Cruise will rethink his Scientology affiliation like John Trivolta?
Enquiring minds want to know.
