katie holmes to quit hollywood for law school

The internet is rife with rumours that the actress has enrolled at a law school.

Katie's friend allegedly told the National Enquirer that she's sick of her job and wants to be a better role model to her six-year-old daughter Suri.

It's also thought she wants to escape the spotlight cast on her in the fallout of her marriage split from Tom Cruise.

This isn't the first time Katie, 34, has considered a different profession – in the '90s she applied to New York's Columbia University.

She was accepted but deferred her enrolment after landing a lead role in TV show Dawson's Creek.

If the reports prove true, Katie will have a head start on her peers at law school – her father, Martin, is an attorney who runs his own firm.

Bet he thought his days of helping his daughter with her homework were long gone...
