Stephen Daldry managed to impregnate his wife and he's gay.Greg wrote:Damien wrote:Keith Olberman and guest Michael Musto all but said the baby can't be Cruise's because he's gay.
I'm surprised that everyone is missing this failry obvious point, that even if Tom Cruise is gay, he could still have fathered a child with Katie Holmes. Straight, gay and bi only refer to people's desires, not their physical capabilities. Everyone's physical capability is bi. Even if Cruise is totally gay, that would just mean that for him having sex with Holmes was all work and no pleasure, and probably not that bad a kind of work at that. After all, Damien, if you had to choose between having sex with a woman and cleaning out septic tanks, wouldn't you choose to have sex with a woman?
The surprising thing about Tom impregnating Katie is that Tom is allegedly infertile. That's why he and Nicole adopted.

I have done the former, Greg, and it's quite nice. (And I do know some gay men who undoubtedly would prefer the latter.)Greg wrote:After all, Damien, if you had to choose between having sex with a woman and cleaning out septic tanks, wouldn't you choose to have sex with a woman?
Tom and Katie always seem so awkward whenever they're together that it's impossible for me to picture them having sex.

So much for Katie Holmes wanting to be a virgin on her wedding night. Was she just stringing Chris Klein along all those years or is the power of Scientology just too much for her?
Even on the hard news, CNN's Aaron Brown couldn't resist a comment about most people getting married and then announcing they're going to have a baby in that order, and then quickly adding "but who are we to judge?" This the first time to my knowledge that a non-married couple has issued a publicity statement saying they were going to having a baby without being coerced by the media in light of rumors or the woman's obvious bulge.
Damien, one of the defining moments of my life was an argument I had with a philosophy professor at Queens College in the early sixties over the issue of original sin. I was so taken back by this guy's refusal to acknowledge he was wrong after my impassioned explanation that I dropped out of college and didn't go back until years later.
I've since seen and heard numerous allegedly well educated people equate original sin with the immaculate conception. I guess it's a Catholic thing, but it drives me nuts every time I hear it.

It was pretty amazing on MSNBC's Countdown. Keith Olberman and guest Michael Musto all but said the baby can't be Cruise's because he's gay. Olberman said that perhaps this was an Immaculate Conception (although, while I know what he's trying to convey, he's confusing virgin birth with the Blessed Mother's being born without original sin) and mentioned the rumor that the actual father is Nicole Kidman. Michael Musto, meanwhile, sardonically said he believes Cruise is the father because he loves fairy tales.

Okay, even if I ignored all the many rumors out there about Cruise...even if everything else that's happened (jumping on the couch, proposing at the Eiffel Tower) didn't have such a ring of falsity about it...
A couple that's just got together and is hopelessly in love wants to be just themselves in love for a while. They don't want to take the next step and turn into a family.
I mean, if these two were TRYING to make people skeptical, they couldn't have planned this better.

In other news, scientists in the Everglades witnessed a fourteen foot long python devour an entire alligator, then explode.
I dunno. The two stories seemed related to me.

I can't believe that Katie Holmes is so desperate for a career that she would either a) have unprotected with some guy, get pregnant and pretend Tom Cruise is the father or b) become impregnated by artificial insemination with Tom Cruise's sperm, sperm that was likely produced while Mr. Cruise was watching some Gus Mattox porn.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes Expecting
Let the couch-jumping begin: Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are expecting a baby. Holmes' pregnancy was reported Wednesday by People magazine. The couple have been dating since April and became engaged in June.
"Tom and Katie are very excited, and the entire family is very excited," Lee Anne DeVette, Cruise's spokeswoman, told People.
It would be Holmes' first child. Cruise has two children, Connor, 10, and Isabella, 12, from his marriage to Nicole Kidman.
No further details were available. Devette added that Holmes, 26, "has never felt better."
Cruise, 43, is now shooting "Mission" Impossible 3."

Two interesting articles on Cruise on today's IMDb items:
Cruise Speared on Cover of New Magazine
Movie star Tom Cruise is bracing for his most savage critical attack yet in a new magazine article about his loyalty to Scientology. A doctored photograph of the actor in his underwear appears on the front cover of US pop and politics magazine Radar with five arrows appearing to pierce his skin, suggesting the article inside, by investigative journalist Kim Masters, will leave him wounded. The controversial piece is headlined, 'Risky Business: the untold story of Scientology's movie-star martyr.' In the accompanying article, Masters speaks to a handful of former Scientologists and business acquaintances of Cruise, who all link the actor's recent passion for the controversial religion to the fact he has risen through the Church to a level just under leaders like his close friend and Scientology chief David Miscavige. One former Scientologist, who worked closely with the religion's celebrity members, claims Cruise is close to becoming a member of the Church's mythical Sea Org level or something similar. She says, "You feel so good, it's like you're high on coke. If you look at him, he has that dedicated glare that Sea Org members have." High-level Scientologists insist the Sea Org level never existed and such claims are ridiculous. The article also suggests Cruise's War Of The Worlds director, Steven Spielberg, was far from happy about the actor's Scientology-heavy interviews and romantic gestures for new girlfriend Katie Holmes at a time when he should have been promoting the summer blockbuster. Producer Marvin Levy coyly remarks, "It (the non-War of The Worlds talk) certainly took some of the emphasis away from where we would have liked it." Levy also tells Masters that Spielberg was upset when he saw Cruise's famous sofa leaping episode on Oprah in May, as he declared his love for Holmes. Masters writes, "When Spielberg later watched Cruise's manic declaration of love, Levy says, he sensed that the film's carefully orchestrated media plan might be slipping off the rails."
Johansson Slams Cruise
Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson is the latest star to slam Tom Cruise's attack on Brooke Shields for using medication to ease postpartum depression. Cruise - who claims to have helped people fight drug addictions through his controversial Scientology religion - sparked a war of words when he criticized Shields in May for using anti-depressant Paxil, following the birth of her daughter Rowan. The Island actress brands the War Of The Worlds star as "ignorant" and insists women should have the right to choose how they treat their body. She says, "I think people have their own right to choose whether or not they want to stop taking a drug. I can go into a very lengthy conversation with anyone about a woman's right to choose and things like that, but I don't believe in forcing my opinion on people. I do believe that, in particular, children are over medicated. But I've also known people who've taken anti-depressants for a couple of months, and it saves them from what could really be a drastic situation. Ruling out something that could legitimately help people seems ignorant."
