I rarely comment on celebrity gossip. It's just a bunch of actors and actresses who marry and divorce each other in circles over and over again. But in light of nothing else being in the news, except the same old stuff, of course, I have something to say about Tom Cruise.
He's starring in a movie that comes out next Wednesday that I'm really looking forward to seeing, and, of course, he won't stay out of the news in the weeks leading up to the opening of War of the Worlds.
First, there's the whole deal with Katie Holmes, whom he's marrying after only a couple months of dating, getting engaged just in time to help promote his movie. But it's his third marriage... who cares about that hollywood cycle?
Second, there's this new deal about a prankster who gave Tom a supposed microphone at an interview that actually squirted water in his face! Humorous, no? Not to Tom. He got mad, yelled, "You're a jerk!" and now apparently he's going to take action.
I think he's overreacting just a little bit. Couldn't he just laugh and say, ha ha? Nope. He has to threaten a lawsuit. I'm not chanting conspiracy or anything, but it's only too convenient that his name keeps appearing in the paper, always accompanied, of course, by the appositive "the star of the new movie War of the Worlds."
Too bad I'm not that gullible. Imagined conspiracies are so fun...
SPIELBERG: Sorry, Tom, we're short on the marketing budget for the movie. You're gonna have to do stuff to stay in the news.
CRUISE: Um... OK, Steve.
SPIELBERG: First, find a girl. Fall madly in love with her and ask her to marry you. You can do that in two months, can't you?
CRUISE: Look at my face...
SPIELBERG: Good point. But the love angle isn't enough. The media thrives on controversy. Just watch them attack Bush. So, if anyone does anything even slightly mean to you, be sure to overreact. That'll get you some good publicity.
CRUISE: All right, boss. Thanks!
SPIELBERG: See you later.
But I'll still go see this movie, overreacting actor and overeager media and all.

lol that was wonderfully random ;)
maybe YOU'RE doing a conspiracy to make us believe there's a conspiracy...oh what a tangled web we weave... ;) -Sanguine
I would have to agree with you...I think if he is not named in the news once a week he thinks he might fade away and no one would notice
