Cruise plays down 'placenta plan'
Hollywood actor Tom Cruise has played down reports that he plans to eat the placenta of his new baby.

The War of the Worlds star was quoted in GQ magazine saying he thought the placenta and umbilical cord would be "very nutritious".

But in a subsequent interview with Diane Sawyer on US television, he made light of the comments.

"Yeah, we're going to do that - a whole family thing. Isn't that normal and natural? No, we're not eating it."

The 43-year-old star - currently promoting his new film Mission Impossible III - is expecting a child with his fiancee, actress Katie Holmes.

The couple, who have been engaged since June 2005, plan to marry in late summer or early autumn, according to Cruise.

The baby will be the first for Holmes, while Cruise has two adopted children from his marriage to Nicole Kidman.

He said earlier this month that their baby was due "any day now".

'Silent birth'

In his conversation with Sawyer on ABC's Primetime show, Cruise said that Catholic-born Holmes has already joined him as a follower of the Church of Scientology.

It followed comments made to GQ in which he defended the religion's doctrine that childbirth should be completed in silence

"It's really about respecting the woman," he told Sawyer. "It's not about her not screaming."

Cruise also claimed he knew Holmes, 27, was pregnant even before she told him.

Tom Cruise is bat-shit crazy, but it's obvious he was just joking in this case as the article above says.

"a whole family thing"...knife and fork anyone? 

[Sterlingdog]

I know someone who had hers in her freezer.  She always planned on burying it somewhere and planting a tree over it, but since she didn't own a house, she didn't want to plant it and then move.  She probably is still carting that thing around.  And her kid is 15. 

[Kaybee]

Katie Holmes had her baby earlier today apparently. It was a girl they named Suri.

I know someone who had hers in her freezer.? She always planned on burying it somewhere and planting a tree over it, but since she didn't own a house, she didn't want to plant it and then move.? She probably is still carting that thing around.? And her kid is 15.?

Yeah, I know a few people who have done that.  When my first son was born, the doctor asked me if I wanted it and I said "why in the hell would I want that?" 

[Danny Top Hat]

you mean by saying something that has been taken out of context to make it sound like he is a weird guy is designed to get more publicity for his movie?...

He took the interview to gain publicity, which will have an effect on ticket sales whether you like it or not.  Cruise knows that he just needs to say something out of the ordinary - anything - and it will keep the papers talking about him.  Sure the papers took it out of context like they always do but that's something i'm sure Cruise can deal with.  At the end of the day all publicity is good publicity.

Fuck, I hate celebrity gossip.

what do :

spielberg, hanks, cruise, travolta, sting ( probably), elton ( probably), beckhams ( too close to cruise not to be), late princess diana ( almost all these mentionned came to her funeral and were not " close" or REAL" friends" so probability is high) and god knows who else ?

SCIENTOLOGY

who is ready to lick asses in order to succeed ?

Cruise licked mimi roger's ass, she got him into scientology.
He was ambitious, he succeeded.
he is all BUT crazy.( my opinion)

some have sex to succeed, some go into scientology, who's right, who's wrong ?

Is anyone wrong ? or right ?

[Jessica]

OH  BTW :

the above is NOT MY opinion.

I'm just stating some obviouses.

and if you were ambitious, there is the question :

what would YOU do ?

[anythinggoes]

hmmm yummy



that really does not appeal to me i think id

enjoy your dinners people 

[Jessica]

no worse than haggis.

PS :

if you have multiple slerosis; you can thank dead foetuse's cells.

[RichardNixon]

Spielberg and  Hanks are into that freakish cult? I thought they would know better than that.

[Where is Hassan Nasrallah ?]

have you seen spielberg movies ? ! ? !! he gotta be stupid

[Mr. Dick Purple]

Wasn't spielberg jew? 

[Sterlingdog]

Wasn't spielberg jew? 

Yes, he's jewish and he's not a scientologist.  I don't know about Hanks, but I doubt he is.  I'll try to look it up.  Travolta is for sure, but I think he's pretty stupid and probably easily led. 

[Jim]

have you seen spielberg movies ? ! ? !! he gotta be stupid

Of all your absurd movie sentiments, that is by far the most clueless.


(Oh, and neither are the Beckham's... Scientologists, that is. Surely they're not?)

[Sterlingdog]

Tom Hanks is Christian. 

Not that the religion thing should matter, if the person is a good actor, who cares what religion they are?  But I don't consider Scientology a religion, so I have to admit have certain prejudices against those who belong to that cult.

Driving to downtown Clearwater en route to the beach reminded me of SLC. As I drove past the Church of Scientology and saw them all mulling about with their jackets on..........
