Yeppers, just wandered into this story from another blog, so it's not as if I did a search on Fox News itself. Now, because it is a celebrity story rather than a politics one, I can somehow stomach it LOL. Katie Holmes was not seen in public for sixteen days in April, until the huggy kissy thing with Tom Cruise started. Hmm, and she had been dating Josh Hartnett - now, I know Tom is the biggest movie star in the world, but, speaking as a straight guy, Josh is hotter LOL - even though he has made some terrible movies (Pearl Harbor first and foremost in my mind - he was good in Black Hawk Down).
Along with ditching her manager and sounds like cutting ties with some old friends (although that is only gossip as well, and old friends often part ways over new beaus, although not usually as quickly as two weeks) - any bets on the possibility that Katie has been converted to Scientology? Any further bets on how far this engagement will go after War of the Worlds is released?
Oh, and another thing that I forgot to mention in my earlier Oprah versus Paris story (Paris France, not Paris Hilton), was the fact that she has taken it as a racial slight rather than an 'I was late to the store' misunderstanding. I didn't mention it because I thought it was obviously stupid to even complain about the issue, let alone bring the whole race card into it.
Very funny blog post about the whole issue - under the blog title 'Oprah's Crusade' - isn't Technorati grand? And really, if 'Queen O' does do a show on the issue when the season starts again, who is she reaching out to for understanding? Fellow black billionaires who travel to France for the summer, let alone go to Hermes LOL? Maybe she will try to get pleb understanding by giving away luxury goods from an A-OK USA luxury firm to the studio audience or something - lol, or organise a picket outside Hermes stores :)
Oh, and Cruise has gone head to head with the presenter of the USA Today show about what Brooke Shields should do instead of taking anti-depressants. Saying he's an expert on psychiatry (Tom Cruise that is). OK, when it was just a fake publicity marriage on the go, it didn't impact my enjoyment of the classics (such as Top Gun, Jerry Maguire, A Few Good Men etc). But the more Cruise is in the spotlight this month, the less I am liking him, and it may even start impacting on my movie tastes - though probably not in time to give War of the Worlds a miss. All I am thinking for Tom at the moment is shut the hell up LOL.
Is anyone else thinking that this whole Tom Cruise thing could become a Michael Jackson like train wreck of a story in the coming months? Of course, not as worrying as allegations of child sex abuse (am NOT going to give in to the temptation for a Katie Holmes joke there), but still, the train is speeding, and just one little bump could cause a derailment...
And of course, this flood of 'celebrity' news filters the general public's access to REAL stories - like the whole Iraq mess, the fact that oil shot up over $60 a barrel yesterday, the situation in Zimbabwe, and what the Prez will say in his TV speech on Tuesday (to name just three stories - the fourth, Iraq, is taken as a given). Maybe Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes and Oprah and hell, even Michael Jackson, have been hired by the Administration to keep a foil on the real news LOL - hey, it is just as valid as some Hollywood plots :)
Think this weekend my movie choice will be Assassination of Richard Nixon. Am NOT going to go see the new releases of Herbie Fully Loaded (Lindsday Lohan is still jail bait Pauly, despite whatever her surgeons have done to her frontage LOL - Matt Dillon in it means it may be a DVD rental) or Sisterhood Of Travelling Pants, or that Oscar Wilde adaptation. Have left it too late to catch Kingdom of Heaven on the big screen.
Later peeps
