Tom and Katie: Is it real?

Lest this fall below the top 3 threads ...

• According to perezhilton.com: Suri = Surrey, which is also a region of England, which is where the "deceased" L. Ron Hubbard's home is located and it is the headquarters of Scientology in the UK. Coincidence?

If they really did all of those crazy middle names too .... oy vey! Someone has to stop him! I'm wondering if Cruise had to promise his first 'naturally' born child to L. Ron in exchange for his fame and fortune.

You've got to be kidding me--they actually named their baby GIRL after the male founder of scientology??? That is SO messed up! Does Katie have no say at all in what happens to this innocent little baby or has she become just as crazy as Tom?

I have to admit, I like the name Suri. And I'm pretty sure the Xenu L. Ronnette part must be a joke.

They're still way weird, though.

No, she is on special vitamins

I think I'd like some of those special vitamins, myself. Of course, I have my special grape juice that helps on those very long days.

(Nikolai, thanks to my husband, calls everything I drink "mommy's wine" and every article of clothing is a "mommy's bra". Can't wait to see what the social worker will think at our one-year follow-up meeting tomorrow. Guess I need to make sure that no one gets a drink of water or anything while she's here.)

So Suri: The Latest on TomKat

It's only been two days since Katie Holmes very, very quietly brought forth the spawn of Tom Cruise, and already the 7-pound, 7-ounce ankle-biter has jumped the couch. Yes, coverage of little Suri has hit saturation point, with details of her momentous debut flying faster than Xenu in a space-plane. Here's the latest on all things TomKitten ...

The easy labor: Holmes is said to have given birth at Saint John's Medical Center in Santa Monica, Calif., in the wee hours of Tuesday morning, with People reporting the delivery was such a breeze that within hours she and Suri were back at Cruise's ultra-secure Beverly Hills, Calif., compound, where many had predicted the birth would take place. According to the New York Post, the "Dianetics"-devoted duo and their soon-to-be-devoted offspring departed the hospital in a black SUV, with two identical SUVs on hand as decoys. The ruse must have worked: The paparazzi, who for months have shadowed Katie's every shopping trip and latte run, failed to get a shot of their hospital trip.

The epidural: Tom apparently wasn't blowing smoke when he told Diane Sawyer that if Katie "needs an epidural, she's gonna get her epidural" (Scientology supposedly discourages the use of drugs during delivery). An insider tells People that she did indeed get one, adding, "Everything is fine, and Katie can relax now."


The noise level in the delivery room: Perhaps the epidural helped Katie keep her cakehole closed as she pushed out little Suri, since she reportedly adhered to the L. Ron Hubbard-approved method of silent birth. "You couldn't hear anything coming from the room," a chatty hospital employee tells the London Daily Mail. "She may have been giving birth, but she was as quiet as a mouse." Adds a mole to the London Sun, "Everybody in the room was told to stay silent and the nurses made hand signals."

This IS in the dabates section (and 13!! pages long) so for the sake of arguement I would like to say:

-If your life was captured under a media microscope how normal do you think you would look??

-Some people want bells and whistles, belts and suspenders birthing at MGH. Others are quite happy in a lowlit room with classical music and a nice warm tub and =quiet=

-Could your religious beliefs possibly be headlined in a way that would sound kooky?? (Conservative jews, for example, believe in covering the head in deference to g-d. Wig wearing is actually a way of being in compliance with this tradition/rule. Wierd sounding? Could certainly be published that way)




And on an aside... I do know someone who knows someone who got out of Scientology. I have heard horror stories about harrassment to the point of serious threats.

You have a point!

You have a point!

A point? Sure! But who are we to be generous and logical when we're dealing with TomKat??? That takes all the fun out of it.

Normally I don't enjoy Go Fug Yourself as much as others seem to, but this entry cracked me up. He really does seem crazy.
