Cruise's Hubbard hubbub

TOM Cruise wants to call his new baby Hubbard — after the founder of his wacky Scientology religion, L Ron Hubbard.

But the actor, 43, faces opposition from fiancée Katie Holmes, 27 — due to give birth in weeks.

An insider said former Catholic Katie, who converted to Scientology, is concerned at being “a laughing stock”.

LOL! You're a riot! :)

He was also called Andy in Levin's own sequel, Son of Rosemary.

Same with the book sequel. I think Rosemary originally names him Andrew. The baby is then kidnapped by the devil cultists. They cause Rosemary to fall into a deep coma. Meanwhile, the son is raised by the Castevets as Adrian Steven Castevet. However, people call him Andy. When Rosemary emerges from her coma 30 some years later, in 1999, she learns that her son is now a great spiritual leader.

Depends.

We've thought he hit rock bottom times before. But the bar keeps being lowered.

I'm smelling a potential lawsuit.

VIII Amendment Ban against Cruel and Unusual punishment, coupled with denied due process of law (before said Cruel and Unusual punishment) as enumerated in the V Amendment?

Methinks the lawyers have already smelt (and are still smelling) the blood.

If this kid grows up to be a failed Sci-Fi writer who invents a new religion, then we'll know...

..is concerned at being “a laughing stock

Just being around psychotic Tom is enough to make her a laughing stock so why worry about the name?

He prophetically foretold his inevitable psychological future in "Taps", long before RB hit the screen.

How about Rob Petri [Dish] if it's a boy?

[Salamander]

Stephen McHattie played him and the reason I remember that is because he kissed some girl and afterwards, the world's longest gob of movie slobber hung suspended between them for what seemed a grotesque eternity.

It scarred me, emotionally.

Whatever his name, this is cause for celebration! Let's sacrifice Rabittee and eat his flesh!

I'm sure you know this, but did you know the phrase "jumping the shark" has been modified to "jumping the couch" meaning something that is utterly, completely, incredibly over the top.
