Still ... it's better than bawling about Wal-Mart, or Hillary ... I guess. ;)

Tom Cruise has already claimed to know the history of psychiatry. Now he's working on getting acquainted with OB/GYN.
The couch-jumping thesp has acquired a sonogram machine with which to personally track the progress of the fetus currently incased in his fiancee Katie Holmes' womb.
Cruise revealed the purchase during an interview with Barbara Walters taped Oct. 30 for the veteran newswoman's upcoming special, Barbara Walters Presents: The 10 Most Fascinating People of 2005, scheduled to air Tuesday on ABC. "I bought a sonogram machine," Cruise told Walters. "I am going to donate it to a hospital when we are done."
Somewhat startled, Walters replied, "Wait, you are going to do your own sonogram?"
"Yes," Cruise replied, chuckling.
Sonogram machines, which use ultrasound waves to monitor a baby's development, can cost anywhere from $15,000 to $200,000. No word on how much Cruise shelled out to purchase his own.
Cruise told Walters he did not yet know the sex of his first genetic offspring.
"Barbara, I would tell you," he said. "I would say, 'I know if it's a boy or a girl, and I'm not telling you.' "
"So what do you see?" Walters asked. "A little baby," the actor replied.
Fascinating, indeed.
The War of the Worlds star also told Walters that he and Holmes would wait to get married until after their child's birth, though it's unclear exactly when that blessed event may occur.
"We are going to get married next summer or early fall," he told Walters. "We don't have a date set yet."
The affianced duo recently departed for Shanghai, where they'll spend a couple of weeks while Cruise films scenes for Mission: Impossible 3.
According to the Shanghai Daily's Website, Cruise and Holmes have been taking in the local sights, including the Chenghuang Temple, a resort featuring old-style architecture, as well as dining heartily on Sichuan cuisine.
It should be against the law for some people to procreate.
I don't know if one every day is a good thing--but please don't talk down ultrasounds because of one nut.
Did anyone see the movie 'The Astronaut's Wife'? Why is it Cruise is becoming more and more like the Johnny Deep character?
TOM, COME OUT OF THE CLOSET.. NO ONE WILL JUDGE YOU.. JUST COME OUT OF THE CLOSET...
Is he hurting anyone?
Is he criticizing the war or the troops?
No, he's just a happy father-to-be. And I'm happy for him.
Cruise is just plain creepy
I recently saw him in an extensive interview on "E", and I have never seen such an ego. Everything is about him. He said he wishes he could be his own kid, because he's such a spectacular father. He's also, he says, a fabulous brother, and the world's greatest son. He's a loon. I think he's a wonderful actor, but that's beside the point. Pat Kingsley, his former long-time PR hack deserves a medal (or maybe an Oscar) for doing such a great job of masking/hiding his whackiness so well for so many years.
What Barbara should have asked:
"So how is that little bastard doing, Tom?"
I just wonder if the acting profession attracts certain types of people.
Talked to a guy who was on the aircraft carrier when Top Gun was being filmed. he said the guy is a pompous, egotistical, piehole.
There are new studies showing that when you 'tweak' the ultrasound machine to get a more distinct image you enter a realm of the unknown. But he will probably just make a movie of the handicapped child.
Tom Cruise has quietly dropped his $100 million lawsuit against Kyle Bradford's wife for telling the National Enquirer that her husband frequently bragged about having an affair with Cruise. This week's National Enquirer cover screams, "Tom Cruise Settles Gay Lawsuit! - The Secret Payoff Deal," but the article isn't available on the Enquirer website.
On the other hand, I like the mental image of one of Katie's ultrasounds going like this:
"Man, it is really hot in here...Mom! [fweet!] Yo, Mom! You're not wolfin' down jalapeños again, are ya?...Yeah, 'cause let me tell you about my friend, Ned. His momma ate nothin' but spicy foods?...Homeboy came out red, Ma. Bright red. So if you keep crammin' those peppers down your neck, I might just bust out of here early...grab something on the way out, take it with me."
Cruise is also freaking out because his lawyer Bert Fields is going to indicted in the next week for hiring Anthony Pellicano for wiretapping clients.
Fields apparantly had Pellicano wiretap Nicole Kidman on behald of Tom Cruise so they could use the info against her in Cruise's divorce offer to her. Cruise is saying that he didn't know that the dirt on his ex wife was collected by Pellicano's wiretaps, but the truth will come out in the trial.
I think Cruise insane behavior and actions is actually prompted by the upcoming Pellicano-Fields wiretap indictments.
Note that Pellicano was the same goon who was hired by Hillary Clinton to wiretap and threaten Gennifer Flowers and by Michael Jackson to wiretap and threaten his sexual abuse victims.
Buy some popcorn. Hollyweird is going to be fun to watch after Thanksgiving.
