Cruise: I will eat placenta

Hollywood actor Tom Cruise is planning to eat his new baby's placenta, it emerged today.

It is the latest in a series of unusual revelations by the 43-year-old Mission Impossible star about the child he is expecting with fiancee Katie Holmes.

He told GQ magazine: "I'm gonna eat the placenta. I thought that would be good. Very nutritious. I'm gonna eat the cord and the placenta right there."

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

A follower of Scientology, he has defended the religion's belief that women should give birth in silence.

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

Cruise, who also believes he can cure drug addicts, plans to marry Holmes in the summer. He said earlier this month that their baby was due "any day now".

Quick -- someone call Morgan Spurlock. Perfect follow-up to Supersize Me.....(wait for it).....Afterbirth Me.

Placenta is used in making a lot of cosmetics. Anyone remember Victoria Principal hawking Placentique?

[durasell]

I did see the movie Placentaville with Tobey McGuire and Reese Witherspoon.

[Toby06]

I think I am glad I didn't.

That would be cannibalism.... a pig eating a pig.

LOL... he's in trouble with PETA on this.

He told GQ magazine: "I'm gonna eat the placenta. I thought that would be good. Very nutritious. I'm gonna eat the cord and the placenta right there." >>>>>>>>>>>>>>

"And then will he start gnawing on the baby for the main course?" >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Cruise is a sick puppy. Perhaps he has succumbed to the theory now popular in some scientific circles that stem cells can grow to replace any cell in the body. The problem is that he will be digesting the placenta and cord instead of getting the cells into a location via injection where they might do his brain some good. Obviously anything would be an improvement, including a total lobotomy.

Tom Cruise will never marry this poor woman, and she is lucky for that.He is a middle aged man seeking life extension treatment. What a megalomanic idiot!

Obviously not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

[durasell]

Cruise is either a complete genius or completely out of his mind. He's taken a franchise that's earned billions of dollars with the potential to earn a few hundred million more and painted it wacko...

Bloody 'ell. Just when I was starting to think he could maybe be a good old skin..

 

But you gotta admit, he sure is gutsy.

Another renowned Scientologist, John Travolta, also flies and collects planes. Coincidence, or tenet of the faith?

Nothing surprises me any more.

[Awestruck]

Placenta Helper anyone?

Hadn't thought about it before, but you're right. This whole Cruise-Holmes-Baby-Scientology thing definitely has a Rosemary's Baby air to it.

Sounds like they almost expect this baby to be the second coming of L. Ron Hubbard.

You don't think Tom's leaning toward naming the baby, L. Ron, do you?

Or will they go the "weird" route and name the baby, "Anexya", or something like that? How about "Clear"?

Here Tom...some recipes...

Placenta Cocktail: 1/4 cup raw placenta 8oz V-8 juice 2 ice cubes 1/2 cup carrot. Blend at high speed for 10 seconds Placenta Lasagne: Use your favorite Lasagne recipe and substitute this mixture for one layer of cheese. In 2 tbl. olive oil, quickly saute meat of 3/4 placenta, ground or minced; plus 2 sliced cloves of garlic, 1/2 tsp. oregano, 1/2 diced onion & 2 tbl. tomato paste, or 1 whole tomato.

Placenta Spaghetti: Cut meat of 3/4 placenta into bite size pieces, then brown quickly in 1 tbl. butter plus 1 tbl. oil. Then add 1 large can tomato puree, 2 cans crushed pear tomatoes, 1 onion, 2 cloves of garlic, 1 tbl. molasses, 1 bay leaf, 1 tbl. rosemary, 1 tsp. ea. of salt, honey, oregano, basil, and fennel. Simmer 1 1/2 hours.

Placenta Stew: Meat of 3/4 placenta in bite size chunks, 1 potato (cubed), 1/4 cup fresh parsley, 2 carrots, 3 ribs celery, 1 zucchini, 1 large tomato, 1 small onion. Dredge meat in 1 tbl. flour mixed with 1 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. paprika, pinch of cloves, pinch of pepper, 6-8 crushed coriander seeds. Saute meat in 2 tbl. oil, then add vegetables (cut up) and 4-5 cups of water. Bring to full boil, then simmer for 1 hour.

Placenta Pizza: Grind placenta. Saute in 2 tbl. olive oil with 4 garlic cloves, then add 1/4 tsp. fennel, 1/4 tsp. pepper, 1/4 tsp. paprika, 1/4 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. oregano, 1/4 tsp. thyme, and 1/4 cup of wine. Allow to stand for 30 minutes, then use with your favorite home made pizza recipe. It's a fine placenta sausage topping.

Placenta Roast: All "food" should be properly cleaned prior to cooking, and all "food" should be properly cooked prior to eating. This is a good recipe for placenta, which should NOT go to waste: INGREDIENTS: 1 to 3 lb. placenta no more than 3 days old 1 large onion 1 large green or red pepper (green will add color to the presentation) 1 cup tomato sauce 1 sleeve of saltine crackers 1 tsp crab or shrimp seasoning 1 tsp black pepper 1 tsp white pepper 1 clove garlic (roasted and minced)

Cruise just gives me the creeps. I feel sorry for the girl. I feel REALLY sorry for the baby.
As someone that has had (unfortunately)a bit of experience with the cult thing, I know that this will have a bad outcome.

Apparently, Greta and her husband are Scientologists too: LINK

How do you make a baby float?

2 scoops of ice cream and one baby.

Now, substitute placenta....

[chasio649]

Show me the PLACENTA!

;)

He told GQ magazine: "I'm gonna eat the placenta. I thought that would be good. Very nutritious. I'm gonna eat the cord and the placenta right there."

This can't be true!!! OMG - he's insane!!!

Is there actually proof he said this (like it's published and linkable in GQ mag)

He's a freaking cannibal, Katie Holmes should run for her life and her baby's.

[carmenbmw]

Eeeewwww....
(snicker)

[Dallas59]

[Solamente]

I'm not sure, but for dessert its Meconium ala Mode.
