Last week, it was confirmed that the pair (Holmes/Cruise) are divorcing...

Wow. Just wow!

That was on my Top Ten List of Things to Give a Damn About for this Sunday.

Not.

So Tom Cruise lost a beard and Holmes has finally woken up.

Whoopeeee!

My day is complete now.

If only they would leave Justin Beeber alone....

To survive in Hollywood, you have to be highly self-interested. To be married successfully, you have to be other-interested.

Self-interested and other-interested do not mesh well.

Do you care about Child Abuse? Human trafficking? Unconstitutional IRS preference given to one Religion??
Slave Labor?

For starters...

Something could come of this divorce because the media is in a frenzy over it.

But if Tom Cruise is smart, and settles, at least the frenzy has opened the eyes of some that might have gotten sucked into it.

If anyone wants to see how well Scientology takes care of it’s members - just take a look at the autopsy photos of Lisa Mcpherson. You can find them on the net.

“Judge Kim Wardlaw noted “The view of the IRS is it can unconstitutionally violate the Constitution by establishing religion, by treating one religion more favorably than other religions in terms of what is allowed as deductions, and there can never be any judicial review of that?”We could be seeing an important decision under the Establishment Clause. It would be highly ironic that Scientology would be viewed as the government’s “Chosen People” after being viewed as a criminal cult for so many years. It is equally ironic given the founder L. Ron Hubbard long-standing tax and fraud controversies.”

I like to enjoy being other-interested vicariously.

I have a small tendency to practice schadenfreude. Not that I`m unsympathic to another`s troubles, but if it was predictable and preventable, I can`t help it.

She had a 5 year contract to play his wife. She was one of two actresses that was up for the job. The other was Jessica Alba. The person pulling the strings was David Geffen who also got Cher to pretend that she had a tryst with Cruise years back.

This is all pretend. It is how Hollywood works.

The 5 year deal is over. Holmes will never go on TV and say anything bad about Scientology. She will come up with more scripted fantasy which will include BS about how non-gay Cruise is. At some point Cruise will hire a new “wife” and the next “act” starts.

It is Hollywood. Unfortunately, the same scam was pulled with Barry whatever his real name is.

To quote my favorite celebrity bloggers:

“HOW COULD SOMETHING THAT LOOKED SO NATURAL GO SO WRONG?”

(Yes, these two use a lot of sarcasm in their work.)

Her parents must have known this. I’m surprised Daddy waited so long to swoop in and rescue his daughter.
