She's a Stepford Wife in Training!

Filched from MSN.com - my snarky comments are in red.

NEW YORK -- The future Mrs. Tom Cruise has already tried on at least one wedding gown. Katie Holmes appears in the August issue of W magazine posing in a Commes des Garçons wedding dress and continuing to gush about her fiancé. The couple, who went public with their relationship in April, haven't announced a date for their marriage.

"Tom and I will always be in our honeymoon phase," Holmes says in W, on newsstands July 22. In the interview, a theme emerges with many similar comments, including "Tom is the most incredible man in the world." They conveniently leave out the fact that she spoke in a robotic monotone through the entire interview...

Cruise, 42, and Holmes, 26, became engaged last month after the "War of the Worlds" star proposed at the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Holmes, who co-stars in "Batman Begins," has said she's taking lessons in Cruise's faith of Scientology.

"I'm learning to celebrate my own spirit, my own being," she says.
So that's what the kids are calling brainwashing these days - "celebrating my own spirit and being".

During the W interview, the actress wouldn't part from Jessica Rodriguez, who is described as her "Scientologist chaperone." Rodriguez's role in Holmes' life remains vague, though Rodriguez says they're "just best friends" since meeting around the time Holmes met Cruise.
"Just best friends", eh? That's usually how I'd refer to girlfriends before I was comfortable with disclosing my sexuality.

"You adore him," Rodriguez told Holmes when the actress was at a loss for words to describe her love.
Of course, the Scientologist Chaperone has to coach her underling in how to talk about her Straight-for-Pay fiancé. Such is the price one pays when under contract, I suppose.


Not to forget their day jobs, Holmes says she wants to make a movie with Cruise.

"That would be such an honor," she says. "Such an honor."
One word, Katie. Gigli. That is all.

she is messed up

I have a co-worker who's convinced that "They're in love," despite the fact that they met when he flew her out to his house for a meeting, they held a press conference to announce their engagement an hour after it happened (don't those things take longer than an hour to arrange? I would think that setting stuff up for it would take an hour), and they have a contract worth $5 million that they won't have sex for 5 years.

Yeah...that's love all right.

*boggles*

They what? Sex contract? Who?

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. They're (supposedly) getting married, but they're not having sex for at least 5 years. And there's $5 million at stake over it too.

I'm not sure how the $5 million is involved, precisely, as them having sex requires both of them, but...yeah.

That's what they said on the radio, anyway. Who knows how accurate it is, but there you go.

Eh, if that's what she likes. I'll just watch the train wreck from afar as usual.

I'm watching the trainwreck ... and offering color commentary as it happens. :-X

I don't think the words "Scientology" and "faith" belong in the same sentence. Christianity is a faith. Judaism is a faith. Wicca is a faith. Scientology is a cult that preys on celebrities. L/ Ron Hubbard was a fucking loon and a con artist. Even his own son said "Ninety-nine percent of what my father ever wrote or said about himself is entirely untrue." Scientology has never been offically recognized as a religion, I don't think. I seem to remember something about the Scientologists fighting with the government because they wanted tax-exempt status like the other religions.

"Writing for a penny a word is ridiculous. If a man really wants to make a million dollars, the best way would be to start his own religion." --L. Ron Hubbard

No doubt.

humor me, please?

Why do you believe he is gay?

Re: humor me, please?

It's mainly just a mocking thing ... but I think it comes from his "theatrics", so to speak, about this particular woman - and how he's so enamored with her. It just reminds me of some of the guys I grew up with ... who ultimately came out of the closet.

If he really is straight - well, more power to him. I just think he's funny as hell/borderline crazy right now.
