Obligatory Celebrity gossip

I don't understand these infatuations with celebrities. Sure many are hot bitches and they all have a lot of cash, but that has nothing to do with the people who waste money on magazines and waste their time reading and watching television about these vapid, pampered, loudmouths. With that being said.....

Want to hear something I thought about the other day? I had heard that Tom Cruise had been having his "people" put their feelers out for hot young actresses for him to pursue a few months back. The number one girl on his list was Kate Bosworth who apparently was not interested. Number two was Jessica Alba who was similarly disinterested. So the third attempt was the charm for our middle-aged cult member who turned his affections unto the cute, innocent seeming Katie Holmes who had girlishly told Vogue magazine "I want to marry Tom Cruise someday."

Apparently his advances have proved effective as he has been seen making out with and spending time with young Ms. Holmes at every opportunity. Many think that Cruise is gay and that this is just a sham. That could be true, although I doubt it. I think that the real reason for this relationship, as well as his infamous Oprah appearance where he basically acted like a damn fool stems from another reason.

I think that all this is a ploy to get Cruise back into the public consciousness, where he had pretty much fallen out of as he is getting old and hasn't really had a hit movie since The Last Samurai. Banging Katie Holmes definitely placed the spotlight back on Cruise.... just in time for his upcoming summer blockbuster War of the Worlds. While this would be reason enough for such a publicity stunt, I see an even more sinister motive. I think that Cruise wants the spotlight on him so that he can attempt to draw more people into Scientology. You know, the "religion" that is banned from several countries due to the fact that it is really a cult created by L. Ron Hubbard that teaches about alien overlords that control our galaxy and other such nonsense. I mean shit, if people are too stupid to see through the logical fallacies and lies that the U.S. government has been spewing for the past five years, why would they doubt Maverick?
