Und now, it's time for Sprockets ven we dahnce!

Karl Hines you ah beautiful and angu-lah.

What about those pictures of her rockin those creepy blue hands, a side effect of cientology cleansing rituals. I am scared for her, she looks so lost. The cast of Eli Stone described her as "sweet" and "quiet". I wouldn't trade lives with her for all the money Tom has.

Maggie was better anyway. Don't know if you noticed the subtle addition of what we in the biz call "a personality" to the Rachel character.

I've seen a lot of glove pics of her - where are the blue hands and what are they from?

So is that Broadway show of hers still a go or not? Last I heard, advance ticket sales were rather slow.

She looks soooo tired. I can't imagine the things she's been forced into doing.

Is all the money she's going to get when the divorce comes really worth all fo this? Well she can hope that her career takes off aftwards like Nicole's did when her contract was up.

That is not her best haircut either.

Cute, they have the same haircut. I think Tom wants to be married to himself.

Sar, I think the discoloration of hands (probably not really blue) might be caused by too much niacin (a B vitamin), which is part of a $cientology "cleansing" or detox process. Just a guess. But I know too much niacin can do weird things to skin colour.

That is exactly what is was, hence the gloves and such. I saw a picture of her trying to hide them on OK mags page. (I swear I only went to check out little Honor!)

Tom must be wearing his big boy shoes because he is the same hight as her. She used to be really cute, it's too bad what has happened to her.

poor joey potter got pwned by james spader's spanky secretary.

i mean, really? you're gonna turn down a starring role in dark knight to make crapfoolery like mad money?

praise xenu.

Yeah, I was reading about Niacin doing that just a couple weeks ago! (I needed Niacin for something and I was looking up doses.) Weird.

So it's gotta be either that or all the colloidal silver she's cooking and swigging.

maggie brought the thunder with her portrayal of rachel dawes. she's classy.

STM, I will always think of her as her character in Secretary. That movie was FAB.

Yes i guess he has his lifts in for these shots and she is probably either in flats or barefoot for the pictures of them close together.

Did any of you ever hear the rumor that he keeps a 2 inch wide leather strap in his trailer? Rumor is he likes to get spanked with it from time to time.

Kinky little freak isn't he…..

That's not kinky. That's just another thing that Maggie does 10 times better than Holmes.

agreed, sar.

agreed.

quit stealing my thoughts, sar!

I believe, if the rumors are even remotely true, that it was always admisitered by a male. Whether he gets a co-star to do it, or has one of his handlers do it, who knows.

but i think at this stage, he probably gives more than he gets now.

So, uptodate (a doctor's reference site) say that niacin causes facial flushing that lasts up to half an hour after taking the medication. No mention of hand purpleness. Doesn't seem like niacin is the likely culprit.

…and at high doses, there can be a global flushing, but it is associated with swollen dry skin, itching, and pain. I can't see why it would be localized to her hands if taken systemically.

She made DID make the right choice - for me. Now when I see it I won't run the risk of seeing her "acting" with only one half or her face. Or her nipples - she was very nipply in the last one.

You say nipply like it was a bad thing, Lisa.

I'm not offering anything original here- just chiming in on what everyone else has observed. But God-damn, that woman looks horrible. It's a shocking transformation since she started "dating" Tom a few years ago. Really- look back at them when she's in a purple dress, and her face is just different. She has aged 10 years. Lucky lady, that one.

Dead behind the eyes…even sunglasses can't disguise. And what do you suppose he's whispering in her earplugged ear - I mean robot radio transponder device?

Which one of those old men is Tom?

She looks so resigned.

I heard from my friend, who saw the movie yesterday, that Maggie was the weakest link in the movie and that she was NO MATCH for Katie Holmes portrayal in the previous film. He raved about Holmes as an actress, saying that it was too bad that Cruise put the nix on her reprising the roll.

"role". I'm not that dumb. : )

If I had a left nut I would give it to be a fly on the wall just to see what the hell is going on in their home life. A very sedated fly. What? The're creepy.

Cruise has slimmed down. He looks good.

*They're* they are

I'd give someone else's left nut to be a fly on the wall. I bet they live an odd existence.

Hms, is that you? Katie HolMeS? Because aside from Tom Cruise, who fawned that he was a "big fan of her work," I have never actually heard anyone say that Katie was a good actress. Never.

If it is you, Katie, let us know what you need. We're here for you, sister.

I have a nail file you can use. Use Katie, not have. I need it back.

She has to wear sunglasses whenever she is out ever since she got caught blinking 'help me' in morse code to a deli clerk.

Blah, that was a full-fledged zinger.

katie holmes, like her child, is an "amazing woman."

i thought maggie did a fantastic job.

i want to know what your friend is smoking, and will your friend share?

those types of female characters (like gwyneth's in iron man) don't really offer a whole lot to work with, but maggie did a great job. as opposed to katie who moped around talking out of the side of her mouth.

she's terrible.

Ugh. Hate them. Aren't women supposed to wear old school dresses to the race track?

To be fair, that hair counts as a ridiculous hat.

Actresses have to stop basing these women on Lois Lane. Lois Lane was a boring woman with nothing going for her, and no x-factor, and she was CLEARLY not a virgin.

plus, in what world or decade is margot kidder attractive?

yikes.

She's mantastic.

DAMN IT-DAMN IT-DAMN IT!!!!

Ok. So I live not too far away from the Laguna Seca motorcycle races.

We also had a BIG rodeo in Salinas this same weekend.

We also had some magnificent tall ships grace the bay.

I had to make choices on what event to do.

I haven't been to a rodeo in eleventy billion years, so I picked the rodeo. (Plus I wanted to see some FINE cowboy jeans. mm-mmm-mm)

DAMN IT!! If I would have picked the races, I could have seen the Cruise-Holmes aliens. With my binoculars.

I am always at the wrong place at the right time.

I heard that I missed out on seeing Michael Jordon and his sweet bike too. He reportedly was at Laguna Seca too. DAMN IT!

I wish Tom Cruise would disapear and release Katie Holmes from the spell he has her under.

they look guilty, like someone just caught them stealing sunglasses….
