Not In A Good Way

The Tom Cruise Crazy Train shows no signs of slowing down, with the latest stop on the cover of T: The New York Times Style Magazine's "Holiday/Reinvention" issue. It's like we went back three years, when Cruise kept discussing how much he loves Katie Holmes. Look, Tom, we get that you're "happy" or whatever, but it might be a bit more believable if you weren't so over the top about it all.

About his robotic wife, Tom revealed that he took things slow:

'I knew I wanted to marry Kate when I met her.'

When Holmes confessed to him that she dreamed of marrying him as a little girl, 'I said I wouldn't want to disappoint her,' Cruise says. So, the actor says, he bought Holmes an engagement ring shortly after their first date in 2005.

'At one point, I thought she was going to ask me to marry her first and I put her off by changing the subject,' Cruise adds. 'I wanted to ask her.'

For our fellow Office fans, remember the "awww" you let out when Jim showed off his engagement ring for Pam, admitting that he bought it a week after they started dating? That's not the same feeling we get when Tom Cruise says basically the same thing. Not at all.

No. 1 Stoney says:

Of course he knew he wanted to marry Katie when he met her. He had already drawn up the contract and Scarlet and Jessica had rejected him.

Um, ok, do not even compare Tommy Girl to Jim and Pam! They are DESTINED. Plus, they were friends for years first, so it's way less creepy.

Pam wasn't coerced into drinking any Jim-ba Juice.

No. 4 Run-DMS says:

If you believe Andrew Morton's book, he went bonkers over Sofia Vergara before meeting Katie. Vergara was so freaked out that she did what any sane woman would do when a guy she barely met starts sending flowers every day. She ran. She got as far away as possible from Tommy.

I heard that when he proposed, he went down on one knee, but Katie couldn't tell.

LOL, Slayer. I know, it was such a lame joke.

I am weak against bad puns and corny punchlines.

Hello, my name is SeaKat and I am a cheeseball.

No. 11 I'm On A Rant I'm Tellin' Ya says:

Meh. So what. Aside from the dumb bitches debacle in turning down the next Batman movie, Katie Kate did pretty well. Don't know where they got the brat, though. A relative? Little barley drinkin' shit bag didn't come from Tommy Boy's loins, I can tell you that. You can tell by the way he doesn't mind freezing her. More than likely Katie Kate was either knocked up when they met, which posed a perfect opportunity for Tommy to dispell the gay rumors. Wasn't he firing blanks with Nicole? At least that is the story he told. guess Nicky wasn't up for the turkey baster with Tommy's jizz in it. doesn't matter. The guy is pretty much done. More than Lindsay. He used to hate the Pap shit, now he's out for more publicity than a drag queen running for Miss Gay USA! Hope his butt bud Smith will help him out. You know that is another big ole queen. His wife's dick is bigger than his!

No. 12 I'm On A Rant I'm Tellin' Ya says:

Yeah. to back up the "kid's not his" rant. Notice how the bitch got knocked up so quick, then there's been nothin' since? Do those two a-holes even discuss having another rug rat?

I idolize him very much. Just saw him chatting with a girl at ***INTERRACIALLOVING.COM***. I am wondering what kind of relationship he is looking for on that site.

Caitlin - I presume you mean the all original English Ricky Gervais Office. That was brilliant.
I won't ask why you post at 2.34am…I've heard vague rumours that some people are actually asleep in the early hours.
Not me, I work nights, and when I step out for a smoke and coffee at 3am…..ahhh, peace, serenity, silence - apart from the sirens and the stolen cars and the totally lost drunks and the jets taking off during curfew hours. Yes, a blissful time.
p.s. ex-kiwi Aussie here
pps..don't forget to bow when Sar enters the room

No. 16 MLK says:

My husband and I knew we were going to marry each other immediately as well. Knowing what that feels like I can understand TC. I think people who would say otherwise are unlucky in love and probably bitter about it.

No. 17 em says:

I think it's great when that happens to normal people, MLK. I just have a hard time believing that Tom Cruise is, y'know, normal.

No. 18 snapnhiss says:

Weird how much TC resembles Randolph Scott in that photo… another closeted gay man.

No. 19 filthy cute says:

What I resent most about this whole Tom-Loves-Katie thing is that he believes it'll make us want to watch his movies more. Hasn't he learned yet?

MLK, I can listen to a normal person like you say that and feel happy for you — and hopeful for me. But when the Cruiseazy train is chugging batshit tales of love into my small, but rewarding life, I can't help but feel I'm being talked down to. Patted on the head.

Pisses me the f*ck off.
