are you kidding me?
putting your fucking CHILD on the cover of vanity fair?
are they out of their minds?
using a child as a p.r prop???
argh. question: what is more important, your ability to shepherd a child through
life and give it a healthy foundation for the hardships of existence, or using
it to get a vanity fair cover?
using children as p.r props does disgust me, i have to admit.
in the grand scheme of things fame pales in comparison to family and child-rearing.
i don't know tom cruise and katie holmes, but i really cannot for a second fathom
the mindset of parents who would sell pictures of their children and use their
children to get better press coverage.
i'm sorry, i try not to be too judgemental, but it's gross.
shouldn't children have to be cogniscent of what's actually going on before they're
being used by their parents to be on the cover of magazines?
not to sound too old fashioned, but if parenthood and infancy are not sacred in our culture, what is?
it just seems fucking grotesque to me, to use your newborn to get press coverage.
ugh.

"Using a child as a PR prop!" he huffs. (Tom should respond: "Moby, you don't know me." Or rather, "You don't know the history of PR props. I do").

Wed, September 13, 2006 - 4:16 PMmuch ado bout nothing in my opinion.
i'm not sure what he (and katie) could have done that would not have attracted criticism.
no pictures - where is the baby?
lots of pictures - cruise is crazy.
i think its all part of the wacky world that is celebrity and the press'/public's obsession with them. i'm not saying its cool. i do think its a bit of a no-win situation.

Wed, September 13, 2006 - 9:32 PMOh, Sean. Always with the Xtina.
My new favorite twist of the Tomkat drama is the suggestion that Chris Klein may be Suri's father...he and Suri have the same eyes. Katie told Tom that she was preggers and not only was he interested in being her, he wanted to claim the baby as his.
De.li.cious.
