Katharine McPhee.jpg

Scientologist Tom Cruise & his fiancee Katie Holmes have asked American Idol runner-up Katharine McPhee to sing at their wedding. 

Holmes apparently met McPhee at the Los Angeles Church of Scientology (boo!), where the singer was taking courses with her boyfriend (double boo!).  After meeting Katharine, Katie became a fan of the singer & when McPhee lost the Idol crown to Taylor Hicks last week, the couple got in touch and requested her to perform at their wedding ceremony.  

A close friend stated, “Tom and Katie have become Katharine’s biggest fans. They think she’s destined to become a singing legend.”

Tom & Katie are not the only ones showing interest, reportedly Steven Spielberg has set a meeting with McPhee to talk about her future as an actress. 

You know, it’s nice that there are American Idols out there that help boost the talented people to stardom.  It just sucks when the screw it all up with that damn Scientology bit.

Matt Stone & Trey Parker.jpg

Tom Cruise has lost.  What has he lost?  Well- his dignity, his mind, Nicole Kidman is no longer a Scientologist and Katie, I mean Kate, Holmes looks a little blue these days.  But Mr. Cruise has also lost his battle to stop a certain episode of South Park from being shown in the UK.

The "Trapped in a Closet" episode mocks Scientology beliefs and shows a cartoony version of Cruise who locks himself in Stan's closet while under the impression that the born again L. Ron Hubbard sees him as a failure. 

On Monday the much-fought-over episode was shown at London's National Film Theatre.  The show was originally take off the air by British TV network Channel 4 in January due to complaints.

An event planner stated, "If we were charging there may have been legal problems, but it was a free event, so it should be fine." 
 
During the free screening at the theatre, creators Matt Stone & Trey Parker gave a brief talk about free speech and handed out free copies of "Trapped in a Closet".

I like the way Matt & Trey work it.  Destroy & humiliate your enemy through open discussion and information, and then pass out the copies in the millions.

Vince Vaughn Oprah Winfrey Show.jpgYesterday Vince Vaughn talked Jennifer Aniston on The Oprah Winfrey Show.  Apparently both Vaughn & Winfrey have a thing for Aniston with each trying to out-compliment the other. 

Vaughn praised Aniston by saying "Jennifer's great. She's one of my favorite people."

To which Oprah replied, "She's one of mine, too."

Vaughn pressed on with, "Jennifer's great. She's just really smart and funny and easy to be with - very considerate. She's great."

And then Tom Cruise entered stage left and started jumping on couches saying, "Xenu be praised, I love Jennifer too!"

When Oprah questioned Vince on the possibility of children he stated, "I think (having children) takes a lot of focus, takes a lot of attention. I think it would be nice at some point to have a different priority. I think that time would come.  But not any time in the near future for me. No, I have not talked about having kids with Jennifer."

And chiding reports of their lavish wedding paid for by Oprah, Vince commented, "First we have to have the $8 million wedding."

If it came down to a mud wrestling match who would win:  Vince Vaughn, Oprah Winfrey or Tom Cruise?  I'm going to have to go with the Oprah, ever since The Color Purple, I knew she could pack a punch like nobody's business.

zz.jpgWith Tom Cruise & Katie, I mean Kate, Holmes out & about, I thought we'd do a quick roundup update on the duo. 

In a recent interview with Good Housekeeping, Cruise said his adopted Bella approved of Holmes right from the start.   

"After I began dating Kate, Bella looked at me and said, 'Don't let this one go. She's the one.'"

That's pretty sweet and what you would really want to hear from your child about a potential new mate, but doesn't it kinda sound like the 13-year-old has seen Casablanca too many times?

Cruise went on to reveal that he was smitten with Holmes early in their relationship, "I knew almost as soon as I met her. I thought, 'I'm going to be with this woman.' And then after a couple of hours, I thought, 'I'm going to marry this woman.' I just knew.

He just knew.  He just knew who he was brainwashing next he means. 

In other Cruise news, rumors have circulated that pal Jamie Foxx will be godfather to baby Suri.  Foxx denies and stomps on this rumor saying, "It's a rumor. I did give them a nice basket to congratulate them but I'm not Suri's godfather."

And that wraps up the Cruise / Holmes Roundup Update.

Nicole Kidman.jpg

Nicole Kidman is still under the influence of Tom Cruise.  Kidman tells Ladies Home Journal, issue hitting stands tomorrow, that she’s still smitten with the Mission:  Impossible star.  The couple officially split in 2000, while Kidman was pregnant and who subsequently had a miscarriage.  

Tom is now engaged to marry Katie, I mean Kate, Holmes & Nicole is engaged to country singer Keith Urban.  But while Kidman has moved beyond her life with Cruise, she tells the Journal she still has feelings for the Scientologist.

“He was huge; still is. To me, he was just Tom, this lovely man, but to everybody else, he is huge. But he was lovely to me. And I loved him. I still love him.”

Nicole Kidman has always been very quiet & reserved regarding her split with Cruise.  In one of the most revealing statements she says, “I knew I was going to get hit by something, but I think a divorce, and the demise of what your family is, is a little like a death in itself.” 

Kidman is very careful these days who she lets into her life these days.  I guess I would be too if I was escaping a Scientology marriage.

She says,  “I surround myself with truthful, kind people, most of whom are not in the business,” she says. “It’s the life I want to have when I’m an old woman with long gray hair.”

Britney Spears Kevin Federline.jpgSo we were all waiting on sharp pins & needles for the mysterious Britney Spears press conference yesterday.  But it looks like we’ve all been bamboozeled, the pop star diva never showed and we are now left to guess why.

Top Ten Reasons Why Britney Spears Did Not Show Up For Thursday’s Press Conference:

  • #10:  Britney was in a battle with DCFS to get baby Sean back
  • #9:  Britney lost the DCFS battle & jumped over a Louisiana bridge
  • #8:  Britney went back to her home planet Krypton to get away from it all
  • #7:  Britney was kidnapped by Tom Cruise & is currently in isolation listening to Scientology brainwashing tapes
  • #6:  Britney came to her senses, filed for divorce from Kevin Federline, hired a jet, flew to Belize, married a native & lived happily ever after
  • #5:  Britney Spears is really John Stewart and she / he had a show to do last night
  • #4:  Britney was eaten by K-Fed who belched afterward saying it was the best whale he ever had
  • #3:  Britney moonlights as a railroad engineer & had to pull an extra shift
  • #2:  Britney said screw Mary Kate, Paris Hilton & Lindsay Lohan, she wants a piece of that Stavros Niarchos ass
  • #1:  Osama Bin Laden got the better of her & carried her off for booty


Michelle Monaghan Tom Cruise Mission Impossible.jpgSomeone has finally come out of the Mission:  Impossible 3 woodwork and defended Tom Cruise’s on-set behavior.  Michelle Monaghan states the actor never promoted Scientology on the set and insists he never tried to convert her.

New daddy Cruise has faced criticism worldwide for his staunch beliefs and recently received a backlash due to his non-certified ultrasound machine use.  There have been rumors & speculations that Tom tries to convert everyone he knows to Scientology, and specifically on the movie set. 

But Mission:  Impossible 3 co-star Michelle Monaghan insists that Tom Cruise’s zany beliefs do not play into his professional life.

She says, “He didn’t give me any Scientology advice and I never got any Scientology questions from him either.

“Should I hand him out books on Catholicism? I don’t know.

“I enjoyed every single minute of working with him. He’s such a complete professional and he couldn’t have been a more patient guy.

“On top of that, he’s such a generous guy. I’ve never seen any actor I’ve worked with treat the cast and crew the way he did. He’s incredible.”

You know what I’m left thinking?  How much did it take the Church of Scientology to pay Monaghan off?

Katie Holmes Buff Bride.jpgKatie Holmes, I mean Kate Holmes else Tom Cruise hits me over the head and says I’m not a woman, is in the heat of weight loss battle after giving birth to baby Suri on April 18.  Holmes is hoping to shed the pounds in preparation for her marriage to Tom this summer.  These plans, however, have been met with opposition from Katie’s, I mean Kate’s, father. 

As reported earlier, Holmes has already met with Buff Brides owner Sue Fleming who specializes in diminishing pounds for brides in a matter of weeks.  Tom Cruise is overseeing the fitness regime since Katie, I mean Kate, can’t really do a lot of sit ups with her hands tied.  Much to the chagrin of her father, Holmes is dedicated to loosing her baby weight. 

Martin Holmes tells British magazine Reveal, “My daughter needs rest, relaxation and recuperation. Katie is already doing exercises to build up her back and shoulders and I simply can’t go along with what is happening.”

Buff Brides Sue Fleming interjects, ”Katie can and will do it. She has great motivation. She loves her fiance and was proud that Tom oversaw this program.

“He told her he wanted her to be the most beautiful bride ever. She was in tears when he said that.”

I’m pretty sure Katie, I mean Kate, was in tears because she should already be the most beautiful bride to Tom Cruise, I mean Satan.  And probably mingled with a little regret and painful chaffing skin due to the ropes on her wrist.

Tom Cruise Mission Impossible 3.jpgPublicity managers for Mission:  Impossible 3 got a different kind of publicity than they bargained for when a recent stunt went awry.  But don’t they say there is no such thing as bad publicity?

In LA, The Los Angeles Times newspaper racks were installed with strategically placed audio boxes which were set to play the familiar Mission:  Impossible tune when the door opened.  However, some of the boxes became disconnected and sprouted wires prompting newspaper readers to report potential bomb attacks.  Now come on, is the Los Angeles Times really all that bad?  I guess this is the part where Tom Cruise saves the day with Macgyver-like ingenuity?

Officials from The Times said the promotional stunt was created to transform “everyday news rack experience” into an “extraordinary mission.”  I always consider a potential bomb an extraordinary mission, don’t you?

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department arson squad destroyed and box and stated, ”This was the least intended outcome. We weren’t expecting anything like this.”

Heath Ledger Candy.jpgAccording to new reports, Australian-born Heath Ledger shirked the Sydney premier of Candy, the first Australian film he’s done in four years, due to a paparazzi grudge.  Earlier reports stated the Brokeback actor was staying at home to watch baby Matilda due to girlfriend Michelle Williams‘ absence. 

Apparently the real reason why Ledger did not want to attend the Australian premier goes back to an incident in January.  Heath was squirted, Tom Cruise-style, by water pistols carried by members of the paparazzi at his Brokeback Mountain premier.

Candy producer Margaret Fink explained the actor’s nonattendance by saying, “I know Heath would want to be here, but he was put off by those jerks behaving so appallingly at the Brokeback Mountain premiere.

“Why would he want to come out here when people behave like that towards him? He was quite rightly infuriated.”

What a goof, that Heath Ledger.  I love a good confrontation.  Why snub the Candy premier when you can play with the paparazzi.  I’m no Tom Cruise lover but I did like the way he handled that whole War of the Worlds water gun thing in London:

“Why would you do that?  Do you like thinking less of people, is that it?  Don’t run away. That’s incredibly rude. I’m here giving you an interview and you do that … it’s incredibly rude.  You’re a jerk.”

One shining moment for the Cruise, I have to give him that one.

Tom Cruise Diaper.jpgTom Cruise loves placentas & changing dirty diapers. What am I to learn from that about the Cruisemeister? The 43-year-old actor, who is in the middle of a whirlwind promotional tour of Europe for his new movie Mission: Impossible 3, helps his fiance Katie Holmes by changing baby Suri’s diapers. The two lovebirds have quite a system in place to help with their newborn.

Cruise states, “I changed her first. I change diapers all the time. I have to tell you, I love it. We have a whole system worked out. It’s the ‘B and B’–she does the breast-feeding and I do the burping and changing the diapers. It’s teamwork. It’s fun.”

Scientologist Tom Cruise is going back & forth from Europe to the US so that he can be with Katie & Suri as much as possible. Cruise worried about embarking on his European promo tour & leaving the ladies behind.

“My own ‘Mission: Impossible’ was getting here. That was the Mission Impossible. Because it kept going back and forth,” Cruise said.

“I wasn’t going to come and then Kate said, you know, ‘Go. Go.’ … So I’m here. And I’ll be here for a few hours and then I’ll get back on an airplane and go back home to Kate and Suri.”

Talk about jet lag. I don’t know how he does it. Must be a spaceship thing I don’t understand.
