Cruise gushes over Holmes on 'Oprah' (CNN)

[Ernesto]

NEW YORK (AP) -- "First Tom Cruise was head over heels about his new girlfriend, Katie Holmes. Then he was giddy. Now, he's just plain batty."
Just how in the f**k does this story qualify for a headline on CNN's opening page???????????http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/TV/05/24/people.cruise.ap/index.html

1. Did they show it?

And did Cruise need a wardrobe change afterwards?

[SoCalDem]

2. Serial romancers are like that..

CNN is little more than a Fox-wannabe..

[vi5]

3. God, I hate him...

Everything about that guy. His overcompensation is a horrid combination of both nauseating, sad, and train wreck compelling.

But I'm sure they'll both get the publicity they're so desparately seeking from this for their upcoming movies, so what do I know.

[Sannum]

4. Let me know when he finally comes out of the closet

[sonicx]

5. clearly fake relationship

Cruise's Oprah performance deserves a Razzie.

[KurtNYC]

20. Cover marriage/relationship?

Imagine that. ;-)

[Kerrytravelers]

6. This, ladies and gentlemen, qualifies as news.

The fourth estate is dead.

[LibDemAlways]

7. CNN is apparently getting desperate in its

attempt to divert the masses from anything resembling real news, like 13 more US deaths in Iraq. When they resort to covering someone's appearance on Oprah as "news" they've totally jumped the shark. In fact, they've jumped "jaws" himself. Pitiful.

8. They were talking about this on "Good Day LA".

Most of the time (like all good sheep in LA) they just fawn over Tom, but this was so over the top even they couldn't keep a straight face.

[tishaLA]

14. Have you seen the pictures of the Cruise debacle?

I think it really got to Phil Spector!

[MissB]

15. Oh my.

I think he may be a future Phil.

I didn't catch the Oprah/Cruise show yesterday (then again, I don't usually watch daytime tv) so seeing those pics.......... oh my.

[ronnykmarshall]

17. I'll go with Phill too.

That shit is so staged.

[LibDemAlways]

19. Hysterical, thanks.

What an ass, putting on an act like that. Embarrassing. I'm embarrassed for them both.

Katie, honey, take a look at the dude's track record and get the hell out now. People are already taking you for a fool.

Tom, what can I say? Living a lie is clearly getting to you. Maybe you should reconsider.

[radwriter0555]

21. I'm inclined to think cruise has had a psychotic break... he's totally

out of control over... well, everything.

This is genuinely abnormal behavior.

Will he be shoplifting next?

Or is he cranked up on meth?

Might be meth.

Then he'd get to go to rehab and be a hero.

[DoveTurnedHawk]

33. OMG

That montage is just PAINFUL.

:rofl:

DTH

[ChickMagic]

9. As Jon Stewart said

Dating a 26 year old self-professed virgin is not the best way to prove you're not gay.

[MissB]

10. *snark*

Leave it to Jon. :rofl:

[gardenista]

22. ROFL

Had no idea she was a self-proclaimed virgin! Nicole must be laughing her arse off!

[grace0418]

23. I case I haven't mentioned before...

I freaking love Jon Stewart. Love him.

[faithnotgreed]

28. i thought that was bill maher - or at least he said that on his last show

of the season or the one before that

doesnt matter its still funny

[UdoKier]

11. I actually watched that on TV yesterday.

This 40 year old man DRAGGING this 20 year old GIRL onto the stage so he can show off and make a point of either what a cue girl he's got, or how straight he is, REALLY!

He's such a pathetic egomaniac. I don't know how Oprah could stand to listen to him blather on in self-centered fashion for so long.

Oh yeah! She loves self-important verbal diarrhea as long as it emanates from the mouths of filthy rich showbiz folks, and she's not immune to the verbal squirts herself.

[WI_DEM]

12. John Holmes?

[d_b]

29. Outta the closet, Tommy boy

[swag]

13. Good lord,

he is expulsive.

[ronnykmarshall]

16. I changed the story ...... just a little bit.

NEW YORK (AP) -- First Tom Cruise was head over heels (more like heels over head) about his new "girlfriend", Katie Holmes. Then he was giddy (code word for "gay"). Now, he's just plain batty (code word for trying to damn hard to claim he's not a big ol' queen).

"I can't be cool. I can't be laid-back," an exuberant Cruise sqweeled Monday during a taped appearance on "The Oprah Winfrey Show." "Something happened and I want to celebrate it."

A glassy-eyed Cruise got down on his knees (which is his favorite position) and repeatedly jumped up on the couch like a Robin Williams comedy act, saying that his love for Holmes was "beyond cool."

Will he propose? His answer did more than leave the door open (not the closet door, kids).

"I'm going to discuss it with her laywers," the twice-divorced actor said. "Honestly, I haven't (had this kind of experience before)."

Could it be that Miss Cruise has actually whipped out the Cruise Missle on Katie? Naawwwww!

Later in the show, Cruise went backstage to bring out Holmes, who was quoted in Seventeen magazine last fall as saying she grew up wanting to marry the "Risky Business" star.

"I'm glad I was a big dreamer," she told Winfrey. "Little did I know that one day I'd be getting paid to keep this queen's cover!"

The 42-year-old actor and Holmes, 26, were first photographed together in Rome last month. Their relationship, which was earlier announced by their publicists, has caught the celebrity gossip world by storm and has been crammed down the throats of gullible Americans that need another dumb assed story to take away attention of how George W. Bush is fucking up the world.

Cruise, who will star in Steven Spielberg's "War of the Worlds" next month (which has NOTHING *wink* *wink* to do with 24/7 puke-fest coverage of this bullshit), filled in some details about how they met.

"I admire her and I thought I wanted to meet her -- so I called her," he said. He also mentioned memorable events in their romance, including a motorcycle ride on the beach and surprising Holmes in Rome by covering her hotel room in rose petals. <insert vomit here>

"I'm a romantic. I love that stuff," he said. "It's soooooooo fabulos!"

Despite their openness, many have expressed doubts about the couple's real intentions. People and Us Weekly magazines have both published polls showing that over 60 percent of respondents believe the relationship is a publicity stunt and that Tom Cruise is so nelly he makes Richard Simmons look butch.

Holmes, who starred on television's "Dawson's Creek," has an upcoming blockbuster of her own, "Batman Begins." Which of course has nothing to do with this pile of horse shit.

Cruise aka "Tiny Tom" was previously "married" to Mimi Rogers and Nicole Kidman, and "dated" Penelope "Fuzzy" Cruz for several years.

Holmes and actor Chris Klein recently called off their engagement, after dating for five years. Holmes says her motto is "My skin maybe smooth, but I'm a great beard!"

[ronnykmarshall]

34. Thanks baby!!

I gotta :kick: this cuz I want every one to see what fucking scream I am!

[tjdee]

24. Maybe she's bought into Scientology?

That's the only reason I can figure that he's so batshit about this.

It's kind of frightening, and I *like* the dude.

[evlbstrd]

25. Are you sure he didn't gush on her?

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

26. The relationship has been really, really rewarding for Katie too.

:puke:

Have fun at the L.A. Celebrity center, kids. Say hi to Kirstie and Kelly for me.

:silly:

[ronnykmarshall]

27. He looks like such a dweeb.

[MrSlayer]

30. Tom Cruise is a dipshit.

A real kneebiter. I really can't say more than that.

[Dave Reynolds]

31. Gushes?

Sex thread?

Tell him to get a fuggin towel.
