The Awards or the Red Carpet Special? (I'm guessing the Awards show from the times of the above posts.. got it set to record. But.. why is Tom on BET tonight? Is he presenting? Jan, I wasn't aware of any 10 year rule about alimony (spousal support) in California.. but maybe I just got divorced before it was in effect or was lucky.. not that I was going to get anything from my ex, even after 13 years and working while he got his MA and PhD.. but that I had to sweat that he might get spousal support from me.. I was doing our divorce papers with help of a friend's ex, who was working toward being a paralegal, and when my soon to be ex asked for just one more thing (that being the second of our two cars).. I said.. only if you sign this paper with the list of who got what and cleverly included the statement that we BOTH waived rights to any spousal support, so I dodged THAT bullet. And I DO remember reading something about timing of their divorce being key and it sounded like he tried to make it retroactive to benefit himself.. wonder if it had to do with a pre-nup?

Sea..I sure don't claim to be any expert on California divorce law (or that of any other country for that matter since I have never been married or studied law  ) I was just repeating stuff I heard here by other posters at TVCH.I have also seen a few blurbs from news links ....eg Cruise "is playing hardball," family-law attorney Lynn Soodik told PEOPLE, citing his plea, in which Cruise, who did not have a prenuptial agreement with Kidman, states that the marriage ended in December and lasted precisely nine years and 11 months. (California judges look differently upon marriages that last at least a decade when it comes time to divvy up the estate.) from http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Hills/7096/TomCruise.html and If it is proved that the couple were really together for 10 years or more, California law states that the assets of the marriage be divided equally. from the BBC article kinked above. Congrats to you, BTW, for getting that lovely peace of paper signed!!!!

Hey, for once, I tend to agree with Tom : BERLIN (Reuters) - Hollywood actor Tom Cruise not only battles creatures from outer space in his latest film "War of the Worlds," he also believes aliens really exist, he told a German newspaper on Wednesday. Asked in an interview with the tabloid daily Bild if he believed in aliens, Cruise said: "Yes, of course. Are you really so arrogant as to believe we are alone in this universe?" "Millions of stars, and we're supposed to be the only living creatures? No, there are many things out there, we just don't know," Cruise, 42, said in the interview published in German. Yahoo

It's one thing to believe there is other life out in the universe. It's a whole 'nother thing to believe that mind-warping invaders from the mothership of the Galactic Emperor Xenu are going to land anytime soon. But then again, some people think the Bible represents an older version of the same type of fantastical thinking, so whaddayagonnado?

If Michael Jackson died, do you think Tom Cruise would buy his bones?

My problem actually isn't that he says there might be other beings in the universe -- it's the way he continues to arrogantly berate his interviewers -- "Are you so arrogant to believe..." -- blah blah blah. What is with him and his creepy power trip? "You, German newspaper reporter, have not studied the universe. I have. I have personally helped people who have misunderstood the universe. You have not."

Yes, and our favorite high school drop-out understands more about the psychiatric condition than all of the medical experts in the world. Because he has studied it. Like they haven't. (Insert eye-roll). I think Tom is hyper-compensating for his LACK of education and short stature. And he has to hire dates on top of all that. No wonder he's stepping all over his ding-ding in the press. Keeps people from sniffing too deeply into his real issues.

Opinions are like a**holes, everyone's got one, even cod forbid entertainers. Doesn't mean you have to listen to it, agree with it or anything. If I based whether or not I like people cause of their opinions then I'd end up ignoring alot of folks. Oh wait I do that now, nevermind.

Tex, he fired his long time publicist who was known for keeping control of the message coming out of her clients' mouthes. He hired his sister, a fellow scientologist, in her place. I guess he was tired of being made to keep quiet about those things for which he had strong feelings???

Backstreet Boy Carter Ordered to Rehab SANTA ANA, Calif. - Backstreet Boys singer Nick Carter was ordered into a three-month alcohol treatment program after pleading guilty to drunk driving. Carter, 25, entered the plea Tuesday in Orange County Superior Court. The judge also ordered Carter to pay $1,200 in fines, placed him on three years' informal probation and restricted his driving privileges for 90 days, said Deputy District Attorney Tate McCallister. Carter, who wasn't in court Tuesday, was pulled over March 5 in downtown Huntington Beach. He was charged with one count of driving under the influence and one count of driving with a blood alcohol level above 0.08, the legal limit. The singer has said through his publicist that he was on prescription medication at the time "and was unaware of its interaction possibilities." I figured I'd post something non-Tom, non-Oprah.

well I will put this link (which I copied from Bastable from another thread) in here since this is the gossip thread. But I must warn you that this is apparently totally unsubstantiated GOSSIP about Tom and should NOT be taken as necessarily the truth. But it is making the rounds of the internet bloggers. Are they right or wrong?? who knows. Blog GOSSIP
