A coupla random thoughts...

I caught part of that TC interview with Matt. I walked away feeling like I needed to take a shower. Can you say "zealot"? Who is he to be so condescending to Matt, and to be so disrespectful of Brooke and others. Those whom certain drugs HAVE helped. That interview just totally creeped me out. And I thank gawd I was never a TC fan anyways (would never go to see a movie just cause he's in it). And had no intention of seeing this current movie, Steven S or no.

RE: Oprah. Ick. The more I know the less I like. I think the final straw was that party celebrating women of color and everyone wore black and white and she wore bright red. Can you say any louder "LOOK AT MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"? And I'm a bit appalled that Hermes actually issued an apology. Hello? Oprah, you and your temper tantrums should've apologized to them! And threatening to boycott. So professional.

I was sad to hear that Tigger's voice was stilled.

And Madonna? OK, she's richer than many kings. But still... how the heck do you teach an 8 year old the value of money when she has a $10K limit on a credit card? (And what the heck does an 8 year old need to buy that requires that much money?) I'm thinking the material girl is still alive and kicking. I just hope she doesn't pass ye olde proverbial baton to Lourdes!

***just a quick pssst**** Have to say that the gifts for teachers from Oprah were wonderful -- and they RICHLY deserved them! ****Teach wishes SHE had been invited that day! LOL***

I enjoy some of her shows, I enjoy watching Tom in movies, so I'm obviously in the minority. :-) They are entertainment, not my role models -- so maybe that helps.

Oh there can be no doubt that Oprah does give deserving gifts and if a cause catches her fancy and it is a good one (like education of women in areas where that isn't done) it may well be a great thing depending on how the money is administered.

I've always adored Stedman... what a class act that guy is.

I only wish I could afford to make some statement of support by buying Hermes

Madonna? Pfft! Best ignored. But.. it would depend what Lourdes must buy with the card.. now, I don't for a minute think Madonna would handle it like my dad would have, but IF Lourdes had guidance and learned to project her monthly expenses, which could include whatever expensive school she attendes, perhaps the salary for her nanny, her schoolbooks, etc., then it actually could be a good thing since, presumably, she will have big money to manage at some point.

I also felt cold chills watching that clip of the TC interview with Matt..

And they re-ran his manic act when Oprah had him on for her drool and squeal fest so I DVR'd it and I couldn't stomach even half of it! It is always bad when she has certain celebrities on and acts all silly but this time we had Tom..

I mean, to listen to him, why, he must be the perfect partner, father, actor.. who spends enough time on his studies that he knows more than anyone who interviews him (AND all their researchers), the psych community, the medical community, oh yes, and common sense.

I think Nicole, Penelope and Mimi? need to grab Katie and do an intervention.. THAT show I'd watch!

Maris, great story!

Yup I believe it. I've noticed that Oprahs producers and 'O magazine' staffers look strangely frightened by her. Even her 'pet' experts look terrified to be confident in her presence.

Poor S-man. Remember the ole days when she always beamed he was her 'ROCK'

*sigh*

I want to like Oprah. She is just getting too Barbara Walters-ish, cept I wanna dislike Barbara

My granmdother would always say she would love to have Oprah Winfrey and Dolly Parton as neighbors.

Of the recent, she has decided she doesn't even want to live in the same city as Oprah. People's opinion's of her have declined.

I think the mad TV depictions of her are probably close to reality.

From what I heard, she wanted to shop after the shop was closed. They have the right to refuse. Jeez.
As far as Rosie goes, that is another story entirely
I had a friend who worked security on her show. She is not a nice person. (That is putting it mildly) - I would be moderated, if I told you the things she did and said. She is evil evil evil

Yeah, I am not a Rosie Fan either. I am suprised Rosie and Oprah aren't "gal" pals. But in that same instance, I agree with her post/blog, which scares me. But she didn't say anything that we weren't thinking....

1)If you want to see Tom again (and with Katie this time as the both pounce on the couch), The View just taped a segment with them which will air on Friday July 1!!!!

2) from Rosie O'D's blog

<<after watching tom on o

But what a shocker to see Rosie O' say this about her dreamboat- the man she always claimed was perfect and her "truelove" in a platonic way. The man she swooned over and over and over and over. Sure sounds like she is over it! Maybe he took her on over the meds she takes?

I like Rosie, mind you I've always appreciated that grouchy, in your face comedic style, sort of like Roseanne Barr/Arnold. I can see her being bitchy and intolerant, and I don't mind. She doesn't put on this facade of being icky-sweet nice, unlike Oprah.

Oh yes she did Eeyore, while she had her show on, she was called the Queen of Nice, she gave stuff to people and everybody loved Rosie, as soon as her show was over, her true side became known to the public.

When you are putting on a comedic act or a facade for the camera of your show, that shows a kind of in your face comedy, that's one thing, but it's how you treat people in reality that matters. You can't keep up a facade for ever, there has to be a real you, and I have heard both Oprah and Rose O are not the nicest people to be around or work for. Roseanne on the other hand, I personally have never heard anything about the way she treated people (beside's Tom).

Rosie also had a couple of other good insights:

ON TOM:
"my tommy needs to breathe
'heart humor and humility
will lighten up your heavy load'"

ON OPRAH:
"a poor overweight
sexually abused
troubled black female child
from a broken home -
that oprah
sufferred ONE of the most HUMILIATING momemts of HER life
at hermes in paris"

I have been a Rosie O fan for years -- if you're interested her web site is: http://www.rosie.com

i started reading her blog, and for a minute there thought i was reading my own. we're the same age. about the same build. and we both are fed up with so much. i think i'm going to set up a "rant" section of my blog, so i won't keep that inside.

i already have one section called "giving to god". it's when life's troubles are on my back, i write it down there and "give" it to god. figuring god can handle everything, and i learn to not worry about so much. the older i get the less i worry about tom and katie, brad and angelina, oprah, or rosie. and i figure what mocha says is right. karma is a boomerang. give good karma - get good karma. give bad karma - get bad karma

Al had more to say on Today's Blog today.

"Hey folks, who knew that interview Matt had with Tom Cruise would be the thing everybody would be talking about. Everywhere you looked talk shows, newspaper articles, radio call-in shows were discussing Tom Cruise and his intensity, his fire, his attitude about the subject of psychiatry, and drugs and more. Many folks agreed with me that he went over the line, and was rude and at times a bit obnoxious in his zeal to make a point.

Matt got a great e-mail from a friend. Semi-quoting the interview, "Matt … Matt … Matt ... you're glib, but if you had researched psychiatry like I have, you would know ... I’M NUTS!" Saturday I was in the Bahamas to interview Johnny Depp about his new movie, "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and even he wanted to talk about it after the movie. One thing I will say, Tom Cruise has done a lot about the discussion of anti-depressants, psychiatry and more by bringing it out in the open and getting people to really talk about it. So to that end, thanks Tom. It is an important topic, and one that needs to be talked about!"

'Idol' Contestant Clark Cited for Battery
Jun 27, 4:22 PM EST


The Associated Press

SACRAMENTO -- The "American Idol" contestant who claims to have had an affair with judge Paula Abdul was cited on a misdemeanor battery charge after getting into an alleged food fight with his record company manager at a hotel, Sacramento police said Monday.

Corey Clark, 24, was ordered to appear in Sacramento County Superior Court on July 22 after police were called to Sacramento's Sheraton Grand Hotel on Saturday morning by guests, said police spokesman Sgt. Justin Risley.

Clark and the record company executive, Laura Kathleen Troy, were having breakfast in one of the two rooms they rented when they began arguing over an incident from Clark's Friday night concert at Raley Field in West Sacramento, Risley said.

"It ended up as a food fight, throwing dishes. The injuries were relatively minor," Risley said. "I think it was mutual, a back-and-forth kind of thing."

Police found both Clark and Troy with scratches on their arms and cited Clark for misdemeanor battery. Troy, 34, of Los Angeles, was uncooperative and did not want charges filed, Risley said.

"It wasn't even clear they were in a dating relationship," Risley said. "She handles his business affairs. ... They happened to be having breakfast together.

"They got in a van together and left together. I guess they went back to L.A. together," he said.

Clark's representative, Jed Wallace, did not return a telephone message Monday from The Associated Press seeking comment.

Risley said it is standard police policy to cite and release those charged with misdemeanor battery.

Clark alleges he had an affair with Abdul and that she coached him on how to do better during the 2003 "American Idol" competition, a claim Abdul denies. Clark was dismissed from the Fox network show for not disclosing that he had a 2002 misdemeanor arrest alleging he assaulted his younger sister in Kansas.

Have you heard the expression "to be CRUISED". I heard it for the first time this AM during an interview with Gigi Glazer about her new Hollywood book called "The Starter Wife".

Apparently, in California, if a couple divorce after 10 years of marriage, the man must pay alimony for the rest of the wife's life so many divorces occur just before the 10th anniversary. According to Glazer, when this happens , the wife has been "CRUISED" (and it is named after Tom Cruise). Is that what he did to Nicole?

Also apparently Brooke Shields is thanking Tom for helping her sell her book on post-partum depression. She had this to say:

Shields is amazed by Cruise's stance that he knows enough about post-natal depression to tell her how to deal with the illness, despite the actor having no first-hand knowledge as he adopted two children with ex-wife Nicole Kidman. Shields says, "In many ways, I think he's just validated my book. Has he had a baby? Anything that highlights the help available to the thousands of women who suffer is fine by me. Tom should stick to saving the world from aliens and let women decide what treatment is best."

Did anyone catch TC on CBS Early Show this morning? When he talks about ritalin his eyes turn cold, like steel. And his mouth changes. He just gets stiff.

I have always liked TC and enjoyed his movies. Now I can barely stand to watch him being interviewed. It's such a bizarre situation.
