I think Tom brought it all on himself. I didn't hear any "hoopla" until he was jumping up and down on couches.

It's Tom Cruise so anything he does, especially the baby, is a big deal. I believe all the Scientology stuff and his remarks about mental health, including his opinion on Brooke Shield's post-partum depression, are what makes it a huge deal.

Personally, while I'm happy for him and Kate on their baby's birth, I am more concerned about Kate and the baby's mental and emotional welfare under his influence. I pray that Kate doesn't suffer from post-partum depression.

Before there was Katie, back when he was married to Nicole (I can't remember how it went during his first marriage) there were allegations that he was gay and lawsuits over that, then the adoptions of their two kids and of course the major hoopla caused by his seemingly cavalier announcement that he was divorcing her, the hoopla being that he quoted a different date for their separation that would change the financial arrangements quite a bit in his favor. Nicole claimed that they were NOT estranged at that point.

Anyway, he's certainly been in the news without it being a much younger partner, before all the couch jumping and Brooke bashing and so on.

OK.. changed my mind, sort of .. reviewed this timeline

http://movies.go.com/feature?featureid=722614 and I think what keeps the tabloid fires raging is the lawsuits. Fair or not, as a celebrity, he is subjected to seemingly wild tabloid "stories" about him. I know Oprah and many other celebs have stated that the best thing to do is simply ignore them, but Tom has filed quite a few lawsuits and, at least per this site he's also won them or gotten retractions.

But it also keeps him in the limelight because they know they can get a huge reaction out of him and then sell even more of their publications.

Throw in some grandiose statements, sprinkle with a controversial religious group and so it continues.

Nicole Kidman should thank her lucky stars that she fell off (was pushed off?) the crazy train before it totally pulled out of the station. Needless to say I won't be seeing "M:I:Please Get Back on your Meds, Tom" any time in the forseeable future.

Nicole is older and far less moldable I believe

I read an article the other day. Can't find it otherwise I would copy and paste. However, this is actually very funny. David Copperfield, renown magician, was w/ 2 of his assistants in west palm beach. they were robbed, at gunpoint. the thieves told all of them to empty their pockets. they got money, jewelry, passports etc. the funny thing is, good old david, pulled a slight of hand and showed them he did not have anything in his pockets. the the thieves drove away. they called the police w/ his cell fone that was still in his pocket and they theives were caught. gotta laugh.

Yes, I can live with Rosie! I really hate to see Meredith leave, but Rosie is a nice replacement! Better than Patricia Heaton, Connie "boreme" Chung or Soledad OBrien!!!

Can you see Rosie being on The View after all the things she's said about Star lately? I don't know.

I can't believe that they would do it. I mean Joy is snarky enough anymore but with Rosie aboard. Are they trying to get rid of Star?

Oh my .. that is sad. I certainly hope it's not true. I've always loved Elizabeth.

I loved Rosie on her show..haven't cared too much for her now. She seems so angry and bitter.

Did anyone see the View (I think Tues or Wed) when they were talking about being seen naked? (I *think* it was when Star was talking about getting a brazillian wax.) And Someone asked if anyone saw her naked. Star said something like there's only one person who would see her naked. And then Joy said something about living in denial.

I know the above description does not seem funny or even make sense. But you just knew Joy was ripping on Star and Al (I got the impression it had to do with Al's alleged gayness.)

If anyone can set the record straight and recap the conversation as it went, I would appreciate it!

Elizabeth Taylor has been near death so many times in her life going all the way back to the forties. She is tough. I have always admired her.
