I just don't see it with Tom Cruise. He is at best, average looking. He has decent hair, I guess, but there is nothing spectacular about him. He doesn't have George Clooney's debonair-ness about him, or Brad's piercing eyes and luscious dimples. He lacks the Matthew McConaughey charm, sex appeal, and to die for southern accent. Can he serenade me like Jon Bon Jovi while I run my fingers through his wild hair? Does he give me goosbumps like Tim McGraw in a cowboy hat (or nothing at all rather?) Can he romance me like Nick Lachey? Can he make me laugh like Dane Cook? Can he get my knees weak with his Irish accent and beautiful eyes like John Rhys Myers? No, to all of these... See, I guess I just don't see what Tom Cruise has over these guys. To me he's a has been. Day before yesterdecades poster boy. Not my bag, baby, not at all.

Escapee ... I like your taste in men and I like the thought you've put behind each reason. No Tom doesn't do it for me either but I do wish them well.

Not my bag either. He's still shorter than $hit even with those lifts in his shoes. I guess, I like his money but that would be about all. He was at his hottest in the Top Gun days but he must have been standing on a box or something because I remember him looking average height.

Well, I think Tom is cute and would not kick him out of bed for eating crackers I may not agree with his views but I wish him nothing but happiness.

He's not my bag either, ever since he dissed so many people. And all his publicity this past year just seems so calculated. I don't care for him at all but everyone deserves to be happy. I just hope Katie really is.

He just seems so pompous now. Personality makes up about 90% of how you look to someone else. Also, did anyone else notice that leo dicaprio has put on about 60 or so pounds since Titanic?

I agree with Escapee about how much personality influences how I see someone. As someone who has battled several major depressions and whose life has been completely changed by the miracles of "prescriptive mind-altering pharmaceuticals," I have a hard time even looking at Tom Cruise anymore without cringing. I just can't separate how I feel about him from his movies anymore. Same with Mel Gibson. I used to love them both. If that makes me a little person, oh well! I can live with that!

hermione, I agree. I would be he first one to run to a Mel Gibson movie, now you couldnt pay me to watch him. As for Tom Cruise, his attackon Brooke Shields was the last nail for me. As for Katie, she is a beautiful young woman who apparently has a very strong family network so whatever happens, I think she will come out of it ok. Like Nicole Kidman, the experience will end up making her stronger, whether it lasts or now.

I will always love Risky Business and Top Gun. I will always love Mad Max and The Road Warrior. To me, that's the Tom and Mel I choose to remember. Who these two new guys are, I don't know and don't care to know. I don't care to see them talking on TV and I have little interest in their work. As for Leo, he has bulked up a bit and it especially shows in his face. His boyish good looks have changed, but he's still cute and he's really turned into a fine actor (not that I had any doubts about that).

ITA Brenda about Mel & Leo. My fav Mel Gibson flicks are Braveheart (I am over half Scottish) and The Patriot. Oh by the way I forgot to add Heath Ledger to my list up top. Sexy Dimples and a hot body.

Jane Pauley Sues New York Times The Smoking Gun Broadcaster claims fraud over appearance in drug industry advertorial Claiming that The New York Times duped her into granting an interview for what turned out to be a drug company-funded advertising supplement, Jane Pauley has sued the newspaper for fraud. In a lawsuit filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court, the 55-year-old broadcaster charges that she believed that the Times interview was for a news article on mental health issues, but that the story (accompanied by a full-page photo) ran in an October 2005 "special advertising supplement" promoting psychotherapeutic drugs sold by Eli Lilly and other pharmaceutical firms. Pauley, who in September 2004 disclosed her battle with bipolar disorder, alleges that the Times "duped" her into lending her name to its advertising gambit, according to the lawsuit, an excerpt of which you'll find below. After going public about her bipolar disorder, the lawsuit notes, Pauley has worked with several mental health advocacy groups, including the National Mental Health Association. Pauley's lawsuit seeks unspecified damages from the newspaper and DeWitt Publishing, which helped arrange the advertorial.

Her hand in that picture looks like it could belong to Gollum from LOTR's. <sorry, but it looks amphibian, maybe it is not a real picture.>

Anyone catch Madonna on Oprah? Hope that helps settle things down. I feel so bad for Madonna, trying to do such a wonderful thing and getting blasted for it. I also feel so bad for the dad who must be nonstop bothered (to say the least) by the media...

Great Pictures. The one with Guy is so cute. I don't know the babys name. Does anyone know what it is? I hope things work out for all involved. He looks like a little sweetheart. Lourdes, does look just like her mom. Have you seen Demi Moores oldest daughter? Spitting image of Demi.
