Repeating an overwhelmingly tedious cycle of behavior
The title comes from one of the myriad of sites out there that criticize Scientology. The quote is very appropriate due to the recent Hollywood (the golden gates of hell) news about Scientology advocate Tom Cruise and his mistress Katie Holmes.
In Hollywood it’s always the same story, fictional drama and the utter disregard for anything remotely human. Hollywood is about money, pleasure, having it your way – at any cost. It is an overwhelmingly tedious cycle of behavior repeated by most actors and actresses.
In case you haven’t followed the ranting and raving of these Hollywood ‘elites’, Cruise and Holmes, here’s the rundown.
Cruise was twice married, first to actresses Mimi Rogers then to actress Nicole Kidman. Both marriages ended in divorce.
Holmes had a five year ‘relationship’ with actor Chris Klein. Holmes dropped Klein calling off their engagement.
As part of a movie publicity stunt, Tom Cruise went after Katie Holmes making an extremely flamboyant show of it all.
In quick succession they announced they had found the love of their life (meaning they had a high of good feelings for all of 10 seconds) and moved in together. Holmes gave up her nominal Catholic faith for scientology and quickly became pregnant with yet another of Hollywood’s illegitimate children.
Now it appears that the ‘relationship’ is ‘falling apart’.
The following are excerpts from a story at the Brisbane Courier-Mail by Edith Bevin.
If Tom’s playing charades it’s a dangerous game
HOLLYWOOD giant Tom Cruise yesterday put paid to claims his relationship with fellow actor Katie Holmes was on the rocks when the couple flew into Sydney aboard a private jet.
But US-based Life & Style magazine is adamant its story, published this week, that Holmes and Cruise had split and called off their wedding is true.
“We stand 100 per cent behind our story,” a magazine representative said.
Hollywood cynics insist the magazine’s claims of a split is [sic] true, and Holmes’s trip to Australia is part of an elaborate charade to “prove” the two are still together.
Now here’s the crux of the matter:
If it was just a publicity stunt, it was a dangerous one, with most airlines recommending women do not fly when they are more than 36 weeks pregnant.
Holmes, 16 years Cruise’s junior, is seven or eight months pregnant with their first child.
Sydney obstetrician Dr Ric Porter said the two major risks of flying when so heavily pregnant were going into premature labour and the potentially fatal deep-vein thrombosis.
“You’re more susceptible to clots, especially on long-haul flights like Los Angles to Sydney,” he said.
Publicity and career trump the life of mother and child. Holmes should have stuck with Catholicism. If she had genuine faith and trust in the Lord she would have been able to stand up to her ranting misogynistic ‘lover’.
The couple have taken the unusual step of issuing a statement denying they have split.
“It should be known that the story is 100 per cent false,” the couple’s publicist Arnold Robinson said in the statement.
“Mr Cruise and Ms Holmes are still engaged and are moving forward with their wedding plans, as well as planning for the arrival of their child.”
Life & Style quotes two unnamed friends of Cruise as saying the public pair “plan to keep up the charade of their romance until after their baby’s birth this spring”.
“So right now they’re together but not together. It’s a really weird situation and unhealthy for both of them,” one of the friends is quoted as saying.
…
More like unhealthy for humanity.
