Tom Cruise Proposes to Katie Holmes

Tom Cruise Forum

They have only been dating for a short time. Why get married? You should know the person you marry completely.
I married my boyfriend that I had only known for two months and I was sorry I ever did that. He changed his personality overnight.
If you want to marry someone, I suggest you move in with them and see if you could truly get married.

'Moral indignation is jealousy with a halo -- H.G. Wells

This is the breaking news of the day huh?

Tom Cruise makes me sick.

His third marriage.

He divorced Mimi Rogers for Nicole Kidman. He divorced Kidman for Cruz.

I give it about two years and we'll all see another article about how he is divorcing Holmes to be with his new love instead.

Plastic men deserve plastic dolls, not flesh and blood women, gorgeous women I will add.

They are already talking about having babies. Maybe he's just in it for the kids, him and Nicole tried for years and years and never had kids so they adopted, maybe his love for Katie is that he sees her as a baby factory?

She has already said that she is going to quit doing so many movies to concentrate on her new beau and making a family.

PS: the War of the Worlds team paid for his whole proposal except the diamond ring, they put Tom and Katie in a floor of a hotel in paris with 70 odd rooms and all that crap the celebs seem to think they need, the WOTW team paid for the dinner at the Eiffell Tower and all the flowers and stuff too.

I see two option here:
1: - he is being cheap by proposing while on promotional tour and getting all this stuff for free
2: - the proposal is actually part of the publicity tour for WOTW

It could be a combination fo the two, but I am going for number 2.

I've been thinking this is a publicity stunt for so long, but he's going really all-out for her, so you'd hope she's in on it or she's gonna get a rude awakening before the movie's even out on DVD

I don't know if she is in on it. The storey changes so much. There was all this talk about her wanting him to get her mroe movie roles, such as MI3 and some other ones, but then suddenly, she''s withdrawn from it all and wants a family.

He is insane. And the PR campaign that they are doing.

Something messed up is going on here. My opinion is this...Tom sees Katie as a hot little baby-making trophy wife and Katie sees Tom as, well, Tom Cruise!

She is obviously in la-la land and probably not able to see past the fantasy that Tom Cruise himself is all over her. I mean, think about it - what girl in the world would say no to him?

Strange...

I am just sick of his snotty attitude when reporters ask him to clarify his beliefs. He is so condescending. Tom sucks.

Poor Tom!

I'v never been that big of a fan, but I don't dislike him.



I posted this in the Star Wars thread, but it fits here better.

tom cruise kills oprah

I can't stand Tom. I liked Top Gun, but anything after that he got annoying.

So I assume you don't want advice from him on Post-Natal depression?



What a pleb.

This article appeared in my University newspaper. The writer puts into words what I feel.

I have found the list of Tom Cruise's interests. (Whom he wanted to date and all.)

1.) Roselyn Sanchez (age: 35)
2.) Sienna Miller (age: 24)
3.) Lindsay Lohan (age: 19)
4.) Angelina Jolie (age: 30)
5.) Scarlett Johansson (age: 20)
6.) Eliza Dushku (age: 24)
7.) Kate Beckinsale (age: 31)
8.) Beyonce Knowles (age: 24)
9.) Kate Bosworth (age: 22)
10.) Angie Everhart (age: 35)
11.) Eva Longoria (age: 30)
12.) Aishwarya Rai (age: 31)
13.) Ashley Judd (age: 36)
14.) Denise Richards (age: 34)
15.) Mandy Moore (age: 20)
16.) Kylie Minogue (age: 37)
17.) Natalie Portman (age: 24)
18.) Michelle Trachtenberg (age: 19)
19.) Alley Baggett (age: 32)
20.) Katie Holmes (age: 26)

And how old is old Tommy Boy? He will be ****ing 43 on July 3 which is in 2 days. I have heard that he was going to date Michelle Trachtenberg. He met her and asked her for her phone number.
When he called, her parents got on the phone and demanded that she never speak to him because he was 42 and she was only nineteen.
So he settled on Katie Holmes...................................

Sorry, but where do you get all this crap from?



Also, Michelle Trachtenberg is hot

I thought this thread was Cruise possesses Katie Holmes. Either way, who gives a good gosh darn.

-HECK!

No, no, and no.



-HECK!

So how did someone form this list? Must be one of his Scientologist buddies.

M.

It'll be interesting to see a "devoted scientologist" and a "hardcore Catholic" get along in future.


My prediction? Not. Very. Well.

Just wait till she starts poppin out those babies, and Tom don't want her to have no drugs, and she has to have them OLD SCHOOL,

and then, afterword, if she gets post partum depression, Tom won't let her have any meds,

then when the kid skins his knee and gets a fever,

NO ASPIRIN, just tough it out.


That's gonna be fun.

What can I say he likes younger, attractive females.

Hey, if thats the standard for going to the nut ward, you all might better lock me up too.

Cause, wow. wow. wow.

Yeah, but you are not a member of the Church of Scientology, this is not your third marriage, you have not had a psychotic encounter with Oprah's couch, you do not have a problem with Psychiatry and lastly, you are not Tom Cruise.

M.

Hey, Mahesh, did you get to see that mpeg I posted earlier in this thread, where tom was zapping oprah with force power?


That cracked me up.

I saw it just now. Funny piece. Reflects his insanity.

Not a bad group of girls. Tom Cruise has taste.

Hmmm, I don't think its neccessary to fight about this ... but:

quote:

NNDB says: "In more than two dozen movies, Rai has never been kissed on screen. "

So she's definately not been kissed in a movie, but in real life, it could be debatable. There is a vague report about a guy who claims to have kissed her feet once ...

She has had a few serious boyfriends, I doubt she has never been kissed. I even doubt she is a virgin.

I can't believe I am talking about celebrities' private lives. It holds no interest for me, but I am still doing it.

M.

You think she's had sex? That's a brave statement. I'd be willing to lesson my belief that she's never been kissed, but sex? I'd like to keep my "good girl" belief for now.

Katie Gets Cold Feet?

Katie Holmes is aparently regretting her premature decision to rush into early matrimony with Tom Cruise and wants to the put the brakes on their wedding plans.

Although Tom has promised to give Katie everything she has ever dreamed of for the wedding, this being her first time down the aisle, Katie has aparently asked for more time to get used to the idea of being married and also to consider her decision to convert to Scientology, more thoroughly.

Tom, backed by the Scientologists, is reportedly pressuring Katie into a shorter engagement and wants to be married as soon as possible. The fact that Tom is not listening to Katie's concerns over their union is also causing Katie's family some worry.

Katie's family support her decsion to take as much time as she needs before agreeing to what should be a life-long committment to both Tom and Scientology and the fact that she may not be getting the time she needs is already starting to cause tension between the couple and her family.

I think Katie's family will talk her out of the wedding and converting to Sceintology until she's 100% sure. But then with Scientoloogy being a cult that never lets anyone out, you've got to wonder if Katie will ever be free again.

If there was no Scientology involved, I'd give it 6 more weeks. But with the cult's backing Tom and Co may have the power to make her stay.

Cruise Hits Saturation Point

We know you must be "so happy" that the "amazing" and "extraordinary" Tom Cruise and the "magnificent" and "special" Katie Holmes are pledging to stay together until death -- PR or otherwise -- parts them. And to help you maintain that good feeling -- and because this is a day ending in "y" -- it's time for the latest doings in the diamond-studded, water-logged world of TomKat.

As Katie, 26, happily shows off the doorknob-sized engagement ring Tom, 42, slipped on her finger Friday night atop the Eiffel Tower, whispers continue that she wasn't the only starlet he had his eye on.

RadarOnline claims that shortly before Cruise began romancing Holmes, he tried to work his e-meter magic on Scarlett Johansson, his then co-star in "Mission: Impossible III," asking her to meet him at the Scientology Centre in Los Angeles for what was ostensibly a business meeting.

"[Cruise] took me into this room, which was stifling hot, and was showing me all kinds of info about joining the church," the 20-year-old It girl is quoted as telling a Radar source. "The whole time he didn't even offer me a cookie!"

The sugar-deprived actress was then allegedly treated to a two-hour crash course on thetans and Xenu, but "politely excused herself" when she realized she was scheduled to dine with several prominent members of the church.

Johansson, who has lately been spied smooching her "Black Dahlia" co-star Josh Hartnett (coincidentally, he was linked to Holmes shortly before her Cruise hook-up), blamed scheduling issues for her decision to opt out of much-delayed J.J. Abrams-directed "M:I" sequel. Her role eventually went to former "Felicity" star Keri Russell.

Us Weekly recently charged that Cruise considered Jessica Alba, Kate Bosworth and Lindsay Lohan before settling on Holmes, a claim the PDA-loving pair has vehemently denied. Scarlett's rep hasn't yet commented on the purported Tom tête-à-tête.

Meanwhile, at the London premiere of "War of the Worlds" Sunday night, some pranksters from a British comedy show decided to throw cold water -- literally -- on the TomKat Amour Tour of 2005.

In what shall forever be known as the day the maniacal laughter died, Cruise fell victim to the old water-pistol-in-the-microphone gag as he unwittingly talked to one of the yuksters on the red carpet.

"Why would you do that?" the dripping star repeatedly snapped at the faux reporter, in the video footage of the incident. "What's so funny about that? It's ridiculous. Do you like thinking less of people, is that it?

When the culprit tried to beat a hasty retreat, Cruise demanded, "Don't run away. That's incredibly rude. I'm here giving you an interview and answering your questions and you do something really nasty."

His conclusion: "You're a jerk -- jerk -- you're a jerk." (For once, we agree -- and sympathize -- with him.)

Tom, to his credit, quickly regained his composure. He toweled off and continued his extended meet-and-greet of the throngs of screaming fans lining Leicester Square. Holmes, who accompanied her newly minted fiancé to the premiere, was not present for the dampening of his perfectly mussed coif.

The BBC reports the four-man TV team was arrested on suspicion of assault, which might seem a bit extreme until you consider the many dangerous substances that could have been loaded into that trick microphone (and no, we don't mean psychiatrist-prescribed drugs). All but one of the men was released on bail Monday.

The crew recently pulled a similar stunt on Sharon Osbourne, who responded with a string of expletives and a retaliatory gesture: She dumped a bucket of water on the mike-wielding perpetrator.

Meanwhile, "War of the Worlds" director Steven Spielberg admits he was a tad miffed that his leading man's frenzied, furniture-pouncing proclamations of Katie lurve on Oprah threatened to overshadow the sci-fi flick.

"I was a little upset," the auteur tells Newsweek. "I was a little upset -- not at Tom, but at the press for making such a big deal out of a kind of small thing. Tom lost his cool because he was deliriously happy, and now he was being punished for his public display of happiness. Tom lives a happy life."

Spielberg also takes issue with those who would doubt the epic love story that is TomKat: "I think what that really says is that people think that the people who make movies are fake: our movies aren't real, and our private lives aren't real. It's all for publicity. I think it's more a commentary on Hollywood than a commentary on Katie and Tom. I really believe that."

Lauren Bacall lashes out at "vulgar" Tom Cruise

BEIJING, Aug. 3 (Xinhuanet) -- Film legend Lauren Bacall, a great woman and sophisticated actress, has a few unkind words to say about Tom Cruise, chiding the well-paid Hollywood star for his“vulgar” behaviour and questioning his acting ability.

In an interview in the Aug. 8 issue of Time magazine, now on newsstands, the 80-year-old actress says, "When you talk about a great actor, you're not talking about Tom Cruise."

"It's inappropriate and vulgar and absolutely unacceptable to use your private life to sell anything commercially, but I think it's kind of a sickness," she said.

Cruise's red-carpet smooches with Holmes and a series of exuberant and very public expressions of love for his new fiance, led to criticism that the once very private star was seeking cheap publicity for his blockbuster movie "War of the Worlds" which was released in June.

Bacall also had some less than complimentary words for Cruise's acting skills as she bemoaned the liberal way labels like "great" and "legend" were sprinkled over Hollywood stars.

Last fall, Bacall made similar remarks about Cruise's ex-wife Nicole Kidman, her co-star in Birth. While promoting the movie, Bacall became irritated when an interviewer described Kidman as a 'legend'. "She's not a legend," Bacall said. "She can't be a legend at whatever age she is. ... You have to be older." Enditem

Does Bacall have anything good to say about anyone?

Tom and Katie plan beach wedding: report

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are reportedly preparing to tie the knot next month on a Mexican beach.

London's Daily Mirror said the couple were planning to wed at the Ritz-Carlton in Cancun.

A source told the tabloid the couple, who recently announced they were expecting a baby, chose the hotel four months ago - long before Katie discovered she was pregnant.

"Tom's old fashioned," the paper reported. "He wants his child to be born in wedlock. He's very romantic and wants everything to be in place before the birth."

"They both decided on the Ritz-Carlton in Cancun as soon as they got engaged and initially were planning on tying the knot around Christmas," the paper quoted the source as saying.

"Katie didn't know that she was pregnant, so their arrangements suddenly had to be scrapped. She didn't realise she would show quite so quickly and she's been getting stressed about the whole idea of walking down the aisle with a bump."

A spokesperson for Tom told the paper: "We've heard the rumours, but no date has been set yet."

Wedding Plans

According to reports in The Sun, the bride's dress will be an Armani vintage satin gown masterpiece.

A friend said: "Tom has a great relationship with Georgio Armani. Most of the clothes you see him and Katie wear come from Armani personally."

And it seems that Tom is putting in a big effort to make sure that Katie has the perfect dress: "Tom asked Georgio to design the dress especially and he has had Katie in for several fittings. It's unusual for the groom to have a say in the dress but he has had a lot of input. It seems Tom has a very clear idea of what he wants for the ceremony."

- The Sun Online

He's gay, of course, he's more interested in the dress

That was a GREAT one, Emma

Oh goddess... I'm bustin' a gut over here!!! HA HA HA HA

Wedding Plans

The Holmes-Cruise couple is said to have decided getting married next month on a beach, because the beautiful soon-to-be bride doesn't want to “walk down to the aisle with a bump”.

According to a source quoted by Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper, "Tom's old fashioned. He wants his child to be born in wedlock. He's very romantic and wants everything to be in place before the birth.

Winfrey Doubted Cruise/Holmes Romance

Talk show host Oprah Winfrey was amazed when Tom Cruise displayed his love for Katie Holmes by jumping euphorically on her sofa -- because she didn't believe the romance was real.

The high-profile couple, who are now engaged and expecting a baby, began dating in April but were immediately accused of orchestrating a publicity stunt to promote their movies, "War of the Worlds" and "Batman Begins."

Winfrey admits she agreed with the critics and was stunned by Cruise's exhibitionist behavior.

She tells "Good Morning America," "It was wilder than it was appearing to me. I was just trying to maintain the truth for myself because I couldn't figure out what was going on. And what I was prepared for was the dance that happens when you're doing celebrities -- when you know they're not going to tell you, but you're going to ask anyway, and then you try asking another way."

"I was not buying -- not buying or not buying. That's why I kept saying 'you're gone, you're really gone'."

- SF Gate

Oprah's not the only. I still don't buy it. Even though Katie has come out against all the claims that it's a publicity relationship, I still think it's all too good to be true. And they say that when something is to good to be true, it usualy isn't true.
