Somebody Popped

Posted by on April 18 at 17:12 PM

The spawn of Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise has been unleashed upon the world. It is a girl, named Suri (meaning “princess” in Hebrew or “red rose” in Persian), weighing 7 pounds, 7 ounces, and measuring 20 inches in length.

To celebrate, Tom Cruise told GQ that he planned to eat the cord and the placenta “right there” after the creature emerged from the silent woman’s Scientologist vagina.

Wow! Brooke Shields also had a pretty baby today.

This thread is crass and stupid.....under the guise of cutsie, trendy, gutter brained humor.

The birth of any baby is reason for all to celebrate, life at its most precious and divine......maybe big D even.

You are frankly writing for the wrong audience. Get job at the National Enquirer.....they might pay for nasty snippets.

Or is it chic for an art critic to just spout off about nothing........persoanlly, I think the Sci. religion is bunk, as is Judism and Mormonism and all the isms.


Your insult is silly rot......one thing the baby will have are two nice parents, well fixed, and genes for beauty for sure.

Pathetic.

Sounds like someone didn't have his placenta this morning!

I back Tom Cruise. You go, Tom Cruise.

Ok, the guy isn't signed up to the pc lifestyle, albeit that this revelation via the media is suspiciously sudden, considering the lenth of the guy's career. Scientology: that's a crime punishable by character assassination? The goose-steppers are too shocked to let the guy evolve his thoughts and live the life he's guaranteed to be able to in this country? And, suddenly, imagine! A Scientologist baby! They reproduce!

What, he's supposed to hang out with you at your house and watch cable with you, you know, to make sure it's all on the up and up? Scientology is a CULT? Isn't that what Faloon Gong is if you're doing it in China? And Quakers, a cult too, right? Herbal Medicine, organic produce, both suspicious and dubious, relatively, right? Maybe he's just independent and confident.

It seems like the press is mostly happy to be whipping up on somebody new. Some killer content. To me, the press has egg on their face. Eggs, yum.

Even if it's not made up and he eats the cord and placenta, aren't you frigging impressed? Not my mouthful of tea by any means; I'd prefer liver and bacon, but I say go for it Tom Cruise.

Placenta is to be savored in the evening.

With fava beans and a nice Chianti. . .

In all fairness, shouldn't Katie have first dibs on the placenta?

Feel free to name another religion or cult that requires you to pay tens of thousands of dollars before you can even find out what it's about.

Not to mention as aggressively fascist in its attempts to silence critics.

how much of a bummer is it to have tom cruise as your dad?? dude is creepy.

In all fairnes - lots of ground beef and pig placenta ground up in hot dogs, salami, and other delights.

Oh, maybe not the placenta. just the uterus.

Any one who thinks Tom Cruise is creepy needs to look in the mirror for advanced visions of the creep.

His movies are banal, he is handsom, smiling and belong to a cult. Who cares? Creepy, huh. I think the warmongers are creepy and the baby rapers........etc. Phony movie stars are just boring.

What is there to creep about? Your own interest in a minor celebrity is really creepy.

Creepers folks, The Chinese Emperor was here today.
And you all are shipwrecked over placenta? I think that part is ahoax anyway.

Cruises' publicist is suely not a creeep, more like a genius. Fished you all in once again.

I think the story is pretty boring and really wouldn't waste my time with it if it wasn't for the placenta eating thing, which I found fascinating. From the Independent online yesterday I learned that it's common in some cultures for the placenta to be eaten. One British cheflebrity in fact cooked a placenta on his show and served a portion of it to the parents. My partner's friend and her sister both buried their placentas after their children were born under a tree that they planted in their back yards. I learned something new yesterday.

this is officially my all-time most hated thread on the slog.

Hail Xenu!

There can never be enough threads about the joke that is Scientology and its celebrity shock troops.

I need an auditing session.

To think that years ago, Tom Cruise was a heart-throb.
