ROCK'N
Apparently Tom Cruise popped the question to Katie Holmes atop the Eiffel Tower this morning. Well, we all know what the IN TOUCH, etc., headlines will be next week. In other "engaging" news, I had an "almost" celebrity sighting today...seems that Trisha Yearwood (recently engaged to Garth Brooks) was at Albertson's showing off her new ring -- and presumably stocking up on groceries -- shortly before I popped in for my chicken-caesar-salad-and-garbage-magazine fix.

Am I the only person who just wishes that these two would just go away, already? You'd think their publicists would say to themselves "Damn. Nobody's falling for it. Everyone is starting to think they're both crazy. Abort! Abort!"
But no. Every day, more insanity. I want people to go back to talking about more important topics, like Brangelina, and how skanky Jessica Simpson is getting.
I know I wish they would go away. Some insane romantic part of me thinks "that would be great if they were really THAT in love" but then there are all the rumors about his "girlfriend auditions" and the weird Scientology thing. IT'S A CULT, PEOPLE!
I am also sick of Brad and Angelina. He is not all that (I never have understood the obsessions with Cruise OR Pitt) and Angelina is just skanky. But Jessica...I like her. She may be dumb as a stone, but she is beautiful AND she can sing. I did see the new video today and...well...it's just TOO much.
What bothers me about it is that this is what a lot of people do. They "think" they're in love, but really they're still just in that infatuation stage. There's actually psychology charts about the stages of love. I'm sure you're aware of this, ET. I'm pretty sure there are definite times on the first few stages, too.
True. And is Katie is so "magnificent" then how come Tom keeps trying to change her? (Insert appropriate infant/diaper joke here) I mean, so far he is converting her to Scientology (SCARY!!!), has a Scientologist following her around in the guise of some personal assistant type thing, and she is allegedly changing management and turning down roles where characters use medications. At least Nicole had a mind of her own...this one is young and infatuated enough to puppet around -- but when she grows up there will be hell to pay! And honestly, WHY do they need to get married before he starts shooting his next movie? Seems like a nice long engagement would at least be in order here.
The other really dumb thing that actors do is "fall in love" on the set. Hello...YOU ARE PLAYING CHARACTERS IN A MOVIE! It's not real life! (Brad and Angelina!) But more often than not, you will see failed pairings where "so-and-so and so-and-so fell in love while shooting Movie X." I understand that you are having to spend a lot of time with the person during filming, but given those standards anyone would just "fall in love" with anyone else that they were forced to spend a lot of time with. And it hardly ever works out. Look at Meg Ryan. She left Dennis Quaid for Russell Crowe, who ultimately dumped her and married someone else. She killed her marriage, her image, and -- pretty much -- her career to shag some Australian guy with money and anger issues. Good job Meg!
