Tom Cruise is "old-fashioned"
http://www.salon.com/ent/col/fix/2005/10/14/fri/index.html


"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."


Yep! He wants his child to be born "in wedlock" because that's the kind of old-fashioned guy he is! Does anyone else see the problem here?



Oh, and another thing - you can't be romantic unless you're "old-fashioned"?????


I hate this kind of crap. I don't know why I even look at this bit on Salon, but this time, I decided to spread the misery. Enjoy!

4. People just see what they want to see, don't they?
I think his publicist said this. I wonder if she even realized how stupid it is.

5. His sister the publicist?
Cruise used to be represented by one of the most powerful PR women in Hollywood. Then he fired her and gave the job to his sister.

Once Sis took over, we got to enjoy a whole string of PR disasters: the public bitching at Brooke Shields, the famous meltdown on Oprah, etc. etc.

I still haven't seen anything as funny as the slag when he was dating Penelope Cruz. IIRC, a bunch of movie critics voted Cruz "the most unwelcome Spanish export since the Inquisition."

9. Interesting. And the bit about Penelope Cruz makes me cringe.
Actually, the "old-fashioned" statement comes from an "unidentified source".

6. Actually "old-fashioned" used to mean conceiving the child
after the wedding, didn't it?

8. my thoughs exactly. He sort of missed the boat on that one.
It might also mean only 1 wedding per lifetime.

11. This is the best advice I've received in a long, long time!
I have been working too hard, excercising too little, eating too much stuff on the go and have been indoors ENTIRELY too much!

Thanks for the eye-opener! :think:
