Another day, another crazy Tom Cruise story.
Oh Lord....

TOM CRUISE has given his pregnant fiancee KATIE HOLMES a unique 27th birthday present - a DVD compendium of every movie he has acted in.

The WAR OF THE WORLDS star, 43, decided there was no better gift for his wife-to-be than a full history of his long and fruitful career.

A source tells British newspaper the Daily Express, "Each was inscribed with a special handwritten love message to the future mother of his child."

That has to be one of the most insulting gifts she could have received.I would have been insulted if I was her (and thank goodness I'm not)

Here's a man who, it can be safe to say, is in a situation where money is no object...and he gets her his films on DVD??!!??

8. They should make a sequel
called "Lost It" set in the modern day. Just put together recent interviews of his wide-eyed rants.

4. I wonder what love messages he wrote on "Eyes Wide Shut"...
..."Far and Away" and "Days of Thunder"

Or maybe he just paid to have Katie's head photoshopped over Nicole's face

19. Narcissism is precisely what it is.
Its not enough that he has wacko beliefs, he's a narcissist too.

RUN KATIE, RUN!

12. Why not? Many people give gifts they made themselves.
That aside, I couldn't think of anything more tedious than having to sit through all his movies...

15. Narcissistic, but also god damned cheap.
Edited on Mon Jan-16-06 02:23 PM by philosophie_en_rose
A heartfelt gift does not have to cost any money at all. However, how thoughtful is it to pull a bunch of DVD swag off of your shelf?

How would he react if he received an autographed copy of Dawson's Creek? (which is in many ways superior to some of Cruise's swill).

but I wouldn't trust a single thing written in that vile, racist, fear-mongering piece of shit The Daily Express.

When things turn bad, those DVDs are going to be the first things to get thrown at ol' Tom.

27. God, I hope Tom Cruise never visits Bumfukt, Egypt and
farts sideways. I don't want to hear about his wacky insanity. It's not even the cool kind or interesting kind of insanity. I can't wait until he gets interesting. Waiting. I mean he's definitely losing it, so it's only a matter of time. Will keep checking until I hit the floor laughing.

Oh, and what he did there is akin to pompuous vanity. What a vain sonova... to do that.

With a love note attached to each one, that would have been cheap but sweet. This is just cheap and insane.
