mission impossible
Wolfson posted this link in a thread over at unfogged, and it seemed interesting enough to pass along. The gist of it: Tom Cruise may carry a genetic defect that could/has affected his ability to give his wives viable pregnancies. Don't follow the link to the photos on that metafilter post if you're easily upset.
If this is true, it's sad. It kind of takes the wind out of the sails of my Cruise-hatred, delicately balanced as it is between intense loathing for a Scientology advocate and sympathy for a guy who appears to have had a pretty tough first act.
Here's hoping that Cruise isn't the father, and that Holmes was artificially inseminated with L. Ron Hubbard's frozen sperm in an elaborate church ceremony. Not only would this be entirely plausible, it'd also go a long way to bringing moral clarity back to my homicidal hatred of celebrity culture.

Yeah, this sucks. I wrote a post very much like this and didn't post it, because I thought people would still be nasty to Cruise, and that wouldn't be nice in this case.
It's not going to be any fun trying to hate on Travolta.
No, it's not. Travolta's still a dope for believing in the CoS nonsense, but he actually has an aversion to the church hierarchy's incredible corruption, and tried to create a less obviously evil splinter sect back in the 80s. The rumor is that the church threatened to out him as gay using information collected in auditing sessions, and he fell back into line (and very shortly thereafter announced his engagement to Kelly Preston, who was already a scientologist).
So there are problems with belittling him, too. Jenna Elfman may be the highest-profile target we have left. Which is pretty sad.
Beck? Keep in mind that Guero was a disappointment.
true. but he doesn't seem to have reached the point where he's trying to convert others. it's like the difference between a drug dealer and a drug user.
