Celebrity Train Wreck
I have an idea for a new TV series called Celebrity Train Wreck. Every week will feature celebrities doing stupid things despite the fact that everyone else in the world can clearly see the train wreck ahead. Relationships would be a popular theme since celebrities seem to do more impulsive or stupid things than regular people, or at least they get better media coverage. Think of Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley. Heck, Britney Spears' Vegas marriage didn't even last long enough to be a real train wreck. Here's the sort of thing I had in mind:

Next week on Celebrity Train Wreck: After a whirlwind romance, will this Top Gun leave his "magnificent"* young beauty up Dawson's Creek without a paddle?
In yet another fast-paced, very public celebrity relationship, Tom Cruise (a man I have always loathed, even before he stole Nicole from me) and Katie Holmes (an adorable woman with the mental powers of a coffee table) are now engaged. When a 26-year-old gets engaged after a few months of dating, there's a good chance that a train wreck is somewhere up ahead. I also find it interesting that Cruise was married to a woman six years older (Mimi Rogers) followed by a woman five years younger (Nicole Kidman), and now he's engaged to a woman 16 years younger. By the time he is 60, he might be married to a seven-year-old (my wife thinks that is sick, but she allows that I may be right).

This news comes hot on the heels of Holmes' announcement that she is getting into $cien+ology. Like I said, she has the mental powers of a coffee table, albeit a cute one. Then again, I never thought Cruise was a genius either, even before he got into his "religion." So maybe they will live happily ever after. Or maybe it's just Cruise's latest attempt to quash those endless gay rumors.

* Cruise has used this adjective several times to describe Holmes. For some reason, this strikes me as an odd word to describe anyone who isn't a magician.

It's about time someone has given a great opinion about Tom Cruise. I'm getting very sick and tired of him talking about his so-called Scientology religion and that chemical drugs are bad. Hey, it's those drugs that keep this country sane today. I think Tom Cruise should keep his big fat mouth shut and keep his opinions to himself. Heck, his last movie wasn't even worth the hype! *LOL*
