I now refuse to give Cruise any benefit of the doubt about his sanity
Maybe this is one of those times when it's gotta be true, even coming from a fascist dictatorship. Like stopped clocks being right twice a day, or trains running on time etc.
Meh - I've said all I will about placentophagy. Yes, it's icky, no, it's not unusual.
Cruise and Holmes are professed followers of the Church of Scientology.
So they got Katie to convert?
Hmmm, I know scientist-types don't typically change their last names after marriage (I believe that a larger percentage adds a name rather than changes), but does anyone know the split (change/no-change) in actors?

Unless it's the mother eating the placenta, which I know "happens", I'd consider the father devouring it post-birth to be pretty damn unusual — unless you're Tom Cruise, I suppose.
Isn't it sort of canabalistic, since all those cells are human cells?
Would that make eating dead skin canabalistic? What if you could order dried, flaked off skin of 3rd-worlders for cheap? Would that then be canabalistic?
Perhaps if we could, that guy who killed and tried to eat a 10 year old girl wouldn't have done it.
If Katie Holms had miscarried would he still have wanted to eat the placenta? Perhaps the fetus as well?
Alright, that's about the grossest comment I think of.
Not only that, but you're eating cells that are genetically identical to the birthed child. It's like eating your son or daughter's dying identical twin.
Tom Cruise is a highly overrated, blatant moron of epic proportion. Katie must be brainwashed to be with him. He is an egomaniacal know-it-all conceited asshole, who plays Tom Cruise in every movie he has ever made. He's as bad as Dubya.
He's not even that good looking, when you look close. What's with that bulb at the end of his too long nose? and can't he spend the money to have his teeth align with the center of his face?
I think he's spent his whole life trying to align his teeth with the center of his face. I mean, they're the only thing holding him back from upper level Thetancy, right?
