Tom Cruise has already claimed to know the history of psychiatry. Now he's working on getting acquainted with OB/GYN.
The couch-jumping thesp has acquired a sonogram machine with which to personally track the progress of the fetus currently incased in his fiancee Katie Holmes' womb.
Cruise revealed the purchase during an interview with Barbara Walters taped Oct. 30 for the veteran newswoman's upcoming special, Barbara Walters Presents: The 10 Most Fascinating People of 2005, scheduled to air Tuesday on ABC. "I bought a sonogram machine," Cruise told Walters. "I am going to donate it to a hospital when we are done."
Somewhat startled, Walters replied, "Wait, you are going to do your own sonogram?"
"Yes," Cruise replied, chuckling.
Sonogram machines, which use ultrasound waves to monitor a baby's development, can cost anywhere from $15,000 to $200,000. No word on how much Cruise shelled out to purchase his own.
Cruise told Walters he did not yet know the sex of his first genetic offspring.
"Barbara, I would tell you," he said. "I would say, 'I know if it's a boy or a girl, and I'm not telling you.' "
"So what do you see?" Walters asked. "A little baby," the actor replied.
Fascinating, indeed.
The War of the Worlds star also told Walters that he and Holmes would wait to get married until after their child's birth, though it's unclear exactly when that blessed event may occur.
"We are going to get married next summer or early fall," he told Walters. "We don't have a date set yet."
The affianced duo recently departed for Shanghai, where they'll spend a couple of weeks while Cruise films scenes for Mission: Impossible 3.
According to the Shanghai Daily's Website, Cruise and Holmes have been taking in the local sights, including the Chenghuang Temple, a resort featuring old-style architecture, as well as dining heartily on Sichuan cuisine.
Queer Eye for the Unborn Guy.
..uh, it's not like they can't afford it now, or don't have the time.
IMO, they're waiting to see if it's OK...(sad, sad statement, I know, but I don't think this couple of yoyo's have two brain cells put together!)---Why else would they wait????
They truly disgust me...and I believe this woman has been literally brainwashed!!
..and given all the rumors of his sexual proclivity, why in the world did Nichole stay with him all those years....
..(I think I'm naive)!!
(or did you forget the sarcasm tag?)
No, I'm waiting for someone to provide me with some facts on Cruise that justify the bashing here. Until then, aside from the Scientology thing, what's Tom done to anyone here?
I would never use the term myself to shame a child.
I would never call a child that directly-it's not the child's fault that it's parents cared so little for it that they do not consider a potential child's welfare before their own selfish needs.
You asked, I told you. It isnt about his divorce, it isnt about his belonging to a stupid cult.
HE DISSED THE USA.
Now he can leave and no one cares.
He is on my KMA club. It appears he is on a lot of folks KMA club.
His boyish looks and pleasant smile make him attractive to women until they see he is a midget. Not many women want to literally look down at their date.
Ohhh ... I read the title too fast and thought Cruise was a "Gunsmoke" fan who was interested in Festus :).
Ken Curtis is offended.
And what harm has his personal beliefs caused anyone here, is he not entitled to freedom of religion like other citizens?
And why are you deriding his stature? FReepers come in all shapes and sizes, too. Are fat FReepers or short FReepers lesser people, have you the physique of Joe Weider?
Are FReepers now like Liberals, making personal ad-hominem attacks on people we disagree with?
CHRISTmas is approaching, the time of year for peace on Earth and Goodwill toward men. Matthew 7:1, let's get with the program.
Your theory is the most plausible -- and the most terrifying.
I suppose you are right, it does seem mean spirited to attack Scientologists... but its so much FUN !!
""I suppose you are right, it does seem mean spirited to attack Scientologists... but its so much FUN !!""
To paraphrase Lary, The Cable Guy...
"It's more fun that watching midgets run track."
Considering that John Travolta quietly flew into New Orleans on his private jet full of relief supplies for Katrina victims, without any look-at-me media fanfare or Bush-bashing comments, I shouldn't jump on his belief systems, albeit different from mine. I didn't see Falwell or Roberts do the same, though I'm sure either of them could afford to do so.
You heard it here first!
