Hollywood actor Tom Cruise is planning to eat his new baby's placenta, it emerged today.
It is the latest in a series of unusual revelations by the 43-year-old Mission Impossible star about the child he is expecting with fiancee Katie Holmes.
He told GQ magazine: "I'm gonna eat the placenta. I thought that would be good. Very nutritious. I'm gonna eat the cord and the placenta right there."
Cruise has also claimed he knew actress Holmes, 27, was pregnant, even before she told him.
A follower of Scientology, he has defended the religion's belief that women should give birth in silence.
"It's really about respecting the woman. It's not about her not screaming," he has told GQ.
Cruise, who also believes he can cure drug addicts, plans to marry Holmes in the summer. He said earlier this month that their baby was due "any day now".
OMG, where I grew up they used to tease new fathers about eating the "after birth", but they were TEASING. Geez, Tom, if you grew up in my neighborhood, (Sam Kennison voice) IT WAS JUST A F__KING JOKE.
I agree. I think Katie should get the h**l out of there.
Where is her lawyer Dad?
Hey, maybe Cruise could have Katie give birth while strapped down to the wing while in flight, he walks out on the wing ala Mission Impossible to retrieve the baby AND placenta, slips the newborn infant into a parachute to send it on down to paramedics waiting below at Scientology headquarters, and he can snack on the placenta on his way back to the airport, and by that time, Katie will have screamed herself out and all Cruise has left to do is to belch, fart and go home to take a nap.
Say, maybe *I* should be writing for South Park eh? ;)
This guy is one sick dude.
I wonder how many people are going to be so excited about going to see any more of his movies after reading this?
I wonder what Steven Spielberg will think after reading this? Hello, Stevie, please ditch this jerk.
He prays to him everynight.
How about Mo-Ron.
I still think it's like he's marrying his sister. Dam, he had Nicole and couldn't make her happy. Then he's talkin placenta, what's next? Spleen? Toenails? This is just too damn weird for me.
Old man lying by the side of the road
With the lorries rolling by,
Blue moon sinking from the weight of the load
And the building scrape the sky,
Cold wind ripping down the allay(sic) at dawn
And the morning paper flies,
Dead man lying by the side of the road
With the daylight in his eyes.
Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning,
Find someone who's turning
And you will come around.
I'M TRYING TO EAT BREAKFAST!
And what's he gonna eat it for? Katie should, she's the one who had to spend so much energy carrying the baby.
Quick, someone permanently kill this guys career so we don't have to hear from him ever again.
This guy is a weirdo, thats for sure.
I suspect that Cruises true problem is that he is gay and *someone* insists that he keeps up the hetero image for his movie deals, or whatever.
I will not see another movie that he is in. He 'jumped the couch' a long time ago.
This is beneath sick. Cruise is a democRat, right?
Certainly.

Rubber room time for this looney.
What is Katie thinking??
You assume she is thinking at all.

And to think this Hollywood idiot has more followers and influence than any other public entity. Hollywood is the guiding light for liberals and the RAT party. It is just a matter of time until people outside the glitterati will be doing likewise. Just another alternative lifestyle for which he was born.
I think that Katie fell in *luv*, and stopped thinking a while back.
Poor girl.
One reason to encourage the spread of the new media is the fact that it destroys Hollywood's monopoly - films and music will be produced at home and distributed on the internet, stealing their audience.
The likes of Tom Cruise will be consigned to the dustbin of history.

What are you trying to do? Make dessert for this fruit of the loom?
I've always believed this entire Katie & baby thing is simply for publicity and to promote MI3.
