Risky Business

I know this is old news by now, but apparently Katie Holmes is pregnant with Tom Cruise's child. Everyone, everywhere is up in arms about this. They aren't married yet! Wasn't she waiting for marriage? He's crazy! She can barely breathe during childbirth because she's a Scientologist!..you get the idea.

But for me, all of these questions take a backseat to the one BIG question that's been bothering me since I heard the news:

HOW?!

Am I the only one who remembers that Tom Cruise was famous for not being able to have kids?! It is allegedly the reason his first marriage to the considerably older, biologically clock ticking actress Mimi Rogers fell apart. Then he married Nicole and they adopted...because he couldn't have kids. This is also, incidentally, part of what sparked the rumor that he was gay. That the not having kids thing was a smokescreen just becase he wasn't having sex...with women anyway.

Not that it is any of my business, but now Katie is pregnant and I just don't understand. Did the Scientologists work some high tech voodoo in order to make this happen? Is this another virgin birth! Is Tom Cruise really Jesus? Inquiring minds want to know!

In the meantime I suppose the message is this. If you have been told you are infertile, just think of TomKat and remember all hope is not lost.

By the way, this is also reason #666 to join the Church of Scientology.
