In yet another effort to make all of us heathens grasp this whole “silent birth” thing, Tom Cruise is appearing on ABC’s “Primetime” tonight with Diane Sawyer. Cruise is apparently going to dispel all the rumors swirling around himself, his religion, basically whatever Sawyer isn’t too chicken to ask him.

Of particular interest, of course, is the traditional Scientologist birth.

"It's basically just respecting the mother, you know, and helping to be quiet -- not the mother. The mother makes as much noise ... you know, she's going through it," he said. "But why have other people make noise? You know, you want that area very calm and to make it very special."

And Cruise dismissed the claim, which some say is consistent with Scientology, that Holmes would not be given any drugs during the birth even if she needed them.

"She does what she's gotta do, OK? ...We're there you know, with doctors," he said. "Whatever the woman wants. I'm not gonna tell Kate ...you know, if she needs an epidural, she's gonna get her epidural."



Personally, I deem it birthing for the batshit insane, but you know... If Sawyer can sort out Scientology for me, someone give her a medal or a vitamin or something, because this Cruise/Holmes/Scientology media onslaught is giving me a teensy weensy headache and I know I am not the only one.

Is it me, or does she look scared? O crap, I canÂ’t judge. I donÂ’t know the history of fearÂ….but I bet TomÂ’s newborn might!

Thanks. I had no idea this was going to be on. I am compelled to check it out.

PS Diane Sawyer never seemed very bright to me. I don't have much faith that she's going to sort this out for us.

a friend pointed out to me that the babies of TomKat and Bradgelina are destined to fight it out in an end times like battle that will destroy all humans, if not all other species as well.
I pointed out, that there is an alternative prophesy that the baby of Saaarsgenhaaal will save us all... robot

yes but I've had a long day and am very high.

if this is tomkats first then she'll be screaming like a banshee even with the epidural and he'll keel over from the fumes ....

I hope it gets televised.

Actually the whole thing seems kind of normal... they want the birth to be calm for the kid--makes sense to me; they understand that the mom doesn't have to follow fucking rules like "keep quiet" when she is having a kid--makes sense to me; he acknowledges that whatever drugs she needs to take she will--makes sense to me.

So what exactly did he say that was wrong in the quoted section?

Edit: I think Cruise is as crazy as anyone does, what I was suprised by in this was how level headed he seemed. Did someone re-hire his old publicist?

I was suprised by that too. although I think he's still looney tunes, and I find his apparent disregard for the sanctity of the english language grating, to put it mildly

my mom didn't have an epidural during any of her births?

how is that "bat shit insane", women had been doing it for hundreds of thousands of years?

what i think is "bat shit insane" is how much press this cult is getting. We are validating it's existence by paying attention to it. I'm actually really excited to watch the birth of a new religion. Hopefully one day it can go to bat with the big three. Maybe they'll build a wall around hollywood and start bombing compton. wink

Don't mock, I knew a guy who would put "n'stuff" at the beginning, middle and end of a sentence. I swear he once said to me, and I quote:

n'stuff... n'stuff n'stuff


no, he wasn't kidding. That made sense to him.

But Tom Cruise makes no sense to anyone. Everyone, don't watch him, don't see his movies, stop making him believe his God or whatever likes him by granting him celebrity. If I marry and my wife has a child (I think too many would get mad if I say Me and my wife) has a child I don't give a fuck what my church, a celebrity or even her mother's said... we're gonna listen to the doctor, do what the doctor says is right and not tell him to shut the fuck up during the birth.

Everything everyone has been saying about a Scientologist birth is wrong? Cruise now sets us straight. Think now people... granted I've never been present at a birth, but who the fuck talks, says anything BESIDES the pain-filled mother?! Hell, no one talks, so each of us was born the Scientologist way.


I feel a new name will be added to Operation: Deathstrike

Obligitory LermaNet and Operation Clambake linkage.

This cult isn't getting enough press. I wish they would disappear from lack of attention, but the reality is that if no one were to pay attention, they would be even more free to pull all the evil, underhanded shit that they do.

I lost all respect for Katie Holmes when I learned she was dating Tom Cruise. Then they got married and now having a kid.
Anyone willing to marry Tom Cruise has to be pretty fucked up in the head.
That puts Katie on the pcysho chick list.

I find it odd that Tom Cruise rallys against drugs, because drugs actually explain him better than anything else.

He rails loudest against the kind of drugs that would actually fix him, unfortunately.

There are drugs that make you accept the fact that you're gay?

I really like how the family is paying such careful attention to the experience of birthing the child, as if that's going to make the slightest difference in the child's life. That kid has been a tabloid cover, side-show, box office attraction since the moment of conception. The first thing it sees when it comes out of the womb will likely be a camera. Its whole life is going to be a soul crushing series of magazine covers, Entertainment Tonight spots, and really, really awkward moments between mom and dad after they inevitably become estranged.

I feel really, really bad for it.
