Tom Cruise Is Creepy

Only very loosely related to the subject of weight, but here:

"The couple have postponed their marriage ceremony until late next year, to leave the actress time to lose weight following the birth of their first child together. When asked if he plans to wait until their big day to see Holmes' bridal gown, Cruise is adamant he wants to approve the dress before the ceremony. He says, 'I want to see the dress.'"

God forbid Tom Cruise doesn't micromanage every little detail of this wedding. I'm sure he'll be yelling instructions at her every day. "You must be thinner on our wedding day, woman! Thinner! Put down that baby and get on that treadmill! Run! Run away from the Thetans! RUN!"

Also, you can now rate this site on blogrankings.com, but I'm not quite sure what that means!

That just pisses me off!!! What is it with these men who want to control their wives or girlfriends? I should know - I went from a controlling father straight to a controlling ex-husband. Ugh!

Ok - I feel better now! :-)

Tom C. is a nutcase. Her poor (Catholic) parents must be mortified! I'm mortified! Poor girl....

He's meeting many of the "warning signs" for an abusive partner. All the controlling strangeness and concern with appearance.

I took my husband to the bridal shop to show him the dress I liked before I bought it, because sometimes our tastes don't match up. But it was MY idea, not his lordly decree that he had to "approve" my dress. Also, I was modeling a size 10 sample, and I'm a size 16, and I knew he'd forget the details in the intervening months!

OK, I've got the "signs of an abusive partner" saved, unfortunately it comes in handy sometimes. It's from a "Dear Abby" column, lets see how many Mr Cruise is matching (my sarcastic comments in italics)...

(1) PUSHES FOR QUICK INVOLVEMENT: Comes on strong, claiming "I've never felt loved like this by anyone." An abuser pressures the new partner for an exclusive commitment almost immediately. Quick involvement...HOW long had they known each other before being soooooo in luuuurve?

(2) JEALOUS: Excessively possessive; calls constantly or visits unexpectedly; prevents you from going to work because "you might meet someone"; checks the mileage on your car.

(3) CONTROLLING: Interrogates you intensely (especially if you're late) about whom you talked to and where you were; keeps all the money; insists you ask permission to go anywhere or do anything.

(4) UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS: Expects you to be the perfect mate and meet his or her every need.

#s 2,3,4: yes, yes and HELL YES (in particular, note the whole "so she can loose weight" thing)

(5) ISOLATION: Tries to cut you off from family and friends; accuses people who are your supporters of "causing trouble." The abuser may deprive you of a phone or car, or try to prevent you from holding a job. Didn't La Holmes vanish for 2 weeks and reappear deeply in lurve with Mr Cruise?

(6) BLAMES OTHERS FOR PROBLEMS OR MISTAKES: It's always someone fault if something goes wrong.

(7) MAKES OTHERS RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS OR HER FEELINGS: The abuser says, "You make me angry," instead of, "I am angry," or says, "You're hurting me by not doing what I tell you."

(8) HYPERSENSITIVITY: Is easily insulted, claiming hurt feelings when he or she is really mad. Rants about the injustices of things that are just a part of life.

#s 6, 7, and 8 seem to be covered by the whole post partum depression Brooke Shields bashing incident.

(12) RIGID SEX ROLES: Expects you to serve, obey, remain at home.

I think Mr Cruise is doing a bit of "expecting rigid sex roles" by pulling this whole master & commander nonsense about their wedding. The man must be in control etc etc. 9-11 and 13-15 are much more scary and hardcore, so I deleted them out. They're things like "kicks puppies" and "calls you names", so far we have not seen him do this!
