Katie Holmes: Babe of the week #35 (Aug. 2011)

[Asbo Zaprudder]

Erm, let's have some context. She's acting there -- you know that thing that actors do for a living.

As for the Scientology, well they believe some really wacky things -- but then so do Christians and the rest. Heck, I find quantum theory believable and that's way wackier. Thumbs up.

And I can't really hold the marrying Tom Cruise thing against her. Weird and ew, but she was 8 when Top Gun came out.

Wait, you can't hold marrying into a crazy, neo-fascist "religion" who does all kinds of bad things to people trying to leave the club (and their kids) against her?
What did I miss?
You seriously need to read up on Scientology. They're not just like any other "religion" believing into "wacky" things.

Anyone who doesn't give her a thumbs up has a screw loose.

I think it's her who's got a few loose screws.

Uppish. Cute as hell, hot bod, but points off for the wackaloon aspect.

But you have no problem with the even bigger age gaps between Kevin Costner and his wife, Dennis Quaid and his wife, or Warren Beatty and Annette Bening?

And you presume to know this how exactly? I've never commented on those pairings even in my real life, let alone on this board. Can't say I've ever cared enough about any of those people to have an opinion one way or the other but if pressed, yeah, I think that's creepy, too.

She still has that cute factor. She played a cute drunk in a Dawson's Creek episode

Repulsive. Thumbs down.

[Admiral2]

Sideways. Not a sexpot.

Which is why you never got on your soap box in the Catherine Bell thread?

Eh, I know Scientology's really fucked up (yay SeeView! or whatever it's called), but people marry other people for all kinds of reasons. And a young woman being courted by a famously rich international sex symbol? I mean, I'd have the same reaction if, say... Demi Moore had gone after Ashton Kutcher (). Maybe it's not right and is overly kind of me, but that's how I see it.

Besides, she'll still really cute.

They weren't critiquing that picture, they were saying "you guys saying bad things about Katie Holmes are making her cry" in a humorous manner.

[Holdfast]

Great great figure, especially her legs. Thumbs way up.

Heh, I must have been annoyed by the comparison with Droopy. In the cold light of day, I can't really get worked up about the issue, and I wonder why I even bothered to comment.

I don't really know Catherine Bell and I usually just visit this thread for shits and giggles to read Yoda's or other people's nitpicking about perfectly attractive girls.

Wow, really?
Your point was she was 8 when Top Gun came out. So marrying a batshit crazy guy who's part of a very crazy sect is alright if he's rich, famous and was hot when you were 8? Letting her kids grow up within that sect, too?

I mean, seriously? That's as shallow as it gets, sorry.

Also: You'd have the same reaction?
Kestrel is now 80% less cool.

Ouch!

But that is pretty shallow I'll admit. I guess that's one area of cynicism - those who have lots of money, lots of charisma, lots of physical beauty, and who have become idolized by lots of people tend to be able to sway others to do things they ought not to. It's not as though there isn't precedent for this... throughout history. So nah, I won't hold it against her more than anybody else who falls for that bullshit. And from a cult that specifically goes after celebrities too. Maybe I misspoke before and it's not alright - but understandable? People fall in love and get married for all kinds of reasons; it wouldn't be the first brainwashing in Hollywood.
