either the day or day after or very very close to the day she divorced Tom.

She comes on to wild applause and cheering and after it all settles down Dave asks "So......what's new?"


and she smirks for a second and says "Well, I can wear heels again."




And I have loved her ever since.

"F*#& it, I'm not taking this crap anymore"? He's going to have to go still younger to find someone gullible enough to fall for it.

I speak from experience, I guess. Happily divorced at 33 and even more happily remarried 5 years later.

Just something tells me it's so.

I got the impression he left Kidman because she wouldn't commit enuf to his weird scientology brain disease.

He found out about how the rich behave behind close doors.

I can't think what the name of the movie was, it was creepy.

There were high expectations. Unrealized, as it turned out.

As far as I'm concerned, it was just a sex flick with famous people.

20. i hear he turned those kids against Nicole

the older daughter is now an adult and moved out and talking to nicole again.

and i think the divorce was partly because nicole didn't want the kids involved in scientology . the older daughter is with a guy now who is a scientologist and Tom Cruise is really happy about it.

maybe the kids will write a tell all book one day. i feel like there will be a lot of weird stuff about Cruise to tell, but i also feel that i wouldn't be surprised by it.
