ROFLMBO!

Tom was totally over the top but, if this is a publicity stunt, then he deserves another Oscar for the "performance." I guess I'm the only one who thought it seemed genuine.

I think Tom is a great actor. He always seems so cool in the movies, but so dorky in interviews. His dorkiness really topped all previous dorkiness today, though. Wow- I was embarassed for him.

I decided to watch this today instead of Ellen. The first few minutes were so :eek: that I couldn't stop watching.

What is going on with this dude? I sat here for most of the show asking, "WTF?" I mean, seriously, jumping on sofas? And what was up with the "thinking man" pose?

Did anyone else notice that Katie kept telling him, "I love you?" I don't think I ever saw him say it back to her. I have a feeling Katie is star struck. And Tom, well, he likes the fact that she's a young one.

That was just too sugary sweet. I had to keep changing the channel. In a way, it did seem like it was genuine. FOr some odd reason, Tom kept reminding me of Wil Truman from Wil and Grace during that interview. I wonder if Chris Klein tuned in?

See, I'm the opposite here. I find Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas kind of icky together (she can do so much better!), to say nothing of Lara Flynn Boyle and Jack Nicholson (when they are together. total ick!) But this doesn't creep me out at all. Maybe it's because Tom Cruise is hot and I'd date him if he asked me. :D (yeah, I'd make an exception to the 7 years in either direction rule and the men-with-kids rule for him!)

You should see what some people are saying on the Oprah.com message boards. One post in particular calls him a pedophile and a male Mary Kay LeTourneau. I think it has been deleted from that board but you can read it here.

This whole thing reminds me of a quote from my Latin book:

"I don't think anyone knows I love her because I haven't done anything foolish yet"

Even the ancient Roman guys went nuts when they fell in love.

i missed oprah, but caught a smidgen of interview to be aired tonite that they played this am on the today show. i have never seen anyone so giddy as tom cruise was in that interview. it was so bizarre-he went on and on like i would expect a teenybopper to gush if she met orlando bloom. i couldn't help but think that this all came about because he wanted to get back in the media spotlight. i mean, how many other people would be able to garner all this attention just because they started dating someone? weird, weird, weird!!

This isn't the first time this has happened on Oprah.

Does anyone remember when Ellen and Anne Heche were on the show? Anne comes out and is all gushing over Ellen, saying how much she was in love with her, and she was so happy, and this was love at first sight and it was meant to be. And then months later, they were split up and Anne Heche was dating some guy.

They are using Oprah as a media platform because they know how many people watch her show and they know it's a great way tom plug their movies.

I bet Nicole Kidman and Mimi Rogers were just shaking their heads.

FREE KATIE (lol)
 

I agree with the skeptics, I think its a Hollywood sham to plug their movies. :o

Re: FREE KATIE (lol)
 

Totally in agreement with ya!

Haha, this isht gets crazier and crazier.

I hope this plan backfires and they both lose fans -- honestly, that's what I see happening right now.

They are both idiots but even idiots deserve happiness no matter how pathetic they may be.
