TOM CRUISE always seems to be in the news. Not
only for all the movies he makes but also for his sometimes erratic
behavior and his private life. Now it’s a controversy over his and
Nicole Kidman’s adopted children, Connor and Isabella. Seems they
are calling new wife Katie “Mom” with Tom’s approval, and
calling Nicole just that—Nicole.
I don’t know how much time they spend with
each parent, but it doesn’t seem right to involve youngsters in
marital mishaps. We’ll just have to wait and see how this one
plays out. Meanwhile, Mr. Cruise continues to smile that BIG smile
and show those BIG teeth, and rake in BIG bucks at the box office.
And, of course, talk at this time of year is
always awards. Definitely there is not a so-called shoo-in for Best
Picture. From talk about town and from what I hear from friends in
the Academy who vote, it looks like The Diving Bell and the
Butterfly or No Country for Old Men could be the “taker.” Me?
I’m just going to wait and see.
Meanwhile, you ask whom I think is the most
beautiful actress on the screen today. NOT talent, just beauty. This
is a hard one for me to answer because as the old saying goes,
“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” All I can say is there
are none, and possibly never will be any actress with a face like
Greta Garbo’s. However, if any of you readers have an opinion
I’d like to know it. Let me hear from you.
All is not smelling like roses for Sir Sean
Connery. He is being sued by a neighbor for $3 million over foul
odors and rat infestation due to renovations on a townhouse. Now
come on! Odors and a few rats could not possibly cause THAT MUCH.
We will have to see how this one plays out. I
have a feeling if it were not a celebrity causing the
“so-called” trouble, the price wouldn’t be as high!
Angelina Jolie said her kids weren’t allowed
to watch her as a gold-plated nude in Beowulf. Meanwhile she and
Brad continue to commute between all their houses all over the
world, tugging all the kiddies with them.

BITS ‘N’ PIECES: Jeepers! Where have I been?
I knew two of Michael Jackson’s kids are named Prince and Paris,
but I wasn’t aware of Blanket, who is 5! ... A lot of the
“boys” are going for bangs.
Tom, Ashton and others are sporting a forehead
fringe just like us girls. ... I didn’t know until now while
“perusing” memorabilia that Rita Hayworth and Ginger Rogers were
first cousins. ... Nick Nolte’s asking price for a film in his
heyday was $5 million. Today he is lucky if he can get $500,000.
