Cruise and Holmes Announce Pregnancy

Wednesday October 5, 2005
Although Tom and Katie are happy about having a baby together, we wonder how aware they are of the red flags showing in their relationship.

Reasons for the red flags and concerns: Katie's youth, Tom's relationship track record, their religious differences and influences, their being engaged after dating for only two months, and now being pregnant just 3 1/2 months after their engagement.

The first year of marriage is a time of adjustment to one another, and having a baby right away adds additional stress to newlyweds. Read more about Tom and Katie

tom cruise and katie holmes marriage will not last. it is a joke of the Hollywood romances. I laugh at Mr. Cruise. Katie must not have too many brains neither. What a joke this entire relationship is showing on just how smart or shall I say, no brains, these actors are. Katie needs a man who has never experienced marriage and learn to grow and discover marriage for the first time together. Tom, leave Katie ALONE!!!!

It’s obvious that Katie has been brainwashed about the church of scientology. How can anyone believe in a religion based on a concept of aliens starting the church that was developed by a science fiction writer of all things. It’s like the branch dividians from waco, texas and other cults, these days people need something to believe in and these cults exploit that vulnerability. Tom has proven how weird that he is with his spoken out of place medical rantings in regard to the medicine of psychiatry. It sounds like the church of scientology talking. Tom is definitely brainwashed. By involving Katie in this she has missed several opportunities at potential winning oscar roles. She is allowing Tom and the church of scientology to run her life. It’s killing her career. After the superman movie she was on the verge of superstardom until she met Tom. I hope that Katie wises up and gets away from Tom. Marrying him would be a big big mistake. Any man that would let the church of scientology come between he and his wife because her father was expelled from the church has a problem with being brainwashed. Take my advice Tom: Ditch the chuch of scientology. It’s killing your career as well. You are doing weird things in public and it has hurt your image and your career tremendously. KATIE….GIVE TOM AN ULTIMATUM…UNLESS HE QUITS THAT CHURCH OF SCIENTOLOGY YOU ARE DONE WITH YOUR RELATIONSHIP AND YOU ARE MOVING ON. Oh and get rid of Jessica what’s her name the church of scientology errand girl. Who needs her hanging around 24/7 and in your face when you go on a trip and try to have a good time? GEEZ Tom and Katie…

…and yet, despite the “red flags” which alarmed you in 2005, and the negative comments of contributors to this page, the relationship of Tom and Kate persists…
