Oh Tom! You are the living end!

So, just finished the two-part Oprah special on Tom Cruise, and boy is my heart tired...from loving too much! (also, from all the trans fats and cigs). But more to the point, these were my favorite parts:

1.) The constant repetition of the dancing scene from Risky Business. They showed it after just about every single commercial break, and sometimes before commercial breaks, and then sometimes in between commercial breaks. If I haven't memorized every curve of Tom's nubile little 19-year-old body by now, I probably never will.

2.) Dakota Fanning's tribute to TC (that's Tom Cruise to the rest of yous!) I noticed that her little girl voice is gone, and that makes me kind of sad and nostalgic (on a side note, I also noticed this about that little girl from The Chronicles of Narnia. In the commercial for the sequel (a.k.a The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspsian, opening May 16th. HOLLA!) she yells "It's Aslan!" and her cute little girl voice is gone, replaced with an older, more mature tone. Why do little kids have to grow up? Why can't they just stay small forever? And I don't mean this in a a creepy "I want to have sex with little kids" way, I mean it really purely and genuinely).

3.) Apparently, baby Suri calls Tom Cruise "Dada Cruise." As in, she's internalized that he's Tom Cruise, but that she specifically is supposed to call him "dada," and thus, calls him "Dada Cruise." I have a cousin who calls her dad "Father Kusek," and that always cracks me the fuck up. I hope my kids have a weird name for me (j/k- you all know where I stand on children. As in I'll never let them utilize my precious bod for their selfish existence).

All right, I've gotten my thoughts about Tom Cruise out, and I probably won't feel the need to write about him for another two to three years. But let me reiterate this one major point: if you hate Tom Cruise, you can suck. my. ass.

Cheers!
