Chalk up another one for Scientology.

Unless she got it from kissing his not-on-the-mouth area.

French? Italian? Balsamic Vinegar? Ranch?

There are other pictures that show her wrists all bruised up. I can't find the link. Sigh. Anyway, Mr.Cruise apparently likes it rough.

And here's one without bruises and a raging case of creepy mouth:

And my brain just tried to shut itself off after Shockeye's comment.

Is that a reference to tossed salad?

schild-I noticed the bruises on her arm, too. It's on the first pic that Shocky Doo-doo posted.

Is Greek a dressing?

Also a style.

Ok, Katie Holmes is quite obviously not the person I thought she was. I was thinknig of Kate Hudson, or whatever Goldie Hawn's daughter is named. Who is Katie Holmes again, and why should I care?

She's was on Dawson's Creek.

And she got naked in "The Gift".

She's also the love interest in Batman Begins -- you know -- RACHEL!!!! -- that's who he's referring to.

And she's got a raging case of herpes.

Wasn't her Gift nude scene as a corpse?

There's another scene as well with her and Greg Kinnear in those woods.

I'm SURE this whole romance has nothing to do with publicity.

Is Holmes' movie for a Health class?

Batman Begins is based on Frank Miller's little read series: Batman: The Herpes Years.

He can cure her by putting her in a Lazuras Pit.

It seems "stubble rash" is code for "raging case of mouth herpes". Those goofy Brits!

Is Katie allergic to Cruise?
By Daily Mail
5 May 2005

Her new boyfriend has certainly put a smile on her face.

But a closer look at Katie Holmes shows something else as well.

Out shopping in Los Angeles, Tom Cruise's 26-year-old girlfriend was sporting what appeared to be a serious case of stubble rash. Or maybe she's just allergic to the twicemarried, 42- year- old actor.

Miss Holmes, best known for her role in the teenage TV drama Dawson's Creek, was pictured with her new beau in Rome last week.

'He may have been kissing her a little too passionately,' said one onlooker. 'If it was a stubble rash, no wonder Katie was flaunting it - not every woman can boast about kissing Tom Cruise!'

[Paelos]

You couldn't get that kind of "stubble rash" from a Brillo pad.

I want to know what part of his body he had recently shaved and had her kiss.

Maybe when she was rimming him the alien that resides in his body jumped out and bit her.

Interesting interview.

SPIEGEL: We visited one of your locations near Los Angeles and were amazed to find a fully staffed tent of the Scientology organization right next to the food tents for the journalists and extras.

Cruise: What were you amazed about?

SPIEGEL: Why do you go so extremely public about your personal convictions?

Cruise: I believe in freedom of speech. I felt honored to have volunteer Scientology ministers on the set. They were helping the crew. When I'm working on a movie, I do anything I can to help the people I'm spending time with. I believe in communication.

SPIEGEL: The tent of a sect at someone's working place still seems somewhat strange to us. Mr. Spielberg, did that tent strike you as unusual?

Spielberg: I saw it as an information tent. No one was compelled to frequent it, but it was available for anybody who had an open mind and was curious about someone else's belief system.

Cruise:The volunteer Scientology ministers were there to help the sick and injured. People on the set appreciated that. I have absolutely nothing against talking about my beliefs. But I do so much more. We live in a world where people are on drugs forever. Where even children get drugged. Where crimes against humanity are so extreme that most people turn away in horror and dismay. Those are the things that I care about. I don't care what someone believes. I don't care what nationality they are. But if someone wants to get off drugs, I can help them. If someone wants to learn how to read, I can help them. If someone doesn't want to be a criminal anymore, I can give them tools that can better their life. You have no idea how many people want to know what Scientology is.

SPIEGEL: Do you see it as your job to recruit new followers for Scientology?

Cruise: I'm a helper. For instance, I myself have helped hundreds of people get off drugs. In Scientology, we have the only successful drug rehabilitation program in the world. It's called Narconon.

SPIEGEL: That's not correct. Yours is never mentioned among the recognized detox programs. Independent experts warn against it because it is rooted in pseudo science.

Cruise: You don't understand what I am saying. It's a statistically proven fact that there is only one successful drug rehabilitation program in the world. Period.

SPIEGEL: With all due respect, we doubt that. Mr. Cruise, you made studio executives, for example from Paramount, tour Scientology's "Celebrity Center" in Hollywood. Are you trying to extend Scientology's influence in Hollywood?

Cruise: I just want to help people. I want everyone to do well.

Spielberg: I often get asked similar questions about my Shoa Foundation. I get asked why I am trying to disseminate my deep belief in creating more tolerance through my foundation's teaching the history of the Holocaust in public schools. I believe that you shouldn't be allowed to attend college without having taken a course in tolerance education. That should be an important part of the social studies curriculum.

SPIEGEL: Mr. Spielberg, are you comparing the educational work of the Shoa Foundation with what Scientology does?

Spielberg: No, I'm not. Tom told you what he believes in, and after that I told you what I believe in. This is not a comparison between the Church of Scientology, the Shoa Foundation and the Holocaust. I was only showing you that some of us in Hollywood have set out to do more than just be actors or directors. Some of us have very personal missions. In Tom's case, it's his church, and in my case, it's the Shoa Foundation, where I'm trying to help other people learn about the mortal dangers of pure hatred.

Scary.

[Paelos]

Once religions start talking about "statistically proven facts" you can usually figure they are bullshitting you about something. I mean, because we all know it's a statistically proven fact that being an atheist makes you a pedophile.

Hey, that little boy never ONCE said no to me!

BECK DEFENDS SCIENTOLOGY

Californian singer BECK has leapt to the defence of the controversial Scientology religion, insisting people have judged the belief system too harshly.

The faith has been viewed with suspicion but, like many US celebrities, the GUERO star credits the Church group with helping many people through troubled times - his father included.

He says, "There's whole aspects (of Scientology) that you probably don't see. They have the success rate of getting hardcore addicts off drugs, 90-something per cent maybe.

"This is something my father has been doing for coming on 40 years. It's something that's helped him a lot. There's aspects of it that have helped me...

"If it's something that helps you in your life it's a positive thing, so all I have to say is that you can't really make a judgement on something unless you know something about it first-hand."

Cruise: I just want to help people. I want everyone to do well.

Wow, he is so sincere and kind and generous. "I just want to help" is the phrase most often heard by people before they get totally fucked.

[WayAbvPar]

Scientology losing popularity?

Scientology losing popularity?

I saw that the other day but I didn't want to post too many Onion links.

[WayAbvPar]

The other day? It is from today's edition!  And it folded into our discussion so nicely...

Curse you and your infernal time machine, knave!

[Pococurante]

BWAHAHAHA! Surprised the dateline wasn't six weeks back....

[Shockeye]

This is worth watching. SFW.

This is worth watching. SFW.

Good christ. The payoff wasn't worth it + you're evil.

[Strazos]

It was rather "meh" if you ask me.

[WayAbvPar]

Tom Cruise MUST be stopped.

The guy is out of control. He is actually quite frightening. I wish I could just write it off as a nasty coke bender, but I think it is much scarier than that.

[voodoolily]

God, I thought I was the only one who thought things were getting WAAAY outta control with that freak. We need to stage an intervention or something.



He's wrasslin' Oprah, for chrissakes! This is worse than that one presidential candidate who hooted.
