Tom Cruise - what a w****r!

Apparently, (and having heard his views on post-natal depression, I can believe it) Katie Holmes will have to follow the scientologist rules of childbirth ie no noise (!) in case it traumatises the baby and no pain relief (!) which would surely traumatise the mother...

Anyone out there managed this?!

So just no words then, according to Mr Hubbard.
Does that mean the grunts, screams and general mooing sounds are acceptable?

Is there any truth in the story that Jeanne of Navarre sang hymns all the way through her labour, when she was giving birth to the future Henri IV of France?

How the fuck can you record words if you don't know what words are!!!!!!!!!????????????

The guy wrote Sci Fi (badly) FFS!

I read about it here! Apparently Kelly Preston and John Travolta are urging her to have a silent birth!!

expatinscotland · 07/10/2005 14:51

I think I'd urge those two to go to f&^*, dump Tom Cruise, then sue him for maintenance. .

Is Katie a scientologist? If so then fair enough she can have the quietest birth imaginable but I suspect he is pushing his views on to her. Can't stand the stupid little man since the whole Brooke Shields PND comments. TIT!!

LOL, deffo Expat!!

every time I see him, i hear the good witch glenda from the wizard of Oz, singing "come out come out, wherever you are"
but i have always been a tad odd

sallycinnamon · 07/10/2005 15:02

His 1st marriage broke up under the strain of not being able to conceive, the second marriage to Nicole they adopted 2 children and now on the 3rd marriage (or at least engagement) and he manages to get a virgin pregnant! How incredible is that!

LadyFioOfTipton · 07/10/2005 15:03

"after he split from his first wife mimi rogers in 1990 following a childless marriage, he said:"I have cried tears of frustration. i would turn down an oscar to see my boy at a baseball game or my girl at a song recital"

I bloody hope that he doesnt still feel that and his adopted kids are thought any less of

happymerryberries · 07/10/2005 15:09

didn't he trot out some crap about being able to cure things like ADHD and dyslexia by giving vitamin suppliments

LadyDragonOfSoup · 07/10/2005 15:24

KH should tie a rope round TCs goolies and yank hard every contraction - let's see how silent he'd be.

Frizbe · 07/10/2005 15:25

Bet his mother wasn't quiet giving birth to him or any of his numerous sisters....

LadyFioOfTipton · 07/10/2005 15:26

i think its awful
its like opression of women

aloha · 07/10/2005 15:28

He's really popular here atm, isn't he? Nearly as popular as Kate Moss!

expatinscotland · 07/10/2005 15:28

I think Katie should name it 'Meal Ticket' if it's a girl or 'Gravy Train' (inside American joke about an old advert) if it's a boy .

LadyFioOfTipton · 07/10/2005 15:31

there was a pic of him in the paper today and he was with nicole and their two kids and his grin just looked really insincere, i dont know there is just something about him that makes me think he is a very controlling man

expatinscotland · 07/10/2005 15:32

Napoleon Complex, anyone?

I never believed this existed . . . until I had to work under a pigmy tyrant one time.

LadyDragonOfSoup · 07/10/2005 15:32

Not sure anyone with his opinions about PND medication is going to be popular on MN

Blu · 07/10/2005 15:32

When he and Nicole were filming some film together they had to have specialist coaching to enable them to do love (sex) scenes because he was unable to act convincingly!! (and that was while they were still 'happily married').

nailpolish · 07/10/2005 15:33

blu, that really doesnt surprise me

i hope poor katie has loads of friends who can keep her sane and happy

LadyFioOfTipton · 07/10/2005 15:33

omg

maybe thats why he needed a virgin

poor nicole

nailpolish · 07/10/2005 15:34

i wish nicole or penelope or SOMEONE would spill the beans and put us all out of our misery

spidermama · 07/10/2005 15:35

I had no pain relief. Growling, shouting and mooing like a cow was my pain relief. I lived at number one and my friends at number 9 said they could hear me.

I'd kick Tom Cruise up is back side if he dared to tell me not to make a noise.

teeavee · 07/10/2005 15:48

me too, nailpolish! I think nicole seems quite weird herself though - a bit anal
