TomKat united... ?

I was very surprised to read this weekend on msn that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes have tied the knot. I guess this shouldn't surprise me. A matrimonial commitment made in Hollywood isn't like the ones we know. Marriages out there last as long as a the average orgasm.

So why the hell am I blogging about it? Well, a few reasons. I'm running the National Novel Writing Month gauntlet and I need a breather. Odd that I should click through the gossip files for a "break" but, whatever. There are some girlie indulgences that I must... um... indulge in :)

Also, I was yay (*) close to betting money that they wouldn't get married. I've got to say that now that they did, I'm still not convinced of their "love". It's not my place to judge them. But I know that love makes you relax. It sands down the sharp edges of your personality and makes you a bit more easy going. Tom had the exact opposite reaction. He went on the hyperdefense and it seems every little thing they do as a family is only a response to tabloid pestering and prodding. Weird.

And, I was kind of hoping Katie would get away. Homegirl is just not incredibly happy with this guy. It's so obvious. She's famous. So is her husband. She has more money than I'll ever dream of (in the change tray of her CAR). She just gave birth to a cute baby who looks like her. She's been engaged for about a year. What more could she want? And yet, she always looks like someone who's straining an expression of contentment. Not someone who is genuinely happy. Just my opinion *shrugs*
