why is everyone making such a big deal bout tom Cruise's wedding with Kattie Holmes?

People tend to have irrational attractions to celebrities, for reasons I don't fully comprehend, but weddings especially, for many of the same reasons people are interested in "normal" weddings.\n\nAs sad as it may sound, a lot of people will probably never find true love in their lives, and a wedding gives them a way to live this scenario vicariously through others. A high-profile couple like the two of them just has wider appeal because they're celebrities and more people know about them.

I'll give you three reasons:\n\n#1 - He's a control freak.  If she's interviewed, he's not going to be able to control everything she says and that scares the hell out of him.\n#2 - Katie Holmes has been completely brain washed and is no longer able to think for herself.\n#3 - He doesn't allow anyone to talk to her who isn't part of the Church of Scientology.  (They might try to knock some sense into her.)

The answer to this is pretty simple, scientology doesn't care about helping people, they only care about their image and making money. Tom Cruise has mental problems and NEEDS psychiatry, but his religion tells him that he can out think these issues, but as his public appearance has shown, that is not the case.\n\nScientology is not a community of caring individuals hoping to make the world a better place, it is a pyramid scheme trying to rid it's members of individuality and hard earned cash.\n\nI fear for Katie Holmes and ESPECIALLY for her baby.

why is everyone so interested in that dumb movie!?

Because love makes fools of us all. Nearly everyone has been in love, so it is as close to a universal emotion as anyone could write about.

I think Tom Cruise is more than weird..he is a self obsessed a**hole....He thinks he the the second coming of L Ron Hubbard....Katie should take the baby and run...don't think she knew what she was getting into....

It's most likely just the pressures of being i n the media, long periods of time spent apart on movie sets, travelling etcc..\nActully, sometimes it makes me wonder if some marriages are publicity ploys, because when power people come together, the media coverage is phenomenal.

really? i didn't know that. didn't they just get married? but, after all, the "celebrity" life is like, \n\nsing, act, famous, married, divorce, married, divorce.\n\nit's just repeating itself.

What you see of any celebrity via the media (press or TV) isn't \nusually going to be a "good example" of who they really are. What sells is "dirt", contraversy, etc.\nEspecially in Hollywood. This has been going on since the beginning in the 1920's and 30's when they stated the "gossip columns". Now it's a huge industry which has to be fed continuously. If they can get away with it and even if they can't (They get sued) it's still worth it financially.That's why they all have lawyers on board (the media) to weigh the costs of what they can get away with.\nIf  a celebrity creates a successful career and is also active in\nother areas of his or her life, cares about his fellow man, like Tom Cruise, he's a target for attack.\nLook at what happened to the Dixie Chix, and all that happened\nbecause the lead singer spoke up, gave her opinion. She didn't even DO anything.\nYou don't get to find out about what Tom Cruise is really like, what he does, how many people he helps. \nThe media builds the celebrity up into something excentric and\nlarger than life so that they can knock them down first chance they get.\nMartha Stewart, Michael Jackson, Brittany Spears,Mel Gibson...... the list goes on. It has nothing to do with religion.\nThe thing they can't figure out about Tom Cruise is he just keeps on being successful caring about his fans and people in general and doing and saying what he thinks is right. It doesn't matter what they do or say about him.\nNow that IS a very good example of what a Scientologist is all about.\nI should know , I've been a Scientologist for 34 years. I also know and care a lot more about Tom Cruise and what he does and is doing for his fellowman than his "celebrity".You will never find out what he is really like via the press or media.\nAs for his new wife Katie, looks to me like she loves the man.(Not the "celebrity")

If Tom Cruise ever gets around to marrying Katie Holmes, the Scientology wedding ceremony will likely be one of those listed in The Background, Ministry, Ceremonies & Sermons of the Scientology Religion, a $200 hard-bound volume published by the Church of Scientology for use by its ministers. (The leatherbound commemorative edition is priced at an unbelievable $2500.) The book contains five versions of the wedding ceremony: Traditional, Informal, Single Ring, Double Ring, and Concise Double Ring. Two of these are reproduced below, for comparison.\nSome interesting points:\n\nThe Traditional ceremony uses painfully stilted language -- a really bad attempt at free verse.\n\nThe groom is always referred to in the Traditional ceremony as a "man", while the bride is referred to in several places as a "girl". Note the brilliant observation that "girls need clothes and food and tender happiness and frills ... perhaps a cat."\n\nNeither ceremony offers much in the way of spiritual content, and there is no mention of any higher power.\n\nThe big spiritual advice offered to the newlyweds in the Double Ring ceremony is, basically, "never go to bed angry". Wow! That's deep!\n\nScientologists believe they are immortal spirits, and the Double Ring makes reference to the circle being an "emblem of permanency", representing "time and space -- which are without ending". The implication of this circle imagery is that the two people are to be joined together forever. But a few lines earlier the proposed bond is more tentative: "your one joint desire in present time is that the love you have created shall remain a reality throughout your future years." Does that mean future years in this lifetime?\n\nThe Traditional ceremony is more blunt: it ends with an acknowledgment that the marriage is over when the participants die. Although Scientologists believe in reincarnation, one's marital obligations are apparently only intended for the current lifetime. After that the individuals are free agents again.

You are living vicariously through celebrities, I guess.  I never have understood why people give a crap about what Britney is doing, or who Brad is dating.

He's a moron.  He left his wife and kids for a 21 year old girl.  He's not in love with her... He's in LUST with her.  Now he has another child and it probably won't be long before he leaves Katie Holmes too.  Tom Cruise is a dork.

Tell me about it. They fall in love - big deal, they have a child - big deal and now they got married - so what? Do people really care? It is all fake anyway. What is next? An other baby and then divorce?

Why were you watching that movie??? Tom Cruise is the devil!!! He brainwashes people and lies to the public.  I can't BELIEVE you paid money to see that crappyass movie!!!!   \n\nHey...I found out that it was a Nokie that isn't on the market yet.  They hope to release it at the end of this year.

I think Tom Cruise is crazy. He acts like he is smoking the reefer. I think that Katie should have never got involved with him. He seems to control her. She should have left him before she got pregnant.

The relationship does seem very forced and fake. All of a sudden they were dating/engaged/pregnant and Tom's overselling of his love and crazy couch antics were too much. They've been together for about 9 months now, and you very rarely hear a peep out of Katie, Tom seems very bossy and controlling, and there's been so much talk about Scientology being a controlling cult. Not too mention the age difference!
