Tom and Katie engaged

Yeah, yeah, so I'm a little late in hearing about this. But whatever... I guess that just proves that I don't normally give a crap about this stuff, but since EVERYONE is talking about "TomKat," I just figured I'd give it an honorable mention.

Oh, and of course, there's always been some interesting gossip surrounding all of this, mostly involving Cruise's controversial Church of Scientology. Now that he's kicked the relationship into high gear, some of this gossip may be worth looking at. I wonder how sketched out we should really be about this whole thing...

"People" reports that now she is so enamored with her new love that she is allowing Jessica Rodriguez, a friend of Tom's who is employed by the Church of Scientology, to travel with her and "manage" her public appearances.


What a control freak.

The NY Post's Page Six asked on Friday "which top leading man interviewed three different starlets for the job of girlfriend/future wife before picking his new beloved?" They were speaking--of course--about Tom Cruise.

There are already rumors that Tom had been "cruising" for a young bride. Radar Online names 19-year old Scarlett Johansson, 24-year-old Jessica Alba, 22-year-old Kate Bosworth, and 18-year-old Lindsay Lohan as Hollywood starlets that Cruise looked to court before settling in on the 26-year old Katie Holmes.

I don't hold the NY Post in particularly high regard, but if this is true then... yikes.
