So two weeks have gone by without talking about Tom Cruise. As of this week, though, my Cruise withdrawal is satiated. Reports that he and fiancée Katie Holmes are splitting enraged the "War of the Worlds" star. It has been stated that Cruise remained calm during the ordeal, but I can't believe that. I can just imagine him screaming at the top of his lungs "I'm not gay! I mean...I love Katie Holmes. We're not splitting." Yeah, and Kelly Ripa isn't on speed...
Since we're on the subject of splits, my favorite Material Girl had a split in her muscles after the Grammy's. Madonna got a hernia from dancing too hard at the Grammy opening sequence while performing with the cartoon band Gorillaz. This is the second time Madonna was in the emergency room this year after a horse riding incident left her with cracked ribs. As much as I love Madonna, I don't think she is limber as she once was. One more hospital visit and her new album could be "Confessions from the Emergency Room..."
Staying on the topic of hospitals, a television doctor from the emergency room is now ready to hit the racetrack. Patrick Dempsey of "Grey's Anatomy" is now an Indy car owner and in the running to be in the Indy 500. He joins Ashley Judd's husband and David Letterman during the fast and (now) star-studded event. Now someone explain to me why my Uncle Jack and the rest of the Nascar fans love to watch cars go in a giant oval 500 times. I realize the crashes are cool to watch, but that is a rare occasion. If I wanted to watch Patrick Dempsey go around in circles, I would watch "Grey's Anatomy" on a carousel. At least I would be having fun...
Coldplay wants to have some fun, too. Chris Martin, the band's front man, hinted at the British equivalent of the Grammy's that the band won't be back to an awards ceremony for a long time. Publicists for the band insist that they are not breaking up, but the band mates have been hinting at a hiatus. I think there needs to be better communication between publicist and band, personally. Without Coldplay how can Paul Rudd know that you're gay? I don't think making spinach dip in a sourdouogh bread bowl will cut it anymore...
