To love, cherish and always wear flats

So, the first thing I thought when I saw this picture was, “Wow, is Katie bending her knees under that dress?” Yes folks, on their wedding day, Tom Cruise made Katie Holmes either a) wear flats or b) squat for the photos. Either way, a healthy way to start a marriage, don’t you think?

Oh, and in case you thought I was exaggerating about the height difference... Behold TomKat’s engagement photo last year. You know, before Kate was legally bound to never wear heels.

Quiet desperation, public humiliation

Well, Katie Holmes has emerged from her post-birthing hiding to attend the L.A. Mission Impossible: III premiere with her captor, nee fiance, Tom "The Wingnut" Cruise.

I'd like to take this moment to reflect on what we, as a public, have lost with the enslavement of Ms. Holmes to the ranks of Scientology wingnuttery.

1) A promising actress - of all the Dawson's Creek alums, I thought Katie had the brightest careers ahead of her.
2) A smart actress - "First Daughter" aside, Katie had made very smart film choices from "Pieces of April" to "Wonder Boys" and "The Ice Storm."
3) A seemingly normal person - Ohio girl made good has now become the silent half of one of the most embarrassing public spectacles to hit Hollywood.

Sigh. Katie, Katie, Katie. What have you done?
