Oscars, Part 3
I decided to skip the Barbara Walters special and now I discover that Regis Philbin is doing his red carpet thang. I have to say that Regis is a great name. I wish my parents had named me that. I am serious. If that isn't enough, his middle names are Francis Xavier. Astounding. What a lucky man.
A few observations:
- John Travolta's hair looks like a helmet.
- Laura Linney reminds me of Helen Hunt (but with a smaller forehead).
- Javier Bardem scares me, even when not in character and even without the worst haircut in movie history.
- Wow, I didn't realize that Daniel Day Lewis wears such serious earrings. I am not sold on them, though.
- 1 Billion people will be watching the Academy Awards, which is about 999,999,999 more than are reading this blog.

Wild and Woolly (or, Tom Cruise is Nuts)
Of course, we already know that Tom Cruise is nuts, but here is more proof. Mind you, it is a bit of a challenge sitting through several minutes of nearly incomprehensible ramblings from Mr. Cruise, but if you give it a try, you'll quickly see that the rumours are true: he's not all there. So, have a look at this video that the Cult of Scientology is trying to suppress, presumably because it makes the Cult and Cruise look like idiots.
It's too bad, really, because he showed such promise in Risky Business. I thought he was a man's man, a real football kind of guy who likes music and women. It's so depressing to recognize that the guy is a flake. Damn you Mimi Rogers for introducing Tom to the Cult! And then there are the other famous Scientologists.
I understand why John Travolta made leap to the cult: after being forced to play Vinnie Bobarino for so long, you'd need some sort of religion. And, his career has been beset with such ups and downs, it must have weakened him severely. You could make the same argument about Kirstie Alley, what with the rapid weight gain and all.
I don't consider Katie Holmes to be a true Scientologist: she's more like a hostage.
I have to confess that I am truly surprised that Beck, one of my favourite musicians, is a Scientologist. There's no explanation for that. Thankfully, Jerry Seinfeld saw the light and escaped before any damage was done.
Someone needs to organize an intervention to deprogram Tom Cruise and free Katie. I'll help.
