Tom Cruise (and Scientologists in general) makes a fairly easy target, and I don't mind taking a pot shot or two. However, the latest headline may be a bit much:
Tom Cruise to snack on placenta after baby's birth?
Judging by its appearance in over 100 Google News sources, the story appears to be legitimate and not entirely unprecedented:
The practice of eating placenta is not a new one and many remote tribes are known to devour the childbirth by-product. Some cultures also believe the snack can make a woman fertile. The practice, called placentophagy, is also believed to alleviate postpartum depression if practiced by the new mother. The Chinese use human placenta in the manufacture of traditional medicines as well.
The latest issue of GQ breaks this appetizing story and quotes the more feminine half of TomKat as saying, "I'm gonna eat the placenta. I thought that would be good. Very nutritious. I'm gonna eat the cord and the placenta right there."
At this point, is there anything Cruise could say or do that would surprise us anymore? I'm half expecting him to snatch his test tube-conceived fetus from Katei Holmes' neglected womb, light its scalp on fire, proclaim his offspring to be the reincarnation of the Egyptian God Ra, then pull out his cock boast about its mystical healing powers.
Actually, that would be one Tom Cruise movie I'd pay to see…
