Tom Cruise Dressed Up as Dorothy!

[SoCalyorkiLvr]

I only know that my own son used to dress up like a girl when he was playing as a child and that my daughter just had two of her guy friends over and the girls dressed in girls prom dresses.

You know...quite frankly...I don't understand all the "brooha" is about Tom Cruises's sexuality. Its his own business...maybe he's bi-sexual for all we know...and has the capacity to fall in love with both men AND women! I just don't think we have the right to sit in judgment of anyone's relationship with another human being. And as far as hiding the "other" side of him...well..we don't have to be brilliant to realize the descrimination and hatred that many people in this country have towards homosexuals. If Tom Cruise wants to take steps to insure he provides himself with a living... in an occupation he loves...then maybe he feels the needs to "protect" himself by not being self-revealing. (shrug) And as far as his female partners go...they are ALL big girls ...with lots of agents....etc...for back up...in what is basically a very small bubble there in Hollywood. And I say that...because I have a nephew in law who works as a small bit actor in Holllywood. And believe me...if HE knows the inside scoop on these celebrities from working closely within the community...I guarantee you Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes do too!

Now..the commentary on PPD and medication was out of line in my opinion. And I know this is America...with the freedom to speak out...but anyone that high profile needs to be aware of the responsibilities that come with fame. I mean...its not like Jo schmo me got up there and said it...I'd be dismissed...but because Americans deify celebrities here in this country, any opinions are given more credence. And I think Tom Cruise did not live up to that responsibility. I only pray that those women who desperately need help are not dissuaded from seeking medical attention. My own sister had severe PPD.....she would even look at her husband and say "get that baby away from me"....this from a woman who was so desperate to have a child...that she endured god know what attempts for ten years! I KNOW my sister...she is the most loving stable person...but whatever chemical imbalance she was experiencing with the birth of her child, turned her into someone I did not know. We were all very afraid for her and the baby. She was not even allowed to be alone with the her own baby. And all I can say...is THANK GOD FOR MEDICATION! The doctors turned her around within 2 months, and her husband had his wife back...I had my sister back...and "James" had a mother for the first time in his young life! As of today? Two year old James is a healthy happy..."Mamas Boy"...and my sister dotes on him and is the BEST mom! So Tom? You can stick it where the sun doesn't shine! Amen...

Oh hon...don't be mad! I wasn't addressing what YOU said directly...it was a generally observation. Yours was just the last thread I read! No harm meant!

Francie, I couldn't say it better! I couldn't care less what the man does with consenting adults.

It's the thought that if a single person that needed help heard his rant and then didn't seek help because of what he said....

That's where he 'jumped the couch' for me. JMO

I'm with y'all - it is very irresponsible for someone as high-profile as he is to speak the way he did about serious mental illnesses and their treatment. Considering the ones who really look up to him as a role model are likely the ones who need their meds the most we could have a real catastrophe on our hands! Tongue-in-cheek, yes, but I do take meds for mental health and was very offended by his comments!
