That is all I have to say on the subject of this Very Special Union.

That ring is ugggggly. I bet L. Ron Hubbard insists somewhere in Dianetics Scientologists ignore the four C's of diamond buying and only go cubic zirconia.

Well, cubic zirconia's are cheaper when you have to marry several times to give the illusion of heterosexuality and also, we know Tom is saving his pennies to give to L. Ron. You can't go throwing money away on frivolous things that will only last the length of the contract and movie publicity engagement and marriage.

So... let me sum up.

1) Engaged atop the Eiffel Tower, after a whirlwind courtship in which Cruise and Katie declare their love at every possible press junket stop, during the months leading up to both Batman Begins and War of the Worlds.

2) Mere hours after the early morning engagement, hold a press conference to announce said engagement.

3) Make sure that your child co-star in your upcoming film is present at said engagement-announcing press conference.

This is Not a Publicity Stunt HOW again?

I really wanted to believe that she had more sense. *sigh*
