If this is summer, it must be time for brainless fun

Unwilling to watch the Tom Cruise train wreck any longer, the ent'ment press is turning to his finance, Katie Holmes, whom Salon calls a fem-bot and the Telegraph (U.K.) says is being chaperoned by a Scientology minder who says she is Katie's "best friend."

Jessica Rodriguez, 29, a senior member of L Ron Hubbard's Church of Scientology, denied that she was "working" with Holmes. "Oh no, we're just best friends. . . Well, Katie has a lot of friends." And how long have you been friends? "Oh, a while," Rodriguez said. "I don't know."

Right. You can also tour the new site Tom Cruise Is Nuts or read Salon's four-part series on Scientology.

By the way, I don't know if anybody ever reads comments on somebody else's blog, but did you notice the two comments after I mentioned I wouldn't be seeing "War of the Worlds"? Really odd that they came within ten minutes of one another, when I generally have almost no comments on this blog. And "sporatic emp" -- what the fuck is that?? And the other guy, who commented:

It's too bad you've made up your mind to not see it. You've probably missed a great many good films this way.

Something just a little too smooth and haughty, too reminiscent of Cruise's own "You haven't studied the history of psychiatry like I have" comments, about that "You've probably."
