USA Today calls Tom Cruise "Snippy"

USATODAY.com - Cruise: Snippy when wet.

That's unfair to Tom Cruise. I watched the incident on TV, and to my eyes I thought Tom's reaction was very calm and appropriate. When you're a star of his magnitude, when you stop to give an interview you're doing the interviewer a favor - especially when the potential interviewer is an unknown as this guy obviously is.

Had that been me, I'm not sure I would have been able to keep from decking the guy so to criticize Tom Cruise for what was a relatively subdued and very adult response to an extraordinarily juvenile stunt.

Good for Tom, and a big catcall to the jerk and USA Today for not recognizing a grown-up response when they see one.

Tom Cruise proposes to Katie Holmes at Eiffel Tower

USATODAY.com - Tom Cruise proposes to Katie Holmes at Eiffel Tower.

Congrats to Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes on their engagements.

I have two thoughts on the subject:

1) One of the definite perks of celebrity is that when you want to propose, it's nice to be able to have the cash to fly your girlfriend to the Eiffel Tower to do it, and

2) Many of the people who have been tut-tutting this relationship because of the age difference are the same ones who think it's great that Demi Moore is seeing . What's good for the goose is good for the gander. If the two of them are happy, then more power to them.
