Well, I hear Tom has always been a fan of short beards. ---

So five of the twelve were taller than him and one was about the same height. My offhand guess looking at that picture is that the new girlfriend is about 5’ tall. So all the ones he married were taller than him. ---

Why do the gay rumors persist? They all run from the crazy, but not from the lack of sex. OK, he dated Cher, which is weird. Cher is kind of what a gay guy might think a hot woman is. But the rest? Dang, I’d like to be that kind of gay. ---

Since Tom Cruise is only 5’7" when when wearing elevator shoes, standing on a box, and photographed with a special lens I estimate his actual height at 4’1". The woman in the picture is clearly no more 3’2" tall. ---

Yeah, I’m also thinking that list puts an end to the gay rumours. Holy smokes, what a list. I laughed at that picture. They both look like they are walking really awkwardly because their pants are way too tight. ---

> [@kayaker](#): > > Christables: transubstantiated lunchables? –Golf clap– I’m MUCH more interested in the fact that he’s once again presenting himself as a straight male. For fuck’s sake, Tom, The US Supreme Court just made GREAT STRIDES in gay rights. Today. The closet, Thomas. The closet has a door. On the other side of that door is a great warm light. It’s the light of self-honesty. Of revelation. Of relief. Goodness, Tom. ---

Her heels aren’t that big, so I’d calculate she’s about 4ft 11in to 5 feet tall. > [@QuickSilver](#): > > Fer chrissake Tom, pull down that sweater and get a pair of jeans that fit your middle aged ass. I can’t comment on the pants, but he appears to be adjusting his shirt, like he’s tucking it in, so the sweater is up for the purpose of allowing him to do that task, at which point a normal person would pull it down again. There’s no reason to think he wouldn’t as well. ---

> [@half-elf](#): > > hehe! Great username/ post combo! 😃 I wanted to “like” your post. Must get away from that Facebook thing. As for Tom Cruise and the person he may or may not be dating, there’s enough crazy in Tom to make news concerning him hard to resist. I checked to see what his daughter looks like, and no, that isn’t his child.
