I enjoy the fact that Scarlett has intelligence. ---

> [@Sam Stone](#): > > At this point, wouldn’t it be kind of a relief to find out that Cruise’s problem is merely that he’s gay? Do you consider being gay a problem. The problem would be if Tom is gay and in such denial. I never heard the phrase “Lavendar Marriage” before, but it’s a good one. ---

> [@RikWriter](#): > > I’d have to agree…if he were merely gay, he’d be much better adjusted. He’s batshit insane, which probably extends into his unimaginably weird sex life. Exactly. I think the best way to out him would be the next time he is on Oprah’s show, put on some Judy Garland and Ethel Merman music. ---

Moderator coughs for attention: **cthiax** , you will kindly refrain from personal insults in this forum. You may say what you will about the art/entertainment, the artists/entertainers, and so forth, but you may not make personal comments about other posters, nor question their motives. If you think someone is trolling, then hit the REPORT BAD POST button (the little exclamation point in the red triangle in the upper right corner of the post.) In this forum, we are polite and (reasonably) well-mannered. (PS - I don’t think there’s any hint of trolling here, but I’m just alerting you and everyone to the what-if.) ---

If anything, my post was a bit on the naughty side. It was very late and I was a bit punchy. But just because I post to a thread, doesn’t mean that I read it. ---

> [@Evil Captor](#): > > Am I the only one that absolutely doesn’t care if he’s gay or not? Just because we amuse ourselves by taking a snarky prurient interest in a seemingly immortal bit of Hollywood gossip doesn’t mean we **care!** About Cruise’s sexuality, or his religion, or his acting career. 😉 ---

Well that just clinches it! He IS gay! 'Cuz as any one who’s grown up Catholic knows, any priest under the age of 50 is a closet case! 🙂 ---

I wonder about the seminary thing- I thought he was a HS dropout. Could he have just dropped out of a catholic HS? ---

I don’t care if he’s gay, either. I just don’t believe that’s the case-I don’t think he’s very sexual at all. But if he IS gay, I say he’s banging David Miscaveige. (or however you spell it) ---
