Tom Cruise buys Katie an adult binky to keep her from screaming

[LynneSin]

No, I'm not joking on this one either. Seriously - can this couple get any loopier. Somewhere out there Nicole is thinking "Thank god I adopted kids with that idiot!"

Tom Cruise may have found a way to keep Katie Holmes from violating the precepts of Scientology and shrieking in pain when she gives birth to their child.
It's a specially crafted adult pacifier, reports Star magazine.

"He commissioned an adult-sized 'binky' for her to clench between her teeth, hoping that it'll squelch her screams," a source tells the mag. "In keeping with a Scientology silent birth, Tom is prepared to do whatever it takes to muffle Katie's moans and groans during the delivery."

Cruise's PR rep, Arnold Robinson, denied the existence of an adult pacifier. As for its manufacture, a spokeswoman for NYU's School of Dentistry told Lowdown: "We haven't heard of it, but it doesn't mean a dentist wouldn't do it."

1. I wonder if this will be on Olberman tonight?

[ronnykmarshall]

2. Katie should strangle the son of a bitch.

Honestly, I think the pregnancy is fake. He is either adopting another kid or has a surrogate set up.

[laheina]

3. I think she's pregnant, but I don't think it's his.

But either would explain their craziness.

[Mad_Dem_X]

20. I'm with you - I think it's all fake

I saw a timeline somewhere that showed how her "belly" shape went up and down over the past few months, with no rhyme or reason. One day she'd be big, the next day she'd be almost flat. Plus, I read weird shit like how he'd accompany her to a public bathroom, and that nobody else could be in the bathroom while they were in there! Just weird, wild stuff.

23. Katie's dad would gladly volunteer for that task...

so say the folks here in the Toledo area. Apparently he is none too pleased that his good little Catholic girl has gone so far astray.

[ScreamingMeemie]

36. I don't think so either ronnyk...and there were reports last week of a

nurse entering the home carrying a white bundle of something. That really made me go hmmmmm...

[madinmaryland]

4. Shall we take up a collection here and send him some duct tape?

[Arugula Latte]

30. I'd love to shove that "binky" down his throat.

See if he can scream then.

[China_cat]

5. That transition should be interesting

"I don't give a fuck what your Xenu tells you, I am NOT going to shut up and if you try to make me, I'll figure out a way for you to try to shit a watermelon out of your asshole after it's been sewn shut and not let you make a sound".

Oh yes, I'd love to be holding the video camera for that one.

6. Rule 1

Rules for giving birth should not be written by a 55 year old male science fiction writer.

I'd like to see Tom Cruise keep silent while pushing a cantalope through his penis with no drugs.

Fucktards.

[Shine]

10. LOL! Right on.

"rules for giving birth should not be written by a 55 yr old male science fiction writer."

well said, Ravenseye. :applause:

[Arkansas Granny]

19. Your rule # 1 is definitely a winner.

[fleabert]

7. Headline after the labor: Katie Holms suffocated during silent birth-

Baby taken from Cruise's custody- claiming religious amensty for murder charges...more at eleven...

a woman who vocalizes during labor has an easier time- especially unmedicated labors. Low and gutteral noises help the body relax, lower blood pressure, and facilitates cervical dilation. This silent practice shits on nature.

[Shine]

11. Exactly right, fleabert.

gawd, you shoulda heard me. I sounded like a bear!!

It definitely helped,though.

:hi:

[fleabert]

14. I always say 'Powerful noises! Powerful noises!' when I attend a birth...

a big, open O mouth, and powerful lion or bear noises are the most effective. Gets the diaphragm moving and stimulates all the sphincters to open (the cervix is a sphincter)

high pitched squeals or shrieks are the least effective, have to channel those into deeper sounds. (a hard job, but done more easily with eye contact and loving touch)

(from a doula who knows) :hug: I bet you sounded awesome, literally!

[Shine]

16. When I was in labor the second time, my mantra was "Open....."

a friend had passed along that suggestion, and it worked beautifully. My midwife and I would say it together as the contraction hit and I made sure to keep my fingers splayed OPEN, as well, to keep the energy flowing outward and not clench it up in a fist.

The OPEN chant, became a song and we basically sung the baby down. It was really profound and very sweet.

Strong, like a bear, with an open heart. :hug:

[fleabert]

18. wanna be my doula when I have a baby?

you sound perfect!

(I did the same thing with a client, except we had several good laughs because of the commercial that had the woman chanting 'open open open open' in front of the store. She would be deep in a contraction, opening her mouth wide with each 'open' and after a few, would start laughing good belly laughs at herself- you should have seen her stomach! We were all rolling, it made for a great labor. She had a great time, laughter does wonders for contractions if you can get going!)

[Shine]

21. LOL! I see you're in my area.

I remember that commercial, which is pretty funny, considering I hardly watch tv. Your story made me smile.

I stretched out the word OPEN to be more like "OHHHHHHHHHHHHH-PENNNNNNNNNNNNNN" :D

I also did a lot of laboring in the jacuzzi tub they had available at the hospital. I'd brought my lavendar essential oil and it was great. :thumbsup: Really helped to have the sense of smell triggered, too. Lavendar is such a soothing smell, to me, at least.

I bet you're a great doula, fleabert! :hug: BTW, I "mid-wife" on the other end of life, by being a Hospice volunteer visitor.

[fleabert]

29. how wonderful!

to be loved upon entry into the world, and loved upon leaving it, is the least we can ask for- how blessed we are if we know we are loved during life.

my best friend/grandmother who died in 03 was a Hospice volunteer, I deeply respect what you do, and I am equally sure you are wonderful at it!

kindred spirits I expect, we should have coffee sometime!

[Shine]

32. Sounds good to me.

:hug:

:pals:

[IntravenousDemilo]

8. Tom should let her use one of his thumbs instead.

Or maybe his prick. And he shouldn't be allowed to make any noise, either.

[Samurai_Writer]

9. A ball gag would work too

God, Tom is a freak. I hope Katie comes out of her cult-enduced haze and runs far, far away before that baby is born.

[caty]

12. If the baby comes out crying,

is Tom going to allow that. :banghead:

[Sugar Smack]

13. Another day, another factoid about Tom & Katie's pregnancy.

And yet.. I KEEP READING ABOUT THESE FREAKS. I can't stop myself! I'm addicted and they are NUTZ!

[Shine]

15. If true, that is bizarre and furthermore, sickeningly arrogant.

the "adult binky" is metaphoric on so many levels: he wants to treat HER as if she's a baby, he wants to "muffle" and "squelch" her physical expression as WOMAN, in one of her most powerful aspects, that of giving birth. :thumbsdown:

There's only so much he, or anyone for that matter, can control.

Giving birth is the ultimate lesson in Surrender and letting go of control...

[jukes]

17. a gentle

tap w/ a beavertail sap wd work better, methinks.

takes a light touch, though.

[Mike Daniels]

22. The producers of MI-3 are all probably developing ulcers at this point

I read that the producers of last year's Batman film had considered dumping Holmes and having another actress reshoot her scenes during shooting for the first film. They definitely said that she will not be returning in her role if they shoot a sequel.

I would imagine that the producers of Mission Impossible have to be incresingly nervous about some sort of backlash from movie goers over Cruise's behavior.

[TheBaldyMan]

24. WTF - silent birth rule !

When she's having contractions I hope Katie spits out her gum shield and growling, "Have you ever shat a melon ?" grabs him by the balls and starts pushing.

What a bunch of misogynistic dickheads.

on edit : I don't know that much about scientology and I hope that this is a fake story.

[JitterbugPerfume]

25. uhhh--some of us

have managed to give birth without screaming and most CERTAINLY without a damn binky


how insulting

[RevCheesehead]

26. Pffffttt....

Here's the only Adult-sized Binky:

[beyurslf]

27. I am so over Tom Cruise. He stopped being cute years ago and got by on

charm. Now he is just a freak

[Sequoia]

28. It's truly a "he-man's" religion innit.

Only a man would tell a woman not to scream giving birth. I hope she delivers in the taxi cab with Tom far, far, far away. Dang it, Katie, listen to us get rid of him. I think he doesn't want to marry her until he's sure the baby's healthy and fine. He's really big on this birth so we will think he's the man when we know he's just a pillow biter.

[Misunderestimator]

31. How about he just cuts off her head right before she delivers?

That'd do the trick. He won't have any need for her after the child is born anyway. What. A. Freak.

[WindRavenX]

33. fuck Cruise-- this is borderline abuse

Christ on a pogo stick, can this can ANY weirder??

[mikeytherat]

34. Yes. Yes it can. Every time I think, "Can this get ANY weirder?",

there's a story like this.

Just give 'lil Tommy some time; he can top this easily.

mikey_the_rat

[Iniquitous Bunny]

35. No words.

I just hope she is able to take control of her life again. :(
