Xenu's Greatest Hits, Volume 666

TC has bought Katie an iPod downloaded with 300 of her favorite tunes. The article says 300 of her favorite tunes but I don't really believe that. I so think it's 300 of his favorite tunes. The iPod was a gift for when she in labor and she can ONLY listen to the music on her headphones in order to keep the laboratory...uh, I mean, delivery room silent. --Melissa

Tom Cruise has given pregnant Katie Holmes an iPod packed with her fave tunes - to help her keep schtum during the forthcoming birth of their child, UK tabloid The Sun reports.

The thoughtful gift comes after the delivery to the couple's home of six-foot "birthing boards" reminding Holmes to keep her trap shut during the delivery. The Church of Scientology - of which Cruise is a member - believes that mum screaming during the sprog-dropping process is traumatic to the infant. Accordingly, one of the boards reads: "Be silent and make all physical movements slow and understandable."

A source close to the couple told the paper: "Tom gave Katie an iPod loaded with 300 of her favourite songs. He wants her to listen to calming music — but to use earphones so there's no noise in the delivery room." [The UK Register]
And for absolutely no reason:

"Be silent and make all physical movements slow and understandable."

Do you think a middle finger extended nice and slowly would be understandable enough? WTF?

Ha! My sentiments exactly, Emily.

There was a story on my local news last night where they led with the fact that Katie is getting ready for her silent birth. Then they interviewed some scientologists who tried valiantly to make it sound like their religion isn't a bunch of nutjobs. They also interviewed a NORMAL woman who gave birth a few days ago to triplets, and who doesn't believe the noise in the delivery room has harmed them in the least. :P
