* It’s not just the public that hasn’t seen the spawn of Katie Holmes (oops, sorry, maybe we should call her “Kate” like Tom does?) and Tom Cruise. Apparently even their friends in Scientology John Travolta, Kelly Preston, and Lisa Marie Presley haven’t met the baby, Suri. Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith keep calling, trying to meet up with TomKat and off-spring, but interestingly Tom and Katie always have some excuse for not getting together. (Could these two get any more suspicious?) But at least Katie finally stopped running around town with that strap-on pregnancy belly.
* This just in! The plot to release the secret formula for Coke to rival Pepsi has been foiled! Thank goodness MSNBC covered this on their web site’s front page this morning. I mean, it’s not like there’s a war going on in Iraq, or a despot in North Korea shooting off missiles or anything. Save that formula!
* First same-sex marriage in Austria, where gay marriage is not legal: A husband in wife in Austria recently became the country’s first same-sex wed couple when the husband underwent gender reassignment surgery and the Courts ruled their marriage still valid. (I think I just heard a screenwriter in Hollywood taking notes. Watch for a screenplay based on this story to be shopped around at Chateau Marmont by next week.)
* It’s not easy being gay and Muslim.
