Ok, someone please explain to me the reasoning behind the gargantuan media blitz that is Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' wedding (I REFUSE to call them TomKat. Completely and utterly flat-out not happening). Because I seem to be fundamentally incapable of comprehending why it's so goddamned important. They're second-rate celebs at best, and even if they weren't, famous people get married ALL the time - sure as hell more often than the rest of us unwashed masses do - and I've seen very few of their weddings get this kind of coverage. In fact, I haven't seen any wedding ever get this kind of coverage since Charles and Di's ill-fated, lengthily-trained, massively-sleeved-and-beruffled shindig in the 1980's. And those two were actual ROYALTY.
Snarkiness aside, I really am genuinely puzzled about why this thing is being plastered all over my TV the way it is. I understand a mention or two here and there, but all the hype and buildup seems really excessive. It kind of works on the assumption that people give a shit, and I have yet to run across anyone who actually does.
Also, their baby looks like Danny DeVito. Poor thing.
color me puzzled, too.
granted, celeb gossip tends to be a sad obsession of mine, but with the wedding shit of theirs? I really did NOT get the big deal. why is it the 'biggest wedding of the century'?
if the pope got married, do you think it could top it?

haha this post just made me laugh out loud..literally.
I will never understand the world's infatuation with celebrities, let alone with the NORMAL things they do (like get married). Marriage is a regular every day thing to do. If you want me to be impressed by them...show me how they can afford to have employees that clean their toothbrushes for them.
