Somebody just forwarded this to me in an email: _________________________________________________ Good Stuff Folks!!! A friend of mine just got back from LA and heard this scoop about Tom & Katie from someone who works at Universal. The source said that they (Tom & Katie) have a 5-year contract and he's paying her $8 million. The engagement happened so fast because Rob Thomas' (Matchbox 20) wife caught Rob and and Tom in bed together and they rushed the engagement so that it would overshadow that scandal. Obv., take it with a grain of salt. Read below. This was just published. Independent Sources Bureaucrats?Independent Sources Confirms Existence of Tom Cruise/Rob Thomas Rumor Independent Sources announced today that it has uncovered a new, previously undiscovered Tom Cruise rumor: Tom Cruise and Matchbox Twenty's Rob Thomas are lovers! Independent Sources has hesitated writing about Tom Cruise/Katie Holmes for many reasons. First, there are other things going on in the world that, believe it or not, rank higher on the importance scale. Second, pretty much everything that can be said is being said. However, someone (I'll call her Mistress of the Hollywood Rumor) just walked into Insider's office with the following dish that I feel compelled to pass on. I did a quick check of Technorati and it wasn't there. So even if it is not true, it is at least original. No doubt that anyone with an Internet connection has read about Tom Cruise being gay. According to rumor lore, he has had a long-time boyfriend in Chicago who is an Asian pilot for American Airlines. This is an accusation that Cruise and more importantly Cruise's many attorneys vehemently deny. There have been many stories that supposedly corroborate his sexuality but never a smoking gun. Rumor mongers attribute this to the fact that Cruise goes to great lengths to cover his tracks. We are told that everyone around him signs extensive confidentiality contracts with enormous penalties for indiscretion. (Exhibit A: the 8-page confidentiality contract Cruise's housekeeper was forced to sign). Such stories have been around for years and Cruise has evidently attempted to counter them with a series of high-profile heteronormative relationships. First, Nicole Kidman, then Penelope Cruz, and most recently Katie Holmes. In each instance, the "relationship" is actually a contract that gives the women a boost to their careers, a lot of money, and an elegant lifestyle. Here is where this particular rumor gets interesting. Not long ago, Marisol, the wife of Matchbox Twenty's Rob Thomas (who has had to contend with his own rumors of bi-sexuality) found her husband in bed with Tom Cruise causing Cruise's people to shift into high gear. First, Mrs. Rob Thomas was bought off for an undetermined sum. Second, Cruise and his handlers set out to immediately find Cruise a girlfriend. Second-tier actresses were targeted. A list was drawn up with Jessica Alba (#1 pick) and three other girls who fell out for various reasons. Originally targeted (#3 I think) but later rejected as "undesirable" was rumor queen Lindsay Lohan. Way down at #5 on the list was Katie Holmes, but that was the one with whom they were able to strike a deal. Once the contact was signed, photo ops were set up, leaks were made to the right places, and we've had celebrity relationship on steroids ever since. One thing I will credit this rumor for is how it nicely explains Tom's behavior this past few months-including the couch jumping episode on Oprah. Cruise simply didn't have time for the Holmes rumors to circulate at its normal speed and he couldn't allow it to be second page news while the tabloids focused on Brad, Jennifer and Angelina. No, this relationship had to immediately become the "it" topic. Well, that's how we hear it. [A reminder to those of you reading this who have trouble differentiating truth from unsubstantiated rumor: at this point this is all conjecture. All we are doing is confirming the existence of a rumor that the Mistress tells us is all over Hollywood.] We should also add that this story is a bit of a departure for us. If you are interested in keeping up to date on it and other celebrity gossip, we suggest Defamer.

I saw Death from Above open for Danko Jones about a year ago at Lee's Palace in Toronto and then I saw them a month after that at the Continental for like $3. There were only about 50 people at the Continental show, then like 4 months later their song is constantly playing on the radio and I see them perform on Conan O'Brien. The band is just two guys, a drummer (also vocals) and a bass player. Pretty interesting to see live.

you might like these: Kings of Leon The Darkness Queens of the Stone Age Danko Jones The White Stripes (probably not) Sam Roberts (maybe too poppy for you) The Mars Volta The Donnas (girls that idolize Kiss) The Hives (more of a punk band) Death from Above 1979 that's what I can think of for now, at least of some of the bands I'm currently listening to

So what you're looking for is "new" music that is almost an exact copy of another band's previous work?

Are we talking about the same Bruce Dickinson that got Blue Oyster Cult wearing gold plated diapers?

Stories like this are the reason why I tried to help form the Stojanonite posse.

It took 17 posts for someone to finally say that. Of course he is gay. All his children with Kidman are adopted. Any time he dates a new chick it just so happens to be an ambitious B list celebrity looking to climb her way to the top.

Did anyone notice the plot flaw involving Obi Wan and his knowledge of Leia? In episode III we see him witness the birth of the twins and then witness the handing over to Bail Organa, but then in ESB or ROTJ (I don't remember which one) Obi wan doesn't know about Leia. He says Luke is their only hope and then Yoda says, "There is another". Is my memory not serving me correctly? Is this or is this not a plot flaw?

What is the big deal about writing a review with spoilers? If you don't want to be spoiled by any review or any spoiler, you could always just NOT CLICK ON THE THREAD! If you're a Frank Costanza type who "likes to go in fresh", then don't tempt yourself by going in to a thread where potential spoilers could be. It's like going to a strip club saying you don't want to see any naked women, and then getting mad when you see one.

Peter Gibbons: You see Bob, it's not that I'm lazy, it's that I just don't care. Bob Porter: Don't . . . don't care? Peter Gibbons: It's a problem of motivation, all right? Now if I work my ass off and Initech ships a few extra units, I don't see another dime, so where's the motivation? And here's another thing, I have eight different bosses right now. Bob Porter: Eight? Peter Gibbons: Eight, Bob. So that means when I make a mistake, I have eight different people coming by to tell me about it. That's my only real motivation is not to be hassled; that, and the fear of losing my job. But you know, Bob? That will only make someone work just hard enough not to get fired.

It sounds like somebody has a case of the Wednesdays.

What country is he coming from? Some quick suggestions: Albright-Knox art gallery Delaware Park Darwin Martin House (designed by Frank Lloyd Wright) downtown architecture (city hall is supposed to have a cool observation deck with a nice view) Anderson's frozen custard Ted's hot dogs Central Terminal (I think it's been opened recently and has art on display inside) show him the Ralph

There was a fire in O'Brien hall causing lots of damage to the Law Library about one month ago. I think it's still closed. As a current graduate student at UB I would also have to agree in saying that the words ghetto and UB's North Campus do not belong in the same sentence.

I once drove to another country for a CD. From Buffalo I drove to Niagara Falls, Ontario to purchase the Canadian release of Danko Jones "We Sweat Blood".

I was thinking it's Tom Donahoe's fault.

Is that for the 11 running back offensive formation?

How many RB's do we need?

Are Western New Yorkers that dumb? Everyone who lives here knows its still the same store, same owners, just a different name. It may have been named Tops for the last 15 years but when Ahold bought them it no longer was a locally owned store anyway. I refuse to believe that changing the name of the store is going to automatically make people not want to shop at other stores. I have been to this new fancy Martin's, and personally I still prefer Wegmans. They cleaned it up and rearranged the aisles, but it still looks like a Tops. The bright lighting in Martin's/Tops makes me feel like I am in a hospital.

Man those prices are pretty steep. I saw them at the HSBC for like $40.

Check the credits. I am a biased critic.

Mr. Larry knows two things: Buffalo Bills transactions and where to find the best fish fry in Buffalo.

Not entertaining? I would say that this was the best short film I have ever watched in my entire life.
