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."
Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, who died in 1986, discouraged painkillers during delivery and preached that birth should be silent to "save both the sanity of the mother and the child and safeguard the home to which they will go." The Scientology.org Web site explains: "Having a quiet, gentle birth is all about providing the best possible environment for the birthing mother and her new baby."
The alleged pacifier, which is reportedly made of plastic and molded to perfectly fit the 27-year-old Katie''s mouth, could be deployed very soon. Cruise recently told a German television interviewer: "Katie could be having our baby at any minute."
And the 43-year-old Cruise - who three years ago spent several months wearing braces - likely knows a friendly orthodontist who could help get such a contraption made.
Star also reports that Holmes - with Scientology minder Jessica Rodriguez often at her side - has been spending long days at the Celebrity Centre in Hollywood and is under pressure to renounce her Catholic upbringing and fully embrace Scientology.
