Why would anyone choose to live their entire life in public? Come on -- even if you''re a celebrity, don''t you want any private life?

Ugh- way to drop your belief system of 26 years for one that you have had a couple months of exposure.....

As much as I was looking forward to War of the Worlds and Batman, I will now not be able to separate my growing ick factor for those 2....

Is that the emoticon for "I just threw up a little in my mouth?"


Wow. Little Joey Potter''s hanging'' with the aliens now!

Y''know, I never really had anything against Tom Cruise OR Katie Holmes...until lately. I''m SO sick of hearing about them...they are completely overexposing themselves and their relationship. Whether it be for the sake of their movies as a publicity stunt, or if it''s a real relationship, I''m so sick of hearing about it that I refuse to go to EITHER of their movies, or watch ANY of the countless interviews they have been doing. Seriously....and the fact that she''s converting to scientology just irritates me more!!!

I''d have more respect for them if they just lived out their "relationship" in private. Even SOMEWHAT private.

Did Cruise Want an ''Alias''?

Did Tom Cruise audition "Alias" star Jennifer Garner for Katie Holmes'' current role as love of his life?

That''s the buzz out here in Hollywood as Cruise''s embarrassing and unconvincing public-romance campaign continues to bubble along on all fronts.

The campaign has two "hit" dates: this Friday, when Holmes'' "Batman Begins" opens, and next Friday, when Cruise''s "War of the Worlds" debuts.

The Garner plan began last summer, I''m told, when Cruise was first talking to "Alias" creator J.J. Abrams about directing "Mission: Impossible 3."

"That''s when Cruise had a meeting with Garner," my source says, "just like he eventually had a meeting with Holmes."

The meeting was inconsequential, I''m told, but what followed was memorable: a "bombardment" of phone calls from Cruise, who was determined to make Garner his arm candy and possible "M:I3" co-star.

Only one problem: Garner was in the process of getting back on track with "Daredevil" co-star Ben Affleck in a real way.

"When Jennifer moved into her new home, Tom starting sending her gifts," my source says. "That''s when she called him and said, ''It has to stop.'' She told him she was with Ben. That''s when the Katie plan took hold."

Cruise and the inventors of this odd plan must believe Romance 2005 will work to their benefit.

It has certainly has worked for the folks behind Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie''s "Mr. and Mrs. Smith." The movie got lukewarm reviews, as predicted, but still managed to score a $51 million opening weekend. That should do a lot to offset its $130 million budget.

"War of the Worlds," directed by Steven Spielberg, and "Batman Begins," from "Memento" director Christopher Nolan, have similar nuts to crack.

Meantime, the whole Cruise-Holmes fiasco — including Cruise''s several public statements that "Katie Digs Scientology" — is reflecting more poorly on one person, and it isn''t either of the main players.

People are starting to wonder what the heck has happened to the usually savvy Oprah Winfrey, who hosted the couple''s now infamous public display of cynicism on her show.

There''s a good example to set for today''s girls: "hey girls, don''t worry about developing your own belief system, just borrow your boyfriends!!"

Genius. Celebrities are starting to make me sick. The sad part is WHY DO I CARE???
