    I always believed Nicole Kidman’s greatest acting role was appearing in public as the devoted wife of Tom Cruise. Mind you, I though her fawning over him was excessive at times as their bitter divorce later proved.

    If anything, this post displays the laziness of tabloid journalists. How is it that the same folks are occupying the tabloid headlines for a decade?

    @momo: Seriously. Especially for the Tom/Katie and Brangelina/Jennifer storylines. Practically nothing has happened since each group's drama began, unless you count children huge news. At least Britney and Lindsay actually have had real, new developments. I have no idea why the others are still having the same damn drama printed. Tabloids aren't even trying anymore.
    God, what does it mean that I want them to try harder? Shudder.

    I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I think in more recent pictures I've seen of Nicole she seems much happier than she has in a while. I think her leaving LA and marrying a fellow Aussie and living a more low-key life in Nashville where all the stars live in the same area and people are used to seeing them out and about has been really good for her. It's almost like she's comfortable now being who she is.

    I miss dingbatty, filter-less, bisexual-praying-mantis Angie of yesteryear. She used to be so much fun! (Does anyone recall that epic circa Y2K Esquire mag cover story where she explained that she "takes lovers"--men she's acquainted with that she meets, discretely, for brief hotel-room trysts around the globe?)

    I suppose her current Mother Teresa trip is in keeping with becoming a mother and maturing--laudably, I might add--but I still wish she'd occasionally revert to her olde crazy ways for my personal enjoyment.

    There are definitely things I would have said yes to at 23 that at 31 I'm like "yeeah, no thanks."

    Anyway, looking at photo 18 makes you remember how incredibly handsome he was prior to his frogs-in-my-hair freakout.

    @JLady: I'm so glad there are other people who hope La Lohan will get it together someday. I'm almost her exact age - she's either a couple months older or younger than me - and I can't help but thinking that if she was quote-unquote normal, she'd be going to grad school or getting her career started right now. And she'd be a redhead and not have issues with anorexia and move away from her irresponsible family. And find the woman of her dreams, if she so wished.

    Sigh. I worry about her too much.

    This is so interesting. I can't believe the things that seem like they JUST happened (Jen and Brad) were that long ago. Or that some of the things happening at the same time (Tom and Nicole) weren't 20 years ago. Wow, memory sure is unreliable.

    @sarahmick.86 summer: I literally remember the day that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes announced they were dating. I was at a friend's house and her t.v. was on some crappy entertainment news show and they announced she was dating a famous male celebrity that she had had a crush on since she was a preteen. We all agreed this was creepy. Little did we know. Ah, naivety.
