This shows you how bereft of excitement my life is--I watch Oprah sometimes--sometimes. Oprah's gotten on this kick where she has a Doctor OZ (his real name) on all the time. He does entire shows lecturing about how your guts work and how poop is formed, etc and so on. Her audience isn't there to hear about poop--they're there hoping it's the day when she'll give away cars. Besides, that doctor looks at her all mooney eyed, like he's starving and she's a perfectly sauteed pork chop. Get over the crush, doc.
Anyhoo, yesterday Oprah was invited up to Tom Cruise's place in Telluride to interview him. It was about three years ago when he appeared on her show and jumped up and down on her couch, exultant over his new girl friend Katie. That clip became fodder for comedians and had people asking if he was looney tunes. His popularity plummeted, his movies fell out of favor--especially after a clip of him preaching at a Scientology meeting was put on the Internet. The boy has some weird ideas.
Then he lambasted Brooke Shields for saying she had post partum depression and took medication for it and he didn't approve (those Scientologist really have some weird beliefs.) So Oprah asked him about all those things, and he tried to put a positive spin on things he'd said. He actually accused Oprah of egging him on to do the couch jumping thing.
They were sitting on a couch in his living room with a spectacular view of snow capped mountains. Every room has these mountain vistas, an utterly beautiful place, the ultimate multi millionaire log cabin type structure. Oprah had her shoes off with one foot tucked under her--later she had both feet on the couch. She said "I feel so comfortable."
Cruise looked uncomfortable with her questions, and with Oprah. I bet as soon as she left, he had that couch sanitized and steam cleaned. He seemed uptight, a control freak, trying to come across as a regular guy. He lit up, though, every time his daughter Suri's name was mentioned.
Parting shots: I'm not being catty, but "O" looked tired and old, and that curly wig parted in the middle is the most unflattering hairstyle she's ever worn--she shoulda thrown that rug off the side of the mountain as she was leaving. And Tom isn't my favorite actor, but I like the way he laughs. Susil
