Tom and Katie's Divorce -- already finalized

[fashionx]

Crazy how fast they came to an agreement. Maybe there was no room to argue what with the prenup, and Tom probably didn't want any Scientology stuff to be exposed. Still, interesting.

Am I the only one who may believe the rumor he is gay and their marriage was a sham -- just like his marriage to Nicole Kidman? Having Suri really threw me off but I am not sure what it think now.

No, you're not.

[fashionx]

All 3 of his wives divorced him at 33 years old.

I didn't want to believe the sham thing at first -- not because I like them, but I find it hard to believe people in general could do that -- but it makes sense.

There's a whole lot of strange going on! Wish I knew the full story, it's intriguing.

Agreed!

If he was so "blindsided" by the divorce, as the media maintains, then why would a divorce settlement would be reached so quickly? There's a lot of weird stuff surrounding the whole thing.

There was talk she was going to out him and 3 other high profile men so he gave her what she wanted.

It's his people maintaining him being blindsided, not the media. They are only reporting statements at the moment that he is paying a lot of money to a PR firm to maintain. I expect that to change once more dirt comes out. Something is bound to leak from somewhere any day now.

The speed of it definitely means there's something going on that has not leaked yet. It will though since there's always damage to underlings and they sell their story once they are out.

I am another supporter of this theory. There are so many rumors around the entertainment industry that he is gay (apparently he and Will Smith are/were hooking up).

If he is in fact gay, I just wish he was comfortable coming out. I don't understand people not being true to themselves, and I'm not sure we should be blaming society or the people themselves.

[fashionx]

I feel like in most place these days, there is not much "backlash" for coming out as gay. Especially in Hollywood which is very liberal. I don't see how something like that would hurt your career. I understand it more if you live in a small town and people are more judgey, and/or don't know other gay people and you might be scared. Or if your family is ultra conservative. But again, as a celebrity, I just don't get why you'd be closeted anymore.

I don't know if I buy into the whole "gay" thing for him. I think that's almost too easy an excuse for people to automatically go to since he's had multiple marriages that have failed, but lets not forget that Scientology is super weird. If anything, I think that has more to do with this whole thing, and the golden child of scientology wouldn't want any more bad press getting out his peeps and their practices.

The 3 "high profile men" could have just as well been concerned friends also in the biz that have seen Tom change dramatically as a result of Scientology?

I don't think we'll ever know the full extent of the details to this story, but I agree that its super intriguing!

I totally believe that he is gay. Think about it, there is a high percentage of gay men who are involved with the theater. Why is there such a low percentage of gay men in Hollywood? If TC came out as gay, it would not just be your run of the mill actor coming out. That would be HUGE and, as much as I hate to say it, it may just ruin his career. He is seen as a sex symbol to women.

I also think Will Smith is gay. I would not think this is it was not for the rumors or for the fact that I was told from a pretty credible source that his wife is a lesbian. I could see them marrying each other to become a Hollywood power family, but each having their own things on the side.

I def think there was a contract. Too many other females with pretty much the same type of fame as KH came out as saying they were approached by Tom's people. I think he wanted a new relationship to rejuvenate his career. Yea, TC is a Hollywood legend, but his career has had some stale moments. KH probably thought 5 years is nothing if it means her career blowing up. That's just some of my thoughts. I would love to know the truth!

See but theatre acting and Hollywood/movie acting are VERY different things, so I wouldn't come to that conclusion just because he is a Hollywood/mainstream actor. Granted, he did some stage acting in school when he was younger, but so do a lot of boys that aren't gay. To me, all of the men I know that are theatre actors (which is a lot, due to my college) went to school specifically for theatre and have STAYED in theatre. Very few have gone on to do any film. A small few of them are gay, but certainly not all of them, so I don't think its fair to make that assumption. It seems like screen actors are the ones who tend to be "discovered" as models and who don't always necessarily go to school for acting. Not the case for everyone, of course, but one's path to theatre vs screen acting usually looks pretty different.

He may very well be gay, but even so, that is SO not the only issue going on here.

I totally agree that this would ruin his career. Hollywood is liberal but the masses are not. When you are a sex symbol you bank on women fantasizing about you.

I had heard things a out Travolta from my hairdresser years ago and did not believe it. I just started hearing Will Smith rumors which is sad to me but may explain the 90s paint splatter look.

I just do not get having kids as part of the "cover." a fake marriage is one thing. Fake family?? I just don't get it.

See, I don't think they are all that different when it comes to who they attract. Yes, there are differences, but we aren't comparing apples to oranges. You would think there would be a much higher percentage of actors in Hollywood who are gay.

Yea, I agree that this is definitely not the only issue going on here. I was wondering if TC is so into Scientology b/c he is high-ranking and respected and God knows he is a narcissistic egomaniac.

I don't get the rumors about Will Smith. I think he's just a casualty from the Scientology/closeted gay backlash.

Ditto. I just don't like the rumors at all. I always hate seeing "gay" rumors about celebrities in the media...it makes me feel icky like its just perpetuating the idea that being gay is a bad/horrible/disgusting thing, which it isn't.

I think it stems from the rumor of him and his wife being swingers, and Jada being bi.

Personally, I think it's more than Tom being just "gay". The world can handle gay; I think he has some crazy sexual fetishes that include men. I bet he's into some nasty shit, and THAT'S what they're trying to hide. Same for John T.

I agree with you. JUST being gay is not enough reason to be so secretive.

But about having kids, I don't think it's a fake family issue, gay people have desires to have children and family just as much as straight people. And if they are in this agreement/fake marriage, doesn't mean they're not friends with their spouse. Obviously a lot of trust needs to be involved in a couple, but that doesn't mean their kids are just for show or unwanted or anything like that. Not that it makes the situation less weird, but I'm just saying they probably want their kids because they want kids, not because it makes their family more legitimate.

He'll be jumping on Oprah's couch in no time.

LOL! I'm sure he's got his next "victim" picked out already.
