A Hump Day Ponderable.

chalkboard-math2

As many of you know, a few days ago Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban celebrated the birth of their first child together.

Also as many of you know, two years ago Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes celebrated the birth of their first child together.

And also as many of you know, a handful of years ago Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise adopted two kids due to infertility:

So: if Nicole Kidman can have kids, and Tom Cruise can have kids, what’s with the infertility?

  2. Ah-ha! I see Bossy spends time pondering the very same things Mary Alice has pondered long and hard and has not been able to come up with a logical scientific reason.

  4. Bossy, at the risk of finally revealing myself as completely nerdy, I think I read in one of the those grocery checkout magazines that she got pregnant a couple times but miscarried.

    Okay, now I’m going back to reading War And Peace.

  5. I think the Church of Scientology wasn’t ready to let Tom reproduce yet. But now he’s gotten to a high enough level and can have spawn. That’s just my take on it.

    Reply

  6. Ooohhhhh… them’s fightin’ words! I’d look less for ‘scientific’ reasons than Scientology reasons!!

    The other question is: The Name. Tom’s famous over here for his ‘Lamb Roast’ ads (“I’d rather have a lamb roast than dinner with Tom Cruise”)… so the moniker Sunday Roast (I mean Rose) takes on a whole new pun/angle.

    Lets just hope the little darlin’ can sing. And move her eyebrows.

  7. Oh, that’s totally easy. Have you ever taken at look at Suri? She’s REALLY Keanu Reeve’s kid, so it’s Tom that’s infertile.

    Next question 😛

  8. Apparently, two wax figures cannot reproduce. They just get candles and/or cool, red wax lips.
    However, if one mixes the waxiness with a real, live human being (and I’m going out on a limb here with that Katie Holmes), little girls are produced.
    It’s a scientific fact.

  9. dunno. But, if I may split hairs and perhaps be a bit annoying, this isn’t Nicole’s “first child” — it’s her first biological child. She does have two other wonderful children. Just sayin’.

    Reply

  11. How do you know they adopted due to infertility? Maybe they wanted to adopt. Maybe Bossy should mind her own business. Love, An Adoptive Mom

    Reply

  14. I have been wondering the same thing! Didn’t Nicole just get pregnant like last week and now she had the baby with very little sign of a pregnant belly?? Hmmmmmmm.

    Reply

  15. Everyone knows that People magazine only reports the truth and THEY SAID that NICOLE SAID that TOMMY SAID they were infertile so they adopted. At least that’s what the DOCTOR’S SAID.
    I still think that Suri is Xenu’s baby.

    Reply

  16. That’s what I love about you Bossy! You are the queen of super slueths!

    Here’s my take on it…Tom WAS infertile. Then he became a High Holy Priest in that church of Scientology…key word is science..ANYTHING is possible with science and test tubes.

    Reply

  19. Based on what I’ve read about the Scientology “silent birth” experience, I think that if I were Nicole, I would have claimed infertility while hiding the pill under the floorboards.

    Sincerely,
    Inspector Tracy

  24. OMG. That is Nattie Ice in the corner there.

    Ahem. Sorry. Distracted.

    Tom can’t have kids! Didn’t you know? Suri was made from frozen Hubbard Sperm!!

    Reply

  25. I thought I heard Nicole didn’t want to get pregnant and ruin her figure when she was with Tom…possibly another crap rumor, but it’s fun to throw it out there, isn’t it?

    Reply

  26. Great question…one that keeps me up at night. Things aren’t always as they seem…especially in Hollywoodland!

    Reply

  27. who the hell would WANT to have sex with tom cruise in the first place?

    not me, baybee!

    Reply

  28. I have pondered this myself. I think that the Theta force of Tom’s sperm was resistant to the reduced thinking levels of Nicole’s eggs….that’s what I figure.

    By the way….you have received the Arte di Pico award over at my blog….time to pass it along to 5 other blogs that you love. cheers!

  30. When Katie was pregnant I was among those conspiracists who thought her bump was a prosthetic, but then Suri came out looking exactly like Tom’s side of the family. (Just compare her to a photo of Tom’s cousin William Mapother of “Lost” — maybe he’s the father???) I think Nicole’s pregnancy was the fake one. She was too vain to wear a realistic, huge, swollen, back-breaking prosthetic. Whose belly is that small at full term?

    Reply

  33. I just read recently, and I’m not ashamed to admit I read all the celebrity tabloids, that Nicole had a miscarriage early in her marriage to Tom and that they decided to adopt as a result.

    (Well maybe I’m a little ashamed to know this.)

    Reply

  38. As someone who was treated for infertility to have my first child and is now pregnant with no intervention, people’s fertility status can change. Still funny to poke some fun at others though!

    Reply

  39. I also heard that Nicole miscarried when she and Tom were still together.
    Although, who really knows what it fact or fiction with Hollyweird.

    Reply

  42. I think it was the stress of the goddamn marriage, and Nicole couldn’t carry to term because of it.

    True story – I KNOW a girl from a scientologist family. She’s no longer scientologist, but her whole family is. Freaky. Why do we even recognise it as a religion?

    Reply

  43. I always thought Nicole didn’t want to ruin her figure, but I am mean like that. Plus when they were first together having babies wasn’t as cool in hollywood as it is now. Just a thought…ftr I feel horrible if she really did have infertility and I think it si great that their children they adopted together have parents.

  45. Scientology= no drugs, silent births which would result in infertility for me that’s for sure!!

  47. Bossy has her finger on Pulse of the greatest questions! I’ve read through the comments and now I too know the answer.

    (i love the last pic of tom & nicole under a magnifying glass!)

    Reply

  48. I have often wondered who was the infertile one of the two. But I also wondered about Jennifer Aniston and Brad. I think the biggest mystery is whether any of these couples will stay together long enough to raise their children.

    Reply

  50. All of my theories have been stated above, but I am enjoying reading the new additions.

    I also think both pregnancies were fake.

    Reply

  51. It wasn’t a problem conceiving, it was a problem carrying to term, so they stopped trying. I don’t blame them one bit! It’s a crazy ride.

    I do think it’s interesting that they’ve gone on to have successful pregnancies with their new spouses…

    Reply

  52. Aw, Boss..Im going to leave this one up to you. Im sure you will get to the bottom of it and let us all know. Its all VERY obsurd and skeeeery. I think Keith is kind of looking a little too much like Barbies Ken. His hair looks WAAAAy better than mine, and the make up? My GAWD!! good luck.(as I upchuck)

  54. Tom was also married to Mimi Rogers and produced no kids with her, but she got preggers immediately with her new husband. Hmmmm. Tom’s cousin is totally the biological father of Suri. As for Nicole, remember when her hair was red and curly and she was cute? Her and Keith need to lay off the highlights and Botox. Tom needs to embrace his sexuality (if you know what I mean) and free Katie from her prison cell.

    Reply

  55. Sometimes two people who are just fine and fertile simply can’t make viable babies together. I know – we got pregnant 5 times with 6 babies in 8 years. Not a one made it past 3 months gestation, yet all our tests showed nothing wrong with either one of our teeny baby ingredients or the internal delivery and baby-growing and support plumbing. We ultimately adopted and have been happy parents ever since. I can’t imaging loving my kids any more just because we happened to share some DNA. Oh, and the “looks like a parent” thing can be totally random. One of our kids looks like me, one like my spouse.

    But I also want to say that not only are my toes tough enough to endure being stepped on, you didn’t even come close to squashing them with this post. I’ve often wondered the same thing about Tom and Nicole. Personally, I think Tom is gay and his kids with Katie are really Xenu’s offspring.

    Reply

  56. The solution actually is quite simple. Tom is gay, Katie was impregnated by aliens, and their child half-Remulacan.

    Reply

  58. Here’s the part where I admit that I didn’t know those kids were adopted. However the fact that one child is half black should have been my cue, apparently I’m not as bright as I once thought. Maybe the adoption was a sympathy thing, like hey we’re an awkward couple, maybe people will like us more. Or maybe like everyone says that Katie’s baby isn’t really Tom’s, but L Ron Hubbards sperm (oh how I love thee Examiner). I read too many trash mags..I’m just saying though.

  59. I heard from a local plastic surgeon who was at a pool party this weekend with some big time Hollywood people that:

    1. Kevin Spacey is gay
    2. Tom Cruise is gay and Suri was via invitro
    3. Brad Pitt sometimes wears a hairpiece

    I could not make that shit up.

  64. LMAO! Bossy, this was da bomb! I had never given it much thought until now. I think that the commenters were right about the miscarriages early in Tom and Nicole’s marriage. That was the reason for adoption. I’m glad to see they can both procreate though. Where would the world be without some super-hot spawn to populate it? And anyways, somebody’s kids have to be the bad examples later on in life…who wants to place bets as to who’s kid ends up in jail??

    Reply

  66. When Nicole & Tom were together he was at his prime. Let’s not forget Top Gun, even though Tommy’s a bit freaky now. I think Suri isn’t his. And I know a girl that barely shows when she’s pregnant – she just carries them in more.

    Also, those 2 adopted kids of theirs are REALLY cute. Wow. I like them a lot. Hope they turn out okay.

    Reply

  69. Burn!

    I still think that Suri is Ron L. Hubbard’s (or whatever his last name was) child from frozen specimen.

    Maybe Nic & Tom “tried”, but she didn’t want to bring up a biological child in Scientology. She’s Catholic, is she not?

    Reply

  70. My guess? Tom shoots blanks.

    As far as Nick miscarrying Tom’s (?) baby? It was right around the time he filed for divorce without making public the reason saying “Nick knows why.”

    And his first wife? Tom and she couldn’t conceive. She, Mimi Rogers, and her current hubs have 2 kids.

    Katie? Umm, did anyone else think of “Rosemary’s Baby” when all that was going on?

    Reply

  71. Now that Tom has married a younger, dumber and naive girl-then I believe the Church of Scientology gave them their blessings. Katie does not have enough life experience to see through all the BS. I wonder what her parents think, especially her father?!

    Reply

  73. bossy did say “their first child together” peeps. not nicole’s first child. you did seem to step on some piggies with this one. i do always wonder why mags and rags (yes i read them) always call conor and isabelle their ‘adopted’ children. they are just their children no matter where they came from, right? next thing you know you’ll see “babette and tree are the ivf children of brad and angelina.”

    Reply

  74. I thought she never admitted to being infertile at all, and that that’s why all the gay rumors started about Tom. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

    And in person, she doesn’t look like wax. Pretty (not as pretty as pictures) and painfully thin. My daughter sees her at Starbucks all the time.

    They named the baby Sunday, but she was born on Monday. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. (I think it’s stupid.)

    Reply

  75. …..Suri is Chris Klien’s child ( Katie’s ex). They faked the last part of her pregnancy so the “due date” would match….remember, there were no pictures of Suri until she was “three” months old.

    Nicole did say she had a miscarriage while married to that nutter, er, I mean Tom Cruise.

    Umm…I need a life.

    Reply

  76. Mommymae beat me to it. The media, as an afterthought to biological baby glee, always mention Tom and Nicole’s adopted children. With the special emphasis and everything. It’s like they’re writing with all the social stigmas of 50 years ago, but none of the tact.

    And yes, Nicole needs to bring back curly! Preferably unmanageable, frizzy, Hermione-head curly. Just in case someday I decide to move back to a place with humidity. 🙂

    Reply

  79. Ok, I thought I was the only one wondering that very same thing. Then I got to thinking… sex with either one of them would be gross, so I can see where it might be difficult to conceive, you know?

    Reply

  80. Remember when Tom and Nic broke up? And Tom told some reporter, ‘Nic knows what she did to break up our marriage’?

    I have ALWAYS suspected that it had something to do with babymaking, or rather, failure to babymake. Like maybe she refused to lie still for the turkey baster?

    Reply

  81. MSN.com ran a headline on Tuesday: “What actress became a new mom at 41?” WTF? Doesn’t she already have TWO children? Are these kids just shoved aside now that Tom and Nicole have managed to procreate (separately, of course)? That headline just pissed me off.

  84. I just never knew that Keith Urban was slightly shorter than Nicole until now. Forget the kid mysteries; what is it with her and the short guys?

    Reply

  85. Ok, I used to pay medical claims for Tom and Nicole many, many years ago. And I signed a non-disclosure thingamajob and I have no idea how long my non-disclosure thingy is in effect so I can’t share what I know. But I do know that none of us that paid these claims ever saw anything about infertility for these two come in. There were other.. *ahem*… claims that may explain the situation but I’m too chicken to say.

    But I will say this: I don’t think EITHER of them are infertile.

    Reply

  87. Now that is a question for the ages. I guess we can all conclude that Bossy stopped obsessing over John Cusack for just long enough to put all of that together, because that? That was some deep thinkin’ goin’ on right there.

    Reply

  89. I’d never thought about that before…

    Surely the TomKat heights are more the other way around? Maybe Tom has taken to hanging out with Suri these days, and rejected Katie because she refused to squat a little bit every time photographers came by. You know what? If I was Katie Holmes, I’d just buy my husband some stilts.

    Reply

  90. I think Suri is Oprah’s baby.

    And when did Nicole Kidman get together with that Achy-Brachiating father of Hannah Montana, or am I just WAY out of the loop?

    Just dun’t pay to git up some days.

    Reply

  92. My understanding was that Nic had a miscarriage or two while she and Tom were still “in love.” Then they adopted Isabelle and Connor. Then she had another miscarriage and they got divorced. I am a little fuzzy on whether the miscarriage a) caused the divorce b) was caused by the divorce c) had nothing to do with the divorce or d) had nothing to do with anything at all because it wasn’t Tom’s.

    So anyway, we move on and now Tom is the father of 3 children and Nic is the mother of 3 children – each of whom have one that could be said to have an unusual name and that child would be the biological child. Hopefully, all the children will grow up happy and healthy.

  94. I’m an adopted kid. Um… I was a kid, now I’m a big people. Anywho…

    My mom and dad weren’t publicity seekers who had a publicist call up the media to let them know they had fertility issues, they didn’t act all noble and sacrificing and “honorable” and contact the media to let them know when my brother and I were adopted.

    These Hollyweird types like to flaunt their “goodness” to the world – they disgust and nauseate me, and their hipocritical posturing should in no way be considered “typical” of any other parents, bio or adopted. The adoptive moms who’ve taken offense need to chill a bit.

    Us “kids” know who our PARENTS are.

    Reply

  95. As someone who is infertile and exploring the adoption route, I was NOT offended by Bossy. In fact, I’ve been wondering the same thing. I’m on the conspiracy boat – fake pregnancy for Nicole and prior boyfriend pregnacy for Kat(i)e. Thanks for putting out there what we’ve all been wondering, Bossy!

    Reply

  96. I know that Nicole had a miscarriage right around the time Tom asked for a divorce, and I’ve also heard the rumor that there was a miscarriage early in the marriage. So I think they were able to get pregnant, but it may be that Nicole had problems staying pregnant. (Not that I would know anything about this…spontaneous aborter, who? what?) Adoption is a wonderful option even if you can have biological kids, but if you can’t or it is heartbreaking to try, it’s easy to see why people might go that route.

    That said, Suri is TOTALLY Xenu’s kid…

    Reply

  99. I actually wondered that same thing when it came out that Nicole was pregnant. I thought it was due to HER infertility that she and Tom adopted. And really? Tom’s baby looks 100% like Katie, so who knows if he’s the baby daddy??!!

    Reply

  102. Are you ready for the truth Bossy. I have a friend who is in the biz, this is what she says. Tom is gay, but he is too popular with the female audience to have that be public so his marriages are arranged. He was dating Nicole’s brother, that is why he was “married” to Nicole. They didn’t have kids because they were not doing the duty. Tom and Nic’s bro split up and so does the “marriage”, that is why it was so sudden looking. Tom’s people go looking for the next wife and apparently they approached a few people before Katie, but there were no takers. Katie signs on, literally, there is a contract! Tom makes a mistake with the Brook Shields thing, and looses a huge chunk of his female audience. Sooo now he has to become lovable again, enter Suri. She was conceived by artificial insemination.
    There you go.

  103. I don’t know if anyone suggested this already bcuz I’m reading via palm pilot, which is torture. but I think this is the answer: nicole never became a scientolobot. bots only reproduce with other bots.

  104. the laws of logic don’t apply in the realm of scientology. OR, the baby wasn’t in the first contract, & required in the second.

  105. Apparently, Bossy, you haven’t read L. Ron Hubbard’s lesser-known work: “Battlefield Semen.” Humankind finds fertility after unleashing ludicrity about prescription drugs…

    It’s one hell of a read.

  106. Who even cares? I’m just thankful that Bossy cast Tom as a headless doll…that creepy grin of his just weirds me out!

    And Nicole…don’t get me started on her evil grin!

    Reply

  107. Wasn’t Katie dating Chris Klein before she met Tom Cruise? He looks a lot like Suri as well.

    I hear that is why they wouldn’t let Suri get photographed for so long: They had to fudge her birth date by a couple of months to make the Chris-Katie-Tom time line work.

    Reply

  108. That’s because it’s not really Tom’s kid. Suri was fathered by Katie’s Ex: Chris Klein. She kinda even looks a little like him.

  110. I am a firm believer that this was one case in which the co-mingling of genetic material was not necessarily such a stellar idea. Mother Nature be a wise bitch, sometimes.

  111. And let’s not forget Tom’s first marriage to Mimi Rogers; rumor was that they split because TC insisted on remaining celibate.

  113. This is such an easy question to answer, and it involves Saturn.

    Clearly, neither Tom nor Nicole drove Saturns when they were together. ‘Cause I remember when Bossy got pregnant by a Saturn.

    Reply

  120. I had read, too, that infertility (the miscarriage type, not the failure-to-conceive type) was their reason for adopting. My feeling is that there is indeed a fishy, never-to-be-revealed understory here somewhere, and I think it might be TWO understories: Tom infertile and using a family member’s sperm; Nicole not wanting to wreck her body and wearing a fake belly.

    But I would like to specifically point out that I am talking ONLY for fun and ONLY about weird celebrities, and not for reals or about the adoptive/non-adoptive/infertile/fertile community at large or what THEIR motivations/situations might or might not be or have been. Geez, there were some touchy comments up there!

    Reply

  122. While if it were me, I’d be claiming infertility too, just to get Creepy Tom away from me at night, she DID marry the dude so presumably liked him. I think he was just too lame for her.

    My $2 million question, though, is WHO is LOVING those first two kids right now? Because I see all this “lalalala look little Suri is walking!” and “tralalalalee I live in Nashville now!” and those two older ones? No one ever hears word one about them! It saddens me on their behalf.

    Reply

  124. I think maybe the reason Tom & Nicole split was that he couldn’t figure out a way to get the turkey baster with Hubbard’s sperm into her without her finding out and pulling a psycho number on him. Maybe she just couldn’t be convinced so Tom thought, “Hmmm for wifey #3 I will try younger and more naive. Maybe someone who is not as big of a star as me…” Enter Katie Holmes. Oh and no worries about her star power outshining his if she keeps up with Mad Money-type flicks. So I guess Baby Hubbard/Holmes/Cruise will be on its way soon.

  136. In a previous life, I used to type up contracts for celebrities who bought their wives… where they had to stay married for X years to receive Y dollars and they’d receive Z more dollars if they had between 1-5 kids (sliding scale).

    And then there were the celebrities who were not really supposed to be seen with a member of the same sex alone having a romantical dinner so they got “married” and either adopted, had kids or pretended to be pregnant… until they could quietly adopt a kid from outside the US.

    Ahhhh Hollywood…

    Reply

  137. Uh yeah, what she said.

    I don’t know how any celebs can function at all, what with all the photographers and “journalists” trying to get a piece of them. Like.. “Honey, I feel like there’s someone peeking through our bedroom window with one of those ultra-telephoto lenses or something.” If you were most people, they would think you’re nuts, but if you were Tom/Nicole/Katie/Keith, they might also think you’re nuts (OK, Tom at least), but also yeah, there are probably peeping photographers outside your window too…

    So the answer is: d) all of the above.

  143. This is such a funny post. I love all the comments too. At first I thought both pregnancies were fake, but I’ve since reconsidered after seeing Suri. She looks just like Tom/Katie. We’ll have to wait and see with Sunday. What a strange name. Why must celebrities choose such odd names?

    Having been through infertility treatments for four years with my husband, sometimes a particular couple can’t make it work. But if those two people were to break up and have sex with other folks, then they might have a better chance. It has something to do with chemical compatibility.

    Or maybe Nicole really is made of wax and Tom only shoots blanks. Who knows?

  162. Dude.
    There’s TOTALLY a Tom Cruise ad on the side of this post. I didn’t read through all the bazillion comments, so I don’t know if someone else said it, but it’s making me laugh so, so hard.

    Hilarious.
