Breakfast at Tiffany's – Because I Do Not Know

The End of TomKat?

The first sign that a celebrity couple is over is when they deny that are over. So stick a fork in the sham beard that was Tommy Tooth and Katie Needsasandwich:

Reps for Cruise and fiancee Katie Holmes were in super-spin mode Tuesday, furiously issuing denials after Life & Style published a "malicious" Valentine's Day story, claiming the entity otherwise known as TomKat was kaput.

In a press release and brief report on its Website, the glossy touted its Feb. 27 cover story, which bears the headline "SPLIT! And Katie's 7 Months Pregnant."

The story and press release went out shortly after noon PT. By 1 p.m., Cruise and Holmes' joint denial was in circulation.

"It should be known that the story is 100 percent false," publicist Arnold Robinson said in a statement. "Mr. Cruise and Ms. Holmes are still engaged and are moving forward with their wedding plans, as well as planning for the arrival of their child."

In other words, they are now negotiating the child support payments.

This is your brain ... this is your brain after 40 years of hardcore drug use:

Country music outlaw Willie Nelson sang "Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys" and "My Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys" more than 25 years ago. He released a very different sort of cowboy anthem this Valentine's Day.

"Cowboys Are Frequently, Secretly (Fond of Each Other)" may be the first gay cowboy song by a major recording artist. But it was written long before this year's Oscar-nominated "Brokeback Mountain" made gay cowboys a hot topic.

Available exclusively through iTunes, the song features choppy Tex-Mex style guitar runs and Nelson's deadpan delivery of lines like, "What did you think all them saddles and boots was about?" and "Inside every cowboy there's a lady who'd love to slip out."

What the ... ? Willie has always been the odd bird of the country music outlaws, but this is off the reservation even for him. Next thing we'll find out is that Pancho and Lefty were having homo hoedowns.

Pancho was a bandit boy,
His horse was fast as polished steel
He wore his gun outside his pants
For all the honest world to feel.

On second thought ...

In the midst of Brokeback shopping lists and buying Danish cheese, I forgot to announce a BaT milestone: visitor No. 10,000. The honored guest came to us Monday at 1:12:41 p.m., is from Los Angeles and followed a referral from Boi from Troy. Thanks to everyone for caring enough to stop by -- especially those who leave a comment.

It would be too much to hope that the Tommy and Katie Show was coming to an end(I personally will feel cheated if they don't hold their wedding on the Black Yacht or hold some Rosemary's Baby style shower)-yet us just hope they don't decide to give birth on Oprah's couch or something equally insane:(

Oh,and did you know Madonna has a hernia? Not surpising,really-with all the boombox humping she's been doing lately,something's gotta give!

I am so over TomKat... I think the whole thing is borderline cult if you ask me.

THAT'S L. RON HUBBARDS BABY!! MARK MY WORDS!!!

And as far as the Willie Nelson song, I say awesome... we need more good things about us out there. I may even have to get this one on iTunes... "He was a Friend of Mine" was so good...

I so hope that this is true, because I can't wait until they get Katie reprogrammed in the real world and she can tell the world all the crazy crap Tommy has been up to!

Congrats BaT.
Does this count as a comment?

Speaking of celebrity couples, I've heard rumblings that Madonna isn't wearing her wedding ring. Hmmm, do you think they have some little L. Ron's frozen somewhere, Duane?

Good angle, Matt, I hadn't thought of that. But the cult mafia would probably silence her with cash. And, Dave, yes it counts as a comment -- barely.
