OK, so Tom Cruise bought a sonogram machine to monitor his girlfriend, Katie Holmes' pregnancy. On first glance, this might just seem to be an overzealous future father using his enormous wealth to do what any father would do. On closer inspection, though, it reeks of hypocrisy and stupidity.

First, sonograms on demand are a damn stupid idea. They use radiation in those things, Tommy boy, and it's not too wise to expose a developing fetus to a constant dose just to satisfy your egotistical whims. Then there's the matter of electrical usage. I'm pretty sure sonograms are NOT low wattage appliances, and using them in energy starved southern California is wasting energy that could best be used elsewhere.

Then there's the fact that Scientology boy criticizes other individuals, most notably Brooke Shields, for their use of medications to improve their condition. If Tom doesn't think other people should avail themselves of medical advances, why should he? If he and Katie are up on all their Scientology therapies, there shouldn't be any risk to the baby to monitor.

Tom Cruise has repeatedly shown that the beliefs he endorses are standards for OTHER PEOPLE, not for him. By embodying the concept of Hollywood waste and self indulgence, he's shown himself to be an idiot's idiot.

Nice job, Maverick!
