Okay, yall – I checked, and April Fool’s Day is over, so this is for real. So sit back and just breathe in the crazy. From Female First:
“Dad-to-be Tom Cruise has vowed to eat the placenta of his newborn baby and plans to dine on the umbilical cord too.
The actor’s bizarre plans are sure to shock his legions of fans but the Hollywood heavyweight insists he plans to cook the unusual meal after fiancee Katie Holmes gives birth.
The 43 year-old star told America’s GQ magazine: “I’m going to eat the placenta. I thought that would be good. Very nutritious. I’m going to eat the cord and the placenta right there.”
Rod Stewart and fiancee Penny Lancaster celebrated the birth of their son Alastair by covering his placenta in tea tree oil and burying it in their garden.”
Yes, well, there’s a big difference between burying it in the backyard and EATING IT.
Honestly, thus far in the Tom Cruise saga we’ve been content to chuckle and shake our heads at his eccentricities, but now I think we’re heading into full-blown speculation of whether or not this guy is seriously mentally unbalanced.
By the way, the practice of eating your child’s placenta is called “placentophagia”; more from Wikipedia:
“Placentophagy is the term used to describe the act of mammals eating the placenta of their young after childbirth.
Those who advocate placentophagy in humans, mostly in modern America and Europe believe that eating the placenta prevents postpartum depression and other pregnancy complications. Human placenta tastes very similar to beef, with a springy texture similar to the heart.”
OKAY! So we’ve solved the mystery here. In order to ward off any kind of postpartum depression in Katie Holmes ala Brooke Shields and prevent an embarrassing situation in which he has to tell a potentially depressed Katie that “no, you can’t have drugs, but here’s some vitamins!”, he’s going to eat the placenta. Truly, truly, I’m at a loss here. I mean, wouldn’t KATIE need to eat it, not Tom, in order to really get the anti-depression magic? Either way, I’m totally gagging.
that is fucking discusting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that just ruined my thoughts about tom decided to do that gross!!!!!!!!1

[...] I think that’s cool that Brad is so involved. The real question though is will he eat the placenta?

[...] I don’t know how “joyous” they could be if they had to have the birth in complete silence…maybe they mimed everything? Like a game of Charades or something? And now, apparently, Tom has to eat the placenta with a side of fava beans and a nice Chianti; I’m guessing that he’ll try to slip a bite or two to Katie because it’s “supposed” to ward off post-partum depression, and GOOD LORD we all know Tom’s views on that particular subject, now, don’t we. google_ad_width = 336; google_ad_height = 280; google_color_border = “FFFFFF”; google_color_bg = “FFFFFF”; google_color_link = “BB0000″; google_color_url = “BB0000″; google_color_text = “111111″; google_ad_format = “336x280_as”; [...]
