Gestation Sensation

In what is truly a measure of the miracles of modern science, everyone's favourite living, breathing wax statue Nicole Kidman is with child. La Kidman, [who in The Golden Compass has proven effectively for once and for all that her acting skills much like Sampson were dependent on her once resplendent mane] and hunky and highlighted hubby Keith [they tried to make me go to rehab and I said great career move]Urban are expecting their first sprog sometime this summer.

Never one to cast aspersions on Hollywood proclivities towards disposable children, but doesn't anyone else feel just a wee bit sad for original adopted kids Connor and Isabella, who have to take a giant step back now that Nicole and Tom are reproducing on their own? Just saying.

So Does Anyone Actually Believe That Katie Ran The Marathon?

Gotta love the triumphant photos of Katie Holmes crossing the finish line of the NYC Marathon on Sunday to hug Tom and that cute little Suri. (yes, I love the kid- get over it, I'm bitter not immune to the charm of babies).

Here are the facts as cobbled together through various sources:

• Katie looks all kinds of relaxed at the finish line- not a bead of sweat, expression of agony or even a heavy duty sports bra in sight!
• Katie partied later that night- in high heels. Because EVERYONE can squeeze their agonized tootsies into stilettos (okay, a medium heel since she's trying not to tower over her itty bitty hubby) after running 26.2 miles and more than that, they're also up for a party!
  
• No one saw hide nor hair of her until mile 15 when Tom & Suri appeared for a photo op (though OK magazine apparently reported she'd be running weeks before the fact), and Katie's face was hidden from view for most of the time until said photo op. Now that doesn't make me think for even one second that maybe one of those nice Scientology kids was running in Katie's stead for the beginning of the race, nah- that would never happen.
  

I don't know, maybe I'm just overly skeptical of celebrity stunts, but I so don't believe that she actually ran the entire marathon and it just dilutes it for the (masochistic, insane adrenaline junkies) athletes who trained and deserve the recognition.

Oh, and Paula Radcliffe? We're glad that you won, really. We just still remember that pee break you took at the London Marathon.
