Unfortunately, her claim to fame was marrying Tom Cruise

I love SMG, butno. Her career became troubled when Scooby-Doo 2 was her first post-Buffy flick. The Grudge was even a surprise hit to her own talent agent, and she made a string of unreleased/straight-to-DVD films from 2005 until Ringer hit The CW. She never quite managed to rise above genre filmsteen, family, and then horroror forge her own screen persona outside of "Buffy Summers".
As for Katie, her career was in this weird transition stage post-DC, where her acting was critically acclaimed, but her film roles weren't strong enough to push her into the A-list (they were either indie, or she was secondary lead, or it was a flop mainstream film). If she hadn't hooked up with Tom, there is a chance she could have had, say, Anne Hathaway's career, but now we'll never know because her fame as Tom's wife/ex-wife/Scientologist escapee overshadows her acting. -

Sarah did not chose to be a full time mom. She starred in a TV show last year but it was cancelled. She has tried to come back but hasnt had much luck yet Im sure Sarah will eventually find a new TV show though, I actually have higher hopes for her than Katie.

Mimi Rogers' career was bigger after divorcing Tom Cruise? I'd say it remained on the same trajectory it was on pre-Cruise. And Kidman began to really blow up around her divorce to Cruise, but since her Oscar, she's struggled to remain relevant. Lots of low budget art films111c typical of someone trying to build a career, not sustain one. I'm thinking it has to do with finding good parts at her age, which is difficult for an actress.

Sarah Michelle Gellar is not a has-been. She may not be an A-list celebrity but just because an actor isn't an A-list celebrity doesn't mean they're a has-been. A has-been is someone who is no longer relevant or popular, but she still is because she was on Ringer in 2012, although that show was cancelled, she was still on the air. Now she is in The Crazy Ones with Robin Williams which has had great reviews and I see it lasting far longer than Ringer did. Not to mention, Buffy the Vampire Slayer is still one of the most popular shows around, it gains new fans every single day so most people know who she is. She is more of a TV actress.
Sarah has also said that she wanted to take time of to take her of her daughter. -

I tend to agree. She was always exceptionally attractive, with the run way model features and the girl next door charm. The type of fame she recieved for her perverse marriage to Tom Cruise is not good fame. It doesn't pay anything, and it made her miserable. I call it perverse in that there is a 17 year age difference, and because Tom Cruise is a brain-washed megalomaniac a**hole.
The good news is that she is only 33, and has a beautiful daughter. She is young enough to start over and have a happy life. I could see her getting a good TV gig and having a nice career again.
Meanwhile Tom Cruise can wallow in his delusional misery. H111copefully, they can keep Suri away from him forever. -

This may have already been responded to but, damn, that's pretty harsh! He
is
the girl's father, after all. You're talking about Cruise as if he's the anti-Christ or something. -

I don't really care too much one way or another but I really don't think the guy is gay.
It all depends on whether or not your are gay yourself. I am and it sang out loud and clear to me the first time I saw him when I was 16 in RISKY BUSINESS. It is something you just sense. Tom Cruise could be bisexual, (I doubt though that he has a preference for women) and he is most certainly not straight as a die.

Maybe he is and my "gaydar" isn't as sharp as yours. LOL!
It most likely wont be, if you are straight. Many guys that are proudly straight, can tend to get a tad uncomfortable with the prospect of one of their favorite stars being labelled as gay. It could just be considered a wish fulfillment fantasy concocted by gay men; but the reverse is also true of wanting someone to be straight as well. Instinct is the best option, if it is well honed.

'Okay well, like I said, it's not a real big deal to me'
Seems like it's a very BIG deal with people. But I'm glad it's not a big deal with you.
It's not just due to 'gaydar', since just as many masculine(hetero)acting men are gay,something people would just as soon forgetyou know, since it's not a big deal. -

cal67 — 12 years ago(December 19, 2013 03:39 PM)I would say that much of what the aloof attitude of
The_Dougstar
is (and many other proud to be a straight males), is pretty much the reason why there is so much denial and avoidance issues regarding homosexuality and homophobia in our society. They are afraid of the cold hard truth and it stings!
Deep down inside, it triggers of an aspect of themselves that they have not wanted to acknowledge and they want their masculine dominated ego's under control and reigned in. -

Firstly, It's The_Dougs
ter
. I never claimed to be a
star
. LOL! Secondly, why the attitude? How am I being aloof? And who the hell is claiming to be "proud to be straight"? I just never got the vibe that Cruise is gay. There's no "cold hard truth that stings" me. What a bunch of sanctimonious crap!

You can spare me your pseudo-psychiatry as well. -

Don't you think The_Dou@hster would be more appropriate?

Whatever! You are just protecting your own over nurtured ego and sense of masculinity. You are deeply, deeply asleep if you can't see the obvious.
You can spare me your pseudo-psychiatry as well.
Thats ok! It is up to you how and if you process the information. My consultations are for free.
