Tom Cruise boasts of eating placentaBEIJING, April 18 (Xinhuanet)-- Tom Cruise boasted about eating fianc?e Katie Holmes's placenta when baby Cruise is born, Cruise said in an interview.The Mission: Impossible III actor, 43, said: "I thought that would be good. Very nutritious. I am gonna eat the cord and the placenta right there"But when it was pointed out it would be a very big meal, he retorted: "OK. Maybe I won't."Though some claim that eating afterbirth may help prevent post-partum depression, it won't help the mom if dad eats it. Placentophagia, eating the placenta, is practised in many cultures, but it is less common in western society. In 1998 a British TV chef fried a placenta and served it to his guests.The baby, rumored to be a girl, is due any day and the couple plan to wed in the summer. They have been engaged since last June.With the little one expected soon, speculations surrounding Katie Holmes' childbirth have been flying high.Cruise and Holmes are professed followers of the Church of Scientology, which stipulates "silent birth".Last week Cruise told US chat show host Diane Sawyer that 27-year-old Holmes, in the final stages of her pregnancy with their first child, will practice "quiet birth."Cruise explained that "quiet birth," which aims to minimize talk and other noise inside the delivery room," is "basically just respecting the mother.""She does what she's gotta do," he explained, addressing speculation that such a practice would deny her pain medication. "If she needs medicine, she needs medicine."According to the tenets of Scientology, words spoken during birth and other painful times may traumatize the infant."It's all about no talking, no unnecessary talking during the delivery -- and that way the mother is calm and she's got a lot of work to do, but there's no problem with her making noise. It's just no spoken words," said Pat Felske, a spokesperson for the Church of Scientology of Toronto, who has had four children with the silent birth method.As medical staff are also instructed not to speak, they must communicate using gestures and hand signals.</div>
I heard about the placenta thing, and actually I don't think it's that weird. I mean, for centuries warriors have eaten the hearts of those they kill, in some South American tribes a family would all eat a meal that the main course was a dead love one (who had died already, not killed for the food) because that way they would be a part of you forever, and a part of your kids, when your kids ate your flesh it just continues it.Respect the different cultures.
Cmon man, He's eating her placenta....lolIt maybe be some sort of tribal tribute or some 'Scientology' idea, but either way its really weird IMO.

Look, that's a freaking placenta... no further comments except that's <u><span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:100%">putrid</span></u>.
Oh, come on guys, give the man some respect, i really like some of his movies but I dont know why you guys don't like him? I think he is a cool person. Don't have anything against him.
I don't mind Tom Cruise I love his movies, but I think his diet and religion are a little out of whack.
His movies were great but his personality is the epitome of annoying.Does he know when to shut the f*ck up? He goes over the top on everything.I love how he always clarifies his views on scientology right when he knows it will benefit himself and only himself."If she needs medicine, she needs medicine." Uhh what happened to taking vitamin A Tom?But exactly how do you consume a placenta? Fried, boiled, grilled, raw? It sounds nasty either way.

They should make it a Fear Factor event.EAT A PLACENTA AND MOVE ONTO THE NEXT ROUND! I don't think I'd be able to bite into it.
i liked Speed, and the first Mission Impossible...but Cruise is psycho....this whole scientology thing is a load of crap...its only practiced by rich people in hollywood and only seems to come out in the open when a new movie is coming out (Cruise) or if they are trying to get interest in a TV show (Isaac Hayes)
