Oh, Tom, you were SO close!
LOVE the fact that you went back on the Today Show to clear the air - ahem - promote your new movie and that you apologized - and even acknowledged that you were arrogant back in 2005. But, apparently, you don’t quite understand the whole problem.
Not to re-open old wounds, but attacking Brooke Shields for using anti-depressants to treat post-part depression was not only ‘glib’ – it showed that you know absolutely nothing about women. I know you’ve tried; you’ve been on Oprah a couple times and we all know she is THE woman, and you supported Katie when she went on Broadway and walked around New York with Suri like you were Mr. Mom, but… you slipped up.
Come on, you HAD to expect the “another baby?” question. And why not have an answer prepared? Certainly anything would have been better than “I think that’s the question for the women.” That makes it sound like Debra Messing, Meg Ryan, and Annette Bening are going to be making the decision for you, or that Katie is living up on your mountain resort with a coven or a sorority and you just pop in for the occasional visit.
Oh.
Instead of sounding like the affable husband you sounded condescending and uninvolved. It kinda sounded like “If she needs my sperm I’m there, otherwise I stay out of it.”
Oh.
All right, then. Maybe that was the right answer.

Oh you’re so funny! I love this blog post! I have not like Tom since…well…Top Gun. I don’t like his arrogance and know-it-all attitude. When he came out talking bs about post partum depression I wanted to strangle him! ‘Thanks Tom! I feel so much better now that you told me that vitamins will help me get over my depression! Wow…my doctor sure is an idiot!’ Yeah, I think not! Stick with “acting” please.
As far as the whole “another baby” thing goes. I don’t really understand what he was trying to say. I guess he’s, like you said, just the sperm donor. lol He seems like a good dad to Suri and that’s great but ya know we never saw pics of his other kids (with Nicole Kidman) until he got together with Katie. Why? Were they keeping a low profile? I don’t get that.
And about Katie, I have to say, aside from her being married to Tom I really do like her. I’ve liked her since the first season of Dawson’s Creek (dork alert) and I really think that she’s a good actress.
