Surprise! Barbara Walters Finds Obama Most Fascinating

LibertySugar — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 09:30:00 -0800

President-elect Barack Obama has topped Barbara Walters's list of the Most Fascinating People of 2008. The ABC special aired last night, and last year the honor of Most Fascinating Person went to Harry Potter author JK Rowling. While many people probably agree that Obama is the most fascinating figure of the year, it's somewhat surprising that his opponent John McCain did not make the list.

The complete list includes:

Barack Obama
Tom Cruise
Sarah Palin
Frank Langella
Thomas Beatie
Rush Limbaugh
Tina Fey
Miley Cyrus
Michael Phelps
Will Smith

Do you find the people on this list fascinating? Anyone you'd like to sub in?

What's Height Got to Do With It?

DearSugar — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 11:00:00 -0700

I'm not sure if it's because Tom Cruise has a short complex or if the media is just looking for another reason to poke fun of him, and Katie Holmes wearing high heels has been a bone of contention for as long as they've been a couple. But last night at the Tropic Thunder premiere, Katie stood tall and proud on the arm of her hubby and made it seem as though height was actually not an issue at all. Since I've never dated anyone shorter than me, I can't say how I'd feel about it, but what about you? Do you have a height requirement when it comes to dating or are you of the belief that love conquers all, even a man that's shorter than you?

Kathy Griffin Takes on Tom Cruise

GiggleSugar — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 14:00:00 -0700

Kathy Griffin appeared on Larry King Live last Friday to promote the return of her Emmy-winning reality show, My Life on the D-List. Given that Kathy has something nasty to say about everyone - minus Anderson Cooper - Larry knew exactly what he was doing when he dragged Tom Cruise into the discussion. He was stepping into a minefield of accusations and slander and . . . invisible alien antennae? Good times!

Behold: The Tom Cruise Fart Video

GiggleSugar — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 01:00:00 -0700

Many people think Tom Cruise is full of hot air. After they watch this video, they'll realize that's not a figure of speech! From jumping on couches, to claiming to be the only person who could save someone in a car wreck, to maniacally laughing for no discernible reason, he's definitely a puzzle inside a riddle wrapped in an enigma. Well if anyone caught him on David Letterman a while back, they'll wonder what the eff was so funny. Some "fartist" (fart + artist) on YouTube has an answer. And if you know what's good for you, watch until the very end, when Oprah gets in on the fun. (FYI, I hate fart humor, usually, but when the normally lady-like Bella sent this my way, I had to share it. In short - blame her.)

Another Day, Another Tom Cruise Spoof

GiggleSugar — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 04:00:00 -0700

People won't quit with the Tom Cruise impersonations. A couple months back, a vid was released of Tommy boy having an on-camera discussion with heck-knows-who (the mirror?) about Scientology, being "in" or "out," and poof-spik-shoo! The dude below is a dead ringer for Tom and he's done his homework. That part about eating planets is not a joke; it's the only true way to happiness and - poof! - peace on earth. . .

Does Freedom of Religion Exclude Scientology?

LibertySugar — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 15:03:05 -0700

Recently, Munich, Germany shut down a Kindergarten because the "well-being of the children in the establishment was under threat because the education process was based on the principles of Scientology." This event highlights the fact that in parts of Europe, freedom of religion does not extend to Scientology, which is not recognized as a religion - some countries even call it a "sect."

The choice of famous Scientologist Tom Cruise to play a well-known Nazi resistance leader, upset many Germans, who compared his infamous Scientology video to Nazi propaganda. Last month, a German court ruled that the government may continue spying on Scientology because the group "seeks to establish a social order that runs counter to the constitution." To get a handle on the sect designation, read more.

In Germany, as in France and other countries, the Church of Scientology has been accused of abusing civil liberties, misleading the public, and fraud. Scientology is considered a "sect" because it allegedly exploits its members financially.

Is it possible to differentiate between a religion and a sect? The question illuminates the difficulty in allowing behavior in the name of religious freedom. When people can justify any activity by claiming religious motivations, societal attempts to regulate behavior are perpetually undermined. Yet dominant religions, like Christianity, may be arbitrarily favored. How do we draw the line between religious persecution and legitimate government goals?

Jerry O'Connell Parodies Tom Cruise: The Outtakes

GiggleSugar — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 04:00:00 -0800

We've seen countless impersonators crawl out of the woodwork to make light of Cruise's Scientology babble sesh, but Jerry O'Connell has been the best thus far. He had the crazy laugh, the out-of-this-world sound effects, and the mumbo-jumbo mumble down pat. Of course, this took some practice and a lot of outtakes. Wanna see what fell to the cutting room floor? Trust me, you do.

LOL Tom Cruise

Tom Cruise's creepy-ass Scientology video has finally been made comprehensible. By cats, naturally! I can has ~~captions~~ cat-tions? Yes, you can!

Oh Boy! Another Tom Cruise Parody

GiggleSugar — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 12:00:00 -0800

The video of Tom Cruise rambling about Scientology was the talk of the Internet last week and the parodies keep rolling in. Jerry O'Connell wanted in on the fun, so he donned his creepiest black turtleneck and sat down for an intimate chat about everything from the writers' strike to KFC to convenient-store bathrooms. He added some mumbling, obnoxious laughing, and sound effects to give this the true Tom touch. Yes - I said sound effects.

Tom Cruise Is a Cock-Block

GiggleSugar — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 09:00:00 -0800

It's 4 a.m. Your party's over, but Tom Cruise won't leave. In fact, he's talkin' to your girl. What do you do? I got no answers for you, but I can say that the guy in this vid impersonating Tom is spot on. From the what-I'm-saying-now-is-really-serious voice, to the sudden laugh, to the Ray Bans and black T-shirt. Tom Cruise is in the house - and he won't leave.
