Sometimes a retread is worth it

Newsflash: Holmes could cash in on wedding to Cruise.

Does this mean that the Scoop knows more than all the other speculating Internet sources -- or less? Because Defamer had this area covered circa the Treacly Proposal Era.

The details fluctuate as to how much she's getting (answer: not nearly enough, of course), and I don't find this account any more credible than others, but what I do find interesting is this:

If the marriage lasts longer than eleven years, the contract becomes void and California's community property law kicks in — giving Holmes half of Cruise's rather sizeable fortune.

What's spooky is what Scoop doesn't mention, in light of this new fact, but which a glance at IMDB can tell you: That surprise divorce between Nicole Kidman and the TomBot? Happened at just under 11 years.

There's something to make you sleep with the light on.

I have two theories:

1) Tom's love only lasts ten years or the microship implanted in his brain that allows him to fixate on one particular female only lasts ten years.

2) The wife-bot only lasts ten years. After that, the wife-bot is retired and the real woman is allowed to return to society. It's no coincidence that Nicole Kidman (who starred in the remake of The Stepford Wives) had a much better movie career AFTER she and Cruise divorced. The wife-bot theory also explains Katie's now glassy demeanor.

Pari: Thank you for capturing the visceral reaction so well; "compulsive body shiver," awesome.

MeiMei: OMG, theory #2 explains EVERYTHING.
