Yes, Tom Cruise has built a hospital room for her in their home. If one is going to go through all of that expense, why not just give birth in a regular hospital room? Tom can afford the cost, and the home birth will supposedly keep the noise factor down, but could he just rent a wing of a hospital for the same cost. Unless he's planning on turning the room into a rehab center for heroin addicts after the baby is born?
Tom Cruise has reportedly spent $255,000 (GBP150,000) on an in-home hospital in preparation for the birth of his first child with fiancee Katie Holmes. The star star believed it was a suitable compromise since the couple have been unable to agree on a home or hospital birth. The room at his Beverly Hills, California, mansion is fully kitted out with a fetal monitor, ultrasound machine, intravenous pump, delivery kit and infant warmer system. A source tells British newspaper The Sun, "Tom thinks his delivery home is the best way of providing a quiet environment." Cruise has also hired three Scientology medics, a midwife, a nurse and an obstetrics expert to assist Holmes.Cruise Installs In-Home Hospital For Holmes [contactmusic]

Woohoo!! First!
mallomar says:
How many Scientologists does it take to remove a beachball from under Katie's shirt?
"three Scientology medics,a midwife, a nurse, and an obstetrics expert"
J/k I actually think she's really pregnant. What exactly is a "Scientology medic" though anyway?
megs says:
i don't know, sounds like my husband's version of a compromise--it's still a home birth b/c it's not actually IN a hospital! i think what katie wanted tom was REAL doctors not some freaky scientologist delivering her baby
gOssiP says:
well i must admit her stomach does look "normal" for once (except for that freakily huge belly button)--but that's what makes it so un-normal...her stomach has been much LARGER in the past...tom cruise must have heard that people don't believe her "pillow" is real LOL
so did anyone watch the interview diane sawyer did with tom cruise...when she asked about how katie's family felt about him, he was LYING right through his teeth :-X
hydepark says:
So sad using a baby for PR for his movie.
sweetfist_gal says:
uhm, it would make you think that since she is not pregnant then giving "birth" at a hospital would be hard to pull off. so why not build a "hospital" at his house so it can be done there. see I figured this would happen once they started talking about the silent birth bit. I figured it was part of the cover up. hmph
d.c. says:
well, strange tom and idiotic katie have done more to spread the word that this Scientology cult is dangerous, nutty and quite grotesque than anyone else involved in it has.. I give them that Kudo and wish them well on the safe delivery of Hoops Cruise.. Rah rah rah for them.
Cheesy says:
Perhaps I'm the dissenting vote, but anyone else think that the bump looks quite higher and less over-ripe then it did in late March, when she was walking in front of her home at night?
And what's with that belly button?
Jamie says:
I used to feel sorry for her, but now I just wonder about her intelligence. The man has stated publicly that she is the third most important thing in his life right now. First the baby, then the movie, then Katie. I guess she's just happy to be in the top three.
Your Mom says:
Has Katie always had bad teeth?
Your Mom says:
And oh yeah...
I love how he takes it upon himself to change her name from "Katie" to "Kate".
a guy says:
Poor Katie. More coverage at http://www.hollywoodgrind.com
missy says:
it sounds like a cover up to me. it's so obvious that she has an alien in there. everyone knows tom is sterile, so i assume the father is not human. they'll buy a baby from a desperate heroin addict and perform a switch in their little hospital.
grace says:
Hasn't she been pregnant for like, a year and a half now?!
Twisted Humor says:
If you stare long enough at Katie's belly, you can see that it is really one of Pamela Anderson's gigantic boobs.
john says:
There's TomKat bobbleheads on ebay now...
alexis says:
you know, weve also never seen a slip of skin under any of her shirts. most pregnant women show a little bit of skin sometimes, just bending over or reaching for something, but not her. more evidence that it is so obviously a pillow.
sasha says:
Where the hell are Kate's parents in all this and why won't they rescue her daughter much less tell the media the whole truth? Were they paid off too?
yogagirl says:
Tom Cruise (in all of his research) obviously missed the point of giving birth in a hospital. First of all, NO home birthing center is set up for a crash cesearean section. C Sections are done in STERILE operating rooms and an anesthesiologist must be present to monitor KH and give the meds. Secondly, if the child has an distress after birth, I don't care how many people TC has on call for him, the time it will take to get the baby to an NICU, especially in the case of respiratory distress or depression is WAY too long. In many cases, it can be the single determining factor between high functioning individuals and a vegetables. And in the case of this child, given who his two idiotic parents are, he/she needs all the chances of maximizing his/her intelligence possible! So TC, go back to the books because clearly your research was inadequate.
z says:
yogagirl, just shut up and read some studies and learn statistics before talking about the dangers of home birth.
God damned moronic hysteric...
