It's because he will convince her to become a Scientologist, her IQ will shrink and she'll stop making movies. (There was a rumor in Hollywood that Penelope Cruz's IQ was so low, she thought Scientology was the study of signs.) OK, so that joke works better if you say "Scientology" with a Penelope Cruz accent but whatever, you get it, I hope. <BR/><BR/>I had great hopes for Joey. Besides my own fawning Katie crush, I also thought she was making some decent movie choices. Stuff like "Pieces of April" "Wonder Boys" and "The Gift" were a nice way to deflect the Joey stigma. Then came fermented crud like "Abandon" "First Daughter" and a stand around-watching-Colin-Farrll-on-the-phone part in "Phone Booth". At least "Batman" is high profile enough to giver her some recognition, but I'm still concerned for her. Because all of the women that go out with Tom Cruise seem to not want to discuss it when it's over. As far as actors and 'tresses that grow up, it is a little odd. I remember watching "Honey" (more enjoyable than "Showgirls" on camp level) and seeing the kid who was the kid in "Big" now all grown up and trying to molest poor Honey. Because she just couldn't figure it out- that all he wanted was to make moves, not use her dance moves. It was a little creepy to see that, yes. So I know what you mean about the grown-up factor. All it really does is make you/us feel older which is why it's so upsetting. I mean, have you seen Punky Brewster lately? She's a full grown woman posing in lots of magazines and getting important roles on shows like "Sabrina" (well, she was). People grow up. So do we. We just don't like it very much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11685269.post-1118252124790071942005-06-08T10:35:00.000-07:002005-06-08T10:35:00.000-07:00GO TOM!Hey come on now.

I agree...it is hard to see your favorite child actors all grown up. The image we are used to is stained by their actions as a grown up. Not everyone can keep on being a child actor like Gary Coleman!<BR/><BR/>-DeanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
