Wow....guess I've missed something all these years! Doesn't matter to me as he's a very good actor and appears to care deeply for Katie Holmes and their daughter together.

Not a good choice because Hef doesn't have gay mannerisms!

Cruise can't act and he is the worst choice for a man who seduced so many women. Why does he persist in trying to act like a macho man when he is quite effiminate?

Leave Tom alone! I could see Tom in a bathrobe. But would his high heels be a problem?

What the hell is Rita Cosby doing with Hef?? She's supposed to be a feminist and Hefner is a male chauvinist. Cosby will do anthing for attention. You disappoint women everywhere.
