SUNDAY ROSE, BORN ON A MONDAY


No, don't adjust your monitor colour. They're both wearing shades of dishwater beige on their bodies, hair, and faces, but somehow they still clash. Could it be that touch of rose on Keith Urban's face? Is that where Nicole got the second part of her baby's name? Or is his skin so shiny he's reflecting the wall behind them?

The Huffington Post surmises Nicole Kidman chose her baby girl's name as a criticism of Scientology, which she adopted when married to Tom Cruise, then kicked out of the house like a devil child when Cruise started auditioning for a more malleable Stepford Wife. Sunday Rose was named for Sundays (not sundaes), important to Nicole's (original) Catholic faith. You know. Day of rest, etc. The word "rest" was banished from Chez Cruise, 'cause Tommy's always go-go-go! Saving lives, directing traffic, buzzin' with energy, tap-tap-tappin' his feet even when he's on the seat! Senator Craig should have used the "Cruise" defense, then sued the airport for having spaces under their wall stalls where his frenetic soft-shoe could be misconstrued.

Back to that blanched and de-freckled goddess, Nicole. Did she really name her baby as a way to stick it to her former faux-hubbie? If so-- how does the new hubbie feel? He's a full hat and lifts taller than Tommy, but still, his baby girl's name will forever suggest Tommy's Scientology mind-control is a potent obstacle to overcome. Nicole should just get over it. Trade her E-meter for a velvet pillow and move on.
