From the Daily Mail’s story on Andrew Morton’s sploidy Tom Cruise bio:

Cruise’s lawyer and close confidante Bert Fields gave a rare interview to The Mail on Sunday to pour scorn on Morton’s book, titled Tom Cruise: An Unauthorised Biography.

He criticised a passage in which Morton claims some “fanatical” Scientologists believed Suri Cruise was actually the result of a sperm donation by Scientology’s dead founder, L. Ron Hubbard.

Morton writes that Ms Holmes may feel she was in “the horror movie Rosemary’s Baby, in which an unsuspecting young woman is impregnated with the Devil’s child”.

Let’s assume, just for the sake of argument, that this actually happened: Tom Cruise actually had Katie Holmes impregnated, without her knowledge or consent, with L. Ron Hubbard’s sperm. Is Morton a bit fuzzy on the plot of Rosemary’s Baby, or did L. Ron actually come back from the dead and handle the job himself? Or both? I can’t find the actual conception scene from the film online, but maybe the original trailer will help us puzzle it out.
