Cruise excited to be would be daddy

NEW YORK — Paging Dr. Cruise. Dr. Tom Cruise — you’re wanted in obstetrics. Yes, it seems the future baby daddy, whose medical background rivals that of Dr. Howard, Dr. Fine and Dr. Howard from “The Three Stooges,” is closely monitoring his spawn’s development. Really, really closely monitoring.
“I bought a sonogram machine,” Cruise reveals to Barbara Walters on her “The 10 Most Fascinating People of 2005” special (via People magazine). “I am gonna donate it to a hospital when we are done.” Queries a confused Walters, “Wait, you are going to do your own sonogram?” “Yes,” laughs Tom (who, it should be noted, did play an M.D. in “Eyes Wide Shut”). Unfortunately, Babs missed the obvious (glib) follow-up question, namely, “What on Earth compelled you to spend $15,000 to $200,000 on your own personal sonogram machine when there are actual doctor’s offices out there?” Cruise’s rep had no comment on the device buy, according to People.
Tom says he and Katie, who is said to be about five or six months along, still don’t know what they’re having.—Agencies
