Cruise Buys Sonogram Machine for Katie

NEW YORK - Tom Cruise has made an unusual purchase for his fiancee Katie Holmes — one that will let them see the development of their baby. "I bought a sonogram machine," Cruise says on ABC's "Barbara Walters Presents: The 10 Most Fascinating People of 2005," to air Nov. 29 (10 p.m. EST).

Excerpts of the interview are published in the latest issue of People magazine, on newsstands Friday.

The 43-year-old actor said the couple will do their own sonograms, which show fetus development with ultrasound waves. Cruise said he will donate the machine to a hospital after the baby is born. Sonogram machines range in cost from $25,000 to $200,000.

Holmes' pregnancy was announced in early October. The couple, who have been dating since April, became engaged in June.

"We are gonna get married next summer or early fall," Cruise told Walters. "We don't have a date set yet."

Cruise said he didn't know if the baby is a boy or a girl. He has two children, Connor, 10, and Isabella, 12, from his marriage to Nicole Kidman. It will be the first child for 26-year-old Holmes.

Perhaps the aliens living deep inside Tom Cruise will tell him how to use that very expensive, very complicated piece of equipment.

Excluding TC, I hope, b/c judging from how much everyone here has been talking about him, he certainly is fascinating.

And I don't see what the big deal with the sonogram machine is. If I had 50 million cazillion bajillion dollars I'd buy everything that struck my fancy, too.

Methinks Tom is OCD about this kid. Wouldn't surprise me if they never stepped foot in a hospital again......deliver the babe at home.....in silence....so no one but him can touch it.

OR

....he's just playing up the media....Katie's not really prego...just a manufactured hump to make her look that way....then secretly adopt when the time is right.

I think it's the second one... or maybe there was a turkey baster or some other artificial method used. I can't believe he had his penis in her vagina.

I think the first one. But lots of people do stuff like that with their birth.

Most of them don't believe outer space beings are coming, but whatev...
