I totally agree. Who cares? So, why would Tom be doing everything in his power to deny it? I also think that it is no big deal, especially in this day and age. My husband, however, says that it's important for him to hide it because he plays a lot of macho roles. He feels that those parts may not be offered to him and/or the audiences won't be there to watch those movies if he admits that he is gay. I personally think that people would accept it if he admitted it and moved on. Of course, that would blow his marriage sham. Plus, now he has three children to consider.
I think that people make a big deal out of something that others try to hide. When you don't hide it, the wind seems to be taken out of the gossip sails.
As for Katie wearing closed-toed heels, she has horrible hammer toes probably from wearing those type of shoes for years. I suspect that's why she's "hiding" her feet. She knew that photogs were going to be there to take photos. It does look like yet another of their staged photo ops. In any case, I still think that she is attractive. I hope that she doesn't get any thinner.
I do not think that Victoria Beckham thin is attractive at all. Of course, I could stand to be on the VB diet for about a month, myself. While I am confessing, my feet could use some tender loving care, too.
