Maybe, Baby Number Two

Another day, another Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes (er, sorry Katherine) rumor.

Sources claim Stepford Katie is on a Scientology "detox diet" to prepare to get pregnant with the couple's second child. The Clear Body, Clear Mind plan utilizes a regime of exercise, sauna sweat-out, vitamins and minerals to cleanse bodies of toxins,' a snitch is quoted as telling the Mail on Sunday.

The effects of the diet are cited as the reason behind her and Cruise's absence at the Academy Awards. With all of Hollywood posed for the great Aniston-Brangelina encounter that wasn't, did anyone even notice? Or care?

Katie has almost rid her body of toxins but sometimes it makes her lethargic. Tom's encouraging her to stick to the diet because they are hoping to conceive baby number two, says a source. Honestly, this sounds like something Gwyneth Paltrow would suggest on her utterly pretentious website, GOOP.

Or the diet detox could just be a handy excuse as Cruise is reportedly bitter about not getting an Oscar nod for Tropic Thunder (over Robert Downey Jr as a white man playing an Australian playing a black man?! As if) or Valkyrie, because he miraculously found time to attend the NASCAR 500 racing event with his son Conner instead.

The couple are already parents to 2-year-old Suri. Cruise also has two adopted children with ex-wife Nicole Kidman, who is rumored to be pregnant with her second child with husband Keith Urban.

We're tempted to flip the BS switch, but given Cruise's crazy couch-jumping antics, this tempting tidbit is just wacky enough to be true.
