There are some jobs that are just too good to be true. Those lucky people who find circa 1964 Rolling Stones t-shirts at thrift stores and sell them on eBay for $800. Mariah Carey’s straw holder. But Katie Holmes may have the sweetest gig of all: have a kid, get $75 mil. Seems like a decent trade-off. OK! says:
Although rumors that the couple — who celebrated their three-year anniversary on Nov. 18 — have been separated because of marital tensions and not just work, OK! can exclusively report that the Cruises have reached a deal on expanding their family: Katie plans to get pregnant sometime in the next year.
“She no longer feels like she’s just Mrs. Cruise. She’s her own person again,” a pal tells OK! of the couple’s decision. “She and Tom have their disagreements, but deep down they love each other very much. That’s what is important.”
$75 million is a lot of damn money. We were pretty sure we’d pass a rugrat through just about any part of our body for that scratch, until we started thinking about the consequences. Being Tom Cruise’s concubine is kind of like selling your soul to the devil, only without all the fun. When you make a pact with the devil, you get a lifetime of living it up, winning the World Series, being a rock god, whatever it is you want. When you make a pact with Tom Cruise all you get is a limitless Barney’s charge card and daily auditing sessions.
