 The Cruise-Holmes affair: True love or publicity stunt?
The coupling of stars to create ballyhoo for a movie, burnish an actor's image, create a name or distract attention from other relationships may not be as common as when the movie studios tightly controlled stars' careers through the 1950s, some publicists and film industry experts assert.
After appearing together in public for the first time late last month, cuddling and smooching at a film awards ceremony in Italy, the instant couple - they had met only weeks earlier - made the covers of the Big Three: Us Weekly, Star and People.

 All Who Doubt That America Truly Is The Land Of Opportunity, Take Heart!
Bush Administration flacks told them, and they obediently broadcast, and cablecast, that this was not a campaign publicity stunt (the explanation was offered preemptively, just in case some liberal whiner might suggest such a thing).
The president, who would normally land on a military carrier deck by helicopter, had to forego the whirlybird, and instead do the daring jet-jockey thing because the ship was too far out at sea, and he was so eager to address the returning troops that he couldn’t wait for it to get closer.
When Bush made his vaunted landing, the Lincoln was only 36 miles from shore, and in fact had to be turned to a non-standard recovery heading so that the nearby San Diego skyline was not visible to the loftily perched press cameras during the (affirmative) action-hero’s big carrier entrance.
