No congratulatory gift for Katie from Chris Klein

as much as I feel very *weird* in saying this, maybe it is sort of good that Katie is with Tom… I’m not saying Tom is any better because he’s slightly odd in my books but from the way I’ve heard Chris talk when it comes to women he sounds very self-centered and arrogant.

I see nothing wrong with the comments that Chris has made about Katie since they split up. I think he has only had kind things to say. We don’t know why they broke up, maybe they just wanted different things but he says he has fond memories of their time together. If he doesn’t wish to acknowledge the birth of Tom and Katie’s child that is his decision and not everyone would be comfortable giving or accepting a gift to or from an ex.

The whole ‘weird’ part of Tom and Katie’s relationship aside, I think Chris’ reaction is normal – he and Katie were together a long time and they were engaged. At some point he thought they would be the ones having a baby together. Even if he’s accepted/glad their relationship ran its course, it must still be a jolt to the system.

I see nothing wrong with this specifical Chris Klein’s comment. But i see a lot wrong in the way he speaks about women in his interviews (the highlight was the Elle article). I think that right now he is on a mission to adfirm his masculinity and young stud status and that’s the way he has chosen. Katie has very little to do with it in my opinion. Also, there were a lot of rumors about Katie and Chris way before their official break up, starting from september 2004. And they weren’t togheter for 7 years, but 5. I followed Katie’s career from the beginning. I’m not pleased with the whole Tom Cruise situation for many reason, but i wish her and her baby only good things. In my opinion she doesn’t deserve the amount of insults she has received, even here, a place who celebrates new lifes.

I think Katie’s virginity comment gets misconstrued. People forget that she made that comment to CosmoGirl when she was 16 years old – I’m sure things changed when she started seriously dating.

I agree that Chris came off as an ass in the Elle interview, but I also agree with posters who say that he’s choosing his words carefully. About the gift, I think it’s kind of odd that they even asked him – not many people give or receive gifts from their exes once they break up. I could see if they had stayed friendly, but it doesn’t sound like they are at all.

What’s wrong with his comments (sans the poor grammar)? Do people send congratulatory cards to all of their exes who have gone and had kids/gotten married?

I am with those of you who posed the question as to why anyone would ask if Chris (or anyone else) was going to send a gift to an ex. But, I guess there are always those in the media who want to “stir the pot” so there will be more gossip to write about. It really was a ludicrous question to ask in the first place.

As far as the whole Katie/Tom relationship goes, it does appear less than conventional to most of us, but we don’t know the whole story or what goes on in their lives or why they make certain choices. The relationship and the addition of a baby in the manner they’ve chosen is a little unnerving, especially in view of Tom’s beliefs, but to each his own. I hope when all is said and done, the baby is healthy and has a well-adjusted life.
