Here is what happens when Maverick lobotomizes you:

Two weeks ago, the world found out that Tom-Kat will be starting a family with their very own Tom-Kitten. “Today” West Coast contributor Maria Menounos got an exclusive first chat with Holmes since announcing the big baby news.

Katie Holmes: We're so excited.

Maria Menounos: Tell me like what it’s like: You're pregnant [and] you are marrying the man you've always dreamed of.

Holmes: I know.

Menounos: It's such a story book.

Holmes: It's amazing. I'm so happy, it's a dream come true. I feel great. I'm beaming and … I'm so excited.

Menounos: Are you guys going to start putting together the baby room and stuff?

Holmes: Yes. We're getting that together and I'm learning how to knit.

Menounos: Have you guys started putting wedding plans together yet?

Holmes: We are. We don't have a date just yet, but there is so much excitement going on. It's just amazing.

Menounos: It's your first wedding. I can imagine it's going to be the biggest wedding ever.

Holmes: It's exciting. We don't know yet but we are thrilled.

Menounos: What's Tom saying?

Holmes: He's thrilled.

Menounos: Is he filming right now?

Holmes: He's filming Mission Impossible 3.

Menounos: Do you get to visit him often?

Holmes: Yeah. I'm on my way right now.

Everything is so amazing and thrilling!

OK, so maybe Katie Holmes has a somewhat plausible excuse: she's been kidnapped and brainwashed by someone who enjoyed Battlefield Earth.

However, what is the justification for Maria Menounos' idiocy? "I can imagine it's going to be the biggest wedding ever." "Are you guys going to start putting together the baby room and stuff?" Someone pays her for this?!?
