What should Katie do next? How should women handle husbands' attempts to “rule the roost”?

News that Tom Cruise “monitors” his wife’s diet startled the world. Tom is supposedly instructing Katie Holmes’s chef about what his wife can and cannot eat. This is in addition to the � spiritual guidance” the star of Top Gun is alleged to “offer” his wife. There’s been various reactions to the news – not all what you might expect. In one notable case a woman supports Tom’s stance and wished that her husband would take the same measures with her.

It was left (as it often is) to Wilma Proops – Agony Aunt to the Stars – to advise Katie Holmes on what she should do next:

Wilma Proops Advises Katie Holmes

Woken from a drunken stupor and asked to comment from her sun bed beside her Lanzarote pool, the Agony Aunt spouted platitudes for the attention of Katy Holmes

“Get to a restaurant an have yourself a feast. The cheese-board is your friend. Get fat, have fun and be free. Never let anyone tell you what to do. Stand up for yourself, come to your own conclusions and you’ll be a good role model for your kids. You want to be like me…”

Advise on Overcoming the Jack Sprat Syndrome

Women are sometimes attracted to powerful men who are shorter than themselves. These relationships often work but sometimes they can end when the shorter man is uncomfortable with his shortness. This is termed the “Jack Sprat Syndrome” named after the children’s Nursery Rhyme – Jack Sprat ate no fat; his wife would eat no lean…

Such men will endeavour to stay fatter than their wives in an effort not to remind people of this popular image. In most case they do this by increasing their portions ten-fold but sometimes they seek to restrict their partner’s calorific intake.
