We all grieve in different ways. Some of us pray, some of us blog, and many of us tweet. And then some of us pray, then collect a series of TomKat divorce-related tweets, then blog about those tweets inside.
Since we got the news yesterday, Tom Cruise‘s rep has issued the following statement to People: “Kate has filed for divorce and Tom is deeply saddened and is concentrating on his three children.” The rep added, “Please allow them their privacy to work this out.”
Something tells me people are probably gonna disregard that last part. In fact, Twitter tells me that people are gonna disregard that fact.
Here’s how cray it got on Twitterverse after the TomKat divorce was announced:
Tom & Katie are divorcing. This is the most talked-about separation in Hollywood since John Travolta’s ass during a massage.

Did I hear this right? Tom cruise is pregnant, Adele is going to jail and Lauryn Hill is getting a divorce?

Do you think Tom Cruise tried the “You complete me” line on Katie Holmes before or after she filed for divorce?

Let’s all leave Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes alone – you know, like we do when one of their movies comes out.

If Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes can’t make it work, what chance do the rest of us have? A pretty excellent one.
— Andy Borowitz (@BorowitzReport) June 29, 2012
Hey Katie Holmes! Why don’t you divorce WIND or the SUN next? Tom Cruise is an ELEMENT. You are so screwed, young lady.

TOM CRUISE I WILL MARRY YOU!!!

To which someone replied, “Pretty Sure Travolta beat you to it.”
Sorry to hear that Tom Cruise’s marriage has jumped the couch.

This is such a sad pre-arranged, mutually agreed upon, contractually obligated day for Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.

CNN: Katie Holmes hostage situation ends.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes may be divorcing, but think of the real victims: those of us struggling to come up with a timely joke about it.

And yes, I’m affected by the Tom Cruise/ Katie Holmes divorce. Come on Will and Jada, show em how it’s done!
— Cesca Litton (@CheckLit) June 30, 2012
My favorite one was that last bit about Will and Jada, lmao. Oh, and Joan Rivers‘s, duh! Did someone else (maybe you?) tweet something hella cray that I missed? Comment me your fave TomKat tweet and I’ll throw it in the post.
Hahaha! I loved all these. Thanks for the post Shannon, totally funny :)
Cathy, my pleasure! Glad you enjoyed :)
I can’t pick my favourite, they’re all to fuuny!
I think the hostage situation one is my fave!
Oh, how I laughed! I wonder if there were any sincere, supportive tweets, or if everyone just let ‘er rip?!
oh btw cesca litton is a filipina tv personality but thanks for including her.
I like Weird Al’s- I was waiting for a couch reference :p
the fact that these two are getting divorced isn’t a surprise when you consider he’s nearly 20 years older than her and has been divorced twice before. if Kurt Southerlund left his wife Claire Newman that would be a surprise they seem to adore each other as much as her parents did. if Katie keeps her wedding ring on it’ll look tacky but when Claire’s mother does it’s not tacky at all 5 years is nothing compaired to more than 50 which is how long Claire’s parents were married when her dad Paul passed away September 26th 2008
