Tom CruiseTom CruiseWhatever next?

Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise are expecting their baby any minute now and it's causing all sorts of speculation.

First, there was the Scientology-inspired silent birth... then there were clues that it might be a girl...

And now, something that some might find rather unpalatable has presented itself.

Apparently, the loved-up star is planning to eat Katie's placenta when baby Cruise is born.

He told GQ magazine: "I'm gonna eat the placenta. I thought that would be good. Very nutritious. I'm gonna eat the cord and the placenta right there."

But, it seems Tom may have bitten off more than he can chew with his bold declaration.

Well, some people do claim that eating afterbirth can help to prevent post-natal depression.

Although, not if dad eats it rather than mum.
