Tom Cruise announces he has proposed to Katie Holmes

My guess is that Cruise is normally hypomanic -- that desirable state where you have tremendous energy while still maintaining self-control (Teddy Roosevelt is the classic hypomanic). But, now Cruise appears to have slipped from hypomanic into a manic phase in which, after years of playing the publicity game like a master, he can't resist self-destructively responding to adverse public reactions by constantly upping the ante.

Hopefully, while he's in this phase, he won't do something truly destructive, like giving all his money to the Scientologists.
