This summer, in addition to the numerous heat waves that hit New York, a celebrity craze has ensued like none other: TomKat, Brangelina, and Judanny. To the uninitiated, TomKat refers to the creepy and bubbly relationship between Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, Brangelina to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, and Judanny to Jude Law and his nanny.
