Even if you didn't believe the rumor that in 2006 Tom Cruise, a committed Scientologist, forced Katie Holmes to keep silent while she gave birth to their daughter, the very idea probably gave you pause. Cruise later denied Holmes would be silent during labor in a Primetime interview with Diane Sawyer.

Taken from this morning's Note, by ABC News' Mike Falcone:

ABC's Jake Tapper interviewed New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie in Trenton, N.J. yesterday. Admitting they are "stylistically" opposite, Christie told ABC News in an interview at the state capitol that will air Tuesday on "Nightline" that although "he's much more reserved," the presumptive GOP presidential nominee should open up. "I think he does," Christie said, referring to Romney adopting less of a reserved style.

Christie also candidly talked about about his weight problem:

"I've been living with it for a long time, and I'm going to try to get better," Christie said. "And if I can get better, that'll be great for me and for my family and for the public who likes me … it's something that's not easy. If it were easy, I'd already have it fixed."

Watch the interview tonight on "Nightline," 11:35 p.m. ET. (h/t ABC's Shushannah Walshe)
