Call it Dawson's Curse: wherever they are, ex-cast members of Dawson's Creek are haunted by the Question. No setting is too inappropriate: Joshua Jackson was asked in a public men's room. Now Michelle Williams, under the auspices of a Newsweek interview about her performance in Brokeback Mountain, once again falls victim to its pernicious prying:

Newsweek: Do you still talk to your pals from "Dawson's Creek"?


Williams: Gosh. Your editor wanted you to ask this, didn't he?

Newsweek: You know where this question is headed.

Williams: I have an idea.

Newsweek: So how is Katie Holmes?

Williams: This question is starting to make me feel cheap. I'm turning into a party trick. Everywhere I go I lie down to get a massage and they're like, "I have to ask you." It's certainly not their business.

No, it most certainly is not their business. And we imagine it won't be long before the Scientology wellness crusade adds the snoopy, suspicious world of massage therapists to its long list of deleterious "health professional" hoaxters plaguing humanity. Instead, they recommend their "tissue clearance" method, a rigorous regimen of vitamins and invasive questionnaires that relieves all muscle tension without the well-documented, cancer-causing side effects of dangerous "street massage."
