Dissing Nicole at the MTV movie awards? The mother of his children? How childish...

Oh yeah, and he does for Scientology what Mel Gibson does for Christianity :laugh:.

I missed where he dissed Nicole - what did he say? :shrug:

In any event, he is getting weirder & weirder with each passing day. I'm sick of hearing about him, his movies, "TomKat", her movies, blah blah blah. I may have to skip the movie awards show so I don't barf. :rolleyes:

[GypsySorcerer]

He's annoying. I am so tired of seeing him and Katie Holmes every time I turn on the TV or pick up a magazine. Nicole is better off without him. :D

[cliffdweller]

I missed where he dissed Nicole - what did he say? :shrug:


He didn't say anything. He requested to be moved away from where she was sitting. Apparently they were sitting nine seats away from each other or something. Uh, nine seats away is not sitting right next to someone. Basically the story made it seem like Tom and Katie were avoiding Nicole at every turn at the awards ceremony. But it also seems as if they were avoiding everyone and acting totally cultish. I'm sorry, those two are just WEIRD!!

[trackaghost]

Personally I've always found him annoying. I think he's just showing his true colours now.
Some people are saying it's because he fired his publicist and replaced him with his own sister.

Anyway here's a good article about how annoying he's become

[wondergirl9847]

Cannot stand the man...and I liked Katie, but now, this whole deal is just...UGH. Die, relationship, DIE!! :mad:

The fact he's going on and on, throwing this sham in everyone's face and Nicole's especially...is disgusting...and childish. Grow up, Tom.

Challenged by Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush with a puffball question about how familiar he could possibly be with his new passion’s body of work, he burbled, “I’ve seen Dawson Creek!”

So have I!!! Can I date Pacey!?! :rolleyes:

[cliffdweller]

"But not me. God, and L. Ron Hubbard, knows, Tom doesn’t need my help, yet I also have an irrepressible urge: to praise him. Can I just say that I find something both loonily sweet and sneakily admirable about the way Cruise is now comporting himself? It’s a great performance, with the electricity that’s been lacking from so many celebrity scandals of the past few years. It’s out of control, and that’s not a bad thing. Others may find Cruise creepy, but I’m enjoying his turn as the Aggressively Romantic Dork, a role that exerts its own wobbly charm."

Uh...excuse me? This reporter BETTER be kidding around.

I'm telling ya, there is NO relationship between Katie and Tom!
If that isn't a huge publicity stunt then I don't know what is.

Well yeah :laugh: She's likes the train wreck he's become but it does sum up how strangely he's been acting lately. It's worth a read.

[wondergirl9847]

Yeah, no relationship. I don't understand why celebs do this sort of thing. I know they are promoting movies, but sheebus...I would have seen Batman Begins anyways, because Christian Bale is hot as h*ll!! LOL

[ontheEdgeof17]

I hope Tom's movie is a flop. :wavey:

[Neal]

I saw Batman Begins last night, and you're right Mr. Bale is gorgeous! The movie was fantastic, by the way. The only disappointment was Katie, who was terribly miscast, and who was never a good actress in the first place... :shrug:

[wondergirl9847]

Sigh...Gah, I adore the Bale. Katie didn't look like a great choice in the previews, so I was disappointed in that, but who gives a sh*t...it's CHRISTIAN BALE AS BATMAN!!!!!!!!!

Glad to hear it was a good movie!

[GardenStateGirlie]

What a douche...

TomKat is the most annoying "couple" by far that has ever graced the pages of a magazine. It's incredibly phony and she is being sucked into the other side...I'd be willing to place bets on that. Creepy ass scientologist :distress: If this relationship isn't fake, she's an incredibly foolish girl.

[GypsySorcerer]

I hope Tom's movie is a flop. :wavey:

Me too. :D

[dudden22]

What a Knob! :nod:

Personally I've always found him annoying.
Something else we agree on! :)

Has anyone else noticed his teeth?! He like has one right in the middle... weird.. heh

[strandinthewind]

I just do not get all the Cruise hate. I like him and his films. He is not that great of an actor, but his flims are fun fluff and I cannot wait to see War of the Worlds, which I think will be cool fluff. Anyway, back to the bashing :laugh:

[amber]

I think if you'd watched Oprah and saw the whole farce he put on, you'd be like...eeh...he's uber strange. His sister is his publicist--she knew a good thing when she saw it. Nicole and her films have been getting all of the attention as of late--time to throw Tom back into the limelight.

I saw it. It was okay. I guess I do not harp on him too much.

[amber]

I saw it. It was okay. I guess I do not harp on him too much.

:D :D :D

"He’s an actor—and a good one. If his public image is spinning out of control, his screen work is stronger than ever. Last year, Cruise deftly executed a skillful thespian stretch as a silver-haired hit man in Michael Mann’s Collateral; he contributed a sharp performance to 2003’s otherwise jagged Last Samurai; and he locked into just the right mixture of paranoia and athleticism in Spielberg’s 2002 Minority Report. I haven’t seen War of the Worlds yet, but I know that Cruise’s acting is increasingly subtle and mature—he’s moving into middle age as a man who’s looking for roles that challenge his eager-pleaser image, an ambitious streak that only bodes well for the future. Michael Mann told me, “I never worked with a bigger star who was more ‘up’ for subverting what people think about him.”"

[GateandGarden]

I never got over the whiney suing people for saying he's gay thing. That was oh so tacky and offensive. Some have said it was to protect his children. I've decided that's a bull****ty reason. Anyway, I used to like Katie, but...:shrug:

[cliffdweller]

I saw Batman Begins last night, and you're right Mr. Bale is gorgeous! The movie was fantastic, by the way. The only disappointment was Katie, who was terribly miscast, and who was never a good actress in the first place... :shrug:

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your glowing review. I ABSOLUTELY ADORE Christian Bale. Cannot wait for this new installment. And I agree, Katie Holmes is no actress. She should really just stick to Dawson's Creek caliber t.v. shows and leave the real acting to the professionals.

[cliffdweller]

Is that how it works?! Frick, send me 50 bucks and I'll talk to you about aliens, Scientology, Tom Cruise, John Travolta and Kirstie Ally ALLLLLL you want! :nod:

Unfortunately for her I believe the latter to be the case. She's happy now which is cool but I don't see that lasting. Nicole is cool so for her to leave Tom I'm thinking that things with Scientology were just too creepy for her. Total speculation on my part, of course. But sometimes, I just know these things. :lol:

I saw Nicole on one of those entertainment shows and she said she would like to have a body like J. Lo. or Angelina. :eek: She's got a great bod but I guess she would rather be curvy which I found interesting. Is anyone ever satisfied with how they look?

Wow. I think she is stunning. She's got a very lithe, beautifully classic frame, a little on the rail thin side, but I guess she's naturally that thin if she's pining for a curvier body.

[dissention]

I missed where he dissed Nicole - what did he say? :shrug:

In any event, he is getting weirder & weirder with each passing day. I'm sick of hearing about him, his movies, "TomKat", her movies, blah blah blah. I may have to skip the movie awards show so I don't barf. :rolleyes:

I knew it wouldn't be long before you started a thread about our favorite little man, Tracye. :xoxo:

What a ****wit he is. I couldn't stand him before, but now it hurts my everything to even look at him. Thank the stars Nicole got away from his alien-fearing ass. I wonder how many quarters he keeps in his pockets for when Xenu comes to take him to space.

[dissention]

Yeah, no relationship. I don't understand why celebs do this sort of thing. I know they are promoting movies, but sheebus...I would have seen Batman Begins anyways, because Christian Bale is hot as h*ll!! LOL

Yeah, that and the first reviews are saying that it's the Batman movie to end all Batman movies. It's supposed to kick ass.

Hey T, post the link you sent me of screencaps from Oprah!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

[cliffdweller]

I knew it wouldn't be long before you started a thread about our favorite little man, Tracye. :xoxo:

Yeah, I couldn't hold in my loathesome feelings for Toothy any longer! :laugh:

And besides that, you can't trust anyone with a middle tooth. :laugh:

[cliffdweller]

Hey T, post the link you sent me of screencaps from Oprah!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

I'll see if I can find them...

[dissention]

send me $100 and I'll tell you if I am :eek: :laugh: :rolleyes:

What I wouldn't give to hook your ass up to an E-Machine.

[dissention]

Yeah, I couldn't hold in my loathesome feelings for Toothy any longer! :laugh:

And besides that, you can't trust anyone with a middle tooth. :laugh:

You can't trust anyone who's as much of a douchebag as Toothy Cruise, dear.

I feel the need to post some Brooke Shields quotes about him...she's on fire these days. RED HOT and bitchy as all get out.

[GypsySorcerer]

Yeah, that and the first reviews are saying that it's the Batman movie to end all Batman movies. It's supposed to kick ass.

I love the Batman series. This one looks like it has a different feel -- a little dirtier and grittier and not so glitzy. I can't wait. :thumbsup:

My fave is the one where he looks like he's trying to molest God, er, Oprah.

[GypsySorcerer]

They were great, and I don't blame her one bit. Who the hell is Tom Cruise to tell anyone how they should have treated post partum depression? :rolleyes:

[wondergirl9847]

I never saw the infamous Oprah episode, those screencaps are high-larious!!

What a goob.

YAY about Batman reviews...I cannot frickin' wait to see it...I love that it's very dark.

He said:

"Here is a woman, and I care about Brooke Shields because I think she is an incredibly talented woman. You look at, where has her career gone? These drugs are dangerous [Paxil]. I have actually helped people come off. When you talk about postpartum, you can take people today, women, and what you do is you use vitamins. There is a hormonal thing that is going on, scientifically, you can prove that. But when you talk about emotional, chemical imbalances in people, there is no science behind that."

Only to blast him once again soon after regarding his relationship with Katie Holmes:

"If he wants to see Chicago, I've left him two tickets--one adult, one child."

And of course my fave is the extreme close-up of Toothy in all his maniacal glory. And, uh, Katie, you might want to get out now...especially after being held in your beloved's deathgrip (see last shot) :laugh:.

[dissention]

They were great, and I don't blame her one bit. Who the hell is Tom Cruise to tell anyone how they should have treated post partum depression? :rolleyes:

But he's helped people come off of those drugs, silly. And he said vitamins work best. :p

The real kicker was how he essentially mocked her career before he made any comments about her using Paxil. What a ****wit.

What was his last hit? MI2? Ick. He peaked in the 80s.

War of the Worlds will be a huge hit. I hope Batman kicks it's a$$ though!!

I love how the caption says something like, "words would only get in the way" in describing those stills. The first time I viewed them I laughed so hard I cried.

[dissention]

He's a turd, and IMO, he's making an ass out of himself. Can we say mid-life crisis?

Can we say closeted homosexual trying desperately to make people think he's straight by appearing on Oprah to show off the boner he supposedly gets for Katie Holmes?

[cliffdweller]

This "But when you talk about emotional, chemical imbalances in people, there is no science behind that." is bull****. :distress:


I know. I doesn't even make any logical sense either. I guess he thinks aliens are behind it :laugh:.

Even though I liked the movie, it was so funny trying to watch him act in Eyes Wide Shut. In every scene he shared with Nicole, she blew him to pieces. Hell, Lelee Sobieski blew him to pieces in their scene together. :laugh: Not even Kubrick could get a decent performance out of him.

[cliffdweller]

War of the Worlds will be a huge hit.

I know and it hacks me off! :laugh: Isn't this a Spielberg vehicle? Speaking of "they peaked in the 80's"... :laugh:.

I don't think it will be as big a hit as they think. Toothy's behavior and overexposure will be a part of it, you watch. Plus, it looks like a **** film.

[cliffdweller]

Eyes Wide Shut didn't work for me, mostly because of him. He was awful in that. :eek:

As someone so eloquently stated earlier: the man is a douche. Eyes Wide Shut could have worked had an actor with EMOTIONAL RANGE played that role.

Anyway, I don't think it will do that great. I know I won't be seeing it. :cool:

[dissention]

Eyes Wide Shut didn't work for me, mostly because of him. He was awful in that. :eek:

That scene where he comes home and finds the mask on the bed next to Nicole was simply putrid because of his acting. She's over there giving a fantastic performance, and he's over there acting like...Tom Cruise. It was wretched.

:nod: The movie was so flat for me. I didn't like it. With all of that "eroticism" it wasn't at all erotic for me.

I didn't think so either Suze. A lot of it, though, had to do with the fact that Tom Cruise blows as an actor with no emotional depth. Well, that and the fact that I don't find him appealing in ANY way :laugh:. I thought Nicole did a good job, especially the "stoned" scene.

But right behind them are Sienna Miller and Jude Law, just because they're so gorgeous that it's obnoxious.

I, of course, hate it when people make a comment on something unrelated to the award they are getting or their invitation to present. I think it is tasteless and opportunistic. I mean if you are that powerful and that rich, rent some of your own airtime and make a national commercial. Don't instead sponge off an event where you were invited to be for some completely other reason. AND - SS did appear in a sep. commercial - though I am unsure if she actually paid for the airtime herself; I think she was just the spokesperson.

It is just such a pet peeve when stars do that at someone else's gig :mad: To their defense, neither said a word last time around if I remember correctly.

I liked Tom until I found out about Scientology and how much of a cult it is. I had a bad experience with another "dangerous group" where a friend actually wound up having a psychotic break from a brain washing type of seminar they do. It was awful. So ever since then I am extremely suspicious of people involved in these types of groups.

War of the otherworldly: Cruise's faith in Scientology threatens film

The Independent/June 3, 2005
By Andrew Gumbel

But Cruise's recent behaviour has been so spectacularly off-the-wall that it has prompted senior executives at Paramount Studios to call crisis meetings and consider cancelling the third instalment of the Mission Impossible series, due to shoot next month.
...More recently, Cruise has used press interviews to promote Narconon, a drug rehabilitation programme invented by Scientology's founder, L Ron Hubbard, which has been thoroughly trashed by mainstream drug-addiction experts.
...According to members of the church, he has reached the sixth of eight Operating Thetan levels - he is trusted enough to know almost all of the "secret truth of the universe".

I fell asleep during the middle part and left before it was over. I thought it looked like someone shot it with a handi cam. I did like the Asian chick and the mother when they stopped over. Other than that - I thought it was unwatchable! But others liked it so I am happy for them.

Narconon is dangerous and I don't understand why the government allows those facilities to even operate. Scientology itself is considered a cult in many European countries, for cripes sake. The "church" used to operate glorified concentration camps.

[cliffdweller]

I know - but it really almost happened last time :laugh: And - I think they all do it for publicity, though some may also simultaneously do it to for an altruistic reason. I mean even SS revels in the light of that though her intentions are pure. Again, it amazes me how they will take the free stuff but not rent their own ad time. I mean they make millions per pic. and have millions in bank, yet they take the cheap shot against the express wishes of the people paying for them to be there. Oh well, such is life.

[strandinthewind]

Well, they are asked not to do it. Then, they accept the invitation anyway and all the hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of perks that go with it. I mean how can that be anything but rude :shrug:

Not so fast. They aren't going against any express wishes unless the producers request that they not make any political statements of any kind. They do not make those rules often, regardless of what the right wing or pundits claim, so the celebrities are not violating any rules if none are made. The fact is that it is a party for Hollywood, thrown by Hollywood, attended by Hollywood. They can do whatever they want and the last I heard, ABC had nothing written in their broadcast contract that the celebrities were not free to say what they want politically. If viewers do not like it, turn the dial, that's what it's there for. No one is forcing you to watch the commies and socialists get praised for the acting talents.

I am pretty sure the producers of the AA request no political statments be made. I rememeber reading that somewhere - but do not care enough to look it up.

Also, I think it is hysterical that you berate anyone with a yellow sticker on their car by calling them false and without good intent though you know perhaps a handful lof those millions, yet some star makes a crack at an award ceremony and you are in heaven.

His sister is his publicist--she knew a good thing when she saw it.

That was a huge mistake. He needs Pat Kingsley back. I suspect he's been this creepy all along but his former handlers were far more successful in keeping that side of him from the public eye.
I mean, Travolta's a Scientologist and people still find him likeable. :shrug:

I have very personal experience with Narconon. My husband just spent 6 months at a Narconon facility in Georgia. We had no idea that it was a Scientology based program until he was already in it. My mother-in-law paid them close to $20,000. It's such a nightmare; I won't bore you all with the details. Just know that Tom Cruise IS indeed a total ****head for pimping Narconon.

The saunas are bad enough, but then when they start with the vitamin injections, they're lucky they don't kill these poor people. I'm sorry this happened to you. It IS a cult and it needs to be treated as such.

Cruise Reaches Deal on 'Mission: Impossible 3' (http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20050608/ap_on_en_mo/people_cruise_2)

LOS ANGELES - After more than a week of haggling over costs, Tom Cruise and Paramount Pictures have reached a deal that will allow "Mission: Impossible 3" to move ahead with filming in Italy next month.

Paramount Pictures chairman and chief executive officer Brad Grey announced the agreement in a statement Tuesday. Filming will start July 18 on the third installment in the action-adventure series, which is a remake of a popular 1960s TV show.

The film will be directed by J.J. Abrams, who joined the project last August, and will be produced by Cruise and his partner, Paula Wagner.

"Tom's history with Paramount has made for one of Hollywood's most successful relationships; the opportunity to continue our collaboration with him on `Mission: Impossible 3' is everything anyone in show business could hope for," Grey said.

The deal fell into place after Cruise agreed to adjust his lucrative profit participation deal and shave a budget that had swelled to as much as $185 million, the Los Angeles Times reported.

The movie will feature Cruise and co-stars Ving Rhames, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Michelle Monaghan and Philip Seymour Hoffman. It is set for release on May 5, 2006.

Abrams is one of the creators of ABC's "Lost" and "Alias."

The first "Mission: Impossible" movie came out in 1996 and was directed by Brian De Palma. John Woo directed "Mission: Impossible II," which was released in 2000.

Either that or one of the crazies already on the island. There were people in a boat the last episode that took the one guys son. They thought they were there to help and started explaining the story of how the plane went down, there are people on the island, they're survivors, etc. and they took the mans kid :distress:

:sigh: This is show is not realistic...hence a sitcom. But still....If a plane went down in the "real world", there would be someone, somewhere, sending another to find these people.

Agreed. But, it's peaked my interest for some strange reason (i've only seen a few episodes). I think it's the whole everyone is on the island for a reason thing. I'm just curious to see how everything connects but I certainly don't think they can go too many more seasons with this show.

That's alright, I feel the same way about Lost. But we still have our mutual love for Twin Peaks in common. :laugh:

And let's just pray that they release the bloody pilot on DVD finally. Oh, and pray that they don't make the episodes so BRIGHT like on the first season DVDs. Gah. :laugh:

I have the import pilot DVD. I haven't watched my TP DVD's and tapes in awhile...I need to delve back into that world again. Hehe.

I hate that they can't just make ONE set. It's always broken up and you want to get it so bad, so you end up with tapes, DVD'S, imports, BLERGH!! :mad: I have enough sh*t in my house, I don't need MORE! LOL

I hate that they can't just make ONE set. It's always broken up and you want to get it so bad, so you end up with tapes, DVD'S, imports, BLERGH!! :mad: I have enough sh*t in my house, I don't need MORE! LOL

I bought the import DVD, too, but I think the quality is pretty bad. The sound is even sped up in places, I noticed, and I much prefer the 90 minute version to the two hour one (the two hour one gives way too much away and really spoils it, imo). What I would LOVE to see is a special edition of Fire Walk With Me. He supposedly shot over five hours for it, let us see some of it! :laugh:

Big time mistake. I still think Travolta's mega creepy and i've heard one too many stories about he and his wife.

Do tell.

I've heard he's super gay. Does it surprise me? Not at all. Just check out that dancing from Saturday Night Fever. Oy vey :rolleyes::laugh:

The Scientologists tout themselves as having cured him of his homosexuality. He's a quack, but nowhere near as big of one as Toothy. His wife is so beautiful that she could be a Manson follower and I wouldn't care.

[cliffdweller]

THis wife is so beautiful that she could be a Manson follower and I wouldn't care.

Kelly Preston? I think she's horribly average.

HA! :lol:

He didn't say anything. He requested to be moved away from where she was sitting. Apparently they were sitting nine seats away from each other or something. Uh, nine seats away is not sitting right next to someone. Basically the story made it seem like Tom and Katie were avoiding Nicole at every turn at the awards ceremony. But it also seems as if they were avoiding everyone and acting totally cultish. I'm sorry, those two are just WEIRD!!

He had to be moved from there. Even to be included in a long shot with Nicole Kidman would have worked as a class/ Hollywood Freak distony. ;)

I think she's beautiful, partly because she's average and looks *gasp* human and not like a tanorexic fetus.

I think she's sort of interesting looking...especially when she was younger a la her Spacecamp days (I love that film :nod: )

1996. You should get it, it's a ****ing riot. Laura Dern is a junkie who discovers she's pregnant, but then gets roped in by the pro-lifers, only to be roped in by the pro-choice groups later on. The whole movie is about the two groups fighting over her fetus. :laugh: Great cast, too. Swoosie Kurtz and Kelly Preston are hysterical as the pro-choice lesbians.

The best scene has to be when the pro-lifers force Dern to watch a film on abortions, wherein it says that fetuses are just thrown into dumpsters like trash. She walks out of the room and says "I've slept in dumpsters. Maybe I slept on babies." :laugh:

He said in an interview earlier yesterday that he's in the "darkest place of his life"... which is never a good place to be! :distress: It sounds like he has some major personal problems right now... in addition to being arrested.

I know AND all that about reporting to his wife - what was that about trust - oh there's little of that around :eek: I mean that implies something bad about their relationship, esp. when he clearly refered to being sober or not having had too much to drink. I feel for him because he is a tremendous talent (except to Cliffdweller and Diss :laugh: ) - and I think he becoming a little Judy Garlandesq in this self destructive behavior. I mean he could go to jail for years for this. I am pretty sure he won't, but to be in the situation that you could and all because of some stupid phone call and aggravating and incompetent hotel staff is creepy. I mean go to the pay phone on the corner and call collect :shrug:

Those hotel rooms are horrific!

I'm not a Crowe fan (I don't think I've seen any of his movies), and he did a stupid a$$ thing (agree with strand, WHY not go somewhere else to call collect or something?! Sheebus!), but if I had to choose between him and Cruise....I'm going with Crowe.
