Maybe he should carry a bucket of water around with him for such a purpose - though I am sure there was one right by him in this instance :rolleyes: :laugh:

I have only two words for you dahling: Zsa Zsa.

Well, she hit a cop :laugh: And - I know many who though she was justified. If a guy had done that, they would have pinned him to the ground and kicked him for good measure :eek: :laugh:

I get that what they did was revolting, but he was a big baby about it. He simply could have chuckled for a brief moment, told them he had to move on, and left it at that. Or he could have simply said that it was rude and left. But no, he decided to create more bad press for himself. Spielberg must be pulling his hair out by now from being so worried about how Toothy is going to affect his movie.

Or how about Diana Ross? :laugh: I am pulling out all the crazy broads today! :] :]

Yes you are :laugh: La Ross - bless her heart.

Yeah, damage control is a bitch ain't it? :laugh:

I just do not see how this is bad press. I mean they attacked him in an effort to exploit him as he was graciously going to the fans to greet them :shrug: If anything, they alone look bad.

She belongs in a straightjacket.

Oh no doubt about it. But I do think that everyone is making much more out of this than need be. It was water for chrissakes not napalm.

He laughed briefly then went ape****.

Cruise appeared to laugh but then asked the prankster: "Why would you do that?"

As the man gave a barely audible excuse, Cruise said: "Do you like thinking less of people, is that it?" The prankster tried to walk away but Cruise reached across the metal barrier, held his arm and said: "Don't run away. That's incredibly rude. I'm here giving you an interview and you do that ... it's incredibly rude."

The actor grew increasingly irritated and told the man: "You're a jerk."

Police detained the man who squirted Cruise and also arrested three other men who filmed the incident. The four were working on a new comedy show for British TV station Channel 4 in which celebrities are the targets of practical jokes.

I have no clue if he sought out the police or not, so there's no point in assuming anything.

"Attacking." :laugh:

That's exactly the kind of word that creates the bad press by making people think the whole mess is ridiculous. A lot of people look at this and think he overreacted. Couple that with his TomKat bull**** and it's just another thing to chalk up on the long list of his increasingly tard-like actions.

In your eyes, sure. They had a poll on one of those tittytainment shows this morning (The Insider or some such ****) and 69% said that they thought he was essentially an ass over the whole thing.

I know - I deleted that post :cool:



Well, we know now that it was water. But, what would be rushing through your mind if some crazed person sprayed your face, which is you livelihood, with some liquid while you were in a crowd. I would freak out a lot, esp. in this day and age.

I think you just hate Tom Cruise and refuse to cut him any slack :laugh:

I love how Spielberg is defending Toothy's Oprah appearance!

"What Tom did on `Oprah' was exactly what Tom did with me when he first told me about Katie Holmes. But the press didn't like the way Tom bared his soul to Oprah."

:laugh:
