So his behavior was fine as long as he was making them money?

I can't stand Tom Cruise. I was never on the Cruise bandwagon, not even in the beginning (though I did love the movie "The Last Samurai"). This over-the-top behavior of his has done nothing to help my opinion of him.

i'll give him a pass for vanilla sky (which i really enjoyed), but that's about it.

more than anything else, i'm looking forward to how they're going to report this on the soup this weekend...

I used to really like Cruise before he revealed himself to be such a crazy fucker. I think that if he hadn't fired his agent and hired his sister, no one ever would have found out how batshitinsane he was.

The thing is, he is still making bundles of money for the studios, and his crazy shit hasn't been all that crazy as Hollywood goes. It doesn't make any sense to fire him--unless some new weirdness, much worse than anything before, is about to become public.

I liked 'Magnolia', but that was a great movie anyway, despite his presence in it.

I always thought he was a prize knob and could never understand why women think he is hot.

I heard he went on a baby-eatin' rampage through the daycare trailer on the set of MI3. He ate the better part of about two dozen of the squirmy little things before they put him down with a ketamine dart.

Of course this wouldn't normally be enough to annoy a wizened studio executive of this caliber, for babies cost next to nothing and they practically grow on trees, but Cruise inadvertently devoured most of Redstone's girlfriend.

What redvixen said. He's never been anybody but Tom Cruise. And his teeth don't line up with his nose, which is way too big and bulbous. He's a moron.

*does happy dance*

He needs to put down the L. Ron koolaid and go see a pharmapsychologist.

Team Brooke!
