All the buzz on your favorite Scientologist actor. Watch as the madness unfolds.
In an attempt to counter protesters attempting to smear their "religion," Scientologists planted fans to support Katie Holmes outside the theater in which she's performing on Broadway.
Culture Buzz NPR points out that Martin Luther King, Frank Sinatra, Bob Dylan, John McCain and Tom Cruise are all talented, American and 5 feet 7 inches tall. The article points out an interesting correlation between short men and the Napoleonic complex which drives them to do great things. Let's just please not use Tom Cruise and Prince in the same sentence.
Movie Buzz Tugg Speedman, Ben Stiller's character in the upcoming comedy Tropic Thunder, now has an official website that brazenly parodies Tom Cruise's. Far from subtle, the site is formatted almost exactly like Cruise's and boasts a similarly affected fan address and dramatic pose. This isn't the first time Stiller has poked fun at Cruise. Check out the YouTube vid Tom Crooze.
Celebrity Buzz Will Smith is starting a new private school called New Village Academy, which he insists is NOT a Scientology facility. The Children of Scientology are so much scarier than teen goths!
Celebrity Buzz Tom Cruise has been involved in his fair share of feuds from Brooke Sheilds to (most recently) Dr. Drew. Here's a recap of some of Cruise's most notable tiffs. Too bad Celebrity Death Match isn't around anymore. An entire season could have been devoted to Tom Cruise and his couch assaults.
Celebrity Buzz Hot on the heels of news the pair are making up, Cruise's turn as a Redstone-esque character in Tropic Thunder blows audiences away. Will this be the beginning of a comeback? If he keeps wearing the fat suit, we'd say yes.
Celebrity Buzz A new video is leaked, just in time for Scientology Day! Gawker has a new Tom Cruise Scientology video - this one shows his extravagant birthday tribute on a boat, complete with Scientology bigwigs, a band, a video tribute and an impromptu, Risky Business-style performance of Old Time Rock and Roll by Cruise.
Tech Buzz The superbike of choice for thrill-seekers and OT-VII's everywhere. Yes, it's a $72,000 motorcycle made of titanium and capable of reaching speeds up to 200 m.p.h. But owning one puts you instantly in Tom Cruise's vicinity - only 1,500 were made, and he got the first one - which means he might put his ethics on you.
Celebrity Buzz The leaked Tom Cruise video has spawned a cottage industry of imitators. Some are brilliant, some are bizarre, some prove that it takes more than donning a black turtleneck and laughing maniacally to be funny, and one proves that self-parody is the best kind of parody.
Culture Buzz An internal Scientology video featuring Tom Cruise talking about his beliefs has been leaked to the web. A lot of indoctrination videos share a certain set of aesthetics: Cheesy production values, soft lighting, jargon which might seem unintelligible to the outsider. Oh, and creepiness.
Movie Buzz Not only do Tom Cruise's Lions for Lambs co-stars Robert Redford and Meryl Streep dislike him, but the film tanked at the box office and looks like one of the biggest duds of Cruise's career. Maybe people don't like the weird schoolboy haircut? Nah, we think they're just not interested in the film's brainless sermonizing. Just wait till audiences get a load of Cruise as a Nazi!
Celebrity Buzz Germany hates Tom Cruise and bans him from making a movie. It's not the first time Germany has discriminated against a religious minority. But for some reason, the idea of an entire country turning against Tom Cruise is just so much funnier than the Holocaust.
Celebrity Buzz Relive various celebrities' lowest moments - from M.J.'s dangling toddler to the infamous Tom Cruise couch-jumping incident - in all the splendor of 3-D. Aren't you glad they've started making pop-up books for adults? Lucky attendees at this Thursday's Eyebeam benefit will get a copy in their glorious gift bags!
Culture Buzz Tom Cruise hosts a 9/11 fund-raising gala for firefighters and cops for a controversial "New York Rescue Workers Detoxification Project." We remain unconvinced that a colonic will rid your mind and body of 9/11 trauma. If anything, it will probably introduce you to all sorts of new traumas.
