Slog - Comments on Paramount Gives Tom Cruise the Boot http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/08/paramount_gives_tom Tom Cruise's big blabby mouth and psychotic Scientological proselityzing have finally led to a concrete punishment: Paramount Pictures has announced the cessation of its 14-year relationship with Cruise's film production company due to Cruise's "unaccetable" offscreen behavior. "As much as we like him personally, we thought it was wrong to renew his deal," said Viacom chairman Sumner Redstone in The Wall Street Journal. "His recent conduct has not been acceptable to Paramount." Full Cruise-dumping story here. To add insult to injury, Paramount also announced its signing of a two-picture deal with professional Cruise-bashers Matt Stone and Trey Parker, who'll create...

STOP! Enough Tom-all-the-time coverage.

He's the biggest star in Hollywood history and he's strategically dismantled his career. Gong crazy is by far the most interesting thing Tom Cruise has ever done.

I think he has the napoleon complex which is common in short men. His choice of tall women to mate with is an indication that he is loathful of his height and wants to have taller children. I carefully replayed and watched the interview he had with Matt Lauer and I saw a lot of anger in Tom. He has some demons that probably go back to his own childhood. He may have been a kid that was prescribed medication and he resents it deeply. As for picking Katie for a wife, she is too young to be a good mental companion and there would have been plenty of older women he could have wooed prior to his recent change in reputation. I also want to say that John TRavolta is a little obsessive on his flying. He has two 707 jets and wears a Captain’s uniform including shoulder stripes when he flies. Aren’t those stripes supposed to be earned as a legitimate Captain? I see him as a Captain wanabee. Just my candid observations of two Scientologists but what do I know.
