I can't help it. This Tom Cruise being fired? Train wreck exciting. It's more exciting than Mel Gibson being a raving drunk anti-Semite because a) no one is being hated on here except someone who has enjoyed a long and overly successful career relative to his ability, and b) schadenfreude. Oh, a and b are kind of the same thing, aren't they? Well, yeah, but still, I'm having a grand old time. Why? Because if anyone had this coming, it was Tom Cruise. I don't even read celebrity rags any more (nosirree, only clean wholesome movie magazines for me!), and I got sick of the bastard. I can only imagine how hellish it was for the rest of the world that couldn't just ignore him. I never forgave him (again, feminist) for his shit about post-partem depression being conquerable without drugs all the time. I know your religion is your choice and it is a right we all have to be religious in our own way. Then you shut the fuck up about how someone else does things with their life when they're not a fucking cultist. Erm, Scientologist. Fucker.

Ahem. Away from the ranty-rant, back to the bitch-slapping fest that is Cruise being booted!

Can you say boycott? Ooh, snap! Take that, Paramount! The CAA is gonna take its stars and walk if you don't apologize and make nice to Tom Cruise by giving all the perks his box-office drawing power doesn't merit. Damn if that doesn't remind me of something...

Oh, might it have been all those rumors about how Tom Cruise put pressure on the powers that be in order to pull a repeat of a certain episode of the show off the air? I'm sure that bears no resemblance to what the CAA's doing...

Here's a thought: it was those darned kids...er, DVDs!

That's right. The decline in DVD sales (caused by piracy, don'tcha know) is what really got Cruise fired. I love conspiracy theories!

And one last note: Oh no! Say it ain't so! Sorry to all my guy friends--Superman is off the market! I guess that settles the actor's gay-rumor mill problem. Maybe in the future, some time, some where, we will finally get that super man who can play the Man of Steel and not have that pesky heterosexuality-loving, wife-and-kids problem. Blech.

New news...

Tom Cruise has apologized to Brooke Shields for criticizing her use of anti-depressant medication when she was diagnosed with post-partum depression following the birth of her first child. The Mission: Impossible actor and Shields became embroiled in a war of words last year when Scientologist Cruise accused the Cheers actress of failing to understand psychiatry. Following Cruise's comments, Shields hit back calling them a "ridiculous rant" and a "disservice to mothers everywhere". But Shields told Jay Leno on his Tonight Show on Friday that Cruise came to her house recently in an attempt to heal their relationship. She said, "He came over to my house and gave me a heartfelt apology. I was so impressed with how heartfelt he was. "I did not feel that he was trying to convince me of anything other than the fact that he was deeply sorry. And I accepted it." Cruise's lucrative contract with Paramount was reportedly cancelled last month because of the comments he made about Shields. Cruise's spokesperson Arnold Robinson says, "It is true that his friendship with Ms. Shields has been mended. "(But) he has not changed his position about anti-depressants, which as evidenced by the black label warnings issued by the FDA on these types of drugs, are unhealthy."

I'm glad to realize that he stepped over the line by singling her out. He's still insane about denying people medication they legitimately need to feel whole and normal.
