I'd Give Real Money If He'd Shut Up

Actor Tom Cruise seems to be everywhere lately... and guess what folks? He's speaking out about everything but his career:

From his recent interview with Diane Sawyer for ABC's PrimeTime Live...

...To the May issue of GQ in which he discusses his "spectacular" sex life with his pregnant fiancee Katie Holmes, because they have such good "communications skills". He states that the physical act is a "by-product" of a successful relationship. "Sex is about the connection. Great sex is a by-product, for me, of a great relationship, where you have communication and it's an extension of that. Where it's just free. And that's how it should be. It's spectacular. If you're not in good communication with your partner, it sucks. [And it] is really horrible and pathetic and lonely." (blurb courtesy World Entertainment News Network)

In that same article, the actor once again lashes out at folks who depend on psychologists and meds to help them--saying “I think it’s appalling that people have to live a life of drug addiction when I have personally helped people get off drugs”.

The actor further claims that he can do this in something like 3 days...

Meanwhile, he has installed an in-home hospital for Holmes so that she can have a "silent birth" as dictated by Scientology.

I have no problem with the way Cruise handles his personal affairs--but every time he opens his mouth any more, I wonder where the "old" Tom Cruise has gone?

Sure, there are a lot of outspoken actors in Hollywood, but none of them seem to be speaking louder than Cruise... I say Do your job--- Make your millions--just do it quietly.

I wonder how this latest blitz will affect the box office for Mission Impossible III (opening May 5th)?

As for me, I plan to rent the sucker, as soon as it hits store shelves. I know I probably won't see it in theaters.

Great post title. Arguably the second best Star Trek villian ever.

A friend took me to see MI-III. It was good (action, suspense), but I would recommend others wait to see it on dvd.

I too am sick of hearing Tom Cruise talk about his love life. It sounds to me like he is still mourning the loss of Nicole and trying to convince himself (and us) that he is over her. People in love don't talk about it.

If he were truly in love with Kate and the baby, he would be home with them...

As far as I'm concerned, his love life should have never made the news at all...

Thanks for reading The Last Reel.
