    I long for July. Bring on the blackout!

  2. lucy says:

    I believe Tom should rethink his stance on psychiatric drugs, as it is quite plain that he is in dire need of some of them. I mean, LOTS of them.

  3. Research Department says:

    Newsflash:
    Tom’s new child not-bride is rumored to be somewhere between 5’ 8 and 5’ 11 – JUST LIKE HITLER
    Look out Katie Holmes! Yes, he loves you today, but tomorrow morning perhaps you wake up with a pillow over your face.

  4. Franklin says:

    Like Walter says:
    “say what you will about the tenets of national socialism, at least its an ethos, dude.”

    I think Frank Zappa summed up scientology with L Ron Hoover & the 1st Church of Appliantology.

  5. I’d just point out that all this anti-Cruise propaganda is being propagated by a KNOWN ADMIRER of Charles Lindbergh, Nazi sympathizer.

    Coincidence? I think not.

    this is awesome, gorjus!

    this egotistical gore is from an article in details i read whilst i waited for herman to get a haircut last saturday:

    “We instinctively revere the great artist, painter or musician, and society as a whole looks upon them as not quite ordinary beings. And they are not. They are a cut above man. . . . He who can truly communicate to others is a higher being who builds new worlds.”

    “There’s so much interest,” Cruise explains when asked why he invites not only journalists but also studio executives and co-stars to go on tours of his Scientology college. “People want to know—how did I do what I’ve done? I don’t believe in hiding things. A lot of people want to hide things and not let people know the truth because they feel that there’s a kind of control or power in that. See, I believe the opposite. If I’ve done something and it’s helped me I’ll turn to anyone and say, ‘Look, I’ve gone this way.’”

    The crash course spans six hours and three facilities and includes lectures and exhibits on the evils of psychiatry; a swing through the church’s Celebrity Centre International; and “a gift from Tom”—a pricey black nylon computer bag with a card embossed with TOM CRUISE on one side and your name on the other. Inside are various Scientology materials and DVDs, including a bright-orange pamphlet titled The Way to Happiness, whose cover features in large letters the sentiment YOUR HAPPINESS MEANS THE WORLD TO ME, with Cruise’s name printed beneath it.

  7. Mr. Mooch says:

    how in the world ANY of the things that Tom Cruise is doing is either newsworthy or controversial is beyond me. in case you missed it:

    Tom is a man dating a younger woman (THIS has never happened in either Hollywood OR the USA at any other point in the future).

    Tom is a religious guy and gets asked about it…THEN has the gall to TALK about his religious beliefs to those asking him about it (scum!)

    FINALLY, he’s goofy while on TV with Oprah (home of ONLY serious policy discussions).

    heh.

  8. vendela says:

    herr mooch,

    come on. it’s a little wacky/creepy to spend your money on a physical campus devoted to a religion that thinks the earth is a penal colony for alien (and of course, thusly, higher-evolved) beings. and to dispense opinions on national tv about how post-natal depression isn’t real because john travolta, lisa marie, and kirstie alley don’t think it is real either—and they should all know cuz they’ve spent the last few decades having colonoics while someone else took care of their screaming babies—does open you up for the yuck yucks.

    i mean, if i thought the singing pigs who live in my ear whispered lottery numbers to me the first wednesday of every month, fine. but if i set up shop on the corner and start preaching about it, it’s ok for folks to laugh at me (especially if i deem myself special cuz the pigs picked ME, out of everyone, to divulge the mysteries of the lotto.

    wait, mr. mooch, are you a scientologist?

  9. lucy says:

    I just think he’s crazy, and I like to laugh at and talk about crazy people.

  10. kubrick81 says:

    Mr. Mooch is right. Let’s sit quietly with our hands in our laps and not pay any attention to anything related to pop culture. Because pop culture is Unworthy of Our Attentions.

    Thanks.

  11. Jaxxie Glam says:

    Mr. Mooch, you poor dear, is everyone picking on you?
    Ya’ll leave the drunk monkey alone.
    While I think that Tom’s behavior is absolutly abominable and not to be excused by his CRAZINESS, I can see Mooch’s point.

    Vendela, whenever you’re ready to set up shop with those lucky singing ear pigs, let me know. I want to be your manager.

  12. gorjus says:

    You guys are cracking me up. And along the lines of what Lucy said, I don’t just like to laugh at and talk about crazy people, I like to make them seem EVEN CRAZIER using chopped-up Entertainment Weeklys and USes.

    I mean, come on. Dumping Nicole Kidman because she’s from Australia? Tom, that is CRAZY. The Jetta thing? I can get behind that. But not axing poor Nicole.

  13. jaysus says:

    hey gorj – i’m warnin’ you – no pickin’ on Ms. Abdul! didn’t you mean
    “Mariah Carey-Crazy?”

  14. Polly says:

    bah, i don’t care if he worships his bathwater and dates ole miss freshmen! (thanks jaxxie!)

    hell, i dont’ even think y0u should have any other opinion than ya have already about the guy, it just seems a BIT much scrutiny over meaningless trivia. it isn’t like he’s having sleep overs w/ young boys or giving blowjobs in ‘independent’ films ahem (MJ, and chloe, we’re looking at you).

    i’m not even saying its not weird. it just doens’t seem THAT crazy. esp the age difference. god, look at Jack N. and ANYONE he’s dated over the last 30 years.

    heh.

    of course, i’m about to TOTALLY get with a 1st year law student anyday now…

  15. Sally says:

    I’ve been thinking, and I’ve decided that it’s less the fact that it’s Tom Cruise wildly declaring his undying love for Katie Holmes. It’s more that it’s fucking annoying to wildly declare one’s undying love for anyone and anything (including your religion). It makes you a zealot, and zealots are creepy.

  16. vendela says:

    that’s it, sally. you’re right.

    i guess i just freak out when any man starts having an opinion about ANYTHING a woman goes through pertaining to her uterus, especially if that opinion is that she’s not right, and it’s all in her head.

  17. gorjus says:

    Yah, that’s what me & you talked about yesterday, Vendy. It’s not like he’s criticizing Tom Hanks for having turkey-neck, it’s that he’s criticizing a woman WHO JUST HAD A HUMAN BEING COME OUT OF HER BODY for NOT FEELING GOOD. I mean, that’s what it IS.

    And you know what? I’m perfectly content to say, Ms. Shields, that is ALL yr business. He is a dork. And yet!! Comedy gold!

  18. Mr. Mooch says:

    now that brooke shields stuff is dead on, and ive been talking about the comments in the press, not here. I agree with sally, but it doesn’t help that ET is running that crap on loop bc MJ was still in court and Jolie/Pitt have yet to fuck in public and take it off the headlines.

    but yeah, i agree about the zealot-ry. example: guns don’t bother me or make me nervous. HOWEVER people that just LOVE ‘em a little TOO much make me nervous. (i mean, i know a guy that carries a gun in his car. ok, i get it. i might not do it, but i get it. what i don’t get is that he has 2 EXTRA full clips for the pistol. i mean, what sorta action movie life are you living where you not only need a gun, but you need to be able to empty the thing 3 times over to save your life. This is Jackson, not the Lebanon.

  19. pinky says:

    well, mr. mooch, i can’t say much about that gun thing. i have 4 clips, 2 of which are 15 rounds each (i use hollow points in my gun, too). but i do understand what ya’ll are saying. this new found crazy that Tom has is a little overwhelming, and a little scary. and no one has pointed out that this is a Hollywood romance and in 6 months he will hate her.

    side note: gorjus needs to email me if he can come up here on july 22nd so i can get hitched. if anyone sees him, pass it along.

  20. Polly says:

    um…even with your job…do you ever think you’d need to spray out 4 clips? seriously? i mean, lets say you have to shoot 5x to before you hit someone…you gonna kill 12 people?

    heh.

  21. Brad says:

    What are you talking about?? No part of Germany, Nazi or otherwise, has never been in the Eastern Hemisphere. Don’t you Americans know ANYTHING about world geography?

  22. Dypsis says:

    It’s not that he’s dating a younger woman or espousing his religious beliefs. It’s the fact that he’s getting obsessive about it. That he’s been telling an entire profession who’ve actually done scietific studies to show that their drugs do have an effect that they’re “not real scientists” and their careers are all “pseudoscience” (while playing an armchair historian whose only education extends to high school).

    Then, to top it off, telling someone that she’s wrong to treat herself with drugs that have obviously worked for her that she’s misinformed, wrong, and her career has gone nowhere without scientology, that is the problem.

    He’s making himself look bad, and I think he may even be making scientology look worse than it already appears to the general public.

    By the way, if you didn’t see it, here’s a link to Dane Cook making fun of Cruise’s appearance on David Letterman, when he appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel show:

  23. Squirrelhead says:

    Um, Brad, our geography’s pretty good. . .

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_hemisphere

    Loaned my dad my copy of Collateral while he recovers from hernia surgery. I asked him how he liked it, and he said, “I thought it was pretty good. Too bad that Cruise fella has gone batshit crazy.”

  24. What’s scary is the agregious spouting of what has been pointed out as internal Scientologist misinformation (see EW article re: Adolphine) as legitimate science; Tom’s read a CoS brief about it, and has been so brainwashed he believes it, and is expousing it as gospel.

    It’s actually quite disturbing. When it comes to midget celebrities with messiah complexes, I must prefer Trent Reznor.

  25. Australia… Austria… you do the math.

  26. Whoneedslight says:

    Rather than the fact that Katie is dating an older Scientology-crazed celebrity, the part that really bothers me is the fact that she’s dumped her manager and friends, has no hesitation in joining the cult er, religion I mean, and DOESN’T HAVE THE DECENCY TO WEAR FLATS

    Is anyone starting to feel really sorry for poor Steven Spielberg?

  27. k says:

    hey ustez mooch… even in lebanon you don’t need multiple clips. you don’t even need a gun these days. all you need are 2 things, both jet black. a merc and an amex. then you own the place, and are probably rich enough to buy tom cruise and become OT-VII many times over.
    lebanese may be crazy, but they’re crazy in a fun, action-packed, car chasing, hot women way. and if they’re going to go screaming about religion, at least their (many) religions make some sort of cultural, historical, and sociological sense.

  29. larsbars says:

    Germany is east of the prime meridian and west of the international date line. So it’s in the eastern hemisphere in both of the senses mentioned in the wikipedia article linked to above.

  30. Greg says:

    Wow, it’s fun to ridicule others, ain’t it, gang?

    I’m sure glad I was not part of YOUR sandblock – you all were probably giving wedgies to the little kids and stealing lunchboxes.

    So Tom Cruise has a cause he believes in. So what. Kim Bassinger promotes animal rights. Martin Sheen is anti-Iraq-War. Princess Diana talked about landmines. Tom Cruise is against drugging our kids.

    ...And this makes him… crazy??

    Whatever.

    You guys must have missed the Today Show follow-up, where Dr. Joseph Glenmullen, professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, said that Tom had actually raised some important points, and that Tom Cruise is right in saying that there is no medical proof or evidence of a “chemical imbalance”, in fact, other Countries have already banned shrinks from making that claim.

    When asked about the dangers of these drugs, the noted psychiatry scholar said: “Well for example with the antidepressants we now have a warning that they make some people suicidal; people may gain 20, 30, 40 lbs. of weight, and have severe withdrawal…”

    Also, several other doctors have spoken out on the drugging of Postpartum depression issue.

    Here’s another article on doctors criticizing Brooke Shields for HER pro-drug stance.

    Last but not least: You think psychiatry has nothing to do with the Nazis? Ok, class – do a Google on “Society for Racial Hygiene”, look at its founders. Or do a Google on Ernst Rudin, or Alfred Ploetz.

    You’ll be surprised. The Holocaust came from the idea that imperfect humans could be eliminated. That idea came from German psychiatry. I sh*t you not.

    Here’s an interesting quote: “Only through [the Führer] did our dream of over thirty years, that of applying racial hygiene to society, become a reality.” Ernst Rüdin, Nazi psychiatrist

  31. “The Holocaust came from the idea that imperfect humans could be eliminated.”

    Yeah, I’m pretty sure you can’t find a credible psychiatrist today who would be in favor of eliminating imperfect humans. I’m sure psychiatry was part of the whole eugenics thing, but so was biology. And I ain’t giving up blood! Or mitochondria!

    Actually, I’m getting a little worried, just thinking about all the things the Nazis used to carry out and/or justify the final solution. Electricity! Water! Chairs! Ford Motor Company! Is anything ever anywhere in the world free from the taint of Hitler?

  32. michael hammond says:

    In the recent interview with Matt Lauer this is the point that Tom Cruise didn’t make.

    Do you know how much prescription drugs are worth to Big Pharma? On a world wide basis about a trillion + dollars. How far do you think they would go to protect this income? How much do you suppose the pharmaceutical companies spend advertising drugs on TV, Radio, Magazines and News media? How much do they spend lobbying Congress to look the other way? How much do they pay (Grants) universities such as Harvard and Columbia to agree that drugging children is scientifically valid? Right now Ritalin is being dispensed in schools under the guise of treating over active children. Ritalin is a form of amphetamine and of course as time goes by and it doesn’t “work” the school psychologist then prescribes a higher dosage and then amphetamines and the end product is the teenager becomes a drug addict and a lifetime client. Please don’t believe me but take the time to research it, Google is a great tool for this. Keywords are Prozac, Ritalin, School shootings, and Suicide. Regards Michael Hammond

  34. Pauly D says:

    If you must know, you’ve missed one panel in between the VW destruction phase and the full and total Paula Abdul-crazy media blackout.

    Apparently, Cruise, during Christmastime 2004, he was seen visiting over 12 local Los Angeles based Ralph’s Supermarkets where he was buying up German Chocolate Cakes (you know why) and re-arranging boxes in the medicine aisles so those medicines that were good at fighting GERMS would be at eye level for all consumers. He was rumored to have said, “If we’re to fights those damn GERMS, the public needs to be empowered to do so…and at eye level.”

    Later that same day, Cruise was rumored to have eaten an ice pop and say, “I like ice pops. Chilly chilly! Makey my tongue swell.”

    He blamed the Germans for that, too.
