I thought Tom Cruise might just forget about this one, but apparently he is willing to have the Bronson Pinchot interview recycled for another round of stories by letting his publicist try and explain away his statements from 25 years ago.
In order to make this easier for all of you, let me remind you of the statements once again. We want to make sure Tom gets his money's worth. Basically Bronson called Tom a homophobe and said that on the set of Risky Business, Tom would make every conversation about gay people. Lovely comments, like "It's a nice day, I'm glad there are no gay people standing here."
Seriously I have read this line 20 times this week and it cracks me up. I am sure it wasn't exactly how he said it, but I could see him saying other lines like "I'm glad when I have this sex scene with Rebecca in the subway there won't be any gay people watching." Oh, or "Just make sure when I slide into the living room in my tighty whiteys and shirt that no gay people are looking."
Oh, and in a homage to Kanye West, how about this one. "Tom, imma gonna let you finish, but I want to make sure there are no gay people here."
Anyway, Tom's publicist told TV Guide that "Obviously this is so far removed from who Tom Cruise is as a person, this must have been said in jest." Uh huh. Well what about the squirrels? Huh?
So, is the publicized saying Tom said this stuff in jest, or that BP did?
ReplyDeleteThe ice cream one is my favorite.

ReplyDeleteoops, publicist.
ReplyDeleteClearly there is a mix up. I doubt Tom Cruise said these things. George Wendt probably said them while he was watching Cop Rock.
ReplyDelete@Karmen~ why did I just take the time to read that backwards stuff?
ReplyDeleteI really ned to do something else with my life.
@ lilbitsolo - At least YOU realized it backwards! I just thought it was gibberish. I had to read YOUR post before I could go back and take the time to read Karmen's. What does that say about me needing to get a life?
ReplyDeleteOh, and to paraphrase... "Little Tommy doth protest too much, methinks."
Ah, good old Tom truly is the litmus test for crazy.
ReplyDeletemy keyboard is messed up & i don't know why. sorry!
ReplyDeleteWhatchoo smokin' there, Karmen?
ReplyDeleteSupposedly, the squirrels he refered to were the picketers that were protesting outside. GO SQUIRRELS!
ReplyDeleteHooray my keyboard is normal again!
ReplyDelete@selenakyle - Nothing. My keyboard just went spastic on me. If I were smoking something, there's no way I'd be that diligent to spell everything backwards.
Yes obviously so far removed from who tom cruise is as a person...obviously he is so comfortable with his own sexuality...that is why he hired Nicole as his beard and then Katie and that is why they leak absurd stories to the press about Katie's grand idea to have sex with her so he can lose his nonexistent pudge.
ReplyDeleteHe shouldn't have commented. If he really wanted to prove he wasn't a total homophobe he should have done an interview with the Advocate or something. I might actually like him a tiny little bit if he had the balls to play a gay role in a movie. But alas Xenu would not approve!
What's interesting is how easy it is to read backwards text!
ReplyDeleteAlso interesting is the fact that the only thing Tom is far removed from as a person is sanity.
Tom. Dude. We all know. Just relax and be who you are.
What *I* wanna see is Denzel's response!
ReplyDeleteRocketQueen, I think Denzel's response was already part of the interview. Pinchot said that Denzel was a dick to him, and that his excuse was that his character didn't like BP's character.
ReplyDeleteI like that Pinchot shot Denzel's excuse down, along with Cruise's tendency to refer to everyone off-camera by their character names. BP was pretty much saying, c'mon, we're actors, this is our job, don't be so pretentious.
Yes because making the bashing a joke makes it less homophobic and just wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThat publicist is as big an ass as Tom.
This was pretty much a non-denial from Tom's camp. Which of course means what Balki says is true.
ReplyDeleteSquirrels don't lie!
ReplyDeleteI must confess - I did not understand the ice cream comment from TC. Anyone care to explain? I don't get out much.
ReplyDelete"Tom, imma gonna let you finish, but I want to make sure there are no gay people here."
ReplyDelete^THIS is why i heart you , enty.
teehee!
I can no longer enjoy any movie that Tom Cruise has been in--his weirdness overshadows any enjoyment I might have had watching.
ReplyDeleteLutefisk, I'm with you. Cruise & Julia Roberts are both nails to a chalk board to me & both banned.
ReplyDeleteStrange strange strange little man!
ReplyDeleteFggy....ts mzng wht th hmn mnd cn rd...gnrlly, th brn jst flls n th blnks.
ReplyDelete:o)
Yeap Gay Cruise should have ignored this instead he responded. Dumb head.
ReplyDeleteNo matter how much he try's to show how much of a man he is. He isn't in my book LOL.
where the squirrels, by any chance, gay?
ReplyDeleteIs his sister still his publicist?
ReplyDelete@ Karmen... giggles - some days I love being dyslexic.
ReplyDeleteI'm a really good at reading things upside down, backwards was a little tougher, and my brain just naturally filled in the blanks for Majik's.
ReplyDeleteI would rather talk about reading skills than TC.
any celeb who has their publicist respond this quickly to something is completely guilty of whatever they've been accused of.
ReplyDeletein this case, it's something everyone already knows: Cruise is an overcompensating closet case.
Cruise IS dumb. He thinks people still believe what publicists say. Has he gotten his GED yet?
ReplyDeleteHe was good in one movie - Minority Report. Everything else was crap but HE CAN'T ACT.
