Tom Cruise's lawyer threatened the National Enquirer yesterday with a lawsuit for their house of horrors cover. He says it is riddled with lies. Of course he doesn't bother to say which parts are true and which are lies. He did say that Tom is not a monster and is a wonderful father and that it is a shame that his children and maybe someday, grandchildren will be able to see that cover. Umm, you know what is a shame? That someday his kids and grandchildren will continue to read about the awful things Scientology has done to people's lives and that Tommy Boy was one of the kingpins of it. That is what they should be ashamed by. Oh, and I'm shocked that the half naked woman cover didn't land them in any trouble, but apparently any cover stories that have Tom in bed with a woman are always a good thing. They could probably put a cover story up about Tom having sex with ten women and some kind of marathon sex weekend and no one would hear a peep even if it was not in the slightest bit true, but call him a monster which has probably a lot of truth to it and you end up getting threatened with a suit. They won't be sued though. It would be a losing battle.
Of course they'll sue. He's a supreme being now. It would be like calling Mohammed a pederast.
ReplyDeleteI like the Oprah fired headline the best. Let's get some details on that.
ReplyDeleteIt's weird to think that there are half-naked women roaming this planet, plopping themselves down in the bed of celebrity Scientologists and listening to the schizoid utterances of madmen.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Tom has even been in bed with a half naked woman? I bet he thinks girls are icky
ReplyDeleteOMG, I need to go buy me some Enquirers - you know that shit is true!
ReplyDeleteWatched MI4 with the kids last night. The man is no actor, but watching him on screen reminded me how Katie could be sucked in. He has an intense, magnetic presence. If that was focused on you, I think you'd be overwhelmed. Especially if you were a twenty something who couldn't remember a time when Tom Cruise wan't the biggest name in Hollywood.
"Intense, magnetic presence" is also a descriptor of men like Jim Jones and Charles Manson.
Delete@Henriette - I think that Oprah thing happened. Discovery Channel took control of her network (OWN replaced Discovery Health, I believe) due to low ratings.

Sorry, I still don't know how to make it clicky.
Maybe Steppy or Shelly was the half-naked "woman".
Oh I think you have me confused with Sherry. She wanted to be the next contract beard. GMD can hang with his Athlete, Musician, and Actor.
DeleteOr Steppy. They are most def pals.
@frufra
ReplyDeleteI think the Big O got the boot too, but it's been very hush-hush.
I agree, BlueDahlia - totally. And many politicians and preachers, in my experience.
ReplyDeleteAnd no, I'm not saying all politicians and preachers are cult leaders or serial killers. Just saying that personality type is drawn to those positions of power.
Sorry, but I love that Tommy Boy is freaking out...
ReplyDeleteOn one of the ex-CoS message boards one guy was SUPER PISSED about some mistreatment and said his sister worked in the household of TC & Katie Holmes.
ReplyDeleteHe didn't provide many details but suffice to say the constant monitoring part is pretty accurate. Along with anything going wrong being the fault of whomever is closest.
To clarify: he was super pissed about how he felt HE had been mistreated after years with CoS.
OMG, Shelly I'm so sorry!
ReplyDeleteLol! It's ok, girl! Btw you are one of my favorite commenters. You're so witty- I swear you crack me up.
Deletehunter, can you put up a link/reference that site? I know you've done so before, but I didn't have time to check it out then. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha, well I try. :D Sometimes it's just too easy.
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting patiently for my boss to leave so I can watch that video Vicki! I'm sure its hilarious
ReplyDeleteLOL, the YAAFM series was hilarious. I wish they'd kept it going.
ReplyDelete@Vicki Cupper
ReplyDeleteBetween harassing B. Profane and my hubby, I know how to make a clicky link now! I have this on a notepad on my desktop:
Put your text here
Thanks, Sunny, but I'm pretty stupid. I need step-by-step instructions. lol
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it involve the "a" tag?
@Vicki Cupper
ReplyDeleteYes it does, and I am really just cutting and pasting the cheater note that my spouse left me on my desktop. I will figure a way to post it (and probably clog the thread every time I goof it up)
lmao Vicki..that video was too funny. I think YAAFM may be my favorite acronym ever
ReplyDelete@Vicki
ReplyDeleteThis was the cut and paste link that B. Profane gave me, and my husband dumbed it down for me. Once you check out this link, what's between the "quotes" is the web address, and what's between the <...> symbols are what you want to call the link

Thanks, Sunny!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I hope the "Tom is a monster" issue is still for sale! That looks too fun to miss.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteOh FFS, he's not going to sue, because then that would open up a whole can of worms, which TC (and CO$) doesn't want. If they sue, the Enquirer can dispose whomever they want, which surely would be former members.
ReplyDeleteBert Fields loves, loves, loves to send threatening letters.
Oh and Sunny, I still haven't figured out how to make everything clicky either. I'm sure once I do, though, I'll feel like an idiot for not realizing how easy it was.
i wish south park was returning sooner to get their take on tom and katie. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteI can not deal with the neon flashing 'WINNER' signs here anymore. They give me migraines. I have tried putting post it's over them and moving my screen. GAAAAAAAAAAAA!
ReplyDeleteDirtydisher, install Adblocker. It's free and it totally works! Even the commercials on The Daily Show are blocked.
ReplyDeleteI really wish I could walk out and get that NQ. Damn you Denmark and your lack of current US magazines!
ReplyDeleteIf this is on sale tomorrow when I go grocery shopping, I'm totally going to buy it, just because it'll piss the GMD off.
ReplyDeleteWhat is GMD?
ReplyDeleteSue them Tom, Tabloid trash
ReplyDelete@Kim Gay Midget Dwarf
ReplyDeleteThe arrow on the cover appears to be pointing to the driveway...OF UNHOLY TERROR!
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's pointing out the unholy oil leak from the unholy Lexus.
ReplyDeleteU r a riot!! Keep up good work!!!! Guess the car has to audited, lol
DeleteNobody should use IE, and Chrome is tantamount to letting Google see everything you do.
ReplyDeleteUse Firefox. With AdBlocker and NoScript.
It must be exhausting to spend so much time hating others.
ReplyDelete(Game show host voice) And heeeeeerrreeee's Steppy!

Pretty sure the photographer is the only one talking during a photoshoot (and this is exactly what's the NI's half-naked women story is about).
