We haven’t seem Tom Cruise in months, right? He’s back. I guess Tom figured we needed a little Tom (heh) in our lives and wanted to see if we missed him. I’ve missed him but accept that Tom’s not gonna be a newsmaker again until he’s got a new woman. A lot of people are surprised that Tom hasn’t trotted out Wife #4 yet. Make no mistake — the CO$ powers that be have held meetings on this very issue. After the big Father’s Day rollout was ruined by the gossip blogs (sorry!), the CO$ must have told Tom to give it some time. That’s fine. I can wait.
Do you ever wonder where Tom goes for months at a time? He wrapped filming on Edge of Tomorrow (previously known as All You Need is Kill) months ago. Maybe he was receiving some intensive reprogramming. On Tuesday, Tom stepped out in public to attend a Dodgers game with son Connor. Tom was not well received when the celeb cam found him: “The sight of Cruise on the scoreboard provoked a lusty booing from the crowd.” The crowd was very happy about Bryan Cranston though!
@JesseSanchezMLB @AdamMcCalvy Sure they just weren't saying "Cruuuuuuuuise"? #notheywerenot

Bryan Cranston wildly cheered on scoreboard after Tom Cruise booed earlier. Dodger Stadium has impeccable taste.

Ouch. Did they really play “Wish I was a little bit taller” while zooming in on Tom? Harsh! That must be a joke. It’s funny as hell, but it can’t possibly be true.
Last night, Tom went out to dinner with pals in West Hollywood. His look for the evening was Mr. Motorcycle Man. Is it hard to drive a bike while wearing high heels? These are the things that run through my mind when considering Tom Cruise.
After dinner, Tom got on his little bike and roared into the darkness. He must have felt “the need for speed.”

Look at Conner!!! So grown and handsome!!!
Conner looks more like Tom everyday. He really looks like he’s Tom’s bio son.
He does, doesn’t he? It’s kind of crazy. But his adopted son looks very much like him. I get the sense they are mirrors for each other in personality, too.
He mimics his dad’s facial expressions like all kids do. I don’t think he looks anything like Tom.
There was a pic of the two of them at a hockey game last season where Connor looks so much like his dad I would be willing to bet money he is his biological son.
Fine looking young man, indeed. His Dad’s not bad, either. 😉 I hope he allows his kids the freedom to associate with whom they want, not only Scientologists.
Yes! Let’s totally deflect the fact that the Dodgers crowd booed Cruise at the game! Everyone thinks he’s a Scientologist-controlled nutball!
But – look over there! Connor is so grown up and handsome!
Tom’s star power has diminished substantially because of his ties to Scientology. Used to like him, just can’t get past the cult involvement.
What it took for Scientology members to build that bike is just painful. Months of labor for no pay–just the payment of Muscovich not throwing them in a concrete room for being “Suppressive”.
To go from the number 1 movie star in the world to a national joke must be devastating. Except if you’re Tom? I wonder how he rationalizes this in his Scieno mind.
Crowds hate celebrities who jump on the fan bandwagon when a team finally gets to the playoffs. Cruise never shows up during the regular season, while Bryan Cranston is a regular and people know it.
This. Cranston has been at tons of games all season. Cruise is just a fair weather fan.
I agree…but there is also an icky/crazy vs. awesome factor to consider.
True, true. But when was the last time a celebrity – especially one of his stature – was booed?
“One of his stature”
Hehe
Agree with RobN; also, people in L.A. are fed to the teeth with Scientology, and he is virtually the face of that cult.
Tiny Tom and his sh*t eating holy grin from ear to ear are annoying. I don’t think he goes very deep on his feelings. He should have kept Nicole. She at least was willing to stay with him.
Don’t feel sorry he got booed. He has multi-millions in the bank to comfort him.
@RobN, you won this thread. Best answer.
Look at Tom so short and strange!!!
Rude. Just rude.
+1
Yes, I agree that’s very rude, but I can’t help the sense of schadenfreude.
This is a man who threw his own career in the toilet by openly endorsing a cult that has ruined many people’s lives. He dug his own grave.
So…I know it’s rude, I wouldn’t have done it myself, but I can’t feel sorry for him.
I felt sorry for him for a second. People can’t help being short. But then I remembered him bashing Brooke Shields for trying to shed light on post-partum depression and criticizing her for getting help and taking meds. And…not so much.
I honestly think he was booed for his association with Scientology.
I hope so.
I actually feel sad that he was booed. He’s a human being with feelings too.
So were the slaves that do his luxury labor for free – or they were before their brains were completely cleaned out and threatened.
Two wrongs don’t make a right, gg.
I would argue that he stopped being human and having normal human feelings years ago…
In my book, it’s OK to boo people who do bad things. Headlining a murderous cult is high on my list of bad things.
Stef, I do not think he was actually booed. I think they were yelling “Cruuuuuuuise”. I was referring to the feelings of the slave labor personnel he used.
Also, his criminal organization has this little thing called “Fair Game” but it doesn’t apply to cult members, unless they leave, of course. Look it up.
Gg, I actually know quite a bit about Scientology and its horrors. I’m not a Tom Cruise apologist by any means. I guess I just felt like I would feel horrible if a whole stadium booed at me so I felt a little sad for him, but you’re right that he probably deserved it.
I don’t think it’s great to boo people – I just have no sadness on the matter because I think he’s a very, very bad person and his best friend is an even worse bad person and criminal, Miss Cabbage. Ask Katie Holmes why she had to flee the way she did.
Anybody getting booed by an entire stadium of fans (I’ve looked for a proof video but there are none) must’ve done something pretty bad in the public consciousness if in fact he was “lustily booed”. I like the lyricity of the phrase in itself though.
But since this is in LA, where the phoney Celebrity Centre is located, he may have very well been booed instead of people yelling his name. I’ll never know for sure because there are no videos I can find to determine for myself.
@Stef Leppard…Me too. Its rude.
+1 Stef +1
Yes very. I’ve never understood the whole booing thing. It just seems childish. If a musician showed up hours late for a concert that I get, but this….
Anyways, I know nothing of the Scientology business but is it really that bad? I mean worse than what some other celebs have gotten into
It’s worse than that. It’s a sickening money robbing dangerous cult that breaks up families and kidnaps people, brainwashing them. I wish this were an exaggeration but it’s only the tip of the iceberg. It’s not any religion. They are all about money and control. See: http://www.scientology-cult.com/marty-rathbun.html Written by an ex-member.
They treat their celebrity members completely differently than the others, who they select because they are disenfranchised or less than intelligent, or easy to brainwash in some other way. I knew a person in $cientology and at age 34, he owed over $600,000 to the cult for “courses” and “auditing sessions” – more than he will ever be able to pay back in his life. They teach members how to up their credit limits to give them tens of thousands of dollars, for more “courses”. The guy was a zombie and will never own his own house because he has signed his life away, literally. Other people’s families have been broken up. There is so much. Please educate yourself and share the information. This crime cult needs to stop. They have inside people in police and IRS. Money talks and destroys evidence in court cases, etc. Also see Operation Clambake and Tony Ortega’s writings on the cult.
Their leader, David Misgavige’s own relatives speak out against the cult and against him and his cruelty. He’s a real piece of work.
Educate yourself. Jenna Miscavige Hill (the niece of the leader, David Miscavige) wrote a book called “Beyond Belief: My Secret Life in Scientology and My Harrowing Escape” which is a good place to start. Pulitzer prize winning author Lawrence Wright wrote “Going Crear: Scientology, Hollywood, and The Prison of Belief” which is also excellent. The latter is an excellent overview and the former is a personal memoir of someone who grew up in the scientology child labor force and (among other abuses) was not allowed to see her parents even once a week.
We are not exaggerating. Find out for yourself.
Tony Ortega is also a great resource.
Once there was a time when he was considered cute and normal.
He was smoking hot in Mission Impossible. Then the crazy train pulled in.
Edge of Tomorrow sounds like a melodramatic soap opera title in a skit on SNL.
Damn, you beat me to it!! It sounds like something my mother used to watch in the 1950s while doing her ironing.
Hahahaha!
I’m seriously dating myself here but when I was young (like 10 or 11) there was a soap on TV called “Edge of Night.” It was wackier than the others.
Oh my gawd, I totally remember that one! It was soooo low-rent, I remember that a babysitter would always watch it, and I’d be like, can’t you at least watch a normal soap like General Hospital or One Life to Live?
I loved “the Edge of”, I used to get off the bus and run home to catch the last 10 minutes of it every day. I still remember what got me interested in it, a neighbor woman came over to the house one day all distraught because “Keith just pushed Uncle Charley off the tower!!!” We thought she was talking about some crazy relatives but she was so into the show she thought it was real. It was too funny.
When I was 7, I used to come home from school and watch The Secret Storm and the Edge of Night with my mother. I forgot all about them.
Yes, and then Dark Shadows!!!!!!!!!!!
Carol Burnett used to do a semi-regular skit called “As The Stomach Turns” on her show.
Carol Burnett Show was the SNL of its day. There was nothing else on Saturday night to watch and this was comedy gold. Still is. Love her.
…or the title of a bad Lady Gaga song.
I don’t care for Tom Cruise, but his son was there. Must have sucked for Connor. 🙁
Connor drinks the kool aid. It might do him good to contemplate why people don’t respect his dad.
I hope it pulls the wool from Conner’s eyes. Then, again, he probably thinks it’s a whole stadium of Suppressive Persons trying to undermine his galactic mission of saving the world from Xenu.
This is what I don’t understand about co$ people. They think the rest of us are SP, and yet they will go watch a game of SPs playing, in a stadium of Full of SPS when their cult demands that they shouldn’t deal with anything/anyone SP. How do they reconcile that? Why aren’t they in their own community doing things on their own that remove any SP contamination???
Because Tom Cruise has carte blanche to not SP his daughter and anyone else he chooses, because he’s “special”.
And the mandate is impossible.
Oh, how the mighty have fallen…
I still think that Tom Cruise is a good actor, and part of me is sad for him.
It’s too bad that he’s so heavily involved in Scientology… that “religion” is a such a joke.
I’m sad to hear this.
I had an older cousin who was researching military relations fo the past UK/USA/USSR and he used a Few Good men as one of his go to references. He met Tom and told us there was no nicer human being.
Also all the years Cruise has been in the industry, there’s never been complaints about divadom, difficulty or treating co workers like s-h-i-t.
He’s one of the genuinely nicer stars crossing over from the 810s. He really does not deserve this contempt. IMO
I’m guessing it all has to do with ties to CoS, and reports that have him as the #2 guy in charge, when there are many many allegations of abuse from followers, including some that involve Cruise, himself (not paying people to do work). I can’t say whether they are true or not, but there have been enough, that it’s difficult to ignore. I’d say that the couch jumping didn’t do him any favors either.
I grew up very much enjoying watching TC, but now, I generally avoid seeing his movies in the theaters because I don’t want even a little bit of my money going to Scientology.
I think he’s a good actor, and I wish he would cut his ties with the Co$ and go back to making really interesting movies. He was so good in A Few Good Men, Born on the Fourth of July, Magnolia, Rain Man, etc. However, he’s the one who chose this path and has stuck with it even after it’s become clear that the Co$ is seriously messed up, so I don’t have much sympathy for him.
@Jegede, no nicer human being?! Good try but that’s overselling it more than a bit! It’s words versus actions. Is he very nice and not a diva while working? Sure, I buy it. He’s also proped up a cult that has destroyed lives, separated families, and he himself has profited and been given luxury gifts from unpaid labour (allegedly 🙂 ). A “nice” human being with huge wealth and power would not do this, ever.
IMO, the Cos most likely used and manipulated him. He was their best bet for a well loved mascot. I kind of doubt that he was given any of the ugly details, as they were probably very dependant on his financial contributions and mascot status.
And nice human beings don’t have wives who need to escape from them to save their child from a cult. Nice people also don’t allow others to assist in alienating their children from their mother. There is nothing nice about this soulless monster. I know someone who had to escape her husband and she was lucky because 20 years later he killed his second wife one day before she was planning her escape from him with their child.
I’ve always heard that too – he’s extremely nice. But I think it’s all part of his act, it’s how he thinks he’s supposed to act to coworkers and fans. And his actions with CO$ negate any niceness, I think.
I believe it. I’ve always got the impression that he was awesome to work with.
I feel embarrassed for him, but not sure I can muster up pity because of the Scientology connection. They’ve damaged too many lives. Then again, maybe he is a victim of it in some respects as well.
Yes, so nice that his ex-wife needed burner phones and an actual escape plan to get out of his life.
I grew up liking TC’s movies (Top Gun, anyone??). Now I have zero interest in supporting him with even one cent.
Looking back at it, I’m honestly surprised that there wasn’t more coverage of HOW Katie escaped. I would’ve thought that the women’s groups (any group on rape/abuse) would’ve been all over that.
Because if my friend or sister felt the need to use BURNER PHONES to plan/get a divorce, there’s a problem. And generally that problem is the other person. I think the fact that she used burner phones and the like gets glossed over. Because what would’ve happened to Katie if she had gotten caught?
Oops sorry I made my comment about the wife escaping before I read yours. It is really disturbing how some people ignore the facts and common sense.
Katie’s story seems like it would make a great suspense movie.
Rob Lowe wrote in his autobiography that he wasn’t very pleasant to work with when they were filming The Outsiders. Maybe it’s hindsight, but apparently his “intensity” weirded out the other actors and they steered clear.
He is super-professional and courteous to colleagues and crews, which I suppose does count for a lot.
But his unwavering, blinkered support of Scientology is beyond the pale. It’s his life, of course, but he’s in the upper echelons and doesn’t have to deal with the abuses doled out to rank-and-file members, nor does he appear to care much about them. As more and more unsavory things are uncovered about Scientology, Cruise just smiles and keeps quiet, his silence being tacit approval of the church’s excesses and abuses. That’s the reason he was booed.
I suspect it’s his ties to Scientology that has the crowd booing–his former PR person quit because he wouldn’t stop publicly associating himself with the “religion” as I remember. It has done a lot of PR damage to him. The song about being short was kind of a low-blow.
Okay, I didn’t intend that pun, but I will let it stand.
Actually if I remember correctly, Pat Kingsley, his former PR person who has since retired from the business, was fired by Cruise at the behest of CO$ because she made the mistake of telling him to stop the rhetoric and just stick to career talking points.
This was during the couch jumping, make believe relationship with Katie, Brooke bashing hey day.
He hired his sister to be the PR person and she screwed up pretty royally too. He’s back with a reputable PR firm but I’m not sure who.
I bet he regrets not listening to Pat Kingsley!
Oh, okay, I thought she quit. But I bet she wasn’t sorry to be fired. LOL.
I know I would be upset at getting booed at, but it’s Tom Cruise, he seems to be living in another dimension, nothing fazes him. I doubt it bothered him much, maybe just hurt his ego a little. So I’m going to go ahead and say I think it’s funny. Especially knowing he’s A-Okay with slave labour and the Co$.
P.S. I was thinking awhile ago that it’s pretty telling he hasn’t been seen with Suri in who knows how long, since the months after the divorce?
No pics of Cranston?
I’m thinking he looks rather “refreshed” in these photos. Maybe a little down time in Brazil with his favorite doctor?
That’s exactly what I’m thinking. He looks pretty young in these pics.
WORD.
Yeah, he’s definitely doing (or has done)something. It’s working, though-he looks 10-15 years younger than his actual age. I can’t believe he’s in his early 50’s. I don’t care for him personally but I have to say he looks great.
YES. His plastic surgeon is a magnificent, subtle artist. Shows what can happen when you pay the BIG bucks for sublime work. Sort of makes you wonder why other rich folks (Madonna, Meg Ryan, Mickey Rourke, etc.) didn’t find the same guy before their faces were ruined.
LOL at “lusty booing from the crowd”. Lie down with Zenu, get up with fleas …
He must be used to it by now. After all, he can float and disappear, right? Must make up for all that hate he’s garnered.
“Lie down with Zenu, get up with fleas …”
Ha!
At the end of the day, he is a U.S. citizen and his freedom to practice whatever religion he wants is guaranteed and protected. Is CO$ sketchy and evil? Yes. It’s day will come..I’m so discouraged by the cruelty. It’s everywhere and it’s accepted, encouraged and applauded? We’re in trouble.
Baloney. If you proudly associate yourself with a crime organization, you get what you get. This is not a religion, it’s a tax front for a crime organization. They do not worship, they merely gather private information on individuals, using it against them to continue to rob them of ridiculous amounts of cash and keeping them stuck in their cult for their lives, and teach them to ignore doctors and anybody that will catch them out in their crimes.
Oh, and they kidnap and murder people. So I have no pity. Would you be upset if A. H!tler was booed?
See Item 22 on this comment board for further information and read OPERATION CLAMBAKE and Tony Ortega on the despicable cult $cientology if you’re still this much in the dark about this horrible organization. The administrators should all be in jail.
Too right! While we’re at it, we should discuss the definition of “inurement” and how Tom Cruise should also be in jail…
Also, search the internet for Operation Snow White. It’ll turn your stomach.
I agree he has religious freedom but forever hate him for commenting on women’ health/mental health issues. So even those who don’t care about his religion have valid reasons to hate him.
CRAP. The First Amendment was intended to protect FREEDOM. A so-called religion that uses fear, intimidation and illegal surveillance to keep its congregants in line, is NEITHER religion NOR freedom.
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD…
And, we, also as US citizens, also have the right to make fun of him and dislike him, and that speech is also protected. Why does this have to keep being explained to people??? No one is violating his rights. NOBODY. GMAFB
I wonder if there’s any truth to the claim they were actually saying “Cruise”. I was at Bush stadium once and a player was at bat and it seemed like they were booing him. I was shocked because St Louis fans are very respectful and they rarely boo anyone – especially not their own players. Anyways, the player was JD Drew and they were simply chanting his last name.
I don’t mind if its true because he’s an ass, and I am a lifetime Cardinals fan.
It is possible. I grew up a Mariners fan, and the manager there was, for several years, Lou Piniella, and we fans would always scream Looooooouuuuuuuuuuu when he came out on the field, and it sounded almost exactly the same as booooo.
Same thing with former Philles 3rd baseman Rau Ibanez and current Phillies catcher Chooch…we always extenuate the “u” and “o” and it sounds like we’re booing lol. I hope there were a good amount of cheers for Tom though. I think that’s extremely rude to play that song and boo him.
Same with the Eagles – Duce Staley was “Duuuuuce” which sounds like booing. But that was a common thing. If this happened regularly because Cruise regularly attended, I could see it, but I don’t think that’s the case here.
It is very possible and happens at plenty of ballgames.
So I find this bittersweet. I think back to Risky Business and Top Gun and think what a job CO$ has done on him. I blame his first wife for getting him into that awful cult, Mimi what’s her name(?). Anyway I still like him as an actor because he can be good but that CO$ stuff really turns me off and that goes for all the members.
Mimi Rogers.
The woman who was Tom’s girlfriend while he was just getting involved with Scientology (before he moved to L.A. and entered into an allegedly arranged marriage to Mimi) was on NPR’s The Moth Storytellers last week. I had never heard this story before, but apparently she’s now a writer in Austin, TX (where she and Cruise lived) and she’s talked about her “boyfriend lost to Scientology” before.
http://themoth.org/posts/stories/from-the-archives-of-the-heartbroken-and-spiritually-bereft
That’s what Diana Fowley is up to now? omg.
No its not hard to ride with heels 😉 If I can do it, he can.
I also like him as an actor. And I think the crowd booing is uncalled for, but I wish he would open his eyes to what we all see regarding that so called church.
Ditto
booing is the LEAST that he deserves.
he takes full advantage of slave-labor and is essentially #2 of an insidious, abusive cult that kidnaps people and holds them against their will.
and while I agree that he is super nice and gracious to his fans, he is NO WAY like that to the women who his cult auditions to be his girlfriend/wife, and he was ALLEGEDLY very mean and verbally abusive to Holmes. Which is what an abuser does. puts on a different persona so the public says “I can’t believe he’d ever do THAT!” and is a completely different “dictator” type behind closed doors. sometimes, the only time an abuser is exposed is when something like the “Rihanna incident” goes public.
“At the end of the day, he is a U.S. citizen and his freedom to practice whatever religion he wants is guaranteed and protected.”
agree, but no one saying he CAN’T practice it…and further, if the “religion” you practice is nothing short of a cult, you are going to get sh*t for it. as with “freedom of speech”, where you have the freedom to say whatever you want but you damn well better be prepared for people to react to WHAT you say, you better be prepared for people to criticize the “religion” you practice and the policies/tenets they follow.
Yep. That’s about the size of it.
From Yahoo News yesterday: ” France’s top appeals court has upheld a fraud conviction against the Church of Scientology totaling hundreds of thousands of euros, for taking advantage of vulnerable followers…The original ruling, while stopping short of banning the group from operating in France, dealt a serious blow to the secretive movement best known for its Hollywood followers, such as John Travolta and Tom Cruise.”
So, hooray for France which doesn’t even recognize CoS as a religion, but as a business!
Slowly but surely, other countries are fighting back. FINALLY! Boo to the insiders working at police departments and the IRS, taking kickbacks for illegally covering up the truth about these conmen.
Unless something has changed, Germany does not consider CO$ a relgion either.
Recently Amsterdam’s been going back and forth on it. Lost on appeal today though re having tax status granted.
Dislike this trained CO$ monkey from the bottom of my heart… But when we resort to making jokes about his height, how is that different from someone calling Melissa McCarthy untalented and oh by the way she’s fat and gross? He’s lame and pathetic and sad not because he’s short, but because he’s lame and pathetic and sad.
Yeah, the jokes on height were d-ck-ish. His stature wasn’t by choice.
I agree about the height thing. I know it’s not he same for women, but back in grade school, I always got picked on for it. (Only ended up 5’1). But otherwise? He gets what he gets. Not that *I* would’ve booed him, especially not when his son was there.
his REAL stature wasn’t by choice but he and execs sold the public on his fake height. now every one knows and are calling him out.
hag,
I dunno, imagine if it were a flat chested actress who wore padded bras for years, then was “found out” and got ridiculed for it… is this really much different? I think the short jokes are needlessly cruel tbh, but oh well.
I agree. I am not down with making fun of people’s stature or looks or anything they were born with.
Just their hairstyles and horrible clothing choices! 😛
Yeah, the height jokes are totally uncalled for (if it happened.) I wouldn’t have booed, either, but I can’t say I don’t understand the sentiments.
The shocking part is that the song was played over the Dodger’s PA system. Either somebody high up in the organization made that call, or somebody has lost their job.
Wow, really? They cheer for practically everyone! I guess people are as sick of seeing Scientologists take over every classic old building in L.A. for their nefarious purposes as I am, not to mention the of squads of leaflet-pushing L.Ron-bots offering “free personality testing!” to unsuspecting tourists and naive young people.
The mouse and the motorcycle. :p (loved that book as a kid!)
Cruise’s career is a perfect example of why people who are famous for acting should keep their mouths shut about their personal opinions and personal lives.
He has had a great career. He’s a crazy person, most actors are, but for the public to turn on him to the point of booing his image on a jumbo screen?!…that’s because he shared how crazy he was with the World. His films aren’t spectacular these days, but they’re not bad, he’s still got it in a way, but every time you see him now, all you think of is the personal stuff, not his body of work (In my opinion).
I don’t understand why an actresses opinion on anything outside of fashion or makeup or their own industry should be discussed. Just because they’re famous, doesn’t mean their opinion is valid. (Though I guess it depends on if you’re talking about Scarlet Johanson or Amy Poehler, they choose their words very differently in interviews I think)
I think it takes away from their careers if they share too much. I don’t want to know what actresses look like walking around LA, or what their family life is like. I want to see them as their characters and I want to believe they are their characters, not just an actress acting as a character…
I don’t care about how you raise your kids or what religion you practice, just shut the fuck up, start saying ‘no’ to personal questions and let your talent speak and carry you.
I know that’s not how the industry works anymore, but I think it’s a shame.
@Missmerry – I completely agree w/you, Re: Actors/Actresses now being expected to share every aspect of their personal lives, & it now being a ‘must’ for the world to know ‘everything’ about them as people.
I think it not only takes away from the craft itself, but makes it even harder for them to convincingly portray characters, & avoid letting themselves be too obvious (since now, people know what to watch for) & slip through.
Plus it annoys the hell out of me that it’s created an extremely potent arrogance, where all actors/actresses think that their opinions on completely unrelated topics (like politics) are somehow more important than everyone else’s. In that regard, they’re no different than the average person.
I think in the effort to “get closer to their fans”, they over indulge in social media. They then get no sympathy when they complain they have no privacy.
Scientology has killed Cruise. He could be on top of the world but instead people think he’s a nut.
Connor is gorgeous!
Think? He IS a nut. And worse.
True enough.
I’m in a very odd position when it comes to Tom Cruise because i like his movies and i think he is a fine actor (not the best, but still pretty good) but then there’s the whole Co$ thing going on so it’s like, ugh………
I’d have booed as well
Actually, the song is called “I Wish” by Skee-lo (not to be confused with Cee Lo Green).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryDOy3AosBw
While this item made me laugh out loud, the comments from Celebitchy’s awesome readers make me very happy.
I applaud CB, Bedhead and Kaiser for continuing to feature stories relating to the CO$.
Educating people to the dangers of this insidious cult is THE best form of defense.
THANK YOU!!!
+1! No fear, eh Gals? I truly admire it, & have to wonder if you’ve ever received threatenting messages/emails/legal nonsense.
Tom Cruise publicly criticized Brooke Shields both personally and professionally, because Brooke needed medication for her postpartum depression. It was none of his business, he didn’t know what the hell he was talking about, and it was unprofessional. In my book, if CRUISE thinks he has a right to act like that, then EVERYONE ELSE has a right to criticize Cruise in whatever way they want to, as well. He deserves to be treated the same way he treated others.
so sad he got booed 🙁
When a man is sitting with his son, I think it’s rude to boo him or make fun of his height. That’s his dad that he lives. He’s fair game otherwise.
That was my only issue w/it. But to be fair, they may not have realized that it was his son. (Those who don’t really keep up w/Tom’s personal life may not realize that he has an adopted son, or that said son would be an adult). I wouldn’t have booed, personally, but I do understand why people would want to take shots at him, as public as he is about $cientology.
I’m not a fan of Cruise, but I think it is incredibly shitty to boo him when he has his son next to him.
I think it is quite telling that Cruise was spontaneously booed. Especially in Los Angeles.
And of course it is because of his association with the Church of Scientology. This man is not just a “member” of this so-called “church”, he is a mind controlled, brainwashed puppet of it. He is their “chief” celebrity. And he is a prime recruiter for it.
Does he know of the corruption, the dishonesty, the physical, mental, emotional and financial abuse that takes place within the Cof$? Put it this way, I don’t think he WANTS to know. So I guess he makes sure he “doesn’t know”.
At this point Tom Cruise is an aging movie star -and yes, obviously he’s had “work” – with three failed marriages whose is stuck inside an insane cult. Perhaps he’s genuinely wondering why he was booed.
Nobody else is.
I love crazy Cruise!
Tom Cruise deserves more than boos. He should be arrested along with Mr. Miscarriage for Kidnapping, Robbery, Murder, etc.
The CULT of Scientology is a very very dangerous organization. They split families apart, they abuse children, they fleece clients of all their money.
The curtain is finally coming down on this Cult.
There are so many sites now but the one with the most info, if you are interested, is Tony Ortegas blog., The Underground Bunker.
Tom Cruise sees what he wants and disregards the rest.
Really, amercicans? I mean, boo him at movie premieres, don’t.give him a dime of attention…
But to boo him when he’s with his son…not cool. Just rude.
I’m positive Connor is his biological son.
Also, I know it’s easy to pick on Tom for being short, but that seems like unnecessary bullying to me. So what if he’s short? Who fucking cares? Lots of men are short. Since when is it ok to tear someone down for something like that? I realize he makes himself an easy target, but there’s so, so much to pick on him for without picking on something he has no control over. I think he’s a total creep, personally, but the fact that he’s short is no more of use to me than the fact that he has brown eyes. Who cares?? We don’t mercilessly degrade and pick on women who are too tall, ya know? And before anyone says, “Well, he tries to be taller and wears LIFTS!” Well, so what?? Of course he wants to seem taller since he has to fit into leading man requirements…and I doubt he wears lifts all the time or even at all either. Every time people yell “lifts!! lifts!!” I look at his shoes like crazy and they look like ordinary shoes worn by every other guy to me.
Now that I’ve defended Scientology-cult-whack job creep-o I need a shower or something.
Gah, celebitches! 😉
Sorry. Love T. Cruise. Not a fan of Scientology, but I’ll take a slice of Tom Cruise any day!!
The Tom Cruise hating is getting old, and it’s just one more tiresome example of how crowds – in this case, the online internet crowd – almost always devolve into lynch mobs, people uniting in their hate and patting each other on the backs for being sheep. I’ve no doubt that Scientologists are a bunch of kooks, but I also believe that all other religions are too, with the possible exception of the more secular Buddhists. The Scientologists just haven’t been around as long as the others, and in the end that’s the only thing that really differentiates an established religion from a cult, time and popularity. Let’s not forget that Christianity itself was considered by most of the civilized world as a crazy cult in its early days.And I think it’s ridiculous for people to be so spiteful towards Cruise because of all the “terrible” things Scientology has done to many of their members. Because, again, every other religion out there has done equally terrible things and continue to do so – so if you belong to one of those and you’re up on your high-horse about the Scientologists, you’re a hypocrite. And the early Christians were encouraged to make themselves separate from the world, even disowning family who were considered “apostates,” etc. Sound familiar? Many Christian denominations today still follow such practices. You people really need to come back down to earth.
