Laura Prepon is promoting her second season on Netflix’s Orange is the New Black. She plays a lesbian drug dealer on the show, and she’s also confronting rumors that she and Tom Cruise are a new (and gross) thing. Last November, rumors started brewing that Tom was “on cloud nine” after “a hot date” with Laura. Everyone laughed off the story until last week. Page Six said Laura and Tom were secretly dating for real this time.
I joked that Tom would eventually make Laura quit her OITNB role because of the lesbian stigma. Page Six followed up with another story that Tom wanted Laura to leave the role: “With all [Cruise’s] baggage, it doesn’t help his image to be dating a woman who plays a lesbian. He doesn’t want kinky, he wants wholesome.”
The Mail crushed everyone’s heart with a statement from Tom, who said he’d never even met Laura! I find it hard to believe that they’ve never hung at a CO$ function together. Laura did an interview with SheKnows where she denied dating Tom. Laura spent much of that discussion cheerleading for Scientology.
Laura also talked with The Daily Beast, which produced a much better interview. She calls Tom “so hot.” Did you vom? I did a little bit:
Is she back on v? “Basically, I wasn’t a series regular and wasn’t under contract, and then had a scheduling conflict that came up during Season 2. But I love the show and I love my character, and I told Jenji from the get-go, ‘I want to be in as many as I can.’ So we did, and I’ll be in four episodes for Season 2. And then if we get a Season 3, I’ll be in every episode. I totally missed the show. It sucks, but there’s only one of me, and there’s only so much time in the day. We did what we could, and if there’s a Season 3, I worked it out so that wouldn’t be an issue anymore.”
Is she dating Tom Cruise? “Oh god… I knew this would come up! Dude, I have no idea. I really don’t know. I totally respect him and think he’s an amazing actor, but I’m not dating him. I don’t know what else to say. It’s crazy. It just goes to show: Don’t believe everything you read. I have no idea where it came from. I don’t know how we ended up ‘together.’ I’m flattered because I think he’s so hot so I’m like, ‘Oh, that’s nice,’ and apparently he’s very gentlemanly with me. Apparently we get along great and he knows that I have a favorite bottle of wine that I didn’t even know I had. So, apparently he’s on cloud nine…”
On the cast of That ’70s Show: “Of course the gang hangs out! We’re all like family. I don’t really comment on [Mila & Ashton’s] dating lives, but I will say that I’m glad they’re together and they’re a really great couple.”
On grabbing the Alex role: “Yeah. Basically, I read the pilot and I absolutely loved it, and I knew I wasn’t right for Piper but it was such an amazing show that I felt I needed to be a part of it. I wasn’t even thinking about the role of Alex. I went in to read for Piper and Jenji said, ‘I can’t get you out of my head for Alex,’ and then it worked out because Alex is such a badass. I love her. She’s this awesome badass but she’s also really vulnerable, and you see these other sides to her with her relationship with Piper. She’s also a survivor and will do whatever it takes to survive, as well as power-hungry. She’s very complex and a straight-shooter, which is rad.”

Ugh, Laura is only going to be in four episodes of the second season of OITNB? That somehow makes me look less forward to the upcoming episodes. There will probably be a third season, but that seems so far away.
Anyway …. I gather from this conversation that Laura denies dating Tom, but she’s definitely open to some hot Xenu lovin’ from him. Tom, call her. Don’t suck another outsider into your crazy cult.

I think I just vomited in my mouth a bit..
Ugh, me too. He makes Johnny Depp look sexy.
ha, that is a tall order
Ha! I see what you did there, Blue Marie!
She’s fantastic on the show. I’m glad she’s in season 2 still and will back full time for season 3. I completely believe she wants Tom as she is a die hard hardcore Scientologist by all accounts….Page Six, possibly matchmaking two believers in Xenu who have never met.
Tom looks like such a wee, little, pocket-sized boy in that picture. He’s precious.
My thoughts exactly. Still I’d take him over Travolta and his wiglets any day.
Tom Thumb.
Tombellina
Put a paperclip on the back of him and you could hang him from a Christmas tree! 🙂
He looks like an aging Hollywooder increasingly covering his face with (false) hair in a vain attempt to look “boyish”. Transparent.
He would be incredibly fortunate to get anybody good to date him at this point, even a $cilon.
But Tom has dated insiders before, no? And they all leave because Tom is so crazy controlling.
IF he and Prepon become a couple and seperate. Prepon will leave and it will be terrible PR for the cult that all who date Tom flee from not only him, but the cult.
So, I say Tom should date the whole flock.
Since he’s supposedly #2 in CoS, I think they all have to say he’s hot, even if they lie through their teeth.
Exactly. Classic cult.
Yes. I believe they have to chant it whenever he’s in the building.
@mia girl- You must chant “he’s taller than he looks” along with “he’s so hot”. I hope this girl has her burn phones and fake identity ready now.
@kri Your comment is making me LOL so much
@mia girl
HAHAHAHA perfect
Well… she worships Xenu like he does… and she’s taller than him… they should just make it a love match and be done with it.
I remember being so disappointed when I read she was Co$…I really thought she was smarter than that. Hate her with her hair so dark…she’ll always be a redhead to me.
As for her and Tom getting together… ewwww. Can’t see it although I don’t know why they don’t just find some pretty Scientologist who is a nobody and would be flattered to be with Tom. Someone who would do whatever he says and could control completely. Why does it have to be an actress? Strange.
uh oh…they will now be dating in 3-2-1…
This is the prelude.
yup, he’ll audition her like he did Katie Holmes after he heard that Holmes said in an interview about how she crushed on him while a teenager. or that she grew up thinking she’d “marry Tom Cruise”?…or something like that.
I noticed that her comment on dating Tom was a VERY close description of all of the tab stories about that…I guess Prepon reads the tab stories about herself.
OMG, he’s totally going to try to hit that now. Gross. And I love his stance in that picture – encapsulates his personality perfectly.
He will have to stand on a stepladder to “hit” it. I think he would only come up to her butt crack. Hmmmmmm.
Dead at this comment tbh 😂 this site is killing me tonight
Vom? Try spew. Ugh. I usually say I am open to all combos of men but I can’t do under 5’10. I just can’t. Especially one that looks like a neurotic Troll doll and believes alien ghosts in your colon is why you’re sad.
Good one. Sorry, the smarmy, lift-wearing, ferret-faced midget is about as sexy as cold margarine. Ugh. And his referring to Scientology as “religious doctrine” is so effing hilarious that there are no words. No. Words.
Although I like really tall guys (because I’m a shortie), I honestly don’t care how tall they are, as long as they are taller than me–I’m not even 5′ 3″, so that shouldn’t be an issue.
But yes, I am one of those short girls who wants to get it on with a Viking….or rather, the Viking.
How is that different from a guy who just “can’t” date women over 120 pounds, or over 30? Sounds rude to me.
Agree, skeksis. Not all short guys have short man syndrome. I know a bunch of guys who aren’t that tall and are still total catches! My mum’s an inch taller than my dad and no one cares.
Saying you won’t date guys under 5’10 is like saying you won’t date women bigger than size 8, or a guy saying he won’t date a woman taller than 5’6. You’re potentially missing some amazing people.
Her comments about him sound sort of rambling and off kilter, like maybe she’s protesting too much? I don’t know what to think. If they’re not dating now I’m thinking there may be a date on the horizon.
Her feet look really sore in that first picture. Does she have bunions?
I don’t see any bunions, but pale skinned people generally have pinkish feet.
He looks about 4 feet tall in that photo.
I haven’t see Orange yet, so maybe that might change my mind on her, but I’ve always found her kind of grating and off putting in the few things I’ve seen her in.
Blatant, lying a$$holes are not sexy OR hot.
For a moment I thought I was still in the Lindsay post… lol
She is great in OITNB and I would agree I look less forward to season 2 because she is only in 4 episodes. I am not sure what it is, it might just be because she has a good storyline about how her past intertwines with Piper’s, plus she is bad-ass and you always look forward to her scenes.
It is just a great cast overall, so excited for season 2. I might watch Season 1 again in preperation…
She has beautiful eyes, and I can’t wait for Season 2 of OITNB.
Tom Cruise hot?? Sure when I was 13 and didn’t know any better, now well ,he is just pathetic and gross. Plus any guy that must wear man heels is way to insecure for me. Women in heels hot and sexy, men in heels eewww. The last movie I ever watched with him in it was Top Gun and it wasn’t for him it was for Val Kilmer, oh how times have changed.
Do you think women with small breasts are pathetically insecure if they wear bras with a bit of extra padding? Just curious, cause to me that’s no different from short men wearing lifts.
It’s interesting, because Robert Downey Jr wears lifts sometimes too, and he doesn’t get grief.
Oh my,only after reading this did i now realise she is the girl from That 70’s Show.
Using the words ‘he’s so hot’ to describe Tom Cruise means she’s definitely interested in bearding.
I guess it’s a part of $cieno programming to think that TC is ‘hot’ now. Yes, very vom, projectile vom.
I think she’s hot, but her taste, mamma mia.
Because I think of her as Donna Pinciotti, who reminds me of my cousin, I doubt I could ever hate her, but becoming Mrs. Tom Cruise… I think Midge would be a better fit. Hello Wisconsin.
I would think at this point, admitting something like that would be a career killer…. like she had a career anyway. one tv show, right?….
Maybe you’re supposed to say that being a member of CO$……….. don’t know.
So lesbians can’t be wholesome? What if they knit and bake cookies all the time? Tom Cruise shouldn’t really talk anyway, this whole sham girlfriend/wife thing he’s been doing forever is obviously a cover for something *coughcough*
“apparently”
No apparently. She is clearly banging The Hobbit.
In cult-world, they’re probably already tied in a Xenu-marriage and will be having his direct decendants through immaculate conception
“New and gross”. That shit had me laughing
so hard….
