    Thank God! This man is a lunatic who's antics were most likely performed for "attention"...He USE to be hot, but his persona stinks and this is what makes him not bankable any longer- thank god hollywood is noticing!

      Didn't Mission Impossible: III more or less bomb compared to the expectations they had for the movie?

      I think people are just sick of Mr. Cruise.

          Boo-hoo! Poor little Tommy. I'm sure he'll survive which is more than what I can say for his acting career. It's only a matter of time before he becomes a C-list celebrity.....kinda like his baby momma.

              It isn't just the disappointing box office for "Mission Impossible-3" that got Cruise knocked down a peg. It's the fact that his image has taken a beating this past year. Nobody wantd to pay current box office prices to see a head case. The man is a lunatic of the most bizarre kind. I'm still wondering who's the real father of the baby.

                  It's about time they started getting after the *so-called* stars, I guess they forgot what it was like before stardom. It's Cruises fault MI 3 bombed with him jumping around like a crazed lunatic, and that cult he belongs to. Personally I could care less if he ever appears again. Katie needs to get to a deprogrammer fast!

                  Tweety; it's not just you he is for sure an annoying twit

                    I'd have to agree wit Scott, I know I'm getting sick of Tom Cruise. He could use a reality check.

                      i don't know who thinks him good looking! It is about time that Hollywood kick him out. I can't say that i saw a single movie of his which i can say he actually acted. Honestly i don't think he can act at all....

                        If he would stop being such a freak of nature people would still want to see his movies, but as Michael Jackson demonstrated over the years is that Americans do not like freaks of nature. Especially overpaid ones.

                            I think Tom is going thru some kind of mid life crisis. According to his Scientology beliefs he shouldn't be acting the way he is, he should be more self controlled and more humble. At any rate he is acting like a nut who needs to be on prozac!! But really he just started acting this way when he started his affair with Katie, no fool like an old fool after some young stuff, especailly if he gets it.

                                I don't think I have paid to see Tom Cruise in a long time. Not because he's an idiot or because of his antics. It's just that he can't really act. Instead of Tom taking on the charcter, it's more like Tom just being Tom. For the most part, He's just a shallow actor. You may have a different opinion. That is just mine.

                                  Darn, just when I thought I might be able to get through the cashier at the grocery store without seeing this idiot's face splashed all over the 'impulse purchase' racks. Now it'll be at least another six months. Why doesn't he just run off with Britney Spears and Oprah Winfrey and be done with it!

                                    Who cares about that arrogant fool? I sure don't. When he bashed Brooke Shields for taking meds for post-partum depression I couldn't believe it. He had no right whatsoever to judge her. What a complete moron he is. I don't care how much of a decrease in salary he takes I for one will never watch another overrated Tom movie.

                                      Haven't seen one of his movies since Tp Gun. Guy's an idiot. He's an overpaid, nutso, and I hope Kate gets rid of him. Baby is hers so far-

                                        Before they become 'stars', shouldn't people know how to act? Today's 'stars' will never EVER be as great as the real ones who, sadly, have almost all died off.

                                          "Leaving the studios impoverished". Okay if being a stuio exec. and having several mansions in different countries, a wife, mistress, beamer, limo service and a maid(s) is impoverished then lets all move to that ghetto.

                                                  Yup he is in a need for a dose of reality!! He doesn't even live on this planet anymore. That south park episode was perfect!! He should be made to watch that several hundred times. Finally the big wigs are noticing he's not all that and a bag of chips!

                                                    Sorry Tom. You're human like everyone else and receive paycuts like everyone else. Maybe you should think about having a much more private life, like a lot of other classier celebrities who like to have private lives like normal people. I for one think that religion should be kept to oneself unless they are talking to someone with similar beliefs. Never try to force your religion on others. It will get you into trouble no matter who you pray to.
