This is the latest quote from Tom Cruise about his religion:
"Some people, well, if they don't like Scientology, well then, f**k you. Really. F**k you."
It's genius, no?

I sing for myself. I sing when I want, whenever I want to, just for me. I sing for my own pleasure. Do you understand that?

Posted: 9/14/04 at 11:58amChristianity isn't anything like as maligned though. I wonder what the higher powers at Scientology Central make of his comment.

Christianity also isn't any more plausible.
But I'm imagining that's another thread entirely

Posted: 9/14/04 at 12:43pmThis thread reminds me of when Mr. Cruise appeared on Ellen. What a total and complete lack of brainpower. I felt like she was working overtime to compensate for his inability to speak and therefore entertain.

Posted: 9/14/04 at 12:54pmI wouldn't keep him around for his brains. I'll seek out conversations elsewhere!

Posted: 9/14/04 at 1:20pmYes, intellectual stimulation isn't the first thing that comes to mind when I think Tom Cruise.

Posted: 9/14/04 at 5:19pmNow Tom...is that really the language of someone who's "clear"?
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Cruise is the master of saying nothing at all except, "Don't I have nice teeth?" every time he gets interviewed. Even Jon Stewart couldn't get him to say something interesting, and he's a pretty good interviewer. (Stewart, not Cruise.)
As for the Scientology thing- whatever. I don't really care. But that Christianity crack wasn't really called for. Every faith has its share of narrow-minded idiots; it doesn't reflect on the faith itself, or on faith in general.

Posted: 9/16/04 at 2:19amThen again he is dyslexic isn't he? I don't think Nicole married him for his witty repartee. Still it was a good career move at the time, a better one was divorcing him.
#22re: Tom Cruise & Scientology
Posted: 9/16/04 at 3:12amActually, he was the one who broke it off with her. Which goes to show what a brainless fool he is. I like men, and even I wouldn't divorce Nicole Kidman.....even if she is an ice queen.

#23re: Tom Cruise & Scientology
Posted: 9/16/04 at 11:02amI have always thought that his and Nicole's marriage was one of convenience. both gay. and I'm gonna stick with that.
"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!"

Posted: 9/16/04 at 11:04amDepending on who you believe, he's gay, she's gay, they're both gay, they're both straight and love each other, the baby she lost while they were divorcing was Tom's, it was Ewan McGregor's, it was Robbie Williams', and so on and so forth.

Posted: 9/16/04 at 11:26amHere's the deal. Nicole got pregnant by someone else (most likely Ewan McGregor when they were filming Moulin Rouge) and Tom, knowing it wasn't his baby becasue he's not able to produce enough sperm to get any woman pregnant (that's why they have two adopted kids), went ballistic! He couldn't deal with it and could never forgive Nicole for her infidelity. Then, Nicole had an abortion, but claimed that she had lost the baby. A few days later, Tom and Nicole announced their breakup. Don't you think it a little odd that Tom would leave Nicole so soon after a miscarriage? No, she aborted the baby, which was also not in line with Tom's religious beliefs. Infidelity! Betrayal! Abortion! At long last... one of Hollywood's dirtiest little secrets finally revealed!
