Hurricane Wilma damages Cancun hotel, alters the Cruiser's wedding plans. An angry God apparently in a "smiting mood"


"I smite thee, Cruiser!"
From Miami Herald : "Movie star Tom Cruise's plans to wed girlfriend Katie Holmes at a luxury hotel in Cancun have been frustrated by the devastating passage of Hurricane Wilma over the resort. Officials of the Ritz Carlton, where Cruise and Holmes were planning to celebrate their marriage sometime next month, said the hotel and the rest of the city's infrastructure were so damaged by the killer storm that the couple will have to find another spot for their reception."

The Cruiser reportedly converting the Beckhams to Scientology. Thank you God.


Posh Spice shown here after spraining her neck while trying to read. Pictured with some guy.
From Contact Music: "Former SPICE GIRL VICTORIA BECKHAM has fuelled reports she and husband DAVID BECKHAM are converting to Scientology, after she was spotted reading a book from the controversial religion. The Beckhams struck up an unusual friendship with superstar Scientologist TOM CRUISE last year (04), leading to newspaper reports at the time the MINORITY REPORT heart-throb was grooming them as converts. During her trip to Los Angeles last week, Victoria was photographed leafing through ASSISTS FOR ILLNESSES AND INJURIES, based on the works of Scientology founder L RON HUBBARD. Victoria also watched a fashion show with Cruise's pregnant fiancee KATIE HOLMES during her trip. The BATMAN BEGINS actress, who converted to Scientology after she began dating Cruise earlier this year (APR05), recommended the book after hearing of the Beckhams' second son ROMEO's recent health problems."

While not necessarily agreeing with their liberal use of capital letters, this story is great. We're not sure which piece of news is more unbelievable: Katie Holmes (the CSCV) giving medical advice or Posh Spice reading a book.

Scientology handlers add "thrilled" to officially sanctioned talking points, "Things Katie Can Say". The Cruiser Spawn Carrying Vehicle (the CSCV) to Access Hollywood today: "I'm thrilled"

"I'm thrilled, excited, beaming, amazing, dream come true, so happy, thrilled, and excited. Excited. Did I say that one already?"

The CSCV to Maria Menounos on Access Hollywood Full story:

Katie Holmes: We’re so excited.
Maria Menounos: Tell me like what it’s like: You’re pregnant [and] you are marrying the man you’ve always dreamed of.
Holmes: I know.
Menounos: It’s such a story book.
Holmes: It’s amazing. I’m so happy, it’s a dream come true. I feel great. I’m beaming and … I’m so excited. […]
Menounos: Have you guys started putting wedding plans together yet?
Holmes: We are. We don’t have a date just yet, but there is so much excitement going on. It’s just amazing.
Menounos: It’s your first wedding. I can imagine it’s going to be the biggest wedding ever.
Holmes: It’s exciting. We don’t know yet but we are thrilled.
Menounos: What’s Tom saying?
Holmes: He’s thrilled

If you're keeping score with your own home version of "Things Katie Can Say", that's Excited - 4, Thrilled - 2, Amazing - 2, and Beaming, So Happy, Feel Great, and Dream Come True all tied at 1. Better luck next time, Beaming...

Katie Holmes "Pregnant"! Tom Apparently "Father"! Baby May or May Not Be "Human"!

Isn't this is how those space alien invasion movies always start? Young woman has sudden and complete change of personality, separates herself from family, surrounds herself with strange cult members, and becomes mysteriously pregnant? (not that were implying anything, Cruiser. You're all man, we're sure) Or this could also be one of those "spawn of Satan" movies... well, either way, we're pretty sure we're all screwed. If you need us, we'll be in the fallout shelter, rethinking some of our earlier religious musings ...

The Cruiser to buy $1.5 million house in Toledo for the Cruiser Spawn Carrying Vehicle (the CSCV). Plans to never visit again.


"You're going to be very happy here... Kate? Right? It's Kate or Katie, right? I've got to start writing that on my hand or something"
From spotlightingnews "Hollywood hunk Tom Cruise plans to buy a $1.5 million (€1,2m) house in his fiancée Katie Holmes' hometown of Toledo, Ohio. The house is a nine-bedroom mansion owned by Dale Brulh. "The neighbours saw limousines in front of the house when (real estate agents) were showing it. I'm sure it's them. Her mother lives in the area," Dale revealed."

First, we doubt there really are any $1.5 million houses in Toledo. Talk about price gouging. And wouldn't this be a convenient place to stash some things you don't really want to have around unless you need them for photo-ops? Like, say, a wife and "child"? Just a "for instance"...

The Cruiser to design wedding dress. Unclear whether he will wear it too.


"Remember, the contract says I get to keep the dress too. And I want to eat your ear."
From spotlightingnews "Actor Tom Cruise, who is rumored to marry next month with his lover, actress Katie Holmes, wants a free wedding dress designed by Giorgio Armani. A friend told Britain's The Sun newspaper, "Tom asked Giorgio to design the dress especially and he has had Katie in for several fittings. It's unusual for the groom to have a say in the dress but he has had a lot of input. It seems Tom has a very clear idea of what he wants for the ceremony".

Yes, we're sure he has a very clear idea of what he wants. We're guessing a lovely new dress, romantic music, a full moon over a tropical beach, and a taut, young, buttery-smooth Mexican pool boy named Juan with a box of lubricated Tic Tacs. Viva la Mexico!

The Cruiser and Cruiser Spawn Carrying Vehicle (the CSCV) to wed in Cancun in November. We eagerly await our invitation.


"Welcome to Mexico, Senor Cruise. Please drink the water. Lots and lots of water."
From inthenews.co.uk "While Katie is not said to be overjoyed about walking down the aisle with her bump on show, the biggest problem about the new plans is the logistics surrounding the moving of the wedding and Cruise's desire to book out an entire hotel. The source added: "Tom is insisting on having the entire hotel for the weekend. He's not taking any chances and wants their day to be ultra-private. But a hotel like the Ritz-Carlton fills up months in advance and trying to sort out changing people's reservations is a logistical nightmare."

Yes, ruining other people's vacations so you can have a sham marriage with a "Scientology Ceremony" in your own private resort. What a nightmare indeed. Frankly, the Katrina survivors should start sending the Cruiser donations.

Future 'Kate Cruise' visibly pregnant, pulls out of movie. Family denies in-vitro fertilization rumors. Father cries self to sleep every night


"Honey, get the REALLY BIG shotgun! Fuck it, just give me the carving knife"
From Yahoo "The actress has pulled out of the Dennis Quaid drama Shame On You in order to focus on her pregnancy, People magazine reports... With Cruise and Holmes upping their public profile in recent days, tabloids have been all abuzz over the former Dawson's Creek star's very visible bump, prompting speculation into exactly how long she has been in the family way. (She's not saying.) [wink, wink] In terms of just how Holmes got to be in the family way, her aunt has denied rumors that the actress conceived via in vitro fertilization. [WINK, WINK] "I can assure you they did it the old fashioned way," Carol Zydorczyk said in a recent magazine interview [how the hell does she know? now there is an online sex tape that would really sell].... Meanwhile, back home in Ohio, Holmes' father, Martin, is reportedly extremely displeased that his daughter is pregnant without the benefit of first swapping vows, according to Life & Style magazine. The magazine reports that the strict Catholic scolded the actress upon learning of her pregnancy, before telling Cruise, "You're no good!"

Oh yeah, there is NOTHING suspicious about this pregnancy at all... Screw this, we're sticking with the alien/Satan impregnation theory. And a big shout out to our newest fan club member, Mr. Martin Holmes! You tell'em, Marty! Thanksgiving dinner just keeps getting better and better...

Katie urged to have "silent birth". Cruiser urged to have "silent life". Please.


"Honey, get my shotgun"
From RTE.ie. "It is reported that Katie Holmes is being urged to have a 'silent birth' when she has Tom Cruise's baby. When the 27-year-old actress is wheeled into the delivery room, she will be under instructions not to cry or scream out, no matter how painful her labour. The 'Dawson's Creek' star has reportedly agreed to convert from Catholicism to her fiancé's Church of Scientology, which insists on 'silent births' to avoid traumatising newborn babies. Scientologists also believe in giving youngsters lie-detector tests, asking them to spy on their classmates and cutting themselves off from family members if they are non-believers."

Thanksgiving is going to be just great with Katie's family this year... "Hey 'Dad', could you pass the stuffing? Oh, and, just as an FYI, I'm making your daughter's child cut you out of its life forever. Boy, these sweet potatos are great!"

Tony Danza slams the Cruiser for having child out of wedlock. Editors shocked Danza knows the word "wedlock".


Peek-a-boo! I see Tony!
From Vancouver 24 hrs. "Danza is bemused by Cruise's behaviour and believes his recent attack on Brooke Shields' decision to take medication for her postpartum depression was hypocritical considering Cruise is now living his own life with questionable morality. The talk show host says, "I'm a little upset about this. Here's a guy out there lecturing people about drugs, but out-of-wedlock births don't seem to bother him. "He's never (appearing on) my show, so it doesn't matter." He adds, "I'm happy for them, but we're going to send them to Maury (Povich's show) for a DNA test."

Wow. Tony Danza. The most amazing thing about this news is that Tony Danza has a talk show. When did that happen?!? That's a whole other website right there...

Rumors abound - Katie getting cold feet on marriage to the Cruiser.


From MSN UK "Reports are hitting the American tabloids that Ms. Holmes is having second thoughts about the wedding, despite the fact that they continue to say they are the happiest couple on the planet. According to sources who dished the dirt to Star magazine, the problem may be the marriage ceremony itself, with Katie keen for a regular church do, while the twice-married Cruise prefers the idea of something a little smaller. Similarly, although Katie has said she is interested in Scientology, she was raised as a Catholic by her religious parents and she is said to be keen to go down that route with the vows. Cruise, despite being raised Catholic, is now a firm Scientologist and wants to get hitched somewhere a little more friendly to his beliefs. " Full story

In unrelated news, the Scientology brainwashing machine is reported to be on the fritz. Efforts to get it fix have so far failed as nobody can find the Sears' "Lifetime Warranty".

The Cruiser gives rise to new term: "Jumping the couch"


From Headline News: "Tom Cruise's couch hopping antics on the "Oprah Winfrey" show have affected modern language and spawned a new buzz term. "Jumping the couch" has now become a much-used phrase. The definition of the term, as per web site UrbanDictionary.com, is "The defining moment when you know someone has gone off the deep end." A sample usage: "My new girlfriend Lissette jumped the couch and started breaking the windows of my car and threatening my dog." Link

Mimi Rogers says the Cruiser wanted to be a celibate monk


From FemaleFirst: "Actress Mimi Rogers split from her ex-husband Tom Cruise because he refused to have sex and wanted to become a monk. Rogers, who was the actor's first wife in the 1980s before he married and subsequently divorced Nicole Kidman, ended up getting a divorce from Cruise in 1990 when his desire to make love became non-existent. She says, "He was seriously thinking of becoming a monk. He thought he had to be celibate to maintain the purity of his instrument, but my instrument needed tuning, and we had to split." Full Story

This story just keeps getting weirder, doesn't it? Though if she actually did go around saying things like "tune my instrument, baby", we can't completely blame him on this one...

Scientologists concerned about a Cruiser backlash. In other news, the sun rises.


From MSNBC: "Even some Scientology leaders think that Tom Cruise might be getting a little too preachy. Some top-level officials at the Church of Scientology worry that the highest-profile member of the group may be going overboard when it comes to proselytizing. "He's still their greatest asset, and they love Tom, but there is concern he has gone a little too far lately,” says a well-placed source. "They're worried about a backlash.' " Full story

The source also confides that top Scientologists have some concern that Battlefield Earth may not be a blockbuster.

What really happened to Katie's face? Experts rule out "Kissing Tom" as possible cause

Newest controversy of the CruHol (our version of TomKat) era: what were the mysterious red sores that appeared on Katie's face in May? According to the New York Daily News, one theory blames the blemishes on a niacin-based "detoxification procedure" performed by the Church of Scientology. However, a spokesman for the church says, "Whatever is on Katie's face has nothing to do with us. It's insulting that you would ask such a thing." So that's insulting, but the whole alien parasite thing is cool?

Hollywood legend Lauren Bacall on the Cruiser: "Vulgar"


Lauren Bacall to Time Magazine: "When you talk about a great actor, you're not talking about Tom Cruise. His whole behavior is so shocking. It's inappropriate and vulgar and absolutely unacceptable to use your private life to sell anything commercially, but I think it's kind of a sickness."

Don't worry, Tom, what does she know about great actors? She's only worked with Humphrey Bogart, John Wayne, Gary Cooper, Henry Fonda, Jack Lemmon, Paul Newman.... Whoops. Sorry, Tom, we thought that would make you feel better. Our bad.

The Cruiser and Love o' Life Take Italian Cruise. Apparently Score Touchdown


Breathless reporting: "Wearing superstar shades, the nimble Top Gun star hopped up onto a platform in the stern of the luxury watercraft where he raised his arms in an enthusiastic greeting to photographers keeping a watchful lens on the popular couple. While Tom was all smiles, however, his 26-year-old partner seemed more focused on her beau's safety. The Batman Begins star hovered in the background with her arms outstretched, as though ready to catch the actor should the swell cause him to lose his balance. " If we could only be so lucky...

"Singing sensation" Carnie Wilson Disagrees with "Actor" Tom Cruise


Apparently thinking she knows more about post-partum despression than the Cruiser, just because she had -- y'know -- a baby, Carnie Wilson takes exception to Cruise's comments on Brooke: "I haven't started medication and I don't need to but I think there are many people that have different chemistry. I know plenty of people, whose lives are completely changed and, as far as I'm concerned -- saved -- because of medication." Seriously, Tom, when will these damn women stop thinking they know better than you just because they "give birth" and you don't?!? Women, go figure... Full Story

Der Crüiser to Der Spiegel in Der Germany. Der Crazy...

The full interview is priceless. Be sure to especially enjoy the part where Spielberg tries to bail Cruise of trouble, then just gives up and runs for the hills. A favorite snippet: "I myself have helped hundreds of people get off drugs. In Scientology, we have the only successful drug rehabilitation program in the world. It's called Narconon.... It's a statistically proven fact that there is only one successful drug rehabilitation program in the world. Period." Full story

Katie Holmes Poses in Wedding Dress While Slowly Losing Mind

From MSNBC - Katie Holmes appears in the August issue of W magazine posing in a Commes des Garcons wedding dress and continuing to gush about her fiance. "Tom and I will always be in our honeymoon phase," Holmes says. In the interview, a theme emerges with many similar comments, including "Tom is the most incredible man in the world."

"I'm learning to celebrate my own spirit, my own being," she says. During an interview with W mag, the actress wouldn't part from Jessica Rodriguez, who is described as her "Scientologist chaperone." Rodriguez's role in Holmes' life remains vague, though Rodriguez says they're "just best friends" since meeting around the time Holmes met Cruise. "You adore him," Rodriguez told Holmes when the actress was at a loss for words to describe her love. Full Story

We would comment on this but our new Scientologist chaperones are frowning in our general direction... Oh wait, right. We adore her.

The Cruiser Rolls Again, Rivets Continue to Pop

New quotes from the Cruiser to Der Spiegel magazine on why he had fully staffed Scientology tents on the War of the Worlds set: "I felt honored to have volunteer Scientology ministers on the set. They were helping the crew. When I'm working on a movie, I do anything I can to help the people I'm spending time with. I believe in communication. The volunteer Scientology ministers were there to help the sick and injured. "
The sick and injured? From the Martian attacks?

Brooke Bites Back

Furious at being singled out as the poster girl for all that Tom sees as wrong in the modern world, actress Brooke Shields has lashed out at the Crazy Cruiser in an opinion piece for The New York Times. Read the entire article here or do yourself a favor and check out the juiciest volleys in our new "Brooke Shields on Tom" section.

Our use of the term "nuts" is meant, as defined in Webster's, as a reference to an "eccentric" person. That's all. We do not mean to in any way denigrate or belittle anyone with mental illness. In fact, we take mental illness very seriously, which is why Mr. Cruise's ill-informed rant inspired us to create this website. We don't have anything personally against Mr. Cruise, either. We think he's a first-class actor and a humanitarian. We did used to worry that he was a misguided zealot, but that's all. Now we think he's a dangerous, misguided zealot.
