Tom Cruise...IS SOOOOOOO FRIGGING CREEPY!!!!

[Crankie Avalon]

OK, I'm on the Salon homepage and looking under the "just posted" column and see, "The Fix: Cruise hurting Holmes' career, friendships?" and guiltily take a look (celebrity gossip, I know, but I just can't help laughing at Cruise and most of his movies). Anyway, this popped up and wow, he is weird:

"No more Cruise control jokes, please: First, there was speculation that Tom Cruise's recent impassioned interviews (this one, in which he gets downright combative, is really a must-read) about his love for Katie Holmes and his commitment to Scientology would affect his career. (Today comes news that his long-delayed next film, "Mission Impossible III," is set to begin filming in July, despite rumors that the studio was having doubts about the actor's sustained box office clout.) Now, word is that it's affecting Holmes' career -- and her relationships with her family and friends. As Holmes gets more into Cruise (she's moved into his Beverly Hills mansion) and Scientology (she's been surrounded by an entourage of Scientologists during press interviews for "Batman Begins"), she's said to be pulling away from many of her old buddies. "This relationship is becoming as weird as Liza Minnelli and David Gest's," commented one friend. "It was exciting at first that Katie was dating Tom, but then when she started drifting away and I realized it was because we weren't into Scientology, it got a little weird." Holmes has also dropped out of the lead role in "Factory Girl," a biopic of Edie Sedgwick, reportedly at Cruise's behest and is starting to be overlooked for other roles, according to the New York Post. She and Cruise recently arranged for her parents to visit the Scientology Celebrity Center -- and she's even asked her old doorman to pass out Scientology literature to her neighbors in her old apartment complex. Meanwhile, Cruise's ex Nicole Kidman has weighed in on Cruise's recent media splurfage: "In terms of your life, if you start to exploit it, then what's real and what's not? What's yours and what isn't?" (N.Y. Post, Australia's "60 Minutes," Vanity Fair via This Is London, Hollywood Reporter)"

1. he doesn't want a successful wife like he had in Kidman

and remember that Scientology is a cult, no matter how much they try and pretty it up

2. He's a 42 year old man...

...involved with a 26 year old woman who seems, on top of the 16 year difference, immature for her age (never even been in a grownup relationship where there was the intimacy of sex, according to her).

Weird man.
