Tom Cruise’s ex-wife isn’t happy with the media.

Mimi Rogers abruptly cancelled a publicity tour in the U.K. after a Brit paper ran an interview with her that focused largely on Cruise and his romance with Katie Holmes. “Mimi is in England, participating in the World Poker Exchange, and she granted an interview, and they make it mostly about Tom,” says an insider. “And she wasn’t terribly happy with the pictures they used, either.”

Rogers cancelled a series of subsequent interviews, including a television appearance that she was scheduled to give live on Wednesday morning. “Her people pulled out Tuesday evening, leaving the producers high and dry,” says the source. “They were pretty upset.”

Rogers is quoted as saying that Tom wasn’t terribly romantic when he proposed to her. “He’s always been a very intense guy who is openly passionate about some things. But we didn’t go through that very public courtship stage,” Rogers allegedly said. “He proposed to Katie while they were up the Eiffel Tower, but with me he didn’t do anything dashing, like going down on one knee. It just, well, it just sort of happened.” Rogers rep didn’t return the Scoop’s calls for comment.

2. If she doesn't want to talk about Tom,

why is she answering questions about him? Quit 'yer bitching -- whatever happened to "any publicity is good publicity"?

you don't need publicity to play cards
