Sumner Redstone, the owner of Viacom, among other major entertainment properties, broke up with Tom Cruise a few years ago for jumping on Oprah’s couch and generally being a f-cking weirdo. At the time, Redstone told Vanity Fair that “(Cruise) was embarrassing the studio (Paramount). And he was costing us a lot of money. Full Story

It's Harper Seven Beckham + Hockey. I mean if these don't blow up your heart... (even if your team was knocked out in the first round). The Beckhams hit up Game 7 last night between the San Jose Sharks and the Los Angeles Kings. Nothing quite like the stress of a Game 7, especially when you have to book it out of the building before the mob lights your car on fire. Full Story

Tom Cruise was at the Star Trek Into Darkness premiere last night. He did not walk the carpet but showed up for the after-party. As you know, it’s not his style to attend the opening of just anything. The official reason is that he was there to support his friends. But this was a strategic move too. Full Story

Tom Cruise was in Beijing yesterday promoting Oblivion. As you now know, the Chinese movie market is a big deal now. Not only for the money they make but also for, um, the money they steal. Iron Man 3 was released in China a day before North America. They say it was a smart decision so as to reduce the piracy situation. Full Story

I said once that no matter how bad The Lone Ranger looks, I wouldn’t bet against director Gore Verbinski pulling a rabbit out of his hat and coming up with something entertaining and crowd-pleasing, if not exactly good. Verbinski is the kind of director that exceeds in chaotic conditions and he has a knack for finding solid character beats amidst splashy action sequences. Full Story

We find Tom Cruise. I keep saying that it was almost unimaginable, right? Not even 10 years ago, if I told you RDJ would be the biggest movie star, at least by box office, in the world, and definitely above Tom Cruise, you would have told me to f-ck off. I would have told myself to f-ck off. With the benefit of hindsight though, well, it totally makes sense. Full Story

Here’s Tom Cruise arriving at Kimmel yesterday. The fans certainly still love him, don’t they? Tom, obviously, wouldn’t answer any personal questions yesterday at the premiere. Amazingly he didn’t take his shirt off either. Kimmel couldn’t make him do it. Instead, Kimmel asked him to be Tom Cruise. Full Story

Yesterday when I wrote about the Elysium trailer I said that making good sci-fi is hard. It’s just a big pit of vipers and the vipers are named things like Exposition and Logic and Narrative Mandate. Good sci-fi requires a huge amount of behind-the-scenes planning, the majority of which will never actually be used in the final product (be it movie or book), but the rules and laws of the world created need to make some kind of sense. Full Story

Remember when Katie Holmes totally outplayed Tom Cruise and escaped in the middle of the night with a new cell phone and a Hollywood publicity machine that cornered him into giving her a free escape pass and pretty much whatever she wanted? Tom was interviewed by German television recently while promoting Oblivion and, supposedly, when asked about the situation, finally confirmed that: “I didn’t expect it. Full Story

Tom Cruise and Olga Kurylenko are in Moscow promoting Oblivion, making their way across Europe, as that is where they’re hoping to make up for any possible domestic loss at the box office. SO curious about how Oblivion will perform in North America. Anyway, as you can see, Tom’s skin and body maintenance seems to be working very well on this press tour. Full Story

They took out the moon? I just watched a new tv spot for the upcoming Oblivion and I think Morgan Freeman says they took out the moon. Has Michael Bay ever taken out the moon? Is this a Michael Bay movie? What IS this movie??? Tom Cruise’s Oblivion opens on April 19. He really has to start selling it now. Full Story

Many years ago, I wrote about the hierarchy of celebrity tabloids. In short, PEOPLE and US Weekly at the top, and the bottom feeders are Star, IN TOUCH, and Life & Style. If you’ve been reading my blog long enough, you know I rarely bother with a story that originates from the last three. Full Story

Last year on Valentine’s Day, Katie Holmes was just putting her exit plan together, slowly freezing out all of Tom Cruise’s Scientology spies. So she’s single now, and living in New York, and her friends are trying to convince us that Full Story

Lawrence Wright, a Pulitzer Prize winning writer, is the author of a new book on Scientology called Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, and the Prison of Belief (thank you for using the Oxford comma in the title). The Hollywood Reporter has an online excerpt. Before you click though, make sure you have the time. Full Story
