Movie Reviews and Previews Tom Cruise goes Rogue Check out Tom Cruise in London yesterday. I wonder if that’s home for him now. He’d been shooting Mena in Georgia for a few weeks but London’s been homebase for a while, for several of his last few movies.

TV Updates We missed the anniversary Check out Katie Holmes in New York today. Word is she and Suri are spending the summer in the city. Rumour is she’s renting an apartment for $25K a month.

Like despite Chris Pratt’s charm offensive, Jurassic World is off my radar entirely. But a new trailer By Sarah • Jun 05, 2015 10:32 am

Xenu Smut Happy Anniversary to us, Tom Cruise Tomorrow is the 10th anniversary of this: It’s still funny and crazy and everything.

That moment By Lainey • May 22, 2015 03:46 pm
Xenu Smut Tom Cruise’s gap Tom Cruise is currently in Atlanta working on Mena. Here he is on set yesterday showing off a gap in his teeth, obviously for the character.
