Movie Reviews and Previews Tom Cruise runs the Great Wall of China 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 By Lainey • May 10, 2013 10:39 am
Media Manipulation Armie Hammer’s apprenticeship 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 By Sarah • Apr 26, 2013 11:23 am
Tom Cruise And trailing behind RDJ Part 1 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.

Tom Cruise Tom Cruise as Tom Cruise, descended from knights 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 By Lainey • Apr 12, 2013 12:09 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Tom Cruis-E 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 By Sarah • Apr 11, 2013 03:32 pm
Break Ups Tom Cruise on the blindsiding 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 By Lainey • Apr 09, 2013 04:44 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Tom’s skinny legs 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’ By Lainey • Apr 01, 2013 12:13 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Tom Cruise blows up the moon 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 By Lainey • Mar 26, 2013 11:23 am
Girly Throw Downs Tom Cruise vs Nazis & Pervs 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 By Lainey • Feb 15, 2013 11:58 am
Break Ups The new Carrie Bradshaw’s first single Valentine’s 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: “She's become a real-life By Lainey • Feb 14, 2013 12:01 pm
Chills Chills Chills Tom Cruise thinks Tom Cruise could be president 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).

Hook Ups Tom Cruise’s signature move Is apparently dancing. He dances a lot. He dances like your uncle at the wedding. Now that he’s single, the dancing is his go-to move. According to IN TOUCH Weekly, Tom Cruise is now seeing a NY restaurant manager called Cynthia Jorge. She boldly handed him her card and By Lainey • Dec 27, 2012 11:10 am
Girly Throw Downs Katie on Tom’s weekend Who’s the genius pushing Katie Holmes out so visibly on the weekend Tom Cruise is trying to sell Jack Reacher? If there’s anyone to challenge Blake Lively’s fame game, Jesus, it might actually be Katie Holmes. A year ago, this would not have been your answer. Katie By Lainey • Dec 21, 2012 11:58 am
Hook Ups Tom Cruise is “for real” Tom Cruise was on Jimmy Fallon last night. They had a water fight. And he talked, again, about go-carting and motorcycles. It was better than the night before on Letterman, slightly, but Top Gun is still, these days, painfully uncool, “for real”. You know those commercials when they dress some By Lainey • Dec 19, 2012 04:10 pm
Tom Cruise Tom Cruise the conversationalist God that was painful. Just sat through Letterman’s interview with Tom Cruise last night. It was 3 segments which...if you’re familiar with Dave, you know, normally, only the veteran chatters, the good ones, they get 3 segments. Like Tom Hanks. Or Julia Roberts. George Clooney, Sandra Bullock, By Lainey • Dec 18, 2012 12:42 pm
Xenu Smut Back to back Jacks and Xenu’s rap Here’s Tom Cruise at the London premiere of Jack Reacher last night wearing a lot of blush and bronzer. Contouring makes all the difference, you know? While Tom’s promoting his current release, a trailer for his next release, Oblivion, was released online yesterday. He plays another Jack. So By Lainey • Dec 11, 2012 11:14 am
