My question, is. Why did they kick Tom Cruise out like that?
Wouldn't he bring in a lot of revenue for the company and continue to do that despite the fact his behavior was a bit immature?

We should forgive him, and I think that's what everyone would do.

I don't understand these things. :confused:

He's an actor and a business wrapped into one. Sometimes thousands of people depend on him to generate wealth from his name in films and other appearances. He should know by now his every move, like all other stars, is watched and critiqued over & over again. As a business man selling his image & name he stepped out of bounds and opened himself up to ridicule. Stunts like that have ruined actors for life before.
But hey, he dared to show enthusiasm! He got crazy for a few minutes. I've done worse I can assure you. Just not on national television, and I'm not a world reknowned star that depends on the public for survival.
He gets a bad rap for daring to be....NOT CHRISTIAN!:eek: NOT JEWISH!:eek: Not even fuckin MORMON!! He's a Scientologist!! That must mean he is weirder than everyone else!:eek:
So an unfair combo of being a follower of a socially unacceptable faith, showing too much happiness on TV and being known as a cool cat in films has hurt him.

So.
For people who don't keep abreast of the Hollywood scandal sheets...?
And. Please. No links. Give it to me straight, Doc.

yeah, i would like to know also.

So no one buys my opinion? And why is the report light on?

So no one buys my opinion?

absolutely not.

absolutely not.:mad: Bastards! The lot of ya!!

he he he

Buy your opinion on what?
Don't even know what Tom Cruise got kicked out of.
The Country Buffet?

As to the 'report light'. There's no such thing. That's your online/offline indicator.

Tom Cruise now owns United Artist. I think he is okay with being kicked from Paramount.

As to the 'report light'. There's no such thing. That's your online/offline indicator.I assumed the op author was referring to Cruise's antics on Oprah.
I didn't know that light was the on/off indicator! I thought it meant someone reported me for the post! I became enraged and unhappy when I noted ALL my posts had been reported! Noooow I see.:o HeHe. Umm. That's all. (swallow.)

he must be Jewish then-ha ha ha

So an unfair combo of being a follower of a socially unacceptable faith, showing too much happiness on TV and being known as a cool cat in films has hurt him.

Don't forget that he told Matt Lauer(sp) that "psychology is a pseudoscience" and that Matt was being "glib" for suggesting that perhaps medication helps some people.

I believe he also threw in that Brooke Shields' career was going down the drain because she took pills for postpartum depression.

I'm pretty sure that this was the main reason for the public uproar/drama, with the raving antics being a hilarious backdrop.

So, what'd he do on Oprah? Get cum stains on her favorite couch?

He was so excited, I'm suprised he didn't - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmOKCsGLS30

I asked for no links, please.
I'm not interested enough to actually read an article on it nor even to watch it in its original form.

Let me guess, he went off on some kind of scientology rampage?
Anybody remember the old days when scientologists used to put rattlesnakes in mailboxes?

No, he went crazy about being in love. Jumping on her yellow couch(twice). Getting in weird power-man poses on the floor. Nearly ripping Oprah's arm off. Weird silences throughout, while he constantly holds this insane smile. All because he's giddy in love. I think this lasts pretty much throughout the whole segment, it's like one big physical exclamation of his love - he doesn't actually say much - just pours his heart out with these giddy gestures.

My question, is. Why did they kick Tom Cruise out like that?
Wouldn't he bring in a lot of revenue for the company and continue to do that despite the fact his behavior was a bit immature?

Because they hate scientologists.

Everyone who is truly in love, has gone crazy, thats what being in love is all about, it's going crazy.

Anyone who is in love who is not acting like Tom Cruise, is prolly faking it.

I've never met anyone, even individuals who are newly "in love," who act like that when questioned about their relationship. Of course there is a certain insanity that accompanies love(Tom made his apparent), but controlling your emotions does not imply a lack therof.

I think his behavior was really just silly, and the incident by itself did not warrant all of the public criticism. But again, he made a series of public blunders in a short amount of time - this one was just icing on the cake.

It generated much attention. That always plays well for an actor. Sane or not.

Yeah, it's not like he drop-kicked Oprah off the stage. However, doing so might have worked well as an advance promo for MI-3.

His drop in popularity wasn't only because he was a scientologist (no that didn't help). It was his behaviour. I think people thought he was fanatical.

I haven't heard the same negative publicity towards John Travolta because of his religion.

Tom Cruise has been around for a long long time (risky business and top gun), very few stars have the kind of stayinf power he has\had. For him to look for alternatives within the business seems logical given his experience.

I doubt his religion had anything to do with it.

I don't see what's wrong with that episode of Tom on Oprah, it's the media that blew it out of proportion. All he's doing is feeding off the frenzy of the female audience screaming non-stop. He's just showing that any little thing he does makes em go crazy. Hell, he could of shit in his hand and flung it around and the girls there would still love it.

Kind of like what the Beatles did in Shea Stadium, they wound up not even playing their instruments just screwing around because the female frenzy was too loud and crazy. I'd be blown away by those reactions from the fans and I'd screw around too, heh. Only problem is that now-a-days the media will do anything to create drama and make a story.

His drop in popularity wasn't only because he was a scientologist (no that didn't help). It was his behaviour. I think people thought he was fanatical.

It wasn't due to his behavior, it was due to the media. Without Fox News playing that crap 24/7, people wouldn't have even cared. They don't try and allow you to make up your own mind on an issue, they try and tell you what to think which is why they have all those so-called analysts and "professionals" giving their opinions rather than news anchors being old school and just giving us the facts of the matter.

Again, I don't see what the problem was. There is no liberal media and there is no conservative media.. it's all corporate media in it for a quick buck and they did quite well with Tom Cruise's incidents. There's a reason why you hear stupid stuff like this 24/7 for a couple days on end instead of important real news issues. You know, Michael Jackson, that Scott Peterson dude or whatever his name was, that dead Natalie chick in Aruba, etc etc. Not news, but entertainment. Hell, the other day I saw a huge FOX NEWS ALERT and it was all for a stupid building being imploded somewhere. What the hell makes that some huge alert requiring multiple flashes? LoL!

- N

you remember when he was on the today show? the interview with matt?
he gave matt a book that exposed alot of high-powered people.

Ah.
I see.
Well then.
I recommend he be murdered.
Gently.
In his sleep.

Anyone who is in love who is not acting like Tom Cruise, is prolly faking it.Select a response from the following options:
a) Most of them would be taller while doing it.
b) Tom Cruise can act?
c) None of the above
d) All of the above

I think Tom Cruise was just really happy (being in love), and he couldn't really contain his behavior. But as the above poster said, he was really giddy and just trying to do it for the female fans who were screaming constantly non stop. The media did blow it out of proportion.

And what the hell is a scientologist? Are you guys like joking or something? (can someone pm me)

Is he kneeling and praying or something? What's he doing?

Actually the audience werent happy at all. They were very upset and they cried after the show. Tom just left without saying he sorry. Tom Cruise thought he funny, if you look closely you can see that Oprah was about to cry, but she was hiding it cuz she strong and independent woman

No, he went crazy about being in love. Jumping on her yellow couch(twice). Getting in weird power-man poses on the floor. Nearly ripping Oprah's arm off.

Isn't this ancient history?

He's a disgusting, unctuous knob. Always has been - but the Oprah segment in particular made me vomit all over my shoes.

And what the hell is a scientologist? Are you guys like joking or something? (can someone pm me)
It's a freaky new age cult, with the usual questionable activities associated with cults. I'm surprised that new religions start.
