Tom Cruise might sue over split story
According to his lawyer, Tom Cruise is considering suing Life & Style magazine for claiming that he split with Katie Holmes and implying that the two were going to continue faking their relationship for good publicity.
Cruise is set to meet with his lawyer Fields this week to discuss possible action against the publication. Fields says, "This is a disgusting and malicious story. t is unequivocally false and I have already demanded a retraction. I will be sitting down with Tom in the next couple of days to discuss this story, and ultimately it's his call as to whether we bring a lawsuit. But if it was up to me, I would sue."
Considering Tom Cruise has a lot of money, enjoys suing people, and is generally insane, I think it's a safe bet to assume he'll go ahead with the lawsuit. When your world revolves around worshipping space aliens and bending young impressionable women to your will, suing magazines is really no big deal.

Isn't suing a bit extreme? If the story is false & they'd like the world to know it, couldn't they just *gasp* stay together?!

Is his lawyer going to be an alien? Or maybe Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer. "I'm not familiar with your ways and customs..."

Testimony to include Val Kilmer recounting the time when Tom Cruise said, "That's right Iceman, I am dangerous."

Sticks and stones, blah, blah, blah.
Tom needs to lighten up.

Knowing what a publicity whore he now is, it wouldn't surprise me one bit to find out he himself leaked the break-up story to the media, just to generate more talk about himself... When's MI-3 coming out? Isnt it about that time to generate media buzz to promote it?
6. Posted by GothamGuy on February 21, 2006 09:11 AM
Hey, come on now people. Let's not forget that this is not Tom speaking but his LAWYER. Do you honestly think he would lie?
Hold on...I have to take this call...someone is selling me a bridge real cheap.
I love how his lawyer acts like he has not talked with Tom yet and just called the press to say he'd sue if it were him. Maybe his hourly fee includes "speculating in the media".

Gossipmonger, excellent observation! I think he turkey basted Katie exactly nine months from the premier date of MI-3 so we'll have to wait and see if the birth coinsides with that.

As if suing is going to convince anyone that it's not a sham. Didn't he win a lawsuit against a magazine that said he was gay? Everyone still thinks he's gay. This lawsuit would be equally pointless. Until Katie is hypnotized or Tom allows himself to be injected with truth serum to find out what happened when Katie went missing (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,160192,00.html), no one is going to believe him. Also, he has to stop being gay.
I've never posted before but I took the time to register just to ask where hollyj, laydeebug, manunited and papahotnuts are. Either they're all the same person or papa finally arranged that rare menage a quatre. Well done, papa, well done.

I think Tom should quit acting; it looks like he can make a nice livelihood on lawsuits.

If Tom's lawyer is going to sue over everything that bothers Tom Cruise, I guess the following should prepare for trial:
1. People over 4 feet tall
2. The creators of Men in Black for exposing his truth
3. Keith Urban for fucking Nicole Kidman
4. Keith Urban for not fucking Tom Cruise
5. Vaginas (they just scare him)
6. That thing on Katie's lip
7. Viper, Iceman, Jester, Merlin, and Hollywood
8. Cuba Gooding Jr. for upstaging him
9. Anti-depressants or Brooke Shields
10.Vaginas, again

what a surprise - the lawyer recommends a lawsuit.
in that vein of objectivity, i recommend that jennifer love hewitt do jumping jacks in my bedroom every day, and furthermore tell me its cool when men cry after sex.

While I applaud the continual mockery of scientology for its utter absurdity, it is no less moronic than the delusions which practically everyone else has and so how about some consistency for other idiotic religions i.e. all of them? Worshipping long-haired magic space hippies for example--as the writers perhaps do--is no more reasonable or justified, is definitely also indicative of mental disorder, and should be subject to the same derision.

Oh, PapaHotNuts, you literally made me almost pee my pants. You now officially have a fan in South America. As Carson would say- "That's some funny stuff." And by Carson, I mean Johnny not that lame-ass Carson Daly who, just 10 years ago, was nothing but a midnight to 4 a.m. shift radio DJ in San Jose, CA. But, I digress...

There was a time when I thought (like most other women) that Tom was HOOOOOOOOOOTTTT. But now that he is in the media so much with his "possesive" ways, he is portraying that he really is a loser. Poor Katie...(not that she is anything great herself), but come on now.....now he wants her to be a stay at home mom...(nothing wrong with that...I am one) No wonder he wants to sue....to supplement her income!

Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer was one of the best skit sets SNL ever did. The suit, with the brow ridge and all the hair was priceless.
I don't even know what else to say about Tommy. Weird, so weird. I guess this just proves that while money can't buy happiness, it sure can rent crazy for a long time.

Whatever. You all talk shit. If someone said something about you that was complete bullshit you'd be pissed too. The guy's a little kooky for believing in that Scientology crap. But 2 thousand years ago if you woulda ran around preaching about Jesus Christ people would be looking at you like you were a weirdo as well.

You know he's gonna win.
It's not like the magazine said he's gay or anything (which he IS). God, what a prick.

Derek, please step into the 21st century.
And since I'm not a celebrity, if Maria from next door told the neighborhood that I was a giving Jose from the next block a weekly blowjob and it wasn't true, I'd go over and punch her in the eye, and call it a day. I wouldn't sue her.

I think you should punch her in the eye, say "WHAT?!!! Biyatch!!!!", then call it a day.

Tom's lawyer wants to convince everyone that the Life & Style story's not true, AND he wants to scare L&S into not doing a follow-up, so he's threatening to sue. But he will absolutely NOT sue. Why? The story's completely true. And I'm sure L&S will have their sham romance on their cover again this week.
28. Posted by brewerpatriot on February 21, 2006 11:53 AM
Can we please just make fun of Tom Cruise without going off on tangents regarding theology? Christianity and the other mainstream religions maybe more mythology than truth, but they have more basis than some alien invasion crap created by a psycho hack sci-fi writer; a "religion" with secrect texts that requires thousands and thousands of dollars to move up levels.
So Laydee, how was papa and the other girls - or were you just off for the holiday?
29. Posted by ESQ on February 21, 2006 12:09 PM
Oh Tom Just convert them all to Scientologists because that is what will really make you happy in the end.

We were all good. Thanks for asking, Patriot. Just don't ask for details because what happens in Vegas... well, you know the drill.

He is BS-ing. If he was going to sue, he would have already filed. When they say they are CONSIDERING suing they are just trying to sound like the story isn't true and are considering their options....remember Mary-Kate Olsen was "Considering Suing" because the tabloids said she was annorexic, Courtney Love was "Considering Suing" because another tabloid said she was back on drugs, etc... both those stories proved to be true. By somebody as Sue-happy as Tom Cruise, NOT suing but merely considering Suing I would say that that is confirmation that the story is True. Now Tom, get back in the closet and hire another B-List starlet to pretend to love you.

Why do people always say things like "poor katie blah blah" when Tom Cruise craziness is mentioned?
We're talking about a girl whose biggest acting achievements were playing a depressing teenager in Dawson's Creek and ruining Batman Begins. Does the comment, "Batman Begins was great but for Katie Holmes..." sound familiar?
41. Posted by LaydeeBug on February 21, 2006 01:22 PM
Katie Holmes is a cactus. Remember her in "The Gift" where whe shows her boobs?
Tall, dull and vacant, just like Tom likes 'em.
42. Posted by PURPLE_GURL on February 21, 2006 01:40 PM
Maybe if he hadn't "tucked" her away people wouldn't be speculating about their relationship. Also note Katie is never mentioned as being for or against the sueing. Its TOM's lawyer and TOM making the decision whether to sue or not. Maybe if the were seen in public together more often and he didn't talk about her like she's some mindless blob incapable of making a decision maybe people wouldn't talk. I think it's all a publicity stunt cuz famous or not I can't see people who are in love and getting married REALLY honestly acting the way Katie and him do.
43. Posted by guynoir on February 21, 2006 02:04 PM
Blah blah more poor little Katie Krap #42. Stupid neo-fems. Katie is making her own bed. Maybe being the little wife and letting big daddy Cruise call the shots is her decision?
44. Posted by outrageous.opinion on February 21, 2006 02:21 PM
The magazine says its source is reliable. Of course if exposed, the scientology forces would have them assassinated.(the source) Can you imagine what kind of hush money Tom pays out to relatives and friends? Holy cow, it must be a fortune. BUT, its impossible to keep every single person completely quiet. He is not that powerful. Also, the story makes sense. Come on, the couch jumping, etc. Its all a stunt. Its has to be. Its too strange...........
45. Posted by PURPLE_GURL on February 21, 2006 02:24 PM
I agree it may be her decision #43 but being a woman who has experienced an abusive and controlling husband sometimes your spirit is crushed to the point that you dont believe you have a voice or decision. Plus she's still young. I agree it might be her decision but where is she in all these stories to say so?? I think if she really felt anything other than that weird creature growing in her that she'd come forward and say so and I think most anyone would agree with that.

...Why is it that whenever celebrities want to sue over break-up stories, they end up breaking up? I remember Richard Gere and Cindy Crawford took out a full page ad in the NY Times and suing...and guess what?
I think we can consider this couple DOA.
Yeah, Katie sucks as an actress, but seriously, this guy is whacked beyond belief.

He just needs more money so he can "rank up another level" in his ridiculous religion. They actually make you pay them money to "rank up a level" It's like a bad video game lol

Strange, strange, strange and stranger. Maybe it's the smog factor in Cali. Tom has a right to blow anybody he wants and the wifey can watch. (lol) Is he suing because it's true or because it's not...that would be the question. Oh btw, is the baby rreeaallyy his?

Question: Does Katie Holmes actually talk anymore?

tom needs to get over himself, seriously
53. Posted by PURPLE_GURL on February 21, 2006 02:52 PM
obviously no one here is schooled so I dont know why I bothered to bring up the fact that Katie never speaking sounds like control. Take some sociology classes guys. I didn't finish high school and go to college for sociology and psychology classes to learn nothing about human nature. shes "tucked" away....sounds odd to me
54. Posted by Sangiovese on February 21, 2006 02:55 PM
#48 I agree. If Scientology gave a badge, like in the Boy Scouts, for every $100k donated, Tom would have so many badges by now, he'd need 4 uniforms to so them on- just to have enough room for them all. In fact, with the amount he's paid and the number of levels he's gone up, shouldn't he be GOD of Scientology by now?
Now, if y'all don't mind- I'm heading over to LickyLicky's house for lava cakes. It's at least 6500 miles, so I'd better get started! Well worth it, though. Mmmmm...lava cakes...

I don't know what kind of mind-altering, mouth-shutting drug Tom used on Katie, but she hasn't expressed an opinion of her own (other than the ones about Tom being "the most amazing man" and "It's all so exciting") since last April--almost a year ago!
Man, I want some of that stuff! I've got several people in mind I'd like to use it on, starting with my boss! Tom, where are you, hon??

64. Posted by ir0ny! on February 21, 2006 05:35 PM
#61 - it's probably because Tom DOESN'T have Nicole anymore, which is making him weird. Well, it's the end of his career anyway because he's getting on everyone's nerves. Maybe his gayness is getting to him, & he can't handle not being with other men but having to be with women instead. Tom should just build a UFO & fly him & Katie & baby away, really FAR away!!!

I'm giving it a couple of years before I will believe these two are for real. So let's see - when they are still together in say 3 or 4 years time, with another kid, then I might start to reconsider (then again considering the Michael Jackson/Debbie Rowe scenario maybe not). Did anyone here in Australia see the Tom Cruise South Park episode that played on Sunday night? Nearly cried laughing.

I read recently that Scientology held a celebration for him out in L.A. for being the member to donate the largest amount of money since joining. I admit I checked it out...they offer the first few "classes" to get you in..$25.00 or so then the most "beneficial" classes (after they have your credit card information) run $5,000 and up. Weird doesn't even begin to cover it. Not only am I too poor cash and credit wise...it's just crazy the things they want you to do. Of course now I have to look out for Tom Cruise, John Travolta, and Kirsti Alley either suing or killing me. Goodbye cruel world.....

Katie is making Tom weird? actually, Tom decided eons ago that he needed a female partner for his great idea -- media coupledom. so he held auditions for certain female actresses, one being Jessica Alba, to be his publicity partner. For some reason Katie took to it, and then some, now having his child. When I look at her pictures, I see someone far too innocent to even think about doing this, in fact, she must think its pure madness. But she wasn't that famous to begin with (besides, Pieces of April was an AWFUL film).
She was manipulated and thinks it's so "cool" she is carrying Tom's child, but it looks pretty bad from this perspective. In fact, I hope someone has told her that Tom is totally NUTSO so she can get a clue, unless he doesn't let her talk to anybody (which apparently is the case judging from some sources).
