The Wall Street Journal reports that Paramount Pictures has ended its 14-year relationship with Tom Cruise’s production company because “his recent conduct has not been acceptable to Paramount.”

“As much as we like him personally,” the Viacom Inc. chairman told The Wall Street Journal, “we thought it was wrong to renew his deal.” Redstone estimated that Cruise’s off-screen behavior cost his latest movie, “Mission: Impossible III,” $100 million to $150 million in ticket sales, even as he praised the film as “the best of the three movies” in the action series. “It’s nothing to do with his acting ability, he’s a terrific actor,” Redstone said. “But we don’t think that someone who effectuates creative suicide and costs the company revenue should be on the lot.”

I can understand Lindsay Lohan getting scolded by the studio but Tom Cruise? Sure he’s loony, but he’s also Tom Fucking Cruise. He makes three phone calls and he owns half of Korea. He’s as big a celebrity as humanly possible so the fact that he lost his job means the entire world is finally going insane. It was a good run, but we might as well just pack up our stuff and move to the moon.

    I didn’t go and see MI III because MI II sucked so many balls, and not in an entertaining way. It was one of the most forgettable (without intoxication playing a key ;) ) movie’s I’ve seen.

    That and going to the movies costs too much to bother with films that aren’t spectacular (like Snakes on a Plane and Clerks II!! That was worth it.) :D

    I didnt know it was a crime to be happy! For christ sakes give the guy a break already, If I was stuck with Nichole Kidmans skeletor body for 14 or 15 years and then found someone MUCH better, I would be jumping on couches too!
