Paramount dumps Tom Cruise: Finally!
« on: August 23, 2006, 05:45:49 am »
For those who care: Paramounts Pictures dumped Tom Cruise because of his bizarre sofa jumping stunt on Oprah, according to IMDb. 


Paramount Dumps Cruise

Tom Cruise has been unceremoniously dumped by his Paramount studio partners for his sofa-jumping antics on TV. Revered Paramount boss Sumner Redstone has ended his company's 14-year relationship with Cruise/Wagner Productions because he no longer wants to be associated with the movie star. Redstone tells newspaper The Wall Street Journal he believes Cruise's bizarre antics on TV shows like Oprah and Today had a negative effect on the box office take of Paramount's 2005 summer blockbuster War Of The Worlds. He snipes, "As much as we like him personally, we thought it was wrong to renew his deal... His recent conduct has not been acceptable to Paramount."

Really thought, Tom is okay as long as he keeps his mouth shut.

Hey we got a lot to thank Tom for...

Bringing the idiocies of scientology to the forefront of human awareness.

Demonstrating idiocy on the Oprah show which resulted in the classic house term "couch-jumper".

Tom was so adorable in Risky Business and then he turned into....Tom Cruise.

Good for Paramount for dumping him. I hope he has invested his millions wisely, I predict his Hollywood career is kaput, at least for now.

I sure hope some of you realize that scientology is actually quite homophobic and advocates "changing" sexuality. Tom really got on my nerves and his stupidity at Oprah's show was the last straw. I'm glad he help bring scientology in the spotlight where it got exposed to be fraudulant. This was the best dumping in a long time... even better then my bestfriend dumping that abusive ex of hers.

Goodbye, Tom. I hope your career is now shot.
