Star Magazine, via Celebitchy, says that the two adopted children of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman have spent the summer at a camp outside Portland, a camp that critics say is designed to take kids while they're young and indoctrinate them into Scientology. Star says:
As Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and their 15-month-old cutie Suri were snapped romping around Berlin in between his filming the World War II drama, Valkyrie, noticeably absent from these family outings were daughter Isabella, 14, and son Connor, 12. Nor were the two with mom Nicole Kidman, who is currently in Australia filming her own WWII epic. So where have the Cruise kids been all summer? Star has learned that the youngsters are in Oregon, at a camp 60 miles south of Portland run by the Church of Scientology! “The summer camp is part of the Scientology’s ‘get them while they’re young’ campaign,” a source who attended the camp tells Star. “While they will be enjoying horseback riding, swimming and all kinds of fun activities, some of their day is devoted to Scientology coursework.”
And by golly that's what camp is all about. It's all about e-meters and thetans and chanting to some comically misinformed counselors about a religion based on 76 million year old aliens trapped on Earth in Volcano prisons. About a religion that is totally real, and not a sham at all. Theologically speaking, you might as well pray to a shoe, or the Great Pumpkin, but that's hardly the point.
Eleven extras were injured after falling off a truck on the set of Tom Cruise's latest movie, "Valkyrie". The movie, directed by Bryan Singer, was filming in Germany when the side of a military troop transport truck burst open as it drove around a corner. The BBC says:
One man was seriously injured … The other 10 of were treated in hospital but later released. Police said there were "no findings to suggest anyone famous was involved".
The truck, which was made to look like a Wehrmacht military vehicle, is now being inspected for technical defects as part of a police investigation.
Valkyrie has faced criticism in Germany, where crew were banned from filming at the former staff quarters where Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, who led the plot (to kill Hitler), was executed.
Well this is the first time I've ever heard of an extra getting hurt during the filming of a Bryan Singer movie. Normally those dudes are hurt when they audition for Bryan Singer. Hurt on the inside. Emotionally. Or maybe because their anus is too tight. Just relax baby, this will all be over in a few minutes, and then you'll be a big star. You do want to be a big star, don't you?
IGN says that J.J. Abrams has asked Tom Cruise to play Captain Christopher Pike in the upcoming movie version of "Star Trek". Pike was James T. Kirk's predecessor and captain of the U.S.S. Enterprise in the original and unaired Star Trek TV pilot. The role would be little more than a cameo. IGN says:
Cruise's name first surfaced last fall as a possibility for a role in Trek, but Cruise spokesman Arnold Robinson said, "That story is not true." There was still bad blood between Cruise and Trek studio Paramount at that time, but in recent months Sumner Redstone, the Viacom honcho who ousted Cruise, has softened his rhetoric, leaving the door open for reconciliation. A Cruise cameo in Trek, however, would be a favor to Abrams and not to Paramount.
While I appreciate JJ Abrams absolute faith in my Star Trek knowledge, it's possible he's overestimating the average movie goers enthusiasm for Star Trek trivia. Besides you're asking for trouble to put Tom Cruise's scientology lovin ass on a spaceship. You'll yell action, he'll see some lasers, think it's the rapture and start killing everyone.
The Aussie version of MSN says today that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes want to do a sexy - and naked - photoshoot together much like the one David and Victoria Beckham did last month for W magazine. MSN says:
Sources say a racy photo shoot will allow the pair to show off a side of their relationship that's rarely seen, with insiders explaining that while they've so far kept their public image family oriented, Katie, 28, and her husband have a strong physical side they want share with fans.
"Tom and Katie really have amazing chemistry," says a pal. "They want to show the world how much."
While the finer details are yet to be confirmed, insiders say they'd like at least one photo to feature them naked.
"They are already planning the various photos," says a source close to the pair. "Tom and Katie want to pose together in the shower, dripping wet and covered by nothing but steam."
Eh. That's gross. I'm not saying I don't wanna see Katie Holmes naked, because, in reality, I would very much like to see Katie Holmes naked, but not if I have to see Tom Cruise too. And I think if a kid were masturbating to those and accidentally finished on Tom instead of Katie, that would mean he's gay now. He's gay and he's into dudes. I'm pretty accurate with my semen - in fact I practice by shooting tin cans off a fence like cowboys - but this one just isn't worth the risk.
Naysayers may be resistant to accept Tom Cruise in his new role as the German general who attempted to assassinate Hitler, but as this picture proves, he can hold a briefcase on a runway and look tubby right up there with some of the best actors who ever lived. (full picture here)
Someone needs to kidnap Suri and run a CAT scan on her immediately because something is wrong with her. I don't know what, but she's clearly f'd up somehow. She always looks like they just pulled her out of the dryer. Katie looks like a hot zombie, there's no way her daughter should look like they just hit her in the head with a frying pan.
The super muscular dog isn't relevant to anything, in case you were wondering, except that he was in the Daily Mail today too and he's a mutant just like Suri. That's pretty much like what I would look like if I was a dog, except with piercing blue eyes and getting smooches from a hot girl dog.
