‘Nightline’ Martin Bashir Investigates Scientology And Causes Tommy Davis To Abruptly Leave
Posted on 27. Oct, 2009 by CSS.
Boy is the Church of Scientology taking a beating this week…..
Crash director Paul Haggis made headlines on Monday, after he abandoned the controversial sect after more than 30 years over its anti-gay marriage stance. Now, Tommy Davis, the head of the Church of Scientology’s Celebrity Center, is hitting the blogosphere for walking out of an interview with ABC Nightline correspondent Martin Bashir, because he didn’t like Bashir’s line of questioning.
Last week, ABC ran a two-part investigation into Scientology, which focused on the allegedly violent behavior by leader David Miscavige, as well as the involvement celebrities like Tom Cruise and John Travolta.
In a taped interview,which aired last Friday, Bashir grilled Davis about the church’s involvement in the autism treatments of celebrity Scientologist John Travolta’s late son Jett.
“Do you know if the church ever advised them not to allow their son to receive certain medications?”
Davis curtly replied, “The church never advised them in any way, shape or form whatsoever on any aspect of their son’s treatment. Never have, never will.”
Bashir asked Davis to expound on the church’s bizarre founding mythology, which involves an intergalactic god named Xenu who brought his people to Earth 75 million years ago and stuffed them in a volcano. Telling Bashir he wouldn’t discuss “disgusting perversions” of the religion, Davis removed his microphone and stormed off the set.

Christian Bale Modeled ‘American Psycho’ Character Jason Bateman After Tom Cruise.
Posted on 25. Oct, 2009 by CSS.
British actor Christian Bale modeled his sociopath central character in the big screen thriller American Psycho after couch jumper Tom Cruise.
According to Mary Harron, who directed the 2000 film, Chrisitan came up with the idea of using Tom as inspiration for playing serial killer Patrick Bateman after seeing him appear on the Late Show with David Letterman.
“We talked about how Martian-like Patrick Bateman was, how he was looking at the world like somebody from another planet, watching what people did and trying to work out the right way to behave,” Harron told The Courier Mail this week.
“And then one day he called me and he had been watching Tom Cruise on David Letterman, and he just had this very intense friendliness with nothing behind the eyes, and he was really taken with this energy,” she said.

Katie Holmes ‘ELLE’ Cover Girl November 2009
Posted on 07. Oct, 2009 by CSS.
Tom Cruise is just a pint-sized fashion bug. When it comes to head turning fashions, Katie Holmes
enlists the assistance of her movie star hubby.
“Tom has great taste,” the 30-year-old actress says of the 47-year-old in the November issue of Elle Magazine.
Along with being outspoken on Scientology, Tom has also been known to offer up his thoughts on Katie’s apparel.
“He usually likes everything [I wear], but sometimes I’ll walk out and he’ll say, ‘I think that dress might be wearing you. You don’t need that.’”
Katie’s Favorite Designers: “I love Alaïa, for sure. Stella McCartney. I like Ralph Lauren because I feel like it’s very American, and I’m pretty all-American, from Ohio,” Katie said when asked which designers she loves. “Isabel Marant and a new designer, Sari Gueron.”
Katie On Family: “In my own life, my whole world really revolves around family…..I do what I need to do, but it’s like, ‘How is everybody else doing?’ And it’s wonderful for me as an actress to put some of that into a character.”
Katie On Movies: “It can be any genre. I even like vampire movies – they just have to be well done. I want to believe in the characters. The minute it starts to feel not real, I’m not interested.”

Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes White House Correspondents Dinner
Posted on 10. May, 2009 by CSS.
Making the trip to the nation’s capitol, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes hit up the White House Correspondents Dinner in Washington DC on Saturday night (May 9).
Joining a star-studded guest list, the “Top Gun” stud and his “Mad Money” wife kindly greeted fans and posed for pictures as they made their way inside the swanky affair.
TomKat joined fellow celebrities including Chace Crawford, Ed Westwick, Alicia Keys, Eva Longoria, Whoopi Goldberg and Sting, among many others turning up at the White House for the night’s festivities.
Last night comedian Wanda Sykes gave an extremely partisan performance at the Dinner, where she roasted just about everyone in Washington-you can see for yourself below:
The part sparking particular scorn would be in the second video when Wanda bashes Rush Limbaugh as an extra terrorist in the 9/11 tragedies.

Suri Cruise Headed To New Village Academy Scientology School
Posted on 13. Apr, 2009 by CSS.
Suri’s going to school…Scientology school that is. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are sending their daughter Suri to the Scientology-funded institution launched by pals Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith in 2008.
For $12,000 a year, The Church of Scientology’s New Village Academy in Los Angeles features a staff of scientologists training students in the study of technology.
A informant with Britain’s Daily Mail says: “The children have a lot of responsibilities from a very young age. The school is particularly strict about nutrition, demanding a low-carb, low-sodium and low-sugar organic diet. Katie is understandably a little anxious about being separated from Suri.”
Umm… their daughter is only 3! I know Tom Cruise is in this massive hurry to create this little super genius cruisebot, but it all just seems really intense for a child so young!

Katie Holmes Is Reportedly Choosing Family Over Career
Posted on 11. Apr, 2009 by CSS.
Every week, Katie Holmes is one of two things, according to the tabloids: she’s either already knocked up, or she’s refusing to grant Tom his desire for another child. This week, has thrown us a curve ball by reporting that Katie was previously against the prospect of another child, but that she is now considering the possibility.
Katie Holmes was glowing as she had a late afternoon lunch with her daughter, Suri, at Cristoni Pizzeria in Beverly Hills. While Suri nibbled on pasta bolognese and a slice of cheese pizza, Katie chatted on her cell phone with a friend – and broke some very big news.
“She said, ‘I’ll be pregnant this year for sure,’” Sokol Aliaj, who was sitting next to Katie, tells In Touch. Then she said, “Tom can’t wait!”
Although a rep denies the story, as Tom and Katie prepare for Suri’s third birthday on April 18, they had double reason to celebrate. According to a close source, Katie couldn’t decide if she wanted to focus on her career or her family, but finally came to the conclusion that she was ready to add to their family.
“It’s like a huge weight has been lifted from Katie’s shoulders,” the source says. “She thought she would focus on acting for a few years, but she really loves being a mom.”
After Katie wed Tom in 2006, her career slowed a bit. But she recently completed a successful run on Broadway in All My Sons and was eager to keep up the momentum. She was so happy being onstage, an insider explains. Tom knew that Katie was excited about working on her new movie, The Extra Man, but he had a long talk with her and told her she might regret not being a stay-at-home mom someday. “He said acting will always be there for her some day, but she’d never get this time back,” the source adds. “And how awful it would be if she spends all her time working now that Suri’s at such a magical age. Suddenly, they’re older and they don’t need you anymore.”
-From In Touch
“She thought she would focus on acting for a few years, but she really loves being a mom.” That quote is completely insulting. Did it ever occur to anyone that Katie could do both – have a family AND a career?

Suri Cruise $1 Million Fine Arts Classes
Posted on 08. Apr, 2009 by CSS.
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are forking over fistfuls of cash–$1 million to be exact–on foreign language, art, and dance classes for their two-year-old daughter Suri.
“She is learning French and Spanish and has a tutor she sees once a week…..Piano and violin lessons are on the to-do list.”
The Valkyrie actor and his wife want Suri – who turns three on April 18 – to have a well-rounded upbringing and have committed themselves to grooming the tot to become the world’s next great child prodigy.
“Suri has shown a real love of dancing, so Tom and Katie are encouraging her as much as possible. She practices ballet, tap and modern dance for hours, nearly every day. She also has private gymnastics lessons and is learning soccer.”
A source close to the Cruises tells The National Enquirer: ‘It doesn’t matter what Suri is doing, Tom wants her to be able to do it better than any other child. All parents think their kids are special, but Tom and Katie firmly believe Suri is gifted.”
“….Tom and Katie just have to find time in Suri’s busy schedule!”
A few things come to mind when I read this story… One, it’s certainly nice to see that not everyone is being affected by the current state of the economy! Two, how in the world do Tom’s other two children feel about all this attention on Suri- wouldn’t it make them feel inadequate that they didn’t get that type of attention??

Tom Cruise & John Travolta "Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid" Remake In The Works
Posted on 06. Apr, 2009 by CSS.
Tom Cruise will reportedly team up with pal John Travolta in a remake of the 1960s western Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.
The surrogate father of Scientology plans to produce the remake through his United Artists Studio and is currently in talks with scriptwriters, a new report claims.
A source tells The Daily Mirror: “Butch and Sundance is a labor of love for Tom. He was eight years old when he saw the original and it made an impression that has stayed with him all his life. He can’t wait to get to work.”
Tom hopes to revive the role of Sundance–played by Robert Redford in the original film–while 55-year-old John is expected to play Cassidy.
The 46-year-old star even got the blessing of Paul Newman – who originally played the role of Cassidy in the film about a pair of lovable bank robbers–before he died of lung cancer last September, tattles tell the tab.
“It has been a pet project of his that has been on the back-burner for years. But now he’s ready to go, and will most likely happily eschew the enormous salary that he normally commands.”
