Paramount Pictures just announced that they are slashing funding to Tom Cruise's production company. Once one of their most lucrative deals, they sited Cruise's off-screen behavior as the reason for their decision.
So...does this mean that TomKat is real? Because this announcement definitely goes against the idea that this is a massive PR stunt. Bad news is good news only goes so far until the publicity machine turns against you. And threatens to bankrupt you, leaving you with nothing to support your fake baby and sham fiance.

Who's Laughing Now?

7 cat calls:
No, I think it's still a PR stunt. I imagine Katie, drugged and depressed, holding a bundle of filthy, stinky fake-baby rags against her chest, ALMOST ready to jump out the window and have the nearest papparazzo escort her to the nearest hospital. And all the while, Tom is laughing. LAUGHING! Because he is a crazy motherfucker.
Uh-oh. This all must put a major crimp in TC's plans to build his very own nation of spinny-eyed alien babies. Curses, Pinky--er, Katie. We must think of a NEW way to take over THE WORLD. Muahahahaha.
Maybe this will be when he announces his retirement from major Hollywood film roles to build his own Scientology nation. You know, Xanadu style.
i guess the 10 million dollars a year they got will now no longer be going to fund scientology and mabye be put into making better movies. one can only hope.
I was listening to an "analysis" of the situation this morning, and the general consensus is that Tom Cruise will likely not have much of a problem getting funding elsewhere. Apparently he still has the ability to make millions (even if it's less millions than he made before), though I have a hard time understanding how anyone could ever enjoy seeing Tom Cruise on a movie screen. Just the sight of him either creeps me out, makes me mad, or makes me feel sorry for Katie Holmes and wonder how the hell she got into this mess.
Some insiders are saying today that it's a sign that Hollywood has reached its breaking point on paying ridiculous salaries - recognizing that Tom Cruise isn't quite worth the high price and the high maintenance. I'm all for that. Frankly, I'd be just fine seeing fewer Hollywood stars have eight cars and three houses and 2,100 pairs of shoes.
But what would that do to MTV Cribs, if we no longer got to see houses with 2 pools, an indoor basketball court, home movie theaters, custom-designed walk-in closets, and 6 drop-down plasma TVs?
Oh right, diminish the Vomit Factor. I'm okay with that.
