Ok, this might be a girl thing now…
Some of you boyz on the blog might not understand this, but I like Tom Cruise movies! I grew up with this guy. And I never agreed to this “special deal” he gets on the internet when it comes to his membership in the Church of Scientology. So I am glad he could go on Oprahs Winfrey’s show (which I do not watch, normally) and say something about the allegations. I mean, in the end, he is an actor, a father, a family man, and a Scientologist. No big deal. Check out his new website, www.tomcruise.com (doesn’t work somehow without the “www”).
Below is an article about it. Make up your own mind.
If you had to work during the show (like me) and misprogrammed your VCR (like me) there is a chance to watch it the part of last Friday online at redlasso.com.

Tom Cruise was featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show on Friday from his Telluride, Colorado home.
Cruise made national attention the last time he was on the show in May 2005. Cruise was on the set, jumping on the couch, professing his love for his new girlfriend, whom he did not mention by name. His girlfriend was later identified as Katie Holmes, who he married one month later.
This is part one of a two-part interview with Cruise on the Oprah Winfrey show.
Winfrey was welcomed to the Telluride, Colorado home with her own pair of personalized slippers.
Winfrey interviewed Cruise about his couch-jumping incident and his involvement with The Church of Scientology.
“That was a moment, and it was real, and I don’t know if I would (do it differently). I really don’t,” Cruise admitted about jumping on the couch.
“It’s a minority religion, and I think that sometimes people misinterpret [it],” he says about Scientology. “I think the best thing is for people to read about it themselves. I believe people have the right to choose what they believe in.
“The code of Scientologists says you respect the religious beliefs of others,” Cruise adds. “That’s part of being a Scientologist, and that’s who I am as a person.”

Louanne, you’re trivilalizing tom cruise being a scientologist. It IS a big deal obviously, otherwise why would there be this shit storm surrounding him? If it wasn’t a big deal in the eyes of the public, (who by the way pay to see his movies which made him be able to afford mansions in CO.) WHY would he feel the need to defend himself 3 years later, and play the victim…poor misunderstood tom?? Because what’s a big deal to tc is MONEY, and he’s clearly in trouble over at UA, the signs are all there.
He’s “best friends” with David M., and it’s being reported over and over in the media that this guy has beaten the shit out of a lot of people on a regular basis for YEARS. I’d say thats kind of a big deal..if you lay down wioth dogs you’re gonna get fleas
L, I am not “trivilalizing tom cruise being a scientologist”, I am treating him as what he is: an actor and producer of/in good movies. That’s all there is to it. He never was a spokesperson for the Church of Scientology (though some critics wanted that to be) and it was about time he shows this in life and action. As for money and so on: he earned several HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS with all his movies in the last 25 years and will probably never live long enough to spend it all. So, really, do you think he’s got money problems? I am curious what you find wrong with his new website. Wanna let me know?

I haven’t gone to the website and I don’t plan to. I don’t need to see a masterbation session starring tom cruise.
And your response that “He never was a spokesperson for the Church of Scientology ” is GLIB and it’s a downright LIE, you’re embarrassing and discrditing yourself with that comment

Show me the official site (Scientology) where he’s been assigned as spokesperson for the Church of Scientology and I’ll publically acknowledge it on XenuTV. Last I saw Karen Pouw was Public Relations. Guess you’re unfamiliar with our organizational structure, hmm?

Hold your horses. Seriously. You could get another heart attack and die.

Well I’ll admit I have only seen cruise in MI and I was underwhelmed with the whole movie.
But actually ‘Valkyrie’ looks like it’ll be good, its been a while since a non-typical historical hollywood movie came out, the subject and time period really interest me, its too bad it keeps getting shelved.
Louanne, whats wrong with you exactly? What is with your crazy comments? I could GET another heart attack??? One doesn’t GET heart attacks dear, and fyi, I’ve never HAD a heart attack, so really what ARE you talking about???
Pat, do you know the definition of spokesperson?
a person who speaks for another or for a group.
I think he falls into that catagory….he doesn’t get a paycheck for it like Pouw does, but….
the name says it all….
