Feb 15 2006Tom Cruise is still nuts
Reports are saying that Tom Cruise was acting strangely at a Kanye West concert at L.A.’s Avalon recently. Cruise “dangled off a nine-foot-high balcony” at the concert, according to the new issue of In Touch Weekly. He then complained “All these people are making me crazy. It’s too much!’” and, as onlookers “gasped in disbelief” he “climbed up cables to get away from the crowds.” Cruise made it up to the VIP balcony and reportedly “went nuts” when he heard his favorite songs from West. “ The mag also says that Cruise chatted with other concert-goers about Scientology. “He asked us what religion we were,” a source said. “He told us that Scientology changed his life and his fiancée’s life, and it could change ours, too.”
It must be great to be Tom Cruise. The world to him is like a big jungle gym, except without the creepy bearded guy nearby offering you money to show him your weiner. But I get the impression that practicing Scientology is like dating a group of transvestites: it costs a lot of money, is totally misleading, and in the end you find yourself surrounded by penises.
Thanks to the oddly passive-aggressive Joe for the tip.

That could be a deadly fall for someone Tom's height.
I also had no idea that Kanye West is a scientoligist. I'm pretty sure he has no idea as well. But if Tom goes to your concert, you automaticaly become one of em'. Someone better warn Paris before she goes on tour.

See he was trying to stage dive, realized he wasn't high enough, then got caught in the cable, decided to climb up with his superhuman strength and when he saw people there, he pulled a JW and started preaching, completely forgetting the great swan dive he was gonna do for the awesome hip-hop crowd.
I CANNOT see Tom Cruise at a KW concert, let alone surrounded by loads of Hip-hop type people (I'm not calling him a racist, but ya never know with these zealots).

What a stupid and irritating douche.
My 6 year old nephew acts more dignified than he does.

Recent tests on the bone and hair of Beethoven's remains have proven he went insane due to an immense ammount of lead poisoning.
Who's been feeding Tom paint chips?
6. PostAcidYouth - February 15, 2006 4:39 PM
Ahhh, Mr Cruise, scouting for new victims...I mean, converts...to attend to the Demon Seed.

How brainwashed does Katie Holmes have to be to put up with this sh*t?
8. Onrico - February 15, 2006 4:50 PM
I think scientology has made Cruise crazy. Seriously...he used to be a pretty normal guy...now, I don't think I'd want to hang out with him. "Errr...actually Tom, I'm busy tonight...yeah yeah...gotta wax that driveway again. You have fun tho, ok?"
9. Court - February 15, 2006 4:58 PM
Too bad Cruise is the creepy bearded guy, minus the beard of course.
10. Sheva - February 15, 2006 5:04 PM
The more you know about him, the worse it gets.....
Get out Katie, it's not cute anymore.
11. pookiedoo - February 15, 2006 5:11 PM
What they left out of the story is that Tom went on to smear feces all over the walls while humming "The Farmer in the Dell", followed by his head spinning and puking spilt pea soup everywhere.
12. maiira - February 15, 2006 5:13 PM
Court (#9), you've stolen my joke. Bastard.
Y'know, I always lose respect for celebrities who become Scientologists, and it's all because of this clown. I mean, even other Scientologists aren't nearly this deranged. What a douche bag.
But for what it's worth...wouldn't it be bizarre if Scientology turned out to be totally right?
13. Kevin - February 15, 2006 5:26 PM
That's the best description of Scientology that I've ever heard! Bravo!
14. saveferris - February 15, 2006 5:30 PM
i'm pretty much positive that sex with tom cruise would be like recreating the rape scene from rosemary's baby, complete with strange scientologist onlookers and chanting.
15. tomdabomb - February 15, 2006 5:40 PM
I wonder how many times Katie has woken in the middle of the night to find herself stuck to the ceiling just above her bed with Tom standing looking up at her laughing demonically with his huge white invisalign horse teeth...
16. that-dog-is-shifty-eyed - February 15, 2006 5:41 PM
Simple problem with a simple cause: Everyone knows Tom Cruise is friggin' gay (not that there's anything wrong w/that), always has been. Scientology has "cured" him of this "affliction" that might have ruined his career. Unfourtunately this latent flamboyent (borderline schizophrenic)behavior is popping out in all the wrong places, like on this planet. But that is okay, he will get his own planet soon and we will all be safe to watch Dawson's reruns again.
17. Spindoc - February 15, 2006 5:55 PM
SO you're saying that anybody can go to a concert, dangle off a balconey and climb up cables to the VIP room and not get kicked out? Must be nice to be famous.
18. sikofdis - February 15, 2006 5:56 PM
That paragraph on comparing scientology to dating a bunch of transvestites may be the funniest, most spot on thing I've ever read on this site! Superficial Rules!!!
19. azcoyote - February 15, 2006 5:57 PM
Seems real enought to me. Cruise loves Kanye.
http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2006/02/kanye_west_and_.html
And Kanye is doing a cover of the MI theme.
20. azcoyote - February 15, 2006 6:00 PM
And the actual story...
Forget couch-jumping, during Kanye West's performance Tom Cruise climbed up onto a balcony, using ropes to pull himself up, to escape the crowds. There he joined West's friends and family to watch the rest of the concert. Cruise, sans fiancée Katie Holmes, raised his hands in approval when Kanye sang the line "Holler we want pre-nup!" In fact, he was ecstatic throughout the performance, yelling out "Wow" and "Un[freaking] believable!" Tom's enthusiasm was rewarded with a shout out from the rapper, who will be recording the theme song for the up-coming Mission Impossible III, the latest in the MI franchise which stars Cruise.

This f-er is getting totally whacko now. I thought he was whack before but seriously...

Haiku for Tom:
Scary little man
Pod wife and test tube baby
Publicity stunt
22. Jonboy in SF - February 15, 2006 6:20 PM
OMG HollyJ, you totally crack me up!
But ok:
1. This HAD to be a publicity stunt for MI3 - no one does "crazy publicity" like our boy Tom.
2. How brainwashed does Katie have to be? Did any of you see "First Daughter?" Question answered.
23. hafaball - February 15, 2006 6:32 PM
But HollyJ he doesn't have a movie...oh wait...MI:3 hehe, :P but could it be? Gangsta rap and Scientolgy are finally coming together? This is a dream come true... :o
24. Darby - February 15, 2006 6:38 PM
I haven't seen a haiku in years and that was the best way to sum up Tom ever! Kudos HollyJ!! Ya I think he has gone too far down Loony Road that he cannot come back.
25. xAgonyxScenex - February 15, 2006 7:08 PM
Doesn't suprise me at all
26. tis GLAM - February 15, 2006 7:13 PM
....this wasfunny before but now its just scary. When that baby is born Kate better run and never look back.
27. tis GLAM - February 15, 2006 7:14 PM
KANYE WEST IS NOT A "GANGSTA RAPPER"
that was a really silly remark. if you listen to kanye west's lyrucs then you'd see its the exact opposite of gangsta rap.
therefor, you're comment sucked.
28. tis GLAM - February 15, 2006 7:19 PM
#3 i dont think he's very much racist. his adopted son is black (god save him from Tom's insanity) and he's good friends with Jamie Foxx and Oprah and all that, and he's always talking too damn much about he loves the hip-hop community and CRAP.
am i defending this crazy nut? omfg give me a cigarette!
29. boogerman - February 15, 2006 7:29 PM
Xenu, take Tom now!
30. eyespy27 - February 15, 2006 7:41 PM
tom cruise is clearly the wacko jacko of today.
i don't think it will be too much longer before he is leaving the house with a rag covering his face.
of course, it will be a cum rag.
31. a concerned fan - February 15, 2006 7:54 PM
Tom cruise is a sociopath. Nothing more needs to be said.
32. tis GLAM - February 15, 2006 8:12 PM
imagine how he must be in bed with Katie Holmes? all hyper and crazy like a chihuaha
33. playahater101 - February 15, 2006 8:30 PM
I can totally see him dangling off a balcony. The similarity to Michael Jackson is getting more and more clear with each story. Next we'll hear Katie giving up the kid to Tom and the poor kid will be wearing a mask to shield it from us evil humans.
34. thekief4 - February 15, 2006 8:37 PM
He probably just misses Goose.
35. ESQ - February 15, 2006 8:40 PM
Tom Cruise is the ultimate party foul. Everywhere he goes he insults inanimate objects while Katie just sits back all doe-eyed gushing while saying, "Oh, Tom."
36. KissMyIS350 - February 15, 2006 8:46 PM
He was yelling the lyrics from the balcony: 'and if you're fucking with Tom then you betta be paid...you know why? It takes too much to touch 'em, from what I heard his baby's donated by Busta, my best friend said he stole Katie from Usher, I don't care what none of y'all say, he's still nutty.' Okay, so it doesn't rhyme, but hey, Tom's rapping skills aren't very good either.
37. M@ce - February 15, 2006 8:59 PM
Xenu the Imaginary personally told me that paying homeless guys to,'spit-shine my e-meter' doesn't make me gay. So there!
Tom
Tommy go jumpy jump on the couchy now!
38. fame is funny - February 15, 2006 9:38 PM
now all the scientologists in the house say hooooooooo...
if only...god...if ONLY tom had stage dove from the balcony like eddie vedder in the even flow video...but everyone pulled back like on son in law with pauly shore. don't lie, you saw it too...

Must make effort to show human emotions. Must appear normal and not isolated and paranoid. I've noticed humans like music, yes music! And both whites and negroes enjoy Kanye. That's it ! I, Tom Cruise, must show everyone how much I to like music and Kanye. Helloooo. Look at me up here climbing! See how I'm freaking out? I LIKE it, you see! The music! Just like you! I'm NORMAL !

44. AmberDextrose - February 16, 2006 5:17 AM
Guys, guys, you're getting it ALL wrong.
Tom is 'undercover' in this cerrrazy Scientology thing. He was supposed to be simply infiltrating them but being an Ack-Tor he is taking his method to far and out-weirding the weirdos.
However all will come right when any potential Scientology converts will be put off by his high-profile lunacy.
In a grand finale he plans to rescue all the Xenu Slaves by dangling from a helicopter or something. You wait and see!
That's actually a bomb hidden in Katie's stomach - it's all part of his cunning plan.
45. Lavinia the Vainglorious - February 16, 2006 6:21 AM
Its been established that Tom Cruise likes to climb on things and jump around a lot(he may think it creates the illusion of height). Didn't everyone get that memo?
The true weirdness lies in what he was doing at a Kanye West concert. Kanye West has a Jesus complex inversely proportional to Tom's height. Is Tom going to start a Jesuit Scientology sect? Delicious.

51. Xanthia - February 16, 2006 10:05 AM
TC is so insane I can't see anything that breathes having sex with him.
Therefore, I can only determine that all this is caused by sperm back-up that has reached such a high level that it has blown his brain up.
I can wait for the picture posted when it reaches critical mass and his head explodes and there is nothing but teeth and sperm everywhere.... maybe then Katie can get the cold sore taken care of.

SO wierd
57. bakismaki - February 16, 2006 8:37 PM
I hate how a lot of people think all hip hop artists are gangsta rappers. That's like saying all rock music is heavy metal. It's like if someone called the members of a band like Fall Out Boy metalheads. Come on.

Screwed up my haiku
Didn't count the syllables
Wasn't a haiku
Haiku was all wrong
Was absent on haiku day
Made an F in class
Don't write haiku's drunk
The syllables may be wrong
Critic was polite
Tom, Katie and baby
Living together happily ever after
What a crock of poo-poo
Stranger things have happened

62. gogoboots - February 18, 2006 10:25 PM
Tom Cruise is just getting way to creepy. Kanye West should have had him removed from the show in fact, since Tom was scaring everyone in the crowd apparently.

I don't know if there's any truth to this, but I recently heard that Tom Cruise ate soup backstage IMMEDIATELY BEFORE the "couch jumping" incident. Think this has something to do with it? ..i'm suspicious...
