Aug 23 2006Tom Cruise fired for being crazy

tom_cruise_fired.jpg

The Wall Street Journal reports that Paramount Pictures has ended its 14-year relationship with Tom Cruise's production company because "his recent conduct has not been acceptable to Paramount."

"As much as we like him personally," the Viacom Inc. chairman told The Wall Street Journal, "we thought it was wrong to renew his deal." Redstone estimated that Cruise's off-screen behavior cost his latest movie, "Mission: Impossible III," $100 million to $150 million in ticket sales, even as he praised the film as "the best of the three movies" in the action series. "It's nothing to do with his acting ability, he's a terrific actor," Redstone said. "But we don't think that someone who effectuates creative suicide and costs the company revenue should be on the lot."

I can understand Lindsay Lohan getting scolded by the studio but Tom Cruise? Sure he's loony, but he's also Tom Fucking Cruise. He makes three phone calls and he owns half of Korea. He's as big a celebrity as humanly possible so the fact that he lost his job means the entire world is finally going insane. It was a good run, but we might as well just pack up our stuff and move to the moon.

TCLTC!

ahh the pain of being seconddd

They're just finding this out??? Please! We've known he was a nutcase all along.

FREE KATIE!!!

Paramount will be sorry when Xenu shows up in his spaceship and kills everyone who is against Tom Cruise...

Paramount is correct - MI III was a very good movie, but people didn't come because of Tom Cruise. In hollywood you are only as hot as your last movie, which makes him lukewarm at best.

I wonder if Tom will be on Dancing With The Stars by this time next year. I hear the distinct sound of a career taking a nosedive off to the west.

Remember the good old days of 'Cocktail' and 'Risky Business'?
It's sad that he has wasted his talent. Another celebrity wash-up due to an enlarged ego and an equally big head.

about fucking time, that's right you beootch, give yourself a hand, all those bashing that we do around here is finally paying off.

TOM STUPID CRUISE SHOULD BE BANNED FROM ANYOTHER STUDIO, HE IS WORN OUT, I CAN'T WATCH HIS MOVIES, HE IS A COMPLETE MORON.

sumner redstone isn't a company, he's the head of paramount, viacom, etc.

You mean my hopes of a "Days of Thunder 2" are gone! Arghhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TC may indeed LTC but TC sure doesn't LTC.

sorry, he's the head of viacom which owns paramount

14th!

Stupid ass post racers. Get a job.

Interesting prespective take by the superificial poster...

I actually agree, it's hardly shocking MI3 wasn't a blockbuster, neither was MI2 really. It's not like they didn't make enough money off it. They should've just renegotiated his contract-not cut him off entirely.

How much did "Just My Luck" pull in? If Lohan and Looney Mel-Jewhater-Gibson can still work in Hollywood this seems overly drastic.I don't like the egomanic but that's the point I'm making.

People go to see a Tom Cruise movie, not a movie that happens to star Tom Cruise, so they're not going to go if his charms (which are totally lost on me) don't work any more.

First Mel *spit* Gibson (who at least can act when he chooses to), then Tom Cruise (who can't). Here's hoping both careers remain in the toilet forever.

Some other studio will pick him up again. Warners, Universal and Sony comes to mind.

http://www.BadBreakups.net

I think the Scientologists already have dibs on the moon. We'll have to pick a new place from which to watch the apocalypse.

I think he's a natural to replace Chef on South Park

Yea.."As much as we like him..."...we think he's nuttier than squirrel shit. ha

Sumner Redstone is about 185 and I cannot even imagine that they still allow that man to make decisions, other than choosing soup or salad with a vanilla ensure drink for lunch.

Even Tom's over-compensating ego must receive this as a wake-up call. The only thing that could save him now is to renounce Scientology, claim to have been brainwashed, and beg forgiveness from us all. We all know that will never happen. I predict he will "move" behind the camera more, producing rather than starring. All kidding aside, how fucked up does this guy have to be to blow it (err, I meant his career). Fuck it - TCLTC.

TCLTC! TCLTC!

http://www.funderpants.com

They just got creeped out too much when he'd drag Katie along with him everywhere and she'd just stare at them blankly the entire time. That and the fact that they discovered the 30 ft. phallus Tom worships in the moonlight. TCLTC

About fucking time

http://www.celebslam.com

...First, I would like to clarify by saying

T C L T C .....

having said that.....the moon is not possible...Tom "TCLTC" Cruise already owns it. and I fully agree with #19 Binky...yes...he would be a splendid new Chef on South Park...but instead of being a 'ladies man' he can be a man's man *wink wink*

Having said ALL THAT.... I hope all the other studios NOT bank on him....cos he's a moron and all his money is going toward brainwashing and propagating the ideology that is scientology.....he will swoop down and suck the souls of all of Hollywood's startlets and make them his strange alien concubines.....

Tom TCLTC Cruise is fucked and I will not invest one red cent by watching him or his movies to promote is *queer troll vision upon and unsuspecing free world....

KEEP ON ROCKIN' IN A FREE WORLD!!!!

* peace out, not homophobic...just Cruise-aphobic BIG DIFFERENCE

Ah, sweet, delectable schadenfraude....

I love letting it linger, like chocolate melting on my tongue....

Yesssssssssss!!!

It's about fucking time Hollywood stopped kissing this douchebag's ass. Unfortunately, Tom has more money than God so can just start his own production company and hire himself, just like Mel Jewson. It won't change the fact that people still won't come out to see his "work", it's just too hard to suspend your imagination THAT far when watching any of his films. He could make the best movie in the world, and I would not be able to watch it because TCLTC. I can't "suspend" my disgust for him long enough to watch anything he's in, not even the old stuff. Fucking dickhead.

Sumner Redstone, keep your cornhole tight, Xenu is coming.

he not only insulted the anti depressant popping public, but he chose to do it WHILE he was promoting his film. And then he is so vane to think that splashing his stupid "made up" personal life all over the tabloids would get the numbers for the movie. Somthing wrong with that picture? duh, how stupid is he?

Best news I have heard all week. Its about time he get knocked off his high horse. I hope it sends out the message that even Tom Cruise has some responsibilty when it comes to public relations.

hollywood is notorious for being unfair to gay midgets....

@11 We may not be able to see "Gays Of Thunder 2" (not that I would want to see any of his movies) but they are coming out with a "Rain Man" sequel. It's gonna be called "It's Raining Men" and Dustin Hoffman is replaced with Knight Riders own "The Hoff"..............

Of course TC is saying that he & some investors left Paramount to fund their own company. Hm I wonder who is lying here. I vote TC!!!

31 that's funny

I bet there's a lot more weirdness going on than the general public knows about. TC has made almost 1 billion dollars collectively for Paramount. There has to be some really, really weird shit going on that extends beyond jumping on couches for them to drop him. Good for Paramount for drawing a line.

I know he's gotten weird, but does anyone think TC has a legitimate mental health issue? Really, all jokes aside, something is not right.

Haha weird scientologist

In related news, to combat the current bad press Tom has announced the formation of his own production company and two exciting new projects. The production company will purportedly be titled Tom Cruise Loves The Cinema, or TCLTC for short, and is a partnership between Mr. Cruise and every other practicing Scientologist in Hollywood. The first film from this studio is sure to court controversy, as it is tentatively entitled "The Passion of the Xenu" and involves volcanic prisons, the evil spirits of dead alien crimelords, and possessed cavemen. The other project is a reality show that's certain to be a winner. Set to air on the Oxygen network, Cruise Control features cameras following Tom and Kate as they struggle to find success in life, love and work while raising L. Ron Hubbard's long dreamt antichrist.

35 I am in total agreement.

37 I love it.

I feel bad for him. It must suck to have such bad approval ratings after all those years of success. Not that I care or anything, I think he needs mental help. Poor Katie!

What celebrity isn't wacko?

i think its a smart move. Cruise is only going to get weirder and his pictures have been on the decline, both artistically and financially, and he costs too fucking much, let him finance his own shit.

Now's Katie's chance to say, You got FIRED? You fucking loser. I'm outta here! And pack up that empty bassinette and all the unused layette sets and haul her zombie ass back to Ohio. RUN KATIE! RUN!!!!!

Seriously, they finally figured it out, I don't care how popular, rich or what country he owns, TOME CRUISE SUCKS...
He's ugly and has a big nose...

Tom is becoming like crazy Gary Busey and look what happened to his career.

http://www.holisticwisdom.com

He's not a gay midgit, he's a vertically challenged mysogynist. And his strangeness is only eclipsed by Michael Jackson's.

Well now they've gone and done it. Hollywood has angered Xenu for the last time. Prepare to perish in a scientology nighmare of pain and agony you godless sodomites!

FINALLY. I fucking hate Tom Cruise with a passion. I mean he was ok in his youth... but now hes just a tiny impotent nutcase. And he loves the cock, so that pretty much settles it.

Cruise and Wagner ended all negotiation when it was discovered that Redstone does not TLC - don't forget TCLTC.

Finally, a better version of the "we think you're weird" slap in the face. Really Tom, it's not us - it's you.

Where's that Sherryco? I feel cunty today.

ahhhhhhh VINDICATION for all of us!

37 you are briliant :)

You're mocking TC for being fired? dude is worth quarter of a billion $$$s.

Don't get me wrong he is fond of the cock but when you got that much money you can be as gay as you like. (no Lance Bass)

Bravo to Paramount for taking a stand against utter insanity. He is a celebrity and he's done a lot for the studio in the past, but his recent works really haven't been grossing the kinds of money they should have considering his star power, and the negative publicity surrounding him can't be good for the studio.

The question is, is this the end for Tom Cruise? Is this the beginning of a long spiral into obscurity and/or shame? One can only hope.

I for one cannot wait for Tom's Mel Gibson moment to come! Hey, come to think of it, is Sumner Redstone Jewish?

Does anyone else see the irony in the name of the movie "Cocktail?" We should have seen his fondness for the phallus long ago I'm afraid.

"Gays of Thunder" made me spit some of my lunch on my keyboard, and scared my office mates.

TC does indeed LTC, but isn't this the same company that gives us all those reality gems on VH1 and MTV? I have a feeling, when discussing his next $50 million project, he began jumping erractically on Sumner's half million dollar Victorian antique coach screaming "You're glib!!! You're glib!!!". Then when the old man, horrified, passed out, TC decided to love the geezer's cock. I vote for a VMA moment, where he kisses Katie on stage, ala Wacko and Elvis' daughter.

It's about time somebody called this pompous prick on his delusions. "Oh, Scientology, I will give you millions of dollars if you make me feel smart and worthy of commenting on issues other than "how to look cool (as opposed to short) on screen""

who gives a shit if he is "Tom Fucking Cruise," it doesn't mean he can do whatever the fuck he wants. he can't make 3 phone calls and own Korea, stupid idiot. i think you're insane, Cruise is a motherfucking idiot and so are you.

YOu guys act like its all over for this guy. Remember God asks this guy for a C-note spot. Besides, who the hell would want to keep acting when you can sit back and watch the money pile up bank rolling movies?

Ah, yes, the good old days of public humiliation of "celebrity actors" are back. Love it. Tom and Lindsay should go have a cocktail and whine.

I think the SUPERFICIAL guy got this one wrong.

Name the last REAL hit that Tom Cruise has had that was a hit BECAUSE Tom Cruise was in it. (You can't count War of the Worlds, that wa a Speilberg movie too and was a familiar and popular story. But think back, Minority Report, Vanilla Sky etc... those were all Tom Cruise Vehicles and did not do well. MI3 which was the third movie of a very popular series didn't even make back it's money domestically. He isn't even close to being as bankable as he used to be.

Additionally I think that the studios took notice of the support that the producer who skull-fried Lindsay Lohan got from articles and the blogs. I think the studios are realizing that we hate these crazy freaks as much as they do and they can stop coddling them so much.

Oh, and also, Tom Cruise gave Summer Redstone an EXTREAMLY mediocre blow job and now he is paying the price for his laziness.

Your uppance shall come!

The bitter irony is he really is crazy and the ONLY thing that's going to save him (or, at least help him) is some good, old fashioned, crazy pills. In all seriousness, though, he displays signs of, amongst other things, bi-polar disorder. Jumping on the couch on Oprah was the beginning of that being shown to the public. That was "an extreme high". The dark day when he called Matt Lauer (who's also a dickhead) "glib" was another example, probably an "extreme low". He's manic. Katie and everyone clse to him already know this; it's just now becoming more evident to everyone else. I truly, wholeheartedly feel for Katie...errr....Kate, and hope she escapes from him soon. Fuck the baby, if it even exists. Just go.

I, on the other hand, have no sympathy for Katie. She was around him long enough to see his psychotic tendencies, and she ignored all the billions of little red flags. If she truely did see bi-polar disorder behavior, and knowing that he would never admit to it nor seek medical help, then that's her own damn fault.

yeah, unfortunately, Tom ain't going no where. This is just going to increase his weirdness and now he's going to go on a mad soapboxing frenzy about scientology again. well, at least we have months of stories to look forward to.

Tom's next mission is to open a chain of restaurant appropriately named "TCLTC".

When the Celebrity Centre hears he's been hiding $100M in hedge funds, they're going to want their cut.

#63 - What will they serve aside from hot dogs, cucumbers and bananas?

#64

I'm not sure, but I know the slogan would be something like "let us cook your sausage for you"

His craziness was obviously an excuse for Redstone to boot his ass. Imagine making a 150 million dollar movie with Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner accounting for half the budget. Then breaking even while he scoops up the profit. I'd fire him too.

http://wampoon.com/

oh fuck yeah. awesome. finally. god save us from the cruise. i heard his baby is mutated, too. in my head i'm picturing one of those cheesy montages from "american Idol" where the loser gets a parting montage set to that song "had a bad day". okay, tom. nice try. good knowing ya. now get out.

It just wont be the same when TC drops to his knees and starts kissing and tounging a 14" black strap-on that's wrapped around his zombie eyed wife's waist. They'll probably cut to commercial at the moment of anal insertion.

#3 "free katie!"

yes! that is the new mantra! FREE KATIE!

For the love of God its not the world that is going insane it is Tom the midget cult boy Cruise who has gone insane. Paramount will no longer let the lunatic run the asylum!!!!!!! YAYYYYYYYY!!!!

#60 - Exactly what I was thinking. I think he's definitely manic-depressive and certainly shows signs of bi-polar disorder which is a serious illness that, if left untreated can really wreak havoc on personal relationships, not to mention the finances. But he's got a ways to go before his finances are impacted.

there are lot's of celebrity restaurants. this one could be Tom Cruise's House of Tube Steak

Gay!

Gay rhymes with Clay.

Why the hell is anyone defending Tom! Ecspecially this site. Are you in the cult too? Are you gay? You like Tom?

the world has officially ended. now im going to crawl into a black hole and die due to my anguish and despair.

Tom is a goldmine even with the craziness & all the people who are sick of him. Just his fan base in Japan is enough to keep him on the payroll.

The studio has found out something so shocking that they obviously think is so horrendous that they are cutting ties with him. I'm betting that in a month or so we will all learn that the baby is adopted & the pregnancy faked, the baby isn't his, or some other thing that is so bizarre that they were forced to do this.

I mean if Hugh Grant can get a bj from a skank ho, Eddie Murphy can give rides to trannies, Mel Gibson can spout Hitler-like epitaphs at cops, and ANYONE can have a sex tape then whatever they found on Tom has got to be HUGE!

half of Korea? what the fuck does that mean, douchebag?

#78

it means that Tom is one rich mother fucking alien lover, placenta eating meat-rag. okay!!!

Oh come on, superficial.. are you kidding me? We should all kiss Tom's crazy ass just because he was in Top Gun? Get over your man crush, already.

On a less annoyed note, I'm loving the term "creative suicide."

I'm no Hollywood expert, but gotta call bullshit on this one. If Paramount was making tons of money off Tom Cruise, he could drink the blood of children and it wouldn't matter to them. However it happened, whether TC and company decided to bail or Paramount decided he's no longer worth $20 million a picture, the idea that TC's behavior is what turned them off is highly amusing to me. Being weird and hopping around like a monkey is no barrier to stardom. I'm sure it's all about money. He wants more and they don't want to pay him or whatever but neither side wants to make that public (or is afraid they'll be sued if they do). This shit is like a divorcing couple. You don't know who to believe, so you're better off not believing either one. Redstone and Cruise are both a couple of tools. Rich tools. Screw the both of 'em. And jack up the inheritance tax.

If he would've only let us see Suri...


59- jane, can I use that pic as my screen
wallpaper?


73&74- Hi Hopeless_

HSLTC too!!

Why you make fun of korea? korea great nation you say korea poor? korea one of richest on earth 3 phone call and no one buy. you not buy korea. you not even buy half Busan. korea never sell to whiteman. you racist for calling korea poor.

members of the tomtomclub are rallying round the has-been actor, his etherized girlfriend and his alien baby claiming this is all a transparent transcendental attempt to defrock the king of swingin' scientology..it makes me cry.. crocodile tears.. he should just be glad he no longer has to work with those horrid non-believers.. maybe he'll get a job at this office..

So is Comedy Central allowed to air the trapped in the closet episode now? They should just have a weeklong marathon of that episode, if so.

The Closet episode was GOLD

82 Sure, knock yourself out.

Now he can stay home with Suri!! He can watch Cocktail on TNT...14 times. He will feel like putting a bullet through his head....15 times. He starts noticing that, "Wow, Katie's eyes do droop...a LOT....and damn, she's a woman! TCLTC TCLTC TCLTC TCLTC

Fire the Alien. He's a stupid fuck anyway! let him buy Fuckin Korea... then he can all the Katie Homely school girls he wants.

It's about time someone kicked this legend-in-his-own-mind MOFO to the curb....no one gives a rat's ass about him.
He's not even an actor...he's just a stunt man with words.

I've seen better acting and more drama from my Labrador shitting out a peach pit than from his ugly mug.
fuck him--he's a has been

Restaurant Daily Special for Tom?

It would HAVE to be the Libtard Salad with freshly jerked Tom on top!

Cracked pepper anyone??

As I posted on another site.
He is no longer on Paramount's short list.
He never could act. I don't go to his movies because of it.
Save Katie! TCLTC!!!

Hahahahahaha karma's a bitch asshole, now go and choke on Xenu's dick.

can someone please tell me what TCLTC means?

He has enough $$$ to live in luxury for the rest of his life. He probably said: "Katie honey, not to worry... everything is in divine & perfect scientology order" & it probaby is lololol
http://www.FinancesForever.com

I can't believe you guys are even giving him the time of day to comment and give him more attention than he is already out to get...

But while I poked my little nose in here... For fucks sake TC buy a 500 session card for the price of 499 to a psychiatrist and get some fucking lithium into your system!!!!!!

He's ruined Katie (NO fuck off TC her name is not Kate) Holmes. She had alot of potential, but now she's just a sad loser and always will be, she can never escape his tarnish no matter how nice she is trying to be by saving him. The man makes me want to throw things!!!

#94 - Tom Cruise Loves The Cock. TCLTC. and he does, he really, really does.

Anyone else but me noticing the slowness, freezing up, and sluggish 'Fish site behavior? Since this latest story broke and we started bashing on TCLTC? Fuck, man.....just how powerful is this Xenu? To mess with the server? How creepy. Oh, BTW...I had to try and post this twice as the first time it kicked me off. Thought it was my computer but everything else, ever other site, everything is fine. Mind-fucking scientologist freaks. Pure evil.

Ah, happiness. My mean husband refused to make me a cup of tea on my birthday, but you guys make up for it totally with a morning cup of acid every day.

TCLTC (Tom Cruise Loses The Contract)

He reminds me of my eldest bro who I swear is schizophrenic. Only my bro is a likeable, if annoying, nutter. Who is straight. Hm, not sure where I'm going with this...

TCLTC...TCLTC...TCLTC...TCLTC
94#. We were gonna call him:
Mr Midget Sized Top-Gun-was-my-Best-Film is on Extremely Good Terms with the Phallus in General and Kate's Strap-On in Specific. (MMSTGWMBFIOEGTWTPIG&KSOIS) but TCLTC had a better ring it to.
(And when she's too busy zombied out and crying in the corner cos of her non-existent baby he rubs his crotch in a friendly on other men.)

...in a friendly *way* that should be. before the spelling Nazis come get me...

Who wants to bet that Penelope Cruz has gotten several thank you gifts from one N. Kidman for breaking up her marriage?

#101 top call

#98 HAPPY BIRTHDAY GF, hope you had a nice day and your husband made up for it later shaaazaaam

#97 - Yes I was having the same problem earlier only on Superfish when I was trying to post earlier. Scientologists are fucking powerful!!!

fuck I say "earlier" alot.


TCLTC (Tom Cruise Licks Tiny Children)

Who is Xenu?

Well you act crazy and you'll lose contracts and have guys like me design shirts of your spectacles:

I couldn't be any happier if I won the lottery
crack open the bolly, it's time to celebrate

His producing partner reminds me of Linda Tripp.

I didn't go and see MI III because MI II sucked so many balls, and not in an entertaining way. It was one of the most forgettable (without intoxication playing a key ;) ) movie's I've seen.

That and going to the movies costs too much to bother with films that aren't spectacular (like Snakes on a Plane and Clerks II!! That was worth it.) :D

"Abuse of words has been the great instrument of sophistry and chicanery, of party, faction, and division of society." - John Adams

meh....he probably doesn't care

I didnt know it was a crime to be happy! For christ sakes give the guy a break already, If I was stuck with Nichole Kidmans skeletor body for 14 or 15 years and then found someone MUCH better, I would be jumping on couches too!
