With Toledo as Star witness, will TomKat sue?
Life & Style magazine, which first published the news of the split in their latest edition, says it stands by its story. Back in Holmes' home town of Toledo, Ohio, fri Stop the presses! Rewrite page one! New headline: "Toledo confirms it: TomKat together forever!" How could we, the evil rumor-mongering public, ever have doubted their love? For shame! ... Tom Cruise is reportedly threatening to sue acclaimed biographer Andrew Morton after discovering he has hired a gay porn star to shed light on his private life, according to one website report.
One day after news broke that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes had called it quits, a lawyer for Tom Cruise is saying they might sue the magazine that originally reported the rumor. "I will be sitting down with Tom in the next couple of days to discuss this story and ultimately it's his call as to whether we bring a lawsuit," Bert Fields told Star Magazine in an online article today. "But if it was up to me, I would sue."
Why stop there? More Cruise news
... South Park's controversial episode featuring Tom Cruise locking himself in a closet hits the air in Australia next week. The cartoon show aired the episode in the U.S. back in November. In the show, Cruise believes "Stan" is the reincarnation of Scientology guru L. Ron Hubbard. (Alas, Stan tells Cruise that Leonardo DiCaprio is a better actor!) Crushed, Cruise locks himself in Stan's closet. Does Cruise ever come out of the closet? Only time will tell.
... The political satire website Unconfirmed Sources is having its fun with the latest TomKat spat, reporting on its frontpage: ""Katie Holmes, who is Mr. Cruise's girlfriend, who he has seen naked, can barely walk from all the … uh … sex she's having with him."
... Katie Holmes makes daily trips into L.A. to fetch her morning coffee, but it's been weeks since the Tomster has gone with her, reports the National Ledger. Likewise, Tom was alone when spotted recently partying with Kanye West after his Feb. 6 show at an L.A. nightclub.
... The website, tomcruiseisnuts.com, recently ran a reader contest to "Name the Cruiser's Spawn." The eventual winners? If it's a girl, Brooke. If it's a boy, L. Ron.

What's wrong with him? In the 80's he seemed like a fairly normal, private person, and now, he's acting like an idiot.Oh wait, I need to retract that statement, or he's going to sue me next!

Is he really here that often? I'm not so sure. And I get the feeling that the Stuck in the 80s bloggers wouldn't be welcome within a 10-mile radius of His Royal Cruiseness.
