Katie Holmes may have fallen for it, but Tom Cruises sci-fi seduction technique scared the bejeezus out of Scarlett Johansson, a source close to the actress says. Weeks before he began wooing his brainwashed bride-to-be, Cruise made repeated phone calls to the 19-year-old starletwho was then set to co-star with him in Mission Impossible IIIimploring her to meet him at the Scientology Celebrity Center in L.A. But when the actress finally agreed, the supposedly professional get-together took an oddly spiritual turn. [Cruise] took me into this room, which was stifling hot, and was showing me all kinds of info about joining the church, Johansson told our source. The whole time he didnt even offer me a cookie! Instead, he offered her dinnerand a glimpse into the Twilight Zone.
After two hours of proselytizing, our source says Cruise opened a door to reveal a second room full of upper-level Scientologists who had been waiting to dine with the pair, at which point the cool-headed ingenue politely excused herself. Soon after the meeting, Johansson dropped out of Mission Impossible III, reportedly due to scheduling conflicts. Asked about the incident, Johanssons momager, Melanie Johansson, referred Radar to a publicist, who did not return calls or emails seeking comment. After striking out with Johansson, Cruise reportedly turned his attentions to 24-year-old Jessica Alba, 22-year-old Kate Bosworth, and 18-year-old Lindsay Lohan, before settling on the 26-year-old Holmes. As far we know, Cruises War of the Worlds co-star, Dakota Fanning, was never under consideration.
Well there's a new word.
Thank God (yes, God, not the aliens) that she got away from him--sheesh!
It's true.
Reps for tons of young actresses have said Cruise went after their girl as well.
From an mtv.com article on "momagers"
It's from a gossip site, but I'd bet that it's true. Similar to a blind item on Page Six today. Don't you love how Cruise is always talking about how happy he is--happy and brainwashed.
Interesting - shows I'm no insider. :)
I had to Google who these gals were; that's how out of touch I am, LOL! Dakota Fanning is like, 11 years old. Geez!
He also tried the same thing with Jennifer Garner before Affleck thratened to beat him up.
Some day the truth will out that Cruise is actually 4 FEET TALL! I know its freaky deaky isn't it? His movie contracts always stipulate that every set be scaled down to make him look normal. And Cruise's momager always makes sure little Tom never, EVER co-stars with Gary Coleman.

Welcome to The Club.
I know this is a lazy question, but of the studios owning TomC and KateH's new movies, which news networks are those studios co-owned with?
the movie wound up with Keri Russell.
