Scarlett Johansson pulled out of appearing in the second Mission: Impossible sequel after Tom Cruise tried to convert her to scientology, according to reports. Cruise, who produces the action adventures, met with Johansson ahead of casting for the upcoming Mission: Impossible 3 and took her to one of the controversial religion's headquarters, claims Radarmagazine.Com. A source tells the website, "After two hours of proselytizing, 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 ingénue politely excused herself." Officially Johansson quit the film because of scheduling conflicts after the film was delayed so Cruise could make War Of The Worlds.
That would make sense. Tom's sister is now their agent - both of them. And it wasn't until he fired his previous agent who kept a tight rein on Cruise speaking out about Scientology that Cruise has gone off the deep end about all this.
All two inches.
Yes, I think the kids are with her, but there are always happy photos of him with his kids. I know there was some tension over the exposure to scientology that the kids might have. That's part of the reason they divorced, she didn't want to be involved with scientology anymore and she didn't want the kids to be, either. He contested it, and, if I'm not mistaken, he initially had custody of the kids pending a hearing and her willingness to compromise on that issue. The power of scientology.
I've posted the Xenus story many times, I loathe Scientology.
Sorry guys, but I actually have a newfound respect for Tom Cruise.
Frankly, I have no way of knowing what the truth is on the topic of this article, or of Tom's actions elsewhere.
However, in the recent spraying of water in his face during an "interview," at first I only saw Tom calling the "interviewer" "a jerk." He did it a number of times. But I was impressed that he didn't take a swing at the guy (which is probably what I would have done.)
However, it wasn't until the next day that I actually saw the entire episode. Tom was giving what he thought was an interview, when the trick microphone began spraying him in the face with water. Tom actually engaged the "interviewer" in a conversation, asking why he would do such a thing, while he was giving him an interview. While Tom Cruise was more than a little upset, he never lost his cool or composure. I'm fairly certain that under the same circumstances, I would have just unloaded on the jerk.
But Tom Cruise was cool about it, and handled it with grace and class. I just hope that they guys (who were arrested) get hit up and are forced to do some serious time. But they won't.

Well, why would anyone be surprised, especially after his performance with Cartman and J-Lo in that episode of South Park!

Cruise's recent unhinging came after firing his long-term publicity manager. I think he was tired of being tied back and wants the world to see the real him.
Actually, where I worked, we had a receptionist who had a sign up behind her desk that said:
"Sexual Harrassment will NOT be reported to the management. It will, however, be graded!"
When someone "threatened" to "whip it out," she would simply hold out her hand and say, "Place it right here, and I'll show you the end you've never seen before!"

Sorry, but there's still the "human aspect" of it all.
I think that I saw this (paraphrased) in a tag-line here...
"No matter how beautiful she is, some guy, somewhere, is tired of her s**t!"
Mark
Man, that's funny!
Can somebody explain this to me?
I'd be more than happy with ONE woman who actually knows what she's doing! I don't want a virgin!
Mark
Ohhhh... Did I say that out loud?
I had some friends in LA that were Scientologists (nice people anyway) that I did some design work for who tried to talk me into being "audited". I did go to one auditing session as a favor and because the auditor was nice looking and had big hooters. In those days I would do almost anything to get into some womans pants.
I went once and just thought it was a bunch of hooey. Plus, I thougt all the people running around in little navy uniforms with braids on their shoulders, etc. were just plain weird and creepy.
Hi, Mark!
I know lots of FReeperettes who know what they are doing....

Serious boobage going on in that middle photo there.
A friend of mine used to say, "Show me the prettiest girl in the room, and I'll show you a guy who's tired of f***ing her."
But I think your version is closer to the truth. A man will put up with a lot of s*** if he's still getting the f***ing.

of eyes.
LOL. That's right... I now remember it was Cruise who divorced Nicole. As I said before, she's probably very lucky to be rid of him.
Well, we certainly are getting to see the real him! Way more than we wanted! ;-) He does seem to be coming unhinged.
