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.
I heard this on one of those 'entertainment' shows. They've been reporting that where Katie is, suddenly, in the weeks since Katie and Tom became 'an item', this woman, who is a higher up in scientology, appears and has never been more than 3 or 4 feet away from her, creepy unsmiling woman who listens to every word Katie says and sometimes whispers to her. Her handler. One program (the one with Deborah Norville) actually showed in slo-mo Katie's face change from jubilant to alarmed when she looked from her adoring fans to this wierd woman. Someone said it is Tom's sister, but others don't seem to know. And it's clear she's not a body guard.
I know the e-meter, but I've never seen the full name: The "electropsychometer."
What is that, a device for measuring "electropsychos?"
"Yes Tom, you're a HUGE electropsycho."
Katie Holmes looks posessed to me.
Squick squick squick.
Didn't care for LIT. Only scenes worth watching were those featuring Bill Murray (who was ROBBED at the Oscars) and the closing scene when "Just Like Honey" played in the background. The latter pretty much sum up how I feel after coming "home" from a long, enjoyable trip.
Tom's sister is his spokeswoman, so it is possible. She did damage control over the Oprah appearance.
Welcome to Mindhead...
TC's new press guru is his sister, an uber-scieno who might well be that creepy handler.
You're thinking of that song by ZZTop. ;-)
Girl with a Pearl Earring, too.
Take it from one who learned the hard way-stay away from those fools!
LOL. Actually ROFLMAO. That is a wierd sense of humor. I'm with Christina, that is gross. Who was it (Conan O'Brien?) who said that Colin Quinn had a habit of 'whipping it out' at the most inopportune moments. LOL. Maybe it's a Boston thing, they're all big DIM's and from Boston area and Teddy's the famous pants-free senator from that state...
Any other profession would have been slapped with a sexual harassment charge. It's worth noting that Affleck is a big Dim supporter.
That's for sure. A big lawsuit. And just like the DIM's they emulate, they get off (in more ways than one, lol) scott-free. What people won't put up with to be around a 'star'. STILL not worse than Cruise and his unsmiling eyes and his scientology...
Wow, what happened?
I think you're right. Just what is up with this guy? I don't know (nor really care) who initiated the Tom Cruise-Nicole Kidman divorce, but I'm sure she's FAR better off to be rid of this whacko...
That's the rumor. Katie's like a show dog on a leash. She needs to look pretty and gush over her owners and stay in line.
Hollywood is controlled by Teamsters with a hardcore socialist at its head.
If you want to work in the Hollywood syndicate you do exactly what is expected of you such as supporting democrat socialists.
Apparently mandatory Scientology attendance is over the top.
This young lady still has a chance to develop outside the hardcore progressives of that smutty indistry.
Thanks, I'll pick up the DVD.
"I don't know Paul, after Eyes Wide Shut I'm not sure there's much of anything she wouldn't do.
I hear you though. If so, that's definately a point in her favor."
Do you honestly think that Stanley Kubrick wasn't fully aware of the tension between Cruise and Kidman when he cast them in Eyes Wid Shut?
Kubrick's last film was a documentary about Scientology.
Luckily Kidman did a fast exit and starred in Lars Von Triers, Dogville which is a masterpiece and the best role she every played.
Set point to Kidman not to mention she is the most beautiful actor in the world and very underrated. (second best in Cold Mountain but very good never the less)
