Thanks, R/T, you're a fantastic audience.

I thought Cruise looked like a baby and should have just walked away. Why waste the time and give the 'reporter' the reaction he wanted for his tv show? Cruise made a fool of himself over a little water.

Stuttering John/Howard Stern type idiocy.

Not sure how you can think he didn't keep his composure. A lot of celebrities would have just slugged the guy. As for walking away and trying to ignore it, that is probably the reaction the pranksters wanted. I doubt they wanted Cruise calling the guy on the fact that he had to be a complete jerk for doing what he did.

[G Larry]

I believe your view is widely shared.

[TheFilter]

I agree. It's just a completely rude and uncalled-for thing to do to anyone, celebrity or not.

Although getting squirted is not the end of the earth, and if as you say he handled it well, I'm still a little confused. What, on God's green earth, is up with the MSM and Cruise? Can't hardly turn on a news program without the latest Cruise update. "Ooo Ahhh he's jumping on Oprah's sofa. EEEee Ummm he's getting remarried. La Tee Dah, he's in LOVE again." Seems to me it's an ongoing commercial and publicity stunt for his new movie and his "religion". IMHO .....

Four men were released on bail after being arrested and were ordered to return to a police station Monday.

Kinda sounds like what we do when illegal aliens are arrested!

Sort of like a "your day in the barrel thing." Too bad Mr. Cruise was inconvenienced. Some days you get the bear. Ok, most days Mr. Cruise gets the bear. But some days the bear gets you even if you happen to be Tom Cruise.

[RushCrush]

That's pretty funny! Thanks for the link. Just futher proof of Cruise's ego.

[Guillermo]

Everything they do is for publicity. They can't live without it.

Don't believe them when they whine about the media attention...they know once the media attention ends, so has their carreers.

[Protagoras]

Cruise handle himself great! A classy man...

Only if you define class as self absorbed, leftist, homos who belong to religious cults.

[1Old Pro]

God forbid an important actor gets water sprayed in his face. We immediately arrest these people.

How come these left wing students who throw pies at conservative speakers don't get immediately arrested?

[somerville]

I for one am tired of all the attention on Cruise. Has anyone seen "Batman Begins"? Christian Bale.... now, there's a real man !

[oblomov]

Scientology have certainly brought a sense of balance and proportion to Cruise's life.

[evets]

At first I laughed and thought
"What a cry baby"...
then I saw the shocking photos.

The stream of water was aimed right at his face!
(What if it would have got in his mouth?!?)
His attackers should be beaten!

[EdHallick]

He ego and his strangeness. That is one strange dude.

[television is just wrong]

He's following in his mentor's footsteps, (Paul Newman).

[WorkingClassFilth]

I agree. I couldn't care less about Cruise or any other Hollywood clown, but that is not the issue in this story. The left is very fond of this crap and their lame excuse is that it is all in good fun. Pie assaults, like that on Ann Coulter awhile back, could just as easily have been a knife attack. This particular scumbag could have sprayed battery acid into Cruise's face.

Nope - not good. In my world, these kind of "pranksters" at the least should be taken down and beaten into submission before arrest. When they leap up on stage and attack (yes, that is the correct word - attack) a person, then their bodyguards should deal with them in the same manner as any attacker. If the Leftist pie thrower ends up ventilated and his pranking career is violently ended, well, too bad.

[baseballmom]

Agree with your post, 100%.

Whether it's water, a pie, or something more sinister, it is a violation of his (or anyone's) person, and these "pranksters" should be arrested for assault.
