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 .....
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.
