Would you go see a movie all about Scientology or would you be too afraid there would be subliminal messages in it that would make you give all your money away? Regardless, news has just come out that Tom Cruise is working on a Scientology film and has cast his friend Victoria Beckham as one of the aliens. Is it just me or does Victoria already look like an alien? Here’s the story:
Victoria Beckham is reportedly set to star in Tom Cruise’s new Scientology film.
The Spice Girl has apparently been lined up to play an alien bride in The Thetan - based on the bizarre sci-fi cult, which believes in alien life forms.
Victoria is said to be "thrilled" about getting her big Hollywood break.
A source told Britain’s Daily Star newspaper: "Victoria is really hoping to make a go of it in Hollywood. This could be the perfect start for her, with good pal Tom Cruise in charge."
The 32-year-old - who made her first attempt at acting in the 1997 Spice Girls movie Spice World - will play the bride of an alien leader called a thetan, which Scientologists claim is an immortal spiritual being, present in all humans.
Cruise - who is bankrolling the project himself after it was rejected by all the major film studios - is said to have picked Victoria for the role after being impressed by her "comic genius".
Victoria - who is married to soccer superstar David Beckham - is currently looking to buy a property in Los Angeles after recently landing a presenting role on a new US fashion programme.
David Miscavige really creeps me out. Why was he Tom Cruise’s best man and not Connor Cruise?
And Katie Holmes’ daddy Martin Cruise is really cute! I wonder how many drugs he had to take to not freak out at the wedding? Remember he didn’t approve of the marriage because of his religious beliefs. I guess he got over it.
Could it be that John Travolta and Tom Cruise had a falling out? Some speculate Oprah not being invited was the reason but I think that’s a little far fetched. I would never skip out on a close friend’s wedding if one of my other friends wasn’t invited. That’s just childish. The Bride and Groom have the right to invite whomever they please.
Here’s some more scoop on why John wasn’t there:
While almost all the who’s who of Hollywood were present at Tomkat’s wedding that took place last weekend in Rome, actor John Travolta’s absence was as prominent as all those attendees combined.
And the notable no-show of the Face/Off actor has given rise to a number of rumours, the persistent one being - he snubbed the event as his (Travolta’s) close pal, Oprah Winfrey wasn’t invited to attend the ceremony.
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ wedding was graced by Jennifer Lopez, Will Smith, Victoria Beckham, Brooke Shields and on and on. But Travolta - a longtime friend of Cruise, and a fellow super-Scientologist - skipped the trip to Italy.
Sources say that the reason might be the talk show queen - who is one of Travolta’s closest friends. Likewise, Kirstie Alley — another bosom buddy of Oprah’s and an avowed and public Scientologist — also didn’t attend the nuptials, reports TMZ.com
However, Travolta’s reps have quashed these claims, as they say: "We weren’t privy to the invite list." Via Hindustan Times
So many celebrities are showing up for the big Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes wedding, but so far none of Katie’s costars from Dawson’s Creek are anywhere to be found in Italy. When you work on a TV show with a group of people for 6 years don’t you grow to be friends? What’s the deal Katie?
Maybe Tom Cruise is worried that seeing her old friends will jog her memory and make her jump out of the Scientology spell she’s been under?
This is hilarious! Paramount insulting Tom Cruise publicly for his crazy off screen behavior. Good for them! I wouldn’t want him working for me. Well, actually, that’s not true. Tom if you want to hang out and make some youtube movies with me, I’m game!
Paramount Pictures and actor Tom Cruise called an end to their 14-year production deal on Wednesday as the chairman of the studio’s parent company took a parting shot at the movie star’s off-screen behavior.
"As much as we like him personally, we thought it was wrong to renew his deal," Viacom Inc. Chairman Sumner Redstone told the Wall Street Journal in an interview posted online. "His recent conduct has not been acceptable to Paramount."
Paula Wagner, the actor’s longtime partner in his movie company, Cruise/Wagner Productions, struck back at Redstone, calling his comments about the three-time Oscar nominee "offensive" and "undignified."
"Whatever remarks Mr. Redstone would make about Tom Cruise personally or as an actor have no bearing on what this business issue is," she told Reuters. "There must be another agenda that the studio has in mind to take one of their greatest assets and malign him this way."
Five films starring Cruise and co-produced by his company, including the "Mission: Impossible" series, have generated theatrical revenues totaling over $2 billion worldwide during the past decade. And Wagner said his films accounted for about 15 percent of the studio’s overall box office gross over that period.
Moreover, Wagner insisted that she and Cruise chose to leave the Paramount lot and establish a new venture financed through a private, revolving equity fund of $100 million.
"We in fact made a decision not to continue our relationship with Paramount Pictures," she said.
Viacom and Paramount executives declined further comment on the situation.
The war of words between Redstone and Wagner marked a bitter end to one of the most lucrative production alliances between a major Hollywood studio and an A-list star.
STAR POWER DIMMED
And it followed other signs that Cruise’s stature had been damaged by a string of publicity faux pas ranging from his manic, couch-hopping profession of love for actress
Katie Holmes last year on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" to his strident denunciations of psychiatry.
Although Cruise recently topped Forbes magazine’s annual list of the world’s 100 most powerful celebrities, his latest film, "Mission: Impossible III," opened in May to lower-than-expected ticket sales.
Days later a USA Today/Gallup poll found that Cruise’s star power had dimmed considerably in the eyes of the public, with more than half of those surveyed registering an "unfavorable" opinion of the actor.
Many cited his off-screen behavior during the past year, including his intense public discussions of his faith in Scientology and his blunt criticism of actress Brooke Shields for taking medication to treat postpartum depression.
Cruise also became the butt of jokes, and a frequent target of tabloid gossip, for his high-profile romance with the much younger Holmes, who recently gave birth to Cruise’s first biological child, a daughter named Suri.
Last month, the Los Angeles Times reported that Paramount Chairman Brad Grey was in talks with Cruise/Wagner seeking to slash the amount of money the studio pays for the production company — from over $10 million to $2 million a year.
Wagner disputed those figures, and said the collapse in talks with Paramount did not stem from a disagreement over money but from an opportunity to go "in a new direction."
The departure of Cruise/Wagner from Paramount comes as all the studios are taking new measures to curb expenses in the face of escalating production and marketing costs and slumping growth in DVD revenues.
Cruise’s latest film, "Mission: Impossible III," went on to amass $393 million in ticket sales around the world, a tidy sum but far less than his 2005 release from Paramount, "War of the Worlds," which topped $590 million globally. Thanks Crystal and Yahoo
Last week Katie Holmes went to an InStyle magazine party and allegedly freaked out other partygoers with her vacant eyes.
New mom Katie Holmes made a rare appearance this weekend at InStyle magazine girls-only party. The party was held on Sunday at the home of a Hollywood producer, and guests were reportedly strictly forbidden from inviting anyone to attend with them. Holmes broke the rule, which was specified when invitations were sent out, by towing along one of her Scientology "friends." "You weren’t allowed to bring a guest with you," a partygoer told PerezHilton.com. "However, Katie brought a guest. One of her Scientology ‘handlers.’ She was the only one that didn’t come alone. Katie’s minder kept a watchful eye and a close distance at all times. It was so creepy! You couldn’t really talk to her honestly and openly. Whenever Katie would leave the room, all the girls would talk amongst themselves about how strange she seemed and how bizarre the whole situation was." Another party guest said, "Katie looked dead in the eyes. She was not the same person she was before she met Tom." Via celebritynation
She looks cute and normal to me…but what us she wearing? looks like an old lady dress.
I really don’t buy this one. Why would a couple who hasn’t shown their alien baby to anyone except maybe some scientology freaky stars show it to Tom Cruise’s Ex girlfriend Penelope Cruz? Sounds like while with Tom Penelope learned something about publicity because this revelation coincidentally coincides with the premiere of her movie Volver…hmmm…and why does it look like Penelope was punched in her right eye? Maybe she was climbing the trees next to TomKat’s compound, saw a beach ball in a crib and fell, hitting her face on the way down?
She may not be seeing much of ex-beau Tom Cruise anymore, but Penelope Cruz is among those who say they have seen his baby daughter, Suri.
Cruz, who dated Cruise from 2001 to 2004, declined to offer details of the meeting, but praised Suri as a special baby.
"She’s really beautiful. She’s one of the most beautiful babies I’ve ever seen," the 32-year-old actress said. She was in London Thursday night to attend the British premiere of her new film, "Volver."
Suri, the daughter of Cruise, 44, and his fiancee, Katie Holmes, 27, was born in Los Angeles on April 18. She has yet to be seen in public.
However, actresses Jada Pinkett Smith and Leah Remini have reported seeing Suri, in separate visits to the Cruise-Holmes mansion in Los Angeles.
Pinkett Smith has described Suri as "one of the sweetest babies I’ve ever met in my life," while Remini has said the baby "looks like Tom and Katie, she’s just beautiful." Via Yahoo
Everyone’s all excited about the possibility of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes getting married this weekend, but I have my doubts. The reason people think something is happening is because of decorating going on at the Scientology centre, but need I remind you that neither Tom nor Katie have a movie premiere in the next few weeks! They’ll most likely say "I Do" when it corresponds with publicity that can be turned into big bags of cash just like they did with the birth of Suri Cruise. Also, the American Idol singer who Katie and Tom wanted for their wedding, Katharine McPhee is on tour right now with other American Idols and is having health problems.
We’ll see what happens this weekend though. Who knows, anything could happen!
There’s some speculation that Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes could tie the knot as early as this weekend. Gossip websites report there has been some changes at the Scientology Celebrity Centre in California.One eyewitness tells the website MollyGood: "I live in Beachwood Canyon, right up the hill from the Scientology Celebrity Centre, and there is most definitely something going on soon. "I know that Tom and Katie have been there twice in the last week and now the centre is covered in tents and outdoor chandeliers. Huge planters are in the street to prevent anyone driving too close."Need more evidence for speculation? Oscar Blandi, hairdresser to Cruise and Holmes, has reportedly been booked all weekend for them. Cruise’s spokesman recently said: “As far as I know, the plans are for late summer, early fall.” Via NBC5
Tom Cruise is crazy. It’s a fact. Check out these strange but true Tom Cruise facts care of TomCruiseIsNuts
Tom started wearing braces in 2002. He removes them during filming.
When he was 7, he was diagnosed as dyslexic. He claims Scientology helped him overcome it.
Tom’s real name: Thomas Mapother.
According to RadarMagazine.com, before Cruise started dating Katie Holmes, he invited actress Scarlett Johansson to a Scientology center where he showed her literature about the church. "After two hours of proselytizing," according to the website, "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."
In 1997, Cruise and other big time Hollywood entertainers took out an international newspaper ad denouncing Germany for resorting to the same totalitarian tactics against Scientologists that the country used against the Jews under Hitler during the 1930s.
If Cruise and Katie Holmes wed, each of his wives will have been eleven years younger than the last. (Mimi Rogers, b. 1956; Nicole Kidman, b. 1967; Katie Holmes, b. 1978)
The Fact about Scalett Johansson is really creepy. Do you think that means he was planning on inseminating that young starlet and Katie Holmes was only a second choice? Good for you Scarlett!
This is really sad. Even though your daughter’s marrying a wack-job that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go to the ceremony. I mean if you don’t who’s going to try to convince Katie Holmes not to go through with the wedding? Just go and mouth, don’t do it constantly…maybe you’ll get through to her that way. Boycotting doesn’t work, it just makes you look like bad parents.
Katie Holmes’ parents are reportedly refusing to attend her wedding to fiance Tom Cruise.
The Top Gun actor plans to marry the Batman Begins actress, the mother of his daughter Suri, in a Scientology ceremony in late July or early August.
However, Katie’s devoutly Catholic parents, Martin and Kathleen, will not attend the nuptials because they do not approve of Tom’s devotion to the bizarre sci-fi cult.
The ceremony will allegedly be conducted by Scientology leader David Miscavige.
A family friend revealed to America’s Life and Style magazine that Katie’s mum and dad "are not happy" with their daughter’s choice of where to marry.
It is also claimed that the former Dawson’s Creek star had hoped to have a separate Catholic wedding to appease her angry parents but Tom is not willing to compromise.
According to the source, Martin Holmes allegedly said: "If Katie can have a proper Catholic wedding her whole family will gladly be a part of."
Since she began dating Tom, Katie has become heavily involved in Scientology, and is reputedly planning to convert from Catholicism to the ‘religion’.
Recently, Tom’s ex-wife Nicole Kidman was told by the Catholic Church that, in their eyes, she had never been married to the actor as it had not been sanctioned by the church. Via Stuff
