Did you know that Tom Cruise did a Mission: Impossible movie last year? It?s true! I forgot that it was that recently. Last year, Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation came out, and the only reason I remember the name is because I kept misreading it as ?Rouge Nation,? as in there was a nation of people obsessed with blush. Rogue Nation was the fifth MI outing, and shockingly, it made money. The domestic haul was modest, given its $150 million price tag ? it made just shy of $200 million domestically. But internationally, the film made $487 million. So everyone made money on it and it was a ?hit,? and another sequel was completely justified. They?re already in preproduction for a sixth MI film, due to begin production in January. And Tom Cruise just held everybody up for more money. O RLY, Tommy?
A dispute over salary between Tom Cruise and Paramount has halted preproduction on Mission: Impossible 6, multiple sources tell The Hollywood Reporter. The studio, which was co-financing the movie with Skydance, was in the prep stages for a January 2017 production start and Christopher McQuarrie, who is back on directing duties after reinvigorated the franchise with the fifth installment, is writing the script.
Sources tell THR that one of the contentious points is Cruise’s back-end profit participation, with the actor looking to match or exceed what he is getting paid by Universal for starring in The Mummy, which he is currently shooting in London. Mummy is a pivotal movie for Universal, which is looking to launch a cinematic franchise and has hinged plenty on Cruise?s star power.
This is the second hiccup this summer for Mission: Impossible 6. In July, the project threatened to fall apart over what one source said was script issues. That obstacle pushed a November start into the new year. Paramount initially wanted Mission: Impossible 6 for a late 2017 release but it is currently undated.

I don?t know? my first thought was ?Tom Cruise has some big cojones to ask for more money, this isn?t 1998 anymore.? You know what I mean? Cruise is no longer the biggest, brightest star in the world. He?s still big enough to lead these franchise films that cost $150 million to make, of course. But it seems like he should be counting his blessings that he still gets to work. Plus, Cruise?s notoriously generous back-end deals were one of the reasons why he did alienate some studios, and why it was so easy for them to back away when the couch-jumping nonsense started happening. In his hey-day, when every Cruise film was a major hit, he would end up making tens of millions of dollars on the back-end. Is he still that guy? Eh.

In news that will either excite or infuriate 80s kids everywhere, it seems that the long-discussed sequel to the 1986 hit flick Top Gun may finally become a reality. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer got the internet buzzing about the return of Maverick to the big screen when he posted a picture with Tom Cruise to his Twitter with the caption, “Just got back from a weekend in New Orleans to see my old friend @TomCruise and discuss a little Top Gun 2.”

Oh, for the love of Xenu. Tom Cruise is preparing to promote Mission: Impossible 5, and he’s got a secret plan. Tom noticed those April reports that he hadn’t seen Suri in over a year (and wasn’t planning to do so anytime soon). He didn’t say anything, and he didn’t sue the tabloids again. Not because the new stories didn’t infuriate Tom. The problem was that these stories went down in the midst of the Going Clear documentary madness. Tom dropped into quiet mode, especially after a former Scientology private eye confirmed that Tom bankrolls most of the cult’s dealings.
Tom laid low and hoped all of this would blow over by the time the MI5 tour arrived. It’s true that we haven’t seen him with Suri, partially because Tom got frustrated at the running timelines that popped up in between his ridiculous pap walks. Tom loved using the media to promote his “greatest dad ever” shtick, but he stopped because people called him out on his crap. Radar has a new story that says Tom is ready to appear in public with Suri again, and this reunion will conveniently occur during his MI5 appearances:
Tom Cruise is so busy with his career that he?s had to figure out a clever way to get in some father-daughter time with Suri Cruise.
RadarOnline.com has learned that the actor is hoping to have his 9-year-old girl accompany him while he promotes his new movie, Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation.
“Tom wants to bring Suri to Comic Con in early July, where he can kill two birds with one stone,” an insider reveals to Radar of the annual convention that takes place in Southern California.
“He?ll get to spend quality time with his daughter, whom he hasn?t seen in months and misses terribly,? continues the source. “They?ll be able to take in San Diego while he drums up buzz for the movie.”
[From Radar Online}
Yeah, nothing says "amazing, devoted father" like the phrase "killing two birds wtih one stone." If Tom was serious about spending time with Suri, he'd do so on an ongoing, casual basis. But we'll never see him taking Suri to school every day for weeks, and he'd never deal with daily parenting tasks. It's all flashy, Disneyland-type appearances for Tom or nothing. Everything he does in his private life is always for the cameras, which is why he can't stop acting either. The dude doesn't know how to be real. If he truly takes Suri along for a bunch of Comic-Con appearances, that would be so transparent.

Tom Cruise attended last night’s Giorgio Armani 40th anniversary party in Milan. Other celebrities, like a sockless Chris Pine and a dapper Boy George (wearing Pharrell’s hat), came out too. Leonardo DiCaprio showed up and managed to keep a low profile (perhaps due to chatting up models). Tom posed for countless selfies with other guests. No matter what we hear about Scientology, Tom keeps coming out ahead with fans.
It’s worth noting that Tom made a special point of taking “some time off from his hectic work schedule” for this event. He managed to fly into Italy, although he hasn’t seen his own daughter in over a year. Tom made a grand entrance with Giorgio’s niece, Roberta Armani, on his arm. They look cozy, right? Tom probably wishes he could land Roberta, but hobnobbing with Armani-clad celebs is part of her job. A few years ago, The Telegraph praised Roberta as being an incredible asset to the Armani empire. She “shows up to hold Anne Hathaway’s hand through fitting after fitting” and has helped David Beckham on his Armani shopping trips. She’s paid to make celebrities feel comfortable, and Tom feels uncomfortable without a woman on his arm.
So I’m sure there’s nothing coupley going on here, but don’t get me wrong. I’d have a field-gossip day if Tom and Roberta actually became a thing. She must know better though. The LA Times notes how charitable Roberta is and how she’s “become a lot more than Giorgio’s niece. She’s become a force in her own right.” Roberts has no problem acting as “good Armani-clad arm candy” for the celebrities who wear the label. Tom would love to land Roberta, who is well-respected but would never overshadow the Tom show.

Tom Cruise has been filming Mission: Impossible 5 – Is Ethan Hunt Retired Yet? in London forever. This photo captures a moment before Tom supposedly almost got run over in real life, but it was only a stunt for the movie. Nobody runs over Tom Cruise, not physically anyway.
Only last week, the new documentary, Going Clear, premiered at Sundance and revealed the CO$ engineered collapse of the Kidman-Cruise marriage. Tom stayed quiet during the discussion. He knows better than to stick his finger into glib Matt Lauer’s face anymore.
The Liftmaster has a different focus right now than public CO$ attack mode. Page Six says he’s on the prowl for a new kind of role. Tom the adrenaline junkie has been stuck in action mode for the past several years. Is there more out there for Tom besides OT Level VIII Scientology paradise? Well … Tom Cruise has never won an Oscar. He’s been nominated three times (for Born on the Fourth of July, Jerry Maguire, and Magnolia), but he’s never captured the gold.
How badly does Tom want to capture that little statuette? Very much so. According to Page Six, Tom will gain weight in order to play Barry Seal, the 300-pound, drug- and gun-trafficking pilot for 1980s cartels and the CIA. Sources don’t know whether Tom will gain help from a Tropic Thunder-esque fat suit, but Tom is expected to gain “a significant amount.” Doug Liman (Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Edge of Tomorrow) has taken over for Ron Howard as director, which is interesting. Liman primarily directs action, but Tom seems to be aiming for more with this role.
Will this be an awards contender? I can’t see any other reason for Cruise to move out of his mega-physical comfort zone. Tom’s been in action-hero rotation forever, and now he’s changing up his career strategy. Then maybe he’ll cash in on Kirstie Alley’s Weight Watcher’s connection. Be careful, or those volcanoes full of Thetans are going to blow from all the awesomeness.

After fixing uphis profile on OKXenu, Tom Cruise managed to score a few dates with Laura Prepon (Orange Is The New Black, That 70?s Show). PR reps deny they’re dating but Page Six says different.
However, my source on the Left Coast says Cruise and Prepon are still seeing each other, but they are being extremely careful to keep it secret. ?It?s the buzz on the set of her show,? the insider told me.
The British magazine Grazia reported last fall that Cruise, 51, picked up Prepon, 34, in a vintage car and had a bottle of 1979 Merlot waiting on the table when they arrived at the Manor Hotel.
?They spent three hours laughing and joking. It?s clear Tom is smitten and after the date he was on cloud nine,? the mag reported. ?They had their second date at the restaurant, too, meeting for Sunday brunch, and then she accompanied him a few days later to a dinner party at John [Travolta]?s home.?
What goes on at a Scientology party? Do they all hail David Miscavige before getting reverse massages from physical therapists who know how tokeep a secret? No, really. I want to know. On a scale of 1 to faaabulous, how gayare these parties?

| | Is Tom Cruise's puffy face the result of too many fillers' | | Added 11 years ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Can I just say how thrilled I am that Tom Cruise has returned to the tabloids? I barely even noticed that he took a public breather for about four months. This lift lover is still happy to see him awkwardly entering the public eye again.
When Tom surfaced at the Jameson Empire awards about a week ago, he looked like he’d been wrestling with a can of hairspray that landed on his forehead. His face looked puffy and full of fillers. His suit didn’t fit him well, and he was very unkempt. Tom usually looks immaculate, so I knew something was amiss. I didn’t dwell on it because there was no Tom news (beyond the new Edge of Tomorrow trailer where his character keeps on dying — over and over again).
This week’s tabloids are going bonkers over Tom’s new face. Tom has never been a stranger to surgery. He’s long been rumored to have regular touchups by a famous Brazilian plastic surgeon. He’s appeared “refreshed” on several occasions, but he usually looks good. For example, this is how Tom looked last December as he towered over Ben Stiller. Tom looked chiseled and (dare I say) handsome:
Here is Tom at last week’s awards ceremony. His face looks painfully puffy:
Star has a reaction piece on Tom’s new face. They float a few theories, but the predominant one is botched plastic surgery:
He sported a new haircut, and impeccably tailored navy-blue suit and his trademark megawatt smile. But as Tom Cruise posed on the red carpet at London’s Jameson Empire Awards on March 30, he turned heads for very different — and less flattering — reasons.
Whily many came out to see the star — who was making his first public appearance in nearly four months at the ceremony — they were shocked at how much his face had changed. “Tom’s face looked like a puffy pillow,” says an onlooker at the event, where the 51-year-old actor won the prestigious Legend of Our Lifetime award. “Everyone there couldn’t stop talking about how different he looked.”
Indeed, even though Tom was accepting an award for his more than three decades as a big-screen superstar, he looked more like an overgroon little boy than the chiseled movie idol who starred in Top Gun almost 28 years ago. And many believed the puffiness was the result of a plastic surgery treatment gone terribly wrong.
“Tom could be swollen from recent injections of a filler like Sculptra,” agrees plastic surgeon Dr. Anthony Youn, who does not treat Tom. “This treatment is typically used to fill in gaunt faces, and it can cause facial swelling”
Though Dr. Youn says that swelling from plastic surgery will probalby “settle down” eventually, some close to Tom wonder why he bothered with fillers n the first place.
They see it as a sign of Tom’s growing obsession with looking young — which seems to have reached new heights lately. “He’s gotten terribly insecure when it comes to aging,” an insider says, adding that his single status — and fear of growing old alone — is a large part of the problem. “If he were happily married, he might not care about his appearance as much. But he really does want to settle down again. The fact of the matter is, he’s attracted to younger women, so he wants to look young.”
[From Star, print edition, April 21, 2014]
This week’s issue of Star calls Tom “Tom-Squatch!” because he’s been “hiding” from the press — possibly to recover from plastic surgery. Star says Tom’s atypically round face looks that way because he “may have had his cheeks injected with fat from his love handles.” That’s pretty harsh. I don’t think he looks like he gained weight! He simply overdid the fillers. Tom has also become obsessed with hair dye and thinks his new, fuller locks makes him look more youthful. God, this is so … pitiful? I’m starting to feel sorry for Tom Cruise.
Let’s recap again — Tom in December 2013:

Graciously taking time out to sign autographs and pose for pics, Tom Cruise stopped by "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" in New York City on Tuesday (April 16).
The "Oblivion" star flashed his pearly whites in a black jacket over his sweater and gray trousers as he delighted the huge crowd of awaiting fans outside.
On Monday, it was announced that the 50-year-old actor will star in the upcoming sci-fi flick, "Yukikaze," based on a series of Japanese novels by Chohel Kamayashi.
In the story, a planetary defense force beats back an invasion of aliens using a wormhole over Antarctica, setting up bases on the aliens' planet. Yukikaze is the name of the fighter plane the hero uses on his missions.

These are photos of Tom Cruise at the London Battersea Heliport after he and Olga Kurylenko did the Marchesa walk of shame at the UK premiere of Oblivion. I love the above photo simply for the vantage point involved. It’s like Tom’s lifts are walking him around and not vice versa. Tom’s still doing some hardcore international promotion for this movie, and I don’t know how well it will fare in theaters, but it does have Morgan Freeman’s authoritative voice to help reel in viewers. People might not want to see Tom when he’s not jumping off skyscrapers, but they love to hear Morgan’s boom, so the movie will probably fare decently, and Tom will get all the credit for it because he’s such a “movie star.”
Some interviews from Tom’s recent promotional tour of Germany (we didn’t get those photos, which is just as well since you people aren’t showing the love to Tom posts lately) are still filtering out. In particular, Tom has admitted to a German television show that he was very surprised when Katie filed for divorce last June. The message here? Tom thought everything was just fine with him and Katie in their marriage. Because to high-profile Scientologists, everything is always fine — great even. Look at how John Travolta and Kelly Preston put on a happy-happy-joy-joy show for the cameras. There’s nothing to complain about! Nothing is ever wrong. Unless, of course, you’re an awful suppressive person who is necessarily a beacon of negativity. Let’s catch up Tom and his sudden confessional move:
Mum’s no longer the word. Tom Cruise has been mostly silent on his 2012 split from Katie Holmes, but as he tours the world to promote his sci-fi film Oblivion, he’s finally opening up a little about how he felt after their much-publicized breakup. In a new interview with German TV network ProSieben, the actor admits he was surprised when Holmes filed for divorce on June 29, five days before his 50th birthday.
“I didn’t expect it,” he confesses of the end of his five-year marriage to the star, with whom he shares daughter Suri, 6.
Afterward, he says, he “had an unbelievable amount of time to think about it” as he threw himself into his work. The takeaway from all that thinking? “Life is a challenge.”
“To be 50 and to have experiences and to think you have a grip on everything, and then it hits you — this is it, what life can do to you,” he tells ProSieben. “Life is a tragicomedy. You need to have a sense of humor.”
[From Us Weekly]
Naturally, Tom’s camp (the CO$) has already crawled out of the woodwork to deny this story, but that doesn’t mean it’s not true. According to Gossip Cop, Tom’s quotes were not only taken “out of context,” but his rep also say that parts of the interview were “made up.” Nice try, Tom.
Here’s a photo of Katie chatting on the phone while she walked through New York City last week. It must be quite a relief to not have to use burner phones anymore.

After a busy round of promotional duties, Tom Cruise prepared to leave the UK as he boarded a helicopter at the Battersea Heliport in London on Thursday (April 4).
The 50 year-old actor looked like he came straight from the red carpet as he sported a perfectly fitted grey suit and matching coat as he made his way out to the awaiting transportation.
While across the pond, Tom met up with his fellow co-stars to attend photo calls and premieres for his upcoming action flick "Oblivion."
The Joseph Kosinski written and directed film follows a veteran who is assigned to extract Earth's remaining resources, but begins to question what he knows about his mission and himself.
"Oblivion" is set to hit theaters nationwide on April 19.
