And why was the Green Hornet lurking around Ethan Hunt’s driveway, anyway? Surely he wasn’t secretly hired by the IMF to infiltrate Hunt’s sanctum sanctuorum via chemically-altered, highly-acidic urine that his sidekick Kato just developed?

No? So what was goofy stand-up comedian Rogen doing in front of A-list Tom‘s home?

Turns out, he was actually there for a meeting with Cruise and director, Judd Apatow, to discuss joining forces for then 2008 upcoming project, “Tropic Thunder.” 

Seth admitted having felt very nervous and self-conscious of the great Tom Cruise, so he arrived early but got a bad case of the wee-wees, and as he didn’t want to bother the actor by ringing the doorbell just to use the bathroom, he did the next best thing…

He peed into a Snapple bottle. Which he left in his car before the start of the meeting, of course.

Rogen didn’t get the job, but wasn’t it lucky he only felt like doing number one, and not number two?

While some doting parents push their children on to the soccer field, atop horses, or into baseball as soon as they could walk to develop their athletic prowess early, the “Mission Impossible” star and his wife, Katie Holmes decided to hone their daughter’s inner fashionista instead…

“Katie has her create things and sew and stuff like that. It’s kind of amazing,”

Tom Cruise told US Magazine.

“It’s beautiful. It’s really beautiful.”

And it’s true. Suri Cruise often looks like a pint-sized runway model each time she steps out in public, with her haute couture dresses, faux fur jackets, legging ensembles, ballet flats, kitten heels, and sheepskin boots…and her proud papa says Suri “dresses” herself for each outing.

“She was just born that way. I don’t know what to say,”

Tom Cruise sighed indulgently.

“She really creates her own outfits. She even tells Katie and I what we should wear.”

And it just goes to show how much of Tom and Katie‘s life Suri holds sway over, because the five-year-old princess just handed daddy and mommy a $130,000 Christmas wish list, which includes a pony, diamond earrings, and a fairy princess-type gown…

…just like himself.

We bet Victoria Beckham would just love that.

Tom Cruise and David Beckham have been pals for years, and in fact, Hollywood rumors has heard Tom‘s been questing for the perfect script for Beckham and himself to co-star in a movie together now that he perceives the English football celebrity’s sports career to be slowing down…

“I’d love to do action movies with Beckham. He would be great, he could kick ass,”

Tom Cruise told the London Mirror.

What are you betting David would kick Tom‘s ass first and “bend him like Beckham” before he consents to do a Hollywood movie?

After all, the midfielder hardly needs the money, having a personal net worth of $175 million. Unless of course, he contemplates segueing to a Hollywood career to keep himself in the limelight. But would he?

Still, Tom Cruise says his offer’s still open, but on one condition:

“David would have to teach me to play soccer first,”

Cruise said.

Does Tom Cruise want to be a soccer star, too?

Star news heard either Tom‘s camp or the organizers of his visit paid 200-odd actors…men, women and children…to greet the actor as he touched down in Mumbai airport. They carried posters, streamers, and waved banners, cheering, clapping, and even dancing (because what is India if not the land of Bollywood rhythms?) as Tom Cruise alighted from his plane…

Was it the Rs 150 or the buffet lunch that drew the large crowd of ‘junior artists’ hired for the occasion?

Because as reports have it, it certainly wasn’t the toothy actor that drew them in…

“Tom kaun? I don’t know who he is or what he does.”

One of the “fans” was quoted as saying.

“We were told to come here by 1pm today and wait for a foreign VIP to come out of the airport gate and scream and shout when he came. None of us know who Tom is. There was a buffet lunch also for us and we were paid Rs 150 for this job today. We do this for television shows and other such events where crowds are required.”

Tom Kaun? Who is Tom Kaun?

Exactly.

Star news has known that Tom‘s done some really crazy stunts in his movies, including scaling a sheer rock wall and dangling from a chopper six stories above the ground, but this takes the cake as being the craziest one of all…

The 49-year-old three-time Oscar nominee actually walks out of the tallest building in the world. He’s got all these safety harnesses around him and the camera on a hovering chopper films him braving the strong gusts of wind and the sickening view to wave right at the film crew and go swinging away across the building.

“I was there watching him doing it, which was terrifying… [He] has no fear.

MI4 film producer Bryan Burk revealed.

“He just looked out and looked back in with a big smile on his face, like, ‘Here we go!’ And he was running round the side.”

While Cruise did have a stunt double for just-in-case, all the double got to do was test the safety rigging that Tom used to go swinging around the Burj Khalifa with.

Now detractors of Tom Cruise who’ve been criticizing him for acting taller than he really is should take note that…well, it really seems like he is now…taller, that is.

Watch him go…

And here’s the trailer of Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol while you’re at it:

Images via video grabs

The “Mission Impossible” star, whom Hollywood gossip websites have pegged at 5’7″…okay, a shoe insert-enhanced 5’7″, judging from this photo with much taller 5’9″ wife, Katie Holmes…says he’s hurt at the fan backlash that resulted from reports he was playing a man much taller and way larger than himself.

“Firstly, I’m very sensitive to it,”

Cruise, who believes he could do the role justice, said.

He believes Jack Reacher’s immense height and size “was just one element to his character” in the popular series of suspense thriller books penned by British author, Lee Child.

“Reacher’s size in the books is a metaphor for an unstoppable force, which Cruise portrays in his own way,”

Child himself has said.

It looks like Lee Child doesn’t watch movies all that much, given they’re supposed to be visual feasts to the eyes, and the first thing fans of the Jack Reacher series will notice is that the character playing him is…well…vertically challenged, to put it kindly.

“This is Lee’s book and Lee’s character,”

Cruise is adamant.

“Him giving me his blessing is what made me do it. If he hadn’t then I wouldn’t have done it.”

Let’s all hope Tom Cruise‘s star power is tall enough and large enough to flesh out Jack Reacher’s character, or both Tom and Lee Child (and the movie studio that distributes the film) should be prepared for a straight-to-DVD production.

Hollywood celebrity websites took a good look at the photo above that Tom released via his Twitter account, and admitted he makes a hell of a rock star -  a role he’s taken as Stacee Jaxx in the movie adaptation of the Broadway musical of the same name. We especially like the way his jeans cling to his muscled legs.

For someone approaching 50, Tom has one hell of a physique, rivalring even former “Top Gun” castmate Val Kilmer‘s bare-chested portrayal of the legendary Jim Morrison in “The Doors” 20 years ago.

Question is: can Tom sing?

“He can sing! It’s a miracle!”

“Rock of Ages” director Adam Shankman has been quoted as exclaiming.

Well, we certainly hope that miracle propels Tom back into A-list status, because we’d hate to have to listen to him rambling about Scientology and how it’s going to solve all his has-been-actor problems.

Suri’s tree house—her $100,000 tree house—comes with indoor plumbing, electricity, scurity cameras, and even luxurious shag carpeting. It also comes with a small army of nannies to follow little Suri’s every beck and call.

A family friend says:

“It may sound funny, but Suri now has her dream home… She hosts tea parties there on fine china and watches TV with friends.”

According to reports, Tom and Katie even let 5-year old Suri design and decorate her little treetop abode exactly the way she wanted.

So she’s got a $150,000 shoe collection, and now a $100,000 tree house. What’s next, her own amusement park?

Is Suri a lucky little girl or what?

10. Charlie Sheen

Such a talent that has reportedly self-destructed from outlandish, addictive drug, alcohol and sex parties.The highest paid TV actor got fired from his “Two and A Half Men” gig. How did it happen? The media has obsessively covered Sheen during the past few months — from his drug binging, hooking up with whores and porn stars, trashing of the Plaza hotel room, landing himself in hospital to dodging rehab to his media rants.

Ordinarily, bad publicity spurns a celebrity to withdraw from the public’s eye. But Charlie Sheen has been embracing all the public attention. He has been a fantastic target for Hollywood gossip with his bad behavior for a long time, but this year he is the poster boy for bad Hollywood behavior especially having been fired from “Two Men.” Is he still winning? We are not quite sure but ultimately we believe this is going to hurt his young kids. Sigh.

9.  Mel Gibson

After great acting as Mad Max and William Wallace (Braveheart), in which Gibson performed outstanding physical feats, his physical feats in real life are nothing but a meltdown for him. His long-time marriage to Robyn Gibson took its toll as his cheating allegations started to unfold.. He came public his then girlfriend Okana Gregorieva who was expecting their child. Rewind Mel’s drama.. few years ago before this whole enchilada, Gibson was arrested for drunken driving, in which he was cursing all the Jews of the world. He apologized  for the alleged racial epithets, think it was forgiven and forgotten… but we don’t believe Mel has apologized for the alleged beating of his ex Oksana. Oh and his ex Oksana tape recorded him over and over again making some vile comments which were pretty disgusting.

8. Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay has had to pay dearly financially and emotionally since her meltdown that began in 2007. She was a brilliant child star in many of my favorite movies including Parent Trap. Lindsay has been fresh material for Hollywood gossip websites, as she walks up the steps to another court hearing. It’s been tragic to see this attractive, talented young actress dig deeper and deeper into problems. Here is a short list of just the financial costs up to her trial for jewelry theft.

• January 2007–Wonderland Rehab: $58,000
• May 2007–1st DUI Arrest: $30,000 for bail
• May 2007–Promises Rehab: $54,500
• July 2007–2nd DUI Arrest: $25,000 for bail
• October 2007–Cirque Lodge Treatment Center in Utah: $60,000 (2 months at $30,000 a month)
• May 2010–Failure to appear in court: $100,000 for bail
• June 9, 2010–Violated probation: $200,000 for bail
• August 2010–UCLA Rehab bill: $130,000
• September 25, 2010–Violated probation; failed drug test: $300,000 for bail
• November 2010-January 2011–Betty Ford rehab bill: $150,000
• February 9, 2011–Felony Grand Theft: $20,000 for bail, $20,000 for violating parole

Aside from the financial costs; Not to say the least, it has affected LiLo’s life dramatically.

7. Demi Lovato

Lovato was on tour with the Jonas Brothers last November, and created some rich Hollywood gossip news. Demi punched a dancer in the face, while they were at a stopover at a Peru airport.  She was abruptly  flown back home from the Peru Airport and checked into rehab. Demi has recently revealed that she has a history of eating disorders and compulsively cutting herself. Sad. We hope this is all behind you Demi as we love you and wish you the best of luck.

6. Joaquin Phoenix

On February 14, 2009, Joaquin Phoenix was another gifted actor as a guest on David Letterman’s  Late Night Show. Two years prior, Phoenix was flying high in popularity and success. That night, Phoenix appeared with unkempt hair , a scraggly full beard, thick crooked sunglasses, and lethargic  behavior. It was a bizarre thing to see such an unusual picture of him like this in all the press.  When Letterman asked questions, he could only mutter one syllable answers.  The millions of viewers that night thought certainly he was melting down like his brother, River Phoenix, had done years before. River died from a cocaine overdose. As it all turned out (believe it or not) to be a hoax. He apparently did it to promote his next movie. It made great Hollywood gossip for a long time as well, but the movie, I’m Still Here flopped anyway.

5.  Jesse James

Jesse James was married to Oscar-winner, American sweetheart Sandra Bullock. Right after Bullock won the Oscar last year, one of James’ mistresses, Michelle “Bombshell” McGee decided to come forward and tell the world of their affair. And then there was woman number two, three, etc, etc, etc. Doesn’t he reminds you of Tiger Woods and his countless mistresses? Oh it also reminds me of that song “Mambo Number 5″ but don’t think he stopped at 5 though. Fast forward to today, 2011, Sandra and Jesse are no longer married; and Jesse is no longer with his stripper, Bombshell. He claims to be happier than ever with his new found love Kat Von D and he gives us TMI about how hot she is in the bedroom as compare to his ex Sandra. Honest or cheap? As for Sandra, she’s a mother of a beautiful adopted baby boy and she’s still the American sweetheart.

4. Tom Cruise

Tom became one of the biggest Hollywood gossip news when a spaced-out looking Cruise got down on his knees numerous times and repeatedly jumped up on Oprah’s couch saying that his love for Holmes was “beyond cool.” It sure looked like someone has forgotten to give him his meds. Sure we understand how much you love Katie but.. Oh you’ve got to see the video to know what we’re on about. ( Scroll down to watch Tom Cruise loses it on Oprah below)

3. David Hasselhoff

Back in 2007, a videotape, popped up all over the Internet showing the former Baywatch star looking like he was the one needing a life-saving rescue.  It was instant entertainment news. Hasselhoff was slobbering and muttering incoherently. He was inebriated, sitting in a room of his home. His oldest daughter, Sandy, videotaped this odd picture of a man who once was adored by fans worldwide, who looked like he was on skidrow. Later, Hasselhoff admitted to the press that he fell off the wagon, and has had a drinking problem for some years.  He told Ryan Seacrest that he’s had it with lawyers, but does need an exorcism in a moment of levity.  It’s a fact that maybe at the time Hasselhoff did need an exorcism.  Since then, David has appeared to be a changed man; He’s now watched by millions weekly on America’s Got Talent, and seems quite coherent, even charming. Never say Never.

2. Britney Spears

In the latest celebrity news, Britney and her music career are now back and beautiful. But the pop princess has had her share of meltdowns especially between 2006 – 2007. Britney completely shaved her head bald and the then newly-shaved Spears decided she has had it with the paps tailing her and decided to attack a paparazzo’s car with her umbrella. Oh didn’t we see some strength there, Brit. Can’t really blame her, those photogs are annoying at times but they also make the stars bigger just like us, the gossip bloggers, don’t they? On top of that, the pop princess was  constantly forgetting her panties at home. Britney eventually checked into rehab. It could have been severe postpartum depression who knows but those days are behind Britney now. She’s on top again and she’s got a great man, Jason Trawick and her two absolutely adorable boys. Come on Jason, pop the question, we like you.

1.Tiger Woods

From being the most loved sportsman, his life went into a downward spiral when his cheating allegations began to unfold.. it all started with his famous car crash on the night of Thanksgiving 2009; his then wife Elin Nordegren allegedly came to know of his affair with Rachel Uchitel. The rumor had it and not the least shocking, Elin was chasing after the famous golfing ace with one of his clubs when he drove out of their driveway. She should have gotten his driver instead bummer. Oh it didn’t stop with just Rachel if you have been living under a rock..Then came many many women. Of course Nordegren and Woods are now divorced and no figure of how much the divorce settlement actually ended up into his cheated wife’s bank account but some Hollywood rumors are suggesting somewhere between $100 – 110 million.. methinks it probably works out to be 1 million for each mistress being repaid to his ex-wife, mother of their two young kids. Looks like all the adults are happy.

Now you see even the very rich and famous have issues too.. Money isn’t everything so they say but they are wrong. Without money, you have nothing but a list of bills waiting for you to pay and your landlord coming after you. Ok enough about me being realistic. What do you think? Do you think money plays a big part in your life? Which celeb meltdown would you say is the most absurd?

A few days ago some unflattering pictures of HOLMES were shot with a sort of protruding belly which got the ball rolling.

“She said she’s finally past the morning sickness phase,” an insider tells OK!, revealing that when Katie delivered the news, “she was talking a mile a minute. She’s so excited. Katie said nothing compares to how thrilled Tom is. He has wanted another baby for awhile now.”

I’m just going to put on my cynics hat and say I don’t buy this story. Not at all. I truly believe Tom and Katie have some sort of marriage contract and I don’t believe another child is included. So that’s my theory.

Sounds like the dark ages, but it is true. Tom and a few other people high up in the Scientology hierachy are being investigated for human trafficking and for using unpaid labor. 

The FBI is investigating whether the Church of Scientology engages in human trafficking and uses unpaid labor — including allegations that Tom Cruise had work done on his motorcycles and property by church members who were paid little if anything for their efforts, a new report reveals.

The shocking 26-page exposé in The New Yorker focuses on “Crash” director and Oscar-winning writer Paul Haggis’ decision to quit the church, a spacey blend of self-help and science fiction that critics say uses brainwashing and coercion to indoctrinate and impoverish vulnerable recruits.

Do you think it is unpaid labor or someone wanting to be close to Tom and get recognized? This could be a real tricky case. I bet it will get ugly before it is resolved, however!

While Tom Cruise has been the victim of a slew of bad, mocking press in the past few years Nicole took the high road and only had nice things to say about her ex.

“That was a great relationship. I think it ran its course. I was really damaged and not sure whether [love and marriage] was ever going to happen again to me. I was never seeking to be a celebrity. But I was prepared to do that for love…It’s hard when you’re young. But I’m ready to give up anything for love, because ultimately, that is what you have.”

However, alls well that ends well – Nicole says she has found a soulmate in Keith Urban and the two just welcomed their second child.

Photos: WENN

Nicole has clearly moved on with Keith Urban and Tom Cruise with Katie Holmes, but perhaps there’s some bitter business between the two who also share custody of two children.

“There was no drama, but nobody saw them have a conversation, either. Tom and Nicole stayed apart all night, but they must have seen each other. Everybody was mingling, but they kept their distance.”

Wait didn’t Nicole accuse Tom of tapping their phone lines during the divorce? I somehow remember a lot of drama in 2001 when they split…hmm, maybe this story is true?

Did you know we have a lot of left-handed presidents? In fact 4 out of the most recent 5. Doesn’t that tell you something?

Ronald Reagan — 40th president

George H.W. Bush — 41st

Bill Clinton — 42nd

Barack Obama – 44th and existing president.

Are you a lefty? Do you know any other left-handed celebrities?

The National Enquirer reports:

Tom is in major midlife crisis mode. He’s freaking out over the new lines on his face, the gray hairs on his head and on his face when he shaves. He has started applying Katie’s high-priced facial creams, cleansers and even her makeup – and he loves the results! He even slathers on Katie’s foundation before public events and lightly applies her mascara to make his eyelashes look fuller. Katie is horrified that Tom has resorted to raiding her beauty supplies.”

This doesn’t come as a shock in the slightest. In fact – why doesn’t Tom Cruise have his own makeup and facial products? Now THAT is the story!

more Tom and Katie after the hop…

A source tells the publication:

“He’s been filming Katie and other aspects of his life for the past month. The original impetus was that he would select a few personal clips to show fans, but word has got out through his agents (CAA) and he is currently fielding offers from entertainment companies. Tom is now deliberating what to do with his footage. No deal has been struck…”

Eeeek. Would you want to see how Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes live? Haven’t we seen enough through all the paparazzi pics?

Watch Tom & J Lo’s video after the leap….

Jennifer showed she still has the moves and her body is getting back to where it was. Not quite, but closer.  Tom showed he has…a sense of humor?

Tom Cruise, as his ‘Tropic Thunder’ character Les Grossman, busted a move with J.Lo at the MTV Movie Awards Sunday night to her old song ‘Get Right.’ His Grossman character opened the show.

It was a WTH moment of great magnitude…but at least it was funny. Jennifer and Tom are both aging stars…did they revitalize  their careers with the move…or dance? Or put them in the old fogey category! What do you think it’s a hit or a miss?

More pictures of Tom and Robert after the jump…

Robert seems like a good sport about almost everything – just not talking in public about his girlfriend. But he can make fun of himself anytime!

With Cruise looking unrecognisable as he reprises his role as movie exec Les Grossman from Tropic Thunder, R-Patz steps up to play himself, and proves happy to mock his famous locks in the process.

Chatting to Cruise, in Grossman mode, the Brit actor says he might embark on some preening before the big film awards, and might even shampoo his notoriously dischevelled ‘do.

Things like this make me wonder what Tom is really like. This seems like he was a great sport…what do you think? Who do you like better, Tom or Robert?

more Katie towering over Tom after the jump…

Katie with her arm around his shoulders, Tom’s around her waist, big smile on their faces. Yes they sure look very happy together but awkward to me with her being so much taller with those heels.

Holmes at 5 feet 9 is already two inches taller than Cruise without heels! And with killer heels.. you do the math..

Call me traditional or perhaps I am lame but I’ve always like to see a guy standing taller than a woman.

What do you think? Does it bother you when a woman stands so much taller? Should we try to convince Katie to stop wearing killer heels?

photos: Bauer Griffin

more Tom after the hop…

Tom acted like a maniacal fool, jumping on Oprah‘s couch and yapping about how happy and in love he is. It was theatrical to say the least. The reporter who interviewed Cruise asked why he acted like such a loon. His response:

“What happened, happened… I wanted the audience to be happy just like I wanted to make my sisters and my mother happy when I did those skits as a kid. But I’ll take responsibility for my actions… Afterward, wild things were being said about me, and once they’re in the ether, there’s nothing you can do about it. It felt like being the new kid in the schoolyard again and the other kids are whispering and whispering about you and suddenly you hear what they’re saying, and you think, What? That didn’t happen. Look at the reality of the situation.”

Tom Cruise also swears on a million tabloids that he and Katie are happy as clams and all that tabloid talk is rubbish.

What do you think? Is Tom Cruise crazy or was it all blown out of proportion?
