Tom, lose the beard, get out of the closet, pony up for the kid, and stay off of Oprah.

Tom Cruise's great crime is that he criticized Big Pharma. Ever since he told the truth about psychiatric drugs, he cannot get an ouce of good press. It seems most on this blog have fallen for the media's Big Pharma attack on Tom Cruise.

The truth about psychiatric drugs...
Is that so many find great relief and live normal lives because of them. As with anything else, there are some who abuse or overprescribe, and some who have adverse reactions. But that doesn't negate the many who benefit so well.

Cruises PR is working overtime this week. Everywhere I look, Tom Cruise! He isn't even that interesting of a person.

Personal ?....how does jolly ol saint nick, aka santa clause aka jesus christ...play into scientolgy? I am seriously wondering because i'm not religious...at all, but i feel like a huge ass hypocrit and suffer through it "for the kids". Is is the same for scientologists?

Santa is Jesus? I don't think so incontempt. Santa comes (I think) from an old Northern Europe "end of year celebration" tradition that was commandeered by the church to gain more supporters for their jesus myth thing.

Many adults do placate the kiddies because they don't wish for them to feel left out of the festivities. Does this make them a "huge hypocrit (sic)"? I really don't think so. I've tried to get my kids to make up their own "end of year" festival. I even suggested Frank Zappa day (he was born Dec. 21... close enough) and they seemed cool with that for about oh, one season. The presents were there, the holiday cheer, Inca Roads played softly in the background as they opened their bounty, but alas peer pressure and wanting to fit in won out. Oh well. It's not like my atheist wife and I went marching down the isle to the preacher-man when we got married, or pray to assorted mythology when the social occasion dictates.

Where your kids are concerned, you have to give and take... Giving more often. I would imagine Cruise has the bank to give quite a bit.

Thanks for the reply, I doubt it will parse the hypocrit feelings but we are of the same mind...every kid gets a present, my son gets spoiled though he believes in santa but not in god, whew, there was no parent calls when he said he argued it out in second grade class. lol

Well he's been fried by Scientology--I'll give you that. But I'm agnostic and celebrate Christmas and I have Jewish friends who do the same. To me it's about a tradition I grew up with (presents, tree, being nice to people, family together, Santa), which can be celebrated exclusively from the depths of the religious mythology that accompanies it. I mean some of the mythology is fun, just not to the point that people don't get it's mythology.

What? Scientologists celebrating Christmas? I don't understand.

This "interview" is pure spin to counter all the real stuff this KOOK does and is up to.

Didn't see the interview. I don't want to see it. However, did anyone notice the fluffed or raised up couch pillow he's using so he won't be inches shorter than Oprah? Hate to be catty, but come on, Tom, own up to your true height. It's the least you can do considering you won't own up to...whoops, the phone is ringing. Have to get back to this comment. ++smirk++

The house, the location, the family--it's gorgeous.

I just read an interview today with Ronald DeWolf (L. Ron Hubbard's son), which contrasts so much with the "golden" image of Scientology. It's eery. I'm not saying what the son says is true. Even if none of what he said is true, the fact that L. Ron Hubbard's son is telling Penthouse magazine that his father believed himself to be Satan and worked with the KGB--well it just doesn't speak highly of a man who claims to give people the power to move matter with their mind.

Obviously Tom Cruise does well for himself. I happen to think that's he's gotten very high within Scientology without having seen the guts of it.

Here's the article:

This is escapism and not reality.
The average poor citizen is on a different planet in a different world.
Gas prices, home price devaluation, the war, job loss, food prices, no leadership in washington.
All of these problems due in part to an elective, trillion dollar war with 4000 dead sons and daughters.
The average citizen is f**ked.
