Elevator Shoes Shoes! Stunts Tom Cruise

TOM CRUISE DOES ALL THOSE STUNTS IN ELEVATOR SHOES!

Tom Cruise may be 58, but that doesn’t deter him in ANY way from doing his own perilous stunts, and he loves the fact that it’s become his trademark. It’s all the more amazing that he’s an action star because he does all that running and jumping in elevator shoes! The 5’7” actor noticed early on that he was shorter than most of his costars and leading ladies, and he sought out the finest height enhancing shoes that money can buy. Now even his sneakers make him taller. (Keep in mind, all his pants have to be the perfect length to disguise the shoes.) Tom had a custom shoemaker in Beverly Hills that could add at least three hidden inches to almost any style shoe, but now that he’s living in the UK, he must have found a special shoemaker there.

Masculinity Mission Impossible Stunts Tom Cruise

TOM CRUISE CAN’T STOP TRYING TO PROVE HIS MASCULINITY

Seems like every movie that Tom Cruise, 58, makes lately is centered around his character performing extravagant – and potentially dangerous -stunts, while the plot takes a back seat to the action. It’s also interesting that so many of Tom’s stunts are filmed on accessible European streets and documented by paparazzi and passers-by. We are CONSTANTLY reminded of Tom’s audacity and physical skills. In fact, Tom’s stunts have become the most important part of his films. Who is he trying to impress? Is he validating the fact that he is a hot guy – or trying desperately to convince himself? Right now he’s careening through the streets of Rome in a car with no doors, filming Mission Impossible 7, apparently enjoying the attention.

Dogs Katie Holmes Suri Cruise Tom Cruise

SURI CRUISE IS THRIVING WITHOUT BENEFIT OF A FATHER

Just as everyone expected, Suri Cruise, 14, is growing up to be a very cute girl – even with a mask on. Her mother Katie Holmes has been careful to keep Suri out of the limelight so far – she avoids talking about her daughter in interviews, and Suri rarely appears at any events with her mother. Suri’s father Tom Cruise never talks about her – OR sees her! Suri goes to a $56,000 a year private school and she gets good grades. Katie says she has enjoyed isolating with Suri – they did simple things, like cooking dinner or tie-dyeing some clothes together, or playing with their dogs. Tom doesn’t know what he’s missing…

Mission Impossible Scientology Thandie Newton Tom Cruise

THANDIE NEWTON: WORKING WITH TOM CRUISE CAN BE A MISSION IMPOSSIBLE

We are almost as delighted as Leah Remini was to hear the remarks that Thandie Newton made about Tom Cruise when they filmed Mission Impossible II back in 2000. Tom Cruise’s costars rarely say a WORD about him because he is a powerful figure in Hollywood AND a Scientology ambassador. Thandie’s comments were not actually BAD – but you can read between the lines. She described Tom as extremely dominant – he feels that only HE knows how to do everything best. It’s HIS way or the highway. Most important, she said he “tries superhard to be a NICE person.” Apparently it’s a huge effort. Scientology demands that their celebrities APPEAR to be friendly and likeable – especially when they’re handing out Scientology literature! If Tom was so controlling 20 years ago, what’s he like NOW?

Esai Morales Mission Impossible Tom Cruise Villain

ESAI MORALES IS NOW THE BAD GUY

It’s about time. At long last, Esai Morales has been cast in a blockbuster big budget film that will undoubtedly open doors for him. Of course Esai is a long-term successful actor – since Bad Boys and La Bamba, he has worked constantly. (He’s also an activist – for Latinx issues and SAG) Recently he appeared on Criminal Minds as FBI agent Cruz, and you might have seen him on Ozark or Curb Your Enthusiasm. We’re happy to see that Esai just landed a juicy role playing the VILLAIN who torments Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible 7. He and Tom are the same age- 57- and a good match. We expect handsome Esai to steal the scenes he shares with Tom!

Katie Holmes Lookalike Scientology Suri Cruise Tom Cruise

SURI CRUISE IS NOW A DEAD RINGER FOR HER DAD TOM CRUISE !

Growing up, Suri Cruise looked a lot like her cute mom Katie Holmes, BUT the 13 year old is gradually morphing into a duplicate of her father Tom Cruise! Look at that face! Remember, Tom hasn’t seen Suri since 2013 – one year after Katie filed for divorce. It’s assumed that Tom gave Katie got full custody of their child in exchange for her never speaking out about Scientology. And she hasn’t. But we wonder how Tom can see these photos of his lookalike daughter and not feel torn up inside about not having a relationship with her.

Flowers Suri Cruise Tom Cruise

SURI CRUISE APPRECIATES THE RIGHT THINGS

Suri Cruise was walking down the street in Manhattan with friends when she spotted these beautiful spring flowers in full bloom. She found them so appealing that she had to pull out her phone and photograph them from all sides. Suri just turned 13 and it looks like Katie Holmes did a good job of raising her as a single mother. Her father Tom Cruise remains true to Scientology and chooses not to spend time with is daughter. Look what he’s missing…

Jamie Foxx Katie Holmes Tom Cruise Undercover

OH YEAH, KATIE HOLMES AND JAMIE FOXX ARE UP TO SOMETHING…

Let’s face it, nobody was really SURE about what’s been going on between Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx. We’d see a photo of them walking and chatting together occasionally, but he lives in LA and Katie lives in New York, so it wasn’t all that often. Was it romance or just friendship? This week, Katie and Jamie have been seen walking around HOLDING HANDS in both LA and New York (including the Century City Westfield mall!) SOMETHING has changed. Jamie was once Tom Cruise’s friend, but now he sees Suri Cruise regularly, and Tom doesn’t see her at all. Puzzling and fascinating…

SURI CRUISE AND HER PINK POSSE

Remember when you were 12, and sometimes you and your best friends dressed alike? Suri Cruise (on the right) and her New York pals decided it was a pink day before they all went shopping together. Suri is growing up fast – she’s carrying a handbag and wearing pink lipstick. Nice to see that Katie Holmes is giving Suri a normal life- if Suri was a Scientologist her life might be very different. As it is, Suri reportedly hasn’t seen her father Tom Cruise in person for five years and it’s hard to imagine how he explains that to her…

Leah Remini Scientology Tom Cruise

AS IF TOM CRUISE DIDN’T HATE LEAH REMINI ENOUGH

We have no plans to see it, but the fact that Tom Cruise’s latest Mission Impossible epic is a huge success will no doubt bolster public interest in Scientology and boost ratings for Leah Remini’s A&E series Scientology and the Aftermath. Coincidentally or not, we hear that Leah plans to focus on Cruise for the third season of the series. (The church started up its own TV network in March, which has been described as an “extended church infomercial” pointing out the church’s generosity and good deeds.) Because of the Tom Cruise scrutiny, our hero Remini admits she expects the church’s harassment of her will increase accordingly and she’s taking appropriate security measures.
