Tom Cruise to Aussie TV reporter: "OK, just put your manners back in"
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8088509/



Tom Cruise displayed a darker persona during a recent interview with an Australian TV reporter when a journalist quizzed him about his relationship with ex-wife Nicole Kidman.

After berating Overton for poking fun at his chosen religion, Scientology, Cruise got serious when the reporter asked one too many questions about his family. When Overton posed, “Do you have a relationship where you talk... a parenting relationship and talk professionally about each other's work?” Cruise glared at his interviewer and stopped him dead in his tracks.

The movie star said, “Listen, here's the thing, Peter, you're stepping over a line now... and you know you are.”

When Overton insisted he was only asking questions the public wanted to know, Cruise shot back, “Take responsibility for what you want to know... This is a conversation that I'm having with you right now. So I'm just telling you right now, OK, just put your manners back in.”

4. Or suggest denial of sexual orientation and the using and discarding
...of a bevy of actress-beards to further one's career! That'll getcha a lawsuit!

2. Is there a certain vitamin that reporter could take to "put his manners
back in"?

3. Strange person...
...maybe he should a bid on the Neverland Ranch if Michael Jackson ends up needing to move. Cruise can turn it into a Scientology and celibacy camp.

5. Fair to middling actor, nothing special. Certainly no great thespian
of our times. Tom is "the Cruise" largely because of the hype. New motion picture, new barage of Tom-hype. First stop, Oprah, the MAIN Tom-hype collaborator. How many times over the last 10 years has Tom rushed to gushing Oprah to tell us all about the new developments in his life/career? Too fucking many. Is he gay or straight? Who cares, because he's boring. Fantasy guy for trailer trash land.

Memo to Tom: Give it a rest. You're stinking rich. Please, pull a Madonna and go somewhere where you can enjoy it QUIETLY. We don't need to have the "reel" journalists enlighten us about every flippin' thing you put in your mouth... or not.
