The sinking of the Titanic
As the gossip pundits race to put the snark on this delicious piece of news, I will hold my tongue and lay it out for you to play it out. Paramount is firing Tom Cruise. Yehp. And why, you might ask? Well from the horse’s mouth:
In an unusually public rebuke, Viacom Inc. Chairman Sumner Redstone said that his company’s movie studio, Paramount Pictures, plans to end its 14-year relationship with the 44-year-old Mr. Cruise and his film-production company. In an interview, Mr. Redstone, who is 83, was clear about the reason: Mr. Cruise’s public antics and incessant stumping for personal causes, notably Scientology, have become intolerable and have been a drag on ticket sales for films like “Mission: Impossible III.”
Mr Cruise’s spin doctors are already hard at work. We say Fired. We know he’s nuts.
Save Katie!
