Tom Cruise
Ah, those pre-nuptial agreements. They work.
Katie Holmes won’t get a cent of Tom Cruise’s money. That is, except for $340,000 a year for their daughter Suri. Cruise has a $240 million fortune.
What aren’t you seeing eye-to-eye with today?

Call it second sight. Call it bullshit. I know the exact moment when Tom Cruise decided he’d have Katie Holmes.
It was in the excellent 2005 movie, “Batman Begins”. Ms Holmes, playing public attorney Rachel Dawes, is strapped in a basement in a tight, heaving dress. The diabolical Dr Jonathon Crane stands over her wearing a creepy hessian mask.
She looked extraordinary. But it was Tom Cruise, not Batman, who decided to rescue her.

The trouble bertrand, is that we have a society that “gets off” over hating religion. The new “religion” is “anti-religion” and thier lies, and the idioicy of this belief systems has no limits. Calling Scientology a cult seems to help them, so they just repeat it over and over… try… Read more »

After five years, the marriage of Oscar-nominated bouncer-on-televised-couches, Tom Cruise, and Dawson’s Creek star Katie Holmes, blew up at the weekend.
Now, analysing a celebrity relationship isn’t The Punch’s forte and it never will be. Not quite sure what their problem was. All we know is it’s awful that their child’s home is a broken one.
Regardless, the Power Couple’s meltdown has provided another flash of insight into the disturbing reality of the religion-cum-cult of Scientology. Even if that insight comes from gossip websites, who claim that Holmes was afraid Cruise would drag their five-year-old daughter Suri further into the “church” of Scientology.

Only have to go to America, kitteh - no working with modern medicine - new resurgence among multiple strands of christianity (from Mormons, JWs, roman catholics, ‘christians’) all with the dubious honour of deaths via ‘faith healing’, or purely lack of medical care because ‘god would take care of it’.

Reading here, seems there is a lot of misinformation about religion being written in preceding posts. No surprise really considering this article is about Scientology. Do people understand Scientology is based on a work of fiction? Religions do not base themselves on fiction. Some people born in the modern era… Read more »
(Now with improved video!) Tom Cruise has appeared in character as Les Grossman, the dancing, ultra-foul-mouthed movie producer he played in Tropic Thunder, at the MTV Movie Awards. He appeared on stage with Jennifer Lopez.
If you aren’t familiar with Les Grossman, you’re missing out. Some of the dialogue scenes are too foul to put even on The Punch (no, really) but here’s the credits scene for Tropic Thunder as an introduction.
