Finally an opportunity to post about two of my pet peeves: Tom Cruise and the French.
It seems that our froggy friends have had it up to here (imagine me motioning above my head) with Cruise’s cultish ways, and have decided to give him the Wesley Snipes treatment.
It seems Hollywood star Tom Cruise’s wacky behaviour is turning off more than his fans – whole cities are now declaring him persona non grata.The Paris city hall has pledged “never to welcome” the actor to the city of love – all because of his membership of the Church of Scientology.Cruise and film director J.J. Abrams have also been banned from filming upcoming action flick Mission: Impossible 3 in the Vatican.In a debate late yesterday, Paris’ Socialist-controlled municipal assembly approved a resolution “never to welcome Cruise, spokesman for Scientology and self-declared militant for this organisation”.
Ok, I am no fan of Cruise. But “militant”? I thought this word was synonym for “terrorist” – at least according to the mainstream media’s use of the term. And at last count, the only thing Cruise had perhaps killed was his career.
Update: I wonder if Oprah’s friendship with Cruise is the real reason for this.
