Redstone....Still thinks Cruise is a Douche-bag
Sumner Redstone has resumed his attack on Tom Cruise, charging in an interview with Vanity Fair that Cruise "was embarrassing the studio. And he was costing us a lot of money." The Viacom chairman peremptorily cut off ties between his Paramount studios and Cruise's production company last August without apparently discussing his decision to do so with then-Viacom chief Tom Freston or Paramount Chairman Brad Grey. However, according to the Vanity Fair interview, he did consult with his wife Paula. "Paula, like women everywhere, had come to hate him. The truth of the matter is, I did listen to her," he said. "His behavior was entirely unacceptable to Paula and to the rest of the world. He just didn't turn one [woman] off. He turned off all women, and a lot of men." Redstone estimated that Cruise's controversial appearances on the Today show, when he chastised interviewer Matt Lauer for being "glib" and on Oprah, when he jumped on Winfrey's couch, cost Paramount "$100 million, $150 million on Mission: Impossible III. It was the best picture of the three, and it did the worst." Redstone concluded that his decision to axe Cruise "sent a message to the rest of the world that the time of the big star getting all this money is over. And it is! I would like to think that what I did, or what we did, has had a salutary effect on the rest of the industry."
A novel concept, this guy is costing us millions of dollars we should punish him. Bout time somebody in Halloywood figured that one out.

Some nasty things that CoS has done.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Freakout
"Operation PC Freakout was the name given by the Church of Scientology to a covert plan undertaken by the Church in 1976, with the goal of harassing Paulette Cooper, author of a book critical of Scientology titled The Scandal of Scientology. The plan came to light when the FBI seized several documents related to Operation Freakout from church offices in Los Angeles in 1977 during the investigation of Operation Snow White. The documents indicated the purpose of Operation Freakout was to have Paulette Cooper "incarcerated in a mental institution or jail or at least to hit her so hard that she drops her attacks".[1] The strategy was to fabricate evidence that Cooper was guilty of issuing bomb threats against the Church, Henry Kissinger, Arab nations, and a laundromat. The seized documents were used to prosecute and convict Scientology officials in 1979.
The Church of Scientology continued to harass Paulette Cooper following Operation Freakout, filing numerous lawsuits against her throughout the 1970s and 1980s."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Snow_White
"Operation Snow White was the name given internally by the Church of Scientology to a program which included the single largest infiltration of the United States government in history.[1] Under this program, Scientology operatives committed infiltration, wiretapping, and theft of documents in government offices, most notably those of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. Eleven highly-placed Church executives, including Mary Sue Hubbard (wife of founder L. Ron Hubbard and second in command of the organization), pleaded guilty or were convicted in federal court of obstructing justice, burglary of government offices, and theft of documents and government property. The case was United States vs. Mary Sue Hubbard et al., 493 F. Supp. 209 (D.D.C. 1979)"
Wow.
Seeing what the blog is, and seeing what this anonymous person wrote, it does start to make one think that SCientology had it right when they started recruiting celebs into the ranks. After all, we've practically made celebs the new royalty of this world! People listen to what they have to say.
The trouble though, is that when Tom Cruise speaks, he sounds like an imbecile. Scientology may come to regret having recruited him!
Muahahahaha!
He was right to get rid of cruize. the crazy path doesn't veer back to the main road. CRuise ain't comin' back folks. He crossed the line in the scary place a loooooong time ago.
Dude needs a long session in a rubber room with the raw ends of some high voltage wires.
