Anyone think Tom Cruise + Katie Holmes,Russel Crowe are doing stunts for PR.

I think they go a little way overboard to sell their movies. Russel Crowe throwing his phone at somebody for no damn reason except to get his photo taken wearing a 'Cinderillaman' jacket. Pure media manipulation . I would love to clock that guy. And Tom Cruise and that teen he's fu**ing are so damn annoying. Anyways any movie that guy in sucks. Batman looks like a must see. NOT !

Your first mistake is giving a rat's ass what anyone in Hollyweird is doing.

In their defense, if I could make a couple extra thousand bucks for pegging you with a cell phone I wouldn't even warn you to duck.

I think the Cruise thing is. 100%

I know nothing about the Crowe thing, but I wouldn't doubt that it is as well.

I've reached the point where I believe everything celebrities do is for publicity.

Tom Cruise pops the question

Katie Holmes sports massive ring after Eiffel Tower proposal

The Associated Press
Updated: 9:08 a.m. ET June 17, 2005

PARIS - Actor Tom Cruise said he and girlfriend Katie Holmes are engaged, after he popped the question early Friday morning atop the Eiffel Tower.

Cruise, speaking at a Paris news conference with Holmes, said: “Yes, I proposed to her.”

The couple often shared smiles and blushes as Cruise turned to look at her, with a massive diamond ring on her finger.

“It was early this morning at the Eiffel Tower, so I haven’t slept at all,” he said. “Today is a magnificent day for me, I’m engaged to a magnificent woman.”

Asked why he chose the famed Paris landmark, he said: “I’ve never been to the Eiffel Tower. It’s Paris, it’s a beautiful city, it’s very romantic.”

'One step at a time'
Cruise said no date for a wedding has been set: “We haven’t discussed that — one step at a time,” he said. “Let’s see. We’re not sure.”

Cruise, 42, was in Paris to promote the French release of the Steven Spielberg film “War of the Worlds” next month. He and 26-year-old Holmes went public with their romantic relationship in April.

Holmes did not speak to reporters, but at one point, Cruise whispered to her: “Are you OK?” Afterward, the two hurried into a car before leaving for a promotional event in Marseilles, southern France.

“I wish them the happiest marriage that anyone has ever had,” said Dakota Fanning, the child actress who co-stars with Cruise in the film. She sat next to Holmes during the news conference.

Cruise and Holmes have faced repeated rumors of marriage. The relationship started after Cruise split from actress Penelope Cruz, and Holmes and actor Chris Klein called off their long-standing engagement.

A publicity stunt?

While in Berlin two days ago, Cruise dismissed speculation by tabloid newspapers and celebrity gossip columns that their relationship is a stunt to promote their new movies.

Holmes was in London earlier this week to promote her new film, “Batman Begins.” She had also dismissed accusations that the couple had staged a relationship for publicity.

Holmes said then that she was embracing Scientology — Cruise’s religion. The former star of television’s “Dawson’s Creek” grew up with a poster of Cruise on her bedroom wall and has said she grew up wanting to marry him.

Tom Cruise has always been annoying. Russell Crowe has always been an asshole. Katie Holmes has always been over-rated.

In fact I remember seeing a write up in USA Today I think it was, that ranked the biggest celebrity assholes and easiest to get along with. Russell Crowe was the #1 asshole followed closely by Toby McGuire. Britney Spears was the #1 easy to get along with.

Cruise is a flake. So's Travolta. And Ann Archer, Giovanni Ribisi, Barry Pepper, Isaac Hayes, and any number of those weak minded fools who join that cult. I guess we'll have to count Holme in there as well.

That said, Nicole Kidman ought to write a freakin' expose on what it was like living with the midget.

HC_Chief · 06-17-2005, 07:50 AM

The next time some celebrity wants to lecture you on politics or the environment or war, please keep in mind the other insane stuff they believe and the genuine disdain they have towards you. Have no doubt, Hollywood is filled with drug-addict, whore-chasing, ****-ups who sincerely do believe that they’re better then the mechanic in Mississippi who loves his wife and kids. The only good news is that they’re rich and easily duped, so anyone with a moose costume and a flashlight could probably convince a bunch of them that only the MooseLight Foundation can show the way to true enlightenment. That should be good for at least a few million.

She's prolly glad she can finally wear shoes with heels.

I have a better question. Does anyone really give a rat's ass?

Is a pig's ass pork?

jynni · 06-17-2005, 08:16 AM

Don't know about Crowe as he's always been a tightly wound Raidershead. He has a bad habit of knocking people around.

The TomKat thing is 100% a PR stunt. The poor clam has finally gone off the deep end.

chagrin · 06-17-2005, 08:19 AM

I wish he and Keanu would get married already and get the whole thing over with!

jspchief · 06-17-2005, 08:25 AM

So now he's proposed...

When do Batman and War of the Worlds open in theaters? Oh, what an amazing coincidence. Batman just released, and War of the Worlds releases in a week and a half. Blind luck that the publicity from this proposal happens to create a buzz at the same time these two people are trying to make a bang at the box office.

The only thing more pathetic than faking love to sell movies is the fact that it works like a charm.

Goapics1 · 06-17-2005, 08:32 AM

She is still a virgin and will not have sex until married. I believe ole' Tommy boy is gettin' hitched so he can slap that ass IMHO.
