Laughing at Tom Cruise

Yesterday I saw the report where Tom Cruise got squirted in the face with a squirt gun by a ficticious reporter at the opening of one of his movies overseas. He laughed at first and then held on to the guys hands so he couldn't get away. The man posed as a reporter to get the prank on film for a television show that pulls pranks on celebrities. I hope that the irony isn't lost on you.

As of late Tom has had his face everywhere and he seems to enjoy the limelight. He's even placed his proposal to Katie Holmes on display for the entire world to see. Not to mention his scientology. Which by the way he wasn't displaying very well the serenity and inner peace of an upper level practitioner when he was seething mad at the squirt gun assailant and restraining him physically. Nor was he displaying well when he used the media immediately to degrade the assailant. But enough of that digression. Rather look at the irony. Tom who ostensibly wouldn't be anyone without the media industry was "attacked" by one of his own. Which showed the world that the megastars aren't really. He reacted rather humanly. But the t.v. show guy and Tom are cut from the same cloth. They need each other. If Tom doesn't get the coverage he becomes a nobody and if the t.v. guy doesn't have Tom his show isn't all that interesting. Sorry Mr. Funt but it's already been done.

I guess what I'm trying to say is Hollywood, yer all wet. *snicker snicker*
