I heard this news earlier from another place. It seems that people are all interested in him. No wonder so many people discussing it at interracialromancing.com

St. Martin’s Press — the NYC-based publisher of Andrew Morton’s explosive new book Tom Cruise: An Unauthorized Biography— is striking back against the actor.
According to Publisher’s Weekly, Cruise has threatened to file a $100 million lawsuit over the book, which says that Katie Holmes signed a $3 million pre-nup and that Cruise once hit on Jennifer Garner, among other claims.
But in an exclusive statement to Usmagazine.com, a St. Martin’s Press rep says:
“In the two years that we have worked with Andrew Morton on this book, we have been deeply impressed by his commitment to going beyond the rumors to get the facts that would enable him to paint a balanced and accurate portrait of such an enigmatic public figure.
“It is unfortunate that lawyers for both Mr. Cruise and Scientology have felt the need to threaten us with legal action at every step of the way.
“While the book has been variously accused of being too scandalous and not scandalous enough, we believe that those who take the time to read it will find a consistently fair—and consistently fascinating—portrait of the real Tom Cruise.”

Oh hush. Tom Cruise is going to save America :)
Actually Scientology has had legal issues in other countries as a result of their practices. Not because they believe in aliens, but how they promise things, insist they are right, and charge.
They are the only instance of Canada charging a group with Breach of Public Trust. They were found guilty twice. As a result of that case they were also found guilty of libel due to the Enemy Canada file they kept on the Crown Attorney and their attempt to smear his name.
They have had man libel cases in the US. Another in the UK.
Belgium investigated them for years and concluded they had swindled people out of money, blackmailed, broke trade and privacy laws, illegally practiced medicine, and formed a criminal organization.
They are not recognized as a religion in many areas. They were only recognized in the US as such after lawsuits. They spent over $30,000,000 (yes, million) in 1988 alone in legal fees. They had filed over 2,000 lawsuits against the IRS before the IRS gave in in 1993. They had a history of fraud and somehow came out smelling like roses, paying about $12,500,000 on it's tax bill of $1,000,000,000. There was an agreement for IRS Technical Division to not review Scientology's paperwork for compliance. The IRS agreed not to audit them from anytime before 1993.
This riling is what allows them to declare themselves a religion, but is full of questionable and unprecedented rulings.
9:09, You're stupid. I'm not much a fan of Tomkat's, but you're getting all excited about a book filled with speculation and rumors.
9:54, I agree.
Morton's book is basically a Google search of every rumor, gossip and lie he could possibly find on the internet about Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and Scientology.
Wake up people. Celebrity hate media are pulling a fast one on you.
I don't think we should start boycotting Tom Cruise movies just because his religious beliefs are different from ours. We live in a country that allows each of us the freedom to practice whatever religion we choose. Now, I have not read the book but I don't understand the comment about the government going after Scientologists by using the RICO act. Do you really think that Scientologists are members of organized crime? Also, luckily, the government can't just take away anyone's 'religious designation' because otherwise, many religions in the US would be eliminated. Sure, Scientologists have some bizarre ideas and convictions but have any of you ever seen "Jesus Camp"? Can you tell me that the kids in that movie were any less F$#ked than Tom Cruise is in his beliefs. There are zealots in every religion and unfortunately, they give a bad name to all others who practice that religion. Are TC's ideas any stranger than those who believe that if they martyr themselves they will have 69 (I forget the exact number) of Virgins waiting for them in heaven? I know I'm rambling but man I truly do believe in our Constitution and think that we should criticize actors for their acting abilities (or lack thereof)but leave their religious convictions alone, regardless of how f%$ked up they are.
I bought Andrew's book this past Tuesday. I finished it yesterday. I could barely put it down. It is excellent! I did start to wonder about him after the whole Oprah thing. He and Katiebot are LOSERS! You have to feel for Nicole during her time with the weirdo. I have told soooo many people about the book. Here's the thing though people have to stop paying to see his movies. Hollywood needs to get rid if him and for that matter the other wacked out scientologist movies stars too. They are so full of themselves.
You can probably bet your arse that the publisher knew exactly what would be coming in the way of lawsuits. I applaud them for putting this book out know that it probably can and will make their lives and the author's life miserable for years to come.
Now the government needs to get some balls and take away their religious designation. Go after them with R.I.C.O. instead and put all those criminals in jail where they belong.
The lies Cruise says about the psychiatry and any other organization as a whole are not the most dangerous ones. Those are the lies he tells people who are looking for a cure. He promises a cure to people and others.
Speculation that Morton has done is nothing different that what other people have done on these very boards for a long time. He just put it in print. I am sure he also has his sources and has covered his ass. Rita Cosby's case reminded people of not chiecking and Cruise is known to sue. Also, this speculation is not going to harm Cruise. From what I have seen there is nothing in here shocking, nothing new.
What is new? we all know He slept around with a lot of women and men too. And he very dangerous. He never learn from his attack on Brook shildes. He is what a six grade student with no ablity to see the other side.

I think many found it boring to talk about tom cruise and his belives. It is his right to practice what he belive but shoving it to others with attack is costing him and is very annoying.

Windy, first of all, even if she was an IV baby, what business is that of yours, or anyone else's??? And how do you know "for a fact" she wasn't conceived naturally? The point is, who is Andrew Morton to speculate, and to make published claims Suri isn't Tom's baby?!! Say what you want about Tom, he's chosen a life in the public eye, but leave his kids out of it. Additionally, these speeches Tom made were at Scientology gatherings. Could there be a more appropriate place to make them? What if I used a tape recording from a preacher's sermon one Sunday and said, "Look! This guy is nuts! He believes a man rose from the dead!" What's more bizarre than TC's beliefs, is people obsession with them.
Oh come on! Do u know for a fact she isn't from in-vitro? I mean I heard Tom's take on sex and honestly either he hasn't been laid properly or he is just completely asexual! She is Tom's and I never will deny that, but I do seriously belive as stated in previous posts that I think the Scientologist DO look at Suri as a reincarnation of Ron L. Hubbard, so not so far fetched that this rumor MIGHT have gotten started. I seriously doubt any real publishing company would go up against TOM CRUISE unless they checked, rechecked and then triple checked this guy's sources and such. So yea some crap in this book may be "rumors" but I bet money those "rumors" have some merit... as most do.
I'm not trying to fight you. I just don't see how Andrew Morton making up blatant lies about TC's life and saying horrible things about his innocent daughter has anything to do with Tom Cruise speaking out against drug companies.
Spreading lies such as that Suri is not his kid and that she was made from frozen sperm from the founder of scientology is enough, i mean Suri is a clone of Cruise she looks identical to him, while i don't like Cruise the writer of that book is from England a country that is abuzz with gossip even so worst then the usa.
Yes anyone who is not a Scientologist! Sorry! Don't want to fight and won't but he is a dangerous man!
8:29 PM Windy Says:
Tom Cruise is not defaming a specific person, he's talking about an entire organization as a whole.
I've spent some time with the book. What do you expect from a mama's boy, dyslexic, peanut, only son among four kids with a hard-ass father who's idea of playing ball with his boy was hurling baseballs at his face and body and then not letting him cry when the ol' man hit his mark?
Yea well people that spread lies from their mouths should be held accountable as well!
Tom is a freak and I can't wait for this book to come out. He is GAY and his marriage is a lie.
Companies who write defamatory remarks need to be held accountable. Enough is enough with lies.
I can't wait to read this book. I am fascinated by people who are disturbed. I do feel bad for his captives though (Katie & kids)...think what will happen if they, "aren't on board".
THANK YOU
Why the need to repeat? THAT looks obsessive.
Actually Libraesque,
You are looking pretty silly hun. It's one thing to comment, good or bad, but you can tell your hatred for Tom Cruise is like WAY over the top, like it actually affects your life, and I don't think you've ever actually met the guy.
obssession? what constitutes obssession?
careful now how you answer that one! Because I posted comments here yesterday and today and before that...I really can't remember....so if ya start spouting off ALL the sites you know that I go to (yea..all two of them) you ONCE AGAIN are gonna sound like the whacked out psycho FREAKS that you clearly are (your hilarious comment "that so many of us find frighting".......really now....SO MANY of you.... who? all you $cientologists on this board, or???????)
Wait....so Libraesque is obsessed because she goes to more than one blog and comments about Cruise?
But if someone knows this...don't they do the same thing?
Sounds like a troll to me!
