Has Tom Cruise been acting weird? JRM: All I can tell you is that it's a tasty movie. Tom is a cool, intense guy. I'm also an intense guy, so it's been working out great. ... As for stories, the first day of shooting, Tom and I were on this speedboat. That was the first time I met Tom. We're sitting there on the boat and Tom is driving for the take. The next thing I hear is him singing under his breath, 'Da-da-da-da-da-doodle-do.' He was so excited that he was humming the "Mission: Impossible" theme song. At first I thought they put the soundtrack on to give us more of a buzz. But then I realized it was Tom singing the theme. ... And yes, Katie [Holmes] has been around. She's a great girl. Sweet. Gentle. Smart. Very much in love with Tom. From: JoBlo Top 10 grossers of 2005 1. Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith $ 380.3 From: MSNBC What’s in a name? Get ready for Dellen Cruise. That’s what Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes told Ellen Degeneres that they’d name their unborn child if it’s a boy. If it’s a girl, the name will be Ellen. They were kidding, of course. We hope. DeGeneres also offered to be the child’s godmother — and to babysit. “Send it over because, babysitting I think is like $12.00 an hour,” the talk show host tells Cruise on a segment of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” that airs today. “Is it really?” Cruise asks. “And they will take advantage of you for like $15.00,” DeGeneres adds. “Can we negotiate?” the mega star inquires. “Oh,” replies Degeneres. “I’ll do it for less.” |
