Tom Cruise Oprah Love Fest Part 2 - A Play by Play In Real Time
So Oprah and Tom are back on the couch. This time to celebrate Tom's 25 years in show business based on his first starring role, "Risky Business." To be honest, Tom really is a great actor, he'd be in the ranks of Tom Hanks, Robert Redford, Paul Newman category if it weren't for that detour he took way back in the 80's. Moving on......
So Oprah has some surprises in store for Tom in the way of Hollywood friends telling us how awesome Tom is.
Please tell me that's not Will Smith and Jada Pinkett sucking up to Tom on the show? Oprah introduced them as his "two best friends." Oh geez, will the circuitous circle jerk between these two couples just stop already. If my best friend got up there to do a retrospective on me, I can guarantee you there would be a fair amount of ball-busting, not butt-licking.
Tom looks beat down and tired.
Oprah really loves the money doesn't she. I loved her reference to her own wealth when she asked Tom if there was ever a time when he didn't think there'd be another movie, and he stated at some point he knew he was set, and Oprah must have been waxing poetic on her trillions in the bank when she said, "yeah about five years ago I realized I AM FILTHY RICH." Or something like that. Oh, the things she can buy...
And we're back with Tom doing a terrible job of Righteous Brothers "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin" from "Top Gun" but that's ok, he was still cute then.
Tom has a need for speed. (As an aside, he and CoS head David Miscavige like to outdo each other with motorcycles and cars, overcompensate much?)
It's time to show me the money. I wonder, what's Cuba Gooding, Jr. been doing these days? "Jerry Maguire" was a great movie. Oh, good it's squishy face Renee Zellweger. He really should have won an Oscar by now, you know it's that kooky faith holding him back.
Everyone keeps saying what a "good person" Tom is. Yeah, we get it, he's a nice guy. I have no doubt about that. Tom is looking very subdued. Oh, there's the crazy smile and awkward laughter. Tom's says some things make him nervous. I bet holding those e-meter cans make him nervous. Talking to Oprah seems to be making him nervous.
Oh goody it's the Beckhams. Blah, blah, blah, "Jerry Maguire" makes us cry, Tom and David like to eat Mexican food while their wives like to *think* about eating food, poor Katie, surrounded by goofballs. Posh and Becks need to get a room, and David needs to shave that ridiculous beard off.
