TOM CRUISE- A lesson for Hollywood Stars

Whatever happened to the world's biggest movie star? I could not help but shake my head in disbelief as I read about Tom doing Ryan Seacrest's radio show and I thought to myself, HOW HAS THE MIGHTY FALLEN!

There was a time that the sycophantic media dared not write or say anything negative about Tom, they were all fallen over themselves to heap praises on him and even his sudden abandonment of Nicole Kidman did not change that, though truth be told, Nicole did not use her divorce to lunch her movie career unlike another actress that will not let us forget.
Tom seemed invincible and he did movies that critics might call pop corn but we all flocked to the theaters to see and in Hollywood, money talks. Yes, I enjoyed his movies, I might even say that I am/was a fan which is why I cringe these days when I see what he has been reduced to.

Tom had a powerhouse Publicist, and much like Jennifer Annistons' Stephen Huvane, Pat Kingsley created an image of Tom that was not really Tom, she managed his image to the point that the media wanted us to believe that Tom literally saves people every where he goes, then he starts to believe his own press and fires Kingsley and the manufactured public personae came crumbling. Therein lies the problem with manufactured images, after a while you feel stifled and you want your real self to show but the real you is not what people associate with your name and image and that is when problem starts for the star.

Tom must have believed that these phony people in the media cared about him, there he was on Oprah- his friend, after all he just attended her party with his new girlfriend, Katie Holmes. So there he was jumping on Oprah's couch trying to convince us that he is so in love he does not know what to do with himself, and he was doing it on his friend's show. Well, when the fallout from the couch jumping erupted, Oprah denied her GOOD FRIEND,Tom before the cock even crowed once, that my friends is the nature of friendship in Hollywood that woe is the celebrity that thinks these are real friendship.

So Tom became the whipping boy for all media, even those that used to kiss his ass could not wait to jump on the Tom bashing bandwagon, this is why it pains me to watch Tom go through his "Please like me again" tour. Those same sycophants in the media who could not wait to bash him are the same ones now acting like there are best friends with him starting with Oprah. I hope Tom has learned a hard lesson, and from here on learns to be true to himself. It is better to be hated for who you are than to be loved for who you are not, the same public that you sold your soul for will turn on you in a New York minute.

It is interesting that Tom and Katie were in the eye of the media storm at the same time as Brad and Angelina, the way they managed the media in such different ways should be a lesson for celebrities. The media storm that Brad and Angelina had to weather especially Angelina with Jennifer Anniston wedging her relentless passive aggressive media onslaught, the fact that they have come out the other side still intact, without kissing the media ass and doing it on their own terms probably irks those tabloid people who wanted them on their knees and doing precisely what Tom is doing now tells me that they stayed true to themselves and they have talent, at the end of the day, that trumps the lies and pr machinations and manufactured images.

Tom, I hope things turn around for you and you start making blockbuster movies again, if that time has passed for you, I hope you have the grace to accept it without bringing yourself so low and enjoy the memories of being on top for almost twenty years.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned! Jennifer Anniston will go to her grave a bitter and deranged woman, how else can you explain this woman's inability to move on from a divorce that will be four years next month, this woman has whined about her divorce almost as long as the damn marriage lasted.

I have always thought that Jennifer was a cold, conniving, manipulative fake bitch clothed in the girl next door image by her PR people. Either the pity party backfired so badly and had her stuck as the pitiful, pathetic ex wife who is unlucky in love that she is now trying to reinvent herself by attacking Angelina Jolie every opportunity she gets while praising the ex husband that dumped her for the ever luscious Jolie, or she has lost her mind.

Her latest attempt at a lame joke about the Jolie-Pitt's children is beyond the pale, how interesting that she has admitted reading Angelina's interviews but now she even knows her children's name and she is not even ashamed to admit that? I hope Brad and Angelina have serious security around her their children.

Oh, and Jennifer claims she did not know what was going on, REALLY, Jennifer, did your best friend Courtney not say that Brad was honest with you about the falling in love with Angelina but fighting those emotions. Well, yo u tried dissing Angelina by saying considering the source of the information, well, Brad just told Rolling Stone magazine that Mr and Mrs Smith is his favorite movie of Angelina's, because that was where he fell in love with Ms Jolie- now consider that source and how uncool was Brad.

By the way Jennifer, Pax Thien Jolie-Pitt called and he wants his style back.

TEAM UNCOOL

"What Angelina said was uncool" so said the uncoolest chick in Hollywood about the coolest woman. The name Jennifer Anniston must be synonymous with PATHETIC. How else can you explain this woman's inability to move on from a divorce almost four years later.

Vanity Fair launched the pity party four years ago, and we heard how Brad Pitt is missing a sensitivity chip, fast forward four years and she is singing a different tune, the divorce was amicable, she is proud of all Brad's achievement but Angelina gets her blood boiling, so if the divorce was amicable and Brad did not cheat on you, why the pity party? and why hate on Angelina?

Jennifer could it be because that the beautiful and talented Angelina reminds you every day what a pathetic human being you are. You gave up your marriage for movie stardom which to this day has eluded you, and yet Ms Jolie is able to juggle six children, have a red hot movie career and seem to make Brad happy. Could it be that bad ass Jolie, who can fly a plane, go into war torn Iraq while pregnant with twins while you can only go to Mexico makes you feel inadequate? The Jolie have world leaders on speed dial and you have Huvane and tabloid editors.

It must hurt to see that Brad upgraded, now instead of being stifled, he is creatively the best he has been, instead of just barbecuing with the Arquets and going to Mexico every vacation , he now vacations in Paul Allen's villa in south of France and now hangs out with the Deniro's and Eastwood's, you know like Hollywood royalty. If you are proud of Brad then you must thank Angelina for making him the man you can be proud of, but we don't expect that from you Jennifer because you are the most contrived, passive aggressive, bitter conniving hag in Hollywood. You know that your days are numbered and the only way you can stay relevant is by attaching your name to the Goddess, Angelina Jolie. That will get you on tabloid covers and tabloid shows but whatever happened to that movie stardom that you sacrificed your marriage for? Oh, yes, you are hoping your dog movie will get your career out of the doldrums so you can be more than the former wife of Brad Pitt who was infamously dumped by John Mayer in front of the paparazzi, I will be pissed at Angelina Jolie too, how dare she be that gorgeous and that talented and have Brad Pitt to herself and still be such a good mother, except that we here at Gossip-daily adore Ms Jolie and think she is a fresh breath in the pr manufactured personalities in hollywood, she has managed to forge her own path, and we here SALUTE Angelina Jolie- Team UNCOOL all the way.
