More celebs are standing up for Tom, besides the ones mentioned in the post below:
Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes Friends Rush to Their Defense
Tom Cruise and the fabulous Katie Holmes have always been the subject of intense scrutiny, but now the spotlight is really glaring on both of them and especially on Tom. People magazine notes in this week’s issue that he is currently the subject of a scathing biography, and a pro-Scientology video he appeared in has become the butt of jokes and was even mocked by fellow actor Jerry O’Connell.
But now some of his friends have spoken out to People magazine and have rushed to the defense of Cruise. Bruce Willis told the magazine, “There is no excuses for the ridicule that is being shown to Tom Cruise in the media because of his faith. Mr. Cruise deserves and is entitled to the same religious tolerance that is afforded every other religion on earth.”
His ex-wife Demi Moore chimed in as well, “What’s so difficult about allowing someone to be happy? After meeting Katie, he was sharing in an unguarded way. He’s passionate; he’s adventurous. Give him a break.”
Ben Stiller, who generally shies away from formal statements about other stars to the press, had this to say, “Imagine having a baby and people talking about it the way they did. People lose sight of the fact that Tom Cruise is actually a person. I feel for him. What he’s dealing with is rough.”
Jim Carrey told People, “I’ve never known Tom to be anything but supportive, positive and honorable. Although his enthusiasm for Scientology is unsettling to some, what concerns me is not the content of this [Scientology] video, but the appetite we have to see those who’ve brought us so much joy held up to ridicule.”
The magazine has a whole list of stars rushing to his defense. Will it be enough to shake Tom & Katie free of the ongoing ridicule? (National Ledger, CelebritySafe.com)

It’s good that Tom’s friends stick up for him. I’ve never cared much for ridicule and I hope the scrutiny will end. Tom is such an incredibly strong man.

I sure hope people and the media will leave Tom alone. He has a right to his beliefs, even if one doesn’t believe in it. We do have freedom of religion in the US .Tom is a human being just like all of us. Stop ridiculing him. He is an actor foremost and a good one. He is happy with his family and deserves it.

Whether it’s fair or not, anyone in the public spotlight who chooses to share their personal beliefs, be it religious or political, opens themselves up to criticism and ridicule.
It’s how they handle the criticism that shows me the true depth of their convictions. Even though I don’t agree with Tom’s point of view,
I admire his passion for what he believes.
