Matt Lauer insists there’s no hard feelings between him and Tom Cruise.
The Today Show host and the Top Gun star came to blows in 2005 over Scientology’s stance against psychiatric medication — causing headlines across the gloge.
Cruise, 45, admitted that he regretted the spat when he appeared on Oprah last week. And Lauer says it’s all water under the bridge; and there’s no need for Tom to apologize.
He says, “I don’t think he needs to apologize.
“I don’t feel there are any hard feelings. It was an interview. It was a good moment on television.”
Lauer confessed that he didn’t watch the actor’s interview. “I was traveling,” he tells People.com “I didn’t see the interview. Somebody told me a little bit.”
In fact, Lauer said he would welcome the chance to interview the Hollywood titan again. “The doors are open,” he added. “I hope he comes back and seems me real soon.” (Showbiz Spy, 9 May 2008)
Hi guys! I finally managed to put up the download of the Telluride interview and now I’m working to get the full second part (which I havent even been able to see yet)
In his first sit-down interview since marrying Katie Holmes and welcoming daughter Suri into the world, Tom Cruise gets candid about marriage and fatherhood with our Jann Carl in Paris, as he promotes his new political drama, ‘Lions for Lambs.’
Cruise, who talks to Jann in the city where he proposed to Katie, says married life is “all very good, all very lovely,” and that when he needs an honest opinion, he definitely turns to his wife of nearly a year.
Tom’s highly anticipated new flick ‘Lions for Lambs’ is out November 9, but he’s not the only working actor in the Cruise household. Katie has wrapped the comedy ‘Mad Money’ with Diane Keaton and Queen Latifah, and Tom sings the praises for his talented lady.
“I feel lucky,” he says. “I have a lot of respect for her as an artist, as a woman. She’s a very strong, gracious woman. She’s very funny, a great comedian.”
Besides working on movies and a happy marriage, Tom and Katie are keeping busy with their one-and-a-half year-old daughter Suri. And he says, just like everyone else, he and Katie make their hectic lives work. “We’ve gotten pretty good at organizing everything,” he says. “I don’t sleep much anyway.”
Tom also talks about his new position as co-owner of United Artists and the possibility of one day directing. “I will one day, I’ve always wanted to,” he says. “I’ve been offered things to direct, but have to find the right piece.”

SAWF has spotted Tom, Katie and Suri in Berlin:
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes take 15-month-old Suri on a stroll in a football field as they await the arrival of Tom’s helicopter after leaving Tom’s film set.
Before the family boarded the chopper for the ride home Tom signed an autograph for a local.
Tom is in Germany with his family to film Valkyrie, directed by Bryan Singer. He is starring as Col. Claus Graf Schenk von Stauffenberg, Germany’s most famous anti-Hitler plotter.
An insider on Cruise’ movie set in Berlin tells, “Its clear that Tom looks to Katie for praise and inspiration, and he gets it in spades,” reports OK! magazine.
I’ve uploaded the video of tonight’s Entertainment Tonight where they show the first glimpse of “Lions for Lambs”, and also a bit about Tom & Katie visit to France for the wedding or James Packer and Erika Baxter. Thanks Gertie for the video!
The videos sections is FINALLY open! YAY *does a happy dance*
I went ahead and bought a hosting space for the videos. I havent tested downloading, but the download rate could be a little slow, so I suggest using a download manager. Any trouble with downloading, please let me know. I made a instructions page right here.
You will need WinRar to descompact the video. You can download it for free at RarLabs.com (just scroll down and choose your language, then install the program. It’s free to use, you don’t have to buy it!)
The problem with the videos section is that the server where they were hosted had problems and lost all files, now I still have the files, but I have about 100 backup cds, which aren’t indexed (I’m a bad librarian, I know), and I still need to look over them.
If anyone has the videos and can send to me, I’d really appreciate, and the visitors would too!
Vanity Fair Exclusive: Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise Talk About Baby Suri; 22-Page Family Portfolio by Annie Leibovitz
NEW YORK, N.Y.—In a private conversation with Vanity Fair features editor Jane Sarkin, Katie Holmes tells her that “it’s been heartbreaking” to see what’s being said in the press about her family and her baby. “Some of the crap that’s out there—the stuff that’s said about my parents and my siblings [tabloid accounts implied that Katie’s family did not hit it off with Tom]—it’s really frustrating the amount of shit that’s out there. And the stuff they say about Suri?! You shouldn’t say that about us, and you can’t say that about my child.”
Holmes explains that the gossip “eats away at me because it’s just not O.K.,” but that she keeps up on it because “this is my future. This is my family, and I care so much about them. To see how someone as caring and good as Tom is—to see how things can just get so twisted and turned around. I mean, where does it come from?”
Sarkin spent five days with the Cruise-Holmes extended family at Cruise’s Telluride, Colorado, compound, sharing meals, taking hikes, and hanging out. Bella and Connor, whom Cruise and Nicole Kidman adopted during their marriage, were there, as well as Holmes’s mother and father, Cruise’s mother and sister, and other family members.
Sarkin reports that Cruise and Holmes coo over the baby like any new parents. “She has Kate’s lips and eyes,” Tom says of the baby. “I think she looks like Kate.” Holmes counters, “I think she has Tom’s eyes. I think she looks like Tom.”
“I was overjoyed in being pregnant,” Holmes tells Sarkin, “and then had to withstand ridicule about my pregnancy when it was the most normal, non-controversial thing imaginable.” Of speculation in the press, Holmes says, “All those things were invented.”
Holmes explains their purchase of an in-house sonogram machine to Sarkin, saying that they were followed by paparazzi and as a result her doctor had to make house calls. “The sonogram was for his use!” she says.
Leading up to the frenzy over the pictures, “we were just living our lives, being a family,” Cruise says. “Actually, we were taking our own photos and always planned to release those at the right time.” But “then all the craziness began,” Holmes says. “This ‘Where is Suri?’ controversy. Tom and I looked at each other and said, ‘What’s going on?’ We weren’t trying to hide anything.”
“It seemed only natural to have Annie take the first public photographs of Suri,” says Cruise of their decision to allow Leibovitz to photograph the baby. “Annie is the only professional photographer who ever shot Bella and Connor as children.”
“The moment the doctor handed me Suri,” Holmes tells Sarkin, “I was just ready. The feeling is indescribable. All I can say is the moment I looked in her eyes I felt like … Mom.” Holmes continues: “She’s a glorious girl. She’s the miracle of our life.”

TOKYO — Tom Cruise loves Japan, and the Japanese certainly love the superstar actor who makes it a point to come here to promote each of his movies and interact with his fans. Cruise, who turns 44 on July 3, arrived in Japan at 4 a.m. Tuesday for a whirlwind promotional tour for “Mission: Impossible III,” along with director JJ Abrams, co-stars Keri Russell and Maggie Q, as well as producer Paula Wagner.
After charming the media at a news conference at Meiji Kinenkan, Cruise donned a happi coat for a meeting with Land, Infrastructure and Transport Minister Kazuo Kitagawa who presented him with a certificate of thanks for his efforts to promote Japanese culture through his films (specifically “The Last Samurai” and also for his stated desire to film parts of “Mission: Impossible IV” in Tokyo).
Cruise, who was ranked last week by Forbes magazine as the world’s most powerful celebrity, said meeting fans was the most important part of his trip. On Tuesday night, in a scene recreated from his latest film, he arrived by speedboat at Odaiba for the Japan premiere and spent an hour chatting with fans before heading off to party with “Last Samurai” mates Ken Watanabe and Hiroyuki Sanada.
On Wednesday morning, Cruise and 150 invited guests (chosen from 30,000 applicants) from regional areas departed Tokyo aboard a specially chartered bullet train for the 150-minute journey to Shin-Osaka. During the trip, Cruise is spending a minute with each passenger and posing for a photo with every one of the 150 fans onboard. He returned to the U.S. on Wednesday night.
Distributor UIP pulled out all the stops for the visit, spending 2 billion yen on the various events. Japan, of course, is the second biggest movie market in the world and Cruise’s films have consistently been hits here, where his sometimes eccentric behavior means little. “I think you all know my affinity for Japan and your culture,” he said.
“Mission: Impossible III” sees Cruise reprising his role as Ethan Hunt, now an IMF agent instructor called back into action to rescue a former team member who has been captured by a ruthless arms dealer (Philip Seymour Hoffman). Complicating matters is the fact that Hunt now has a wife who is not aware of his true occupation.
Abrams, best known for directing the TV series “Alias,” pours on the action. Cruise certainly earns the reported $20 million he was paid, doing most of the stunts himself. “I asked myself a couple of times why I still do that,” he said. “The scene where I am blown against a car on a bridge looked good when we wrote it on a Friday, but not on Monday when we filmed it. At that point, everyone was waiting around, looking at me, so I couldn’t get out of it.”
Both Cruise and Abrams (who was given the directing job by Cruise as a birthday present) wanted to inject the romance angle into the series. “We wanted a love story that was action-packed and had vivid characters. This is my favorite mission,” said Cruise.
But not his last mission. Tokyo looms on the horizon for the next one. “Actually, we wrote scenes for this one with Tokyo in mind, but we couldn’t find the right buildings,” said Abrams. “So in the end, we had to go to Shanghai.”
However, Cruise knows what he would like to do for “M:I IV,” if there is one. “I’d like to shoot in downtown Tokyo for a week. Just at night. It would be an unbelievable sequence. Of course, people might not be happy with the traffic.” The actor mentioned it during his meeting with Transport Minister Kitagawa who promised to cooperate.”
Cruise said he is more enthusiastic than ever about making movies. “I wish I could make two or three a year, but I am very particular about what I do,” he said. “When I was growing up, moving around, I never thought I would have the opportunity to make movies. It was a joke to even think about it. But the more I make movies, the more I appreciate it and the more I appreciate what other artists have done,” Cruise said, naming Muhammad Ali as his real-life hero because of his integrity and values. “I like to challenge myself just to see if I can do it. I love creating something together with a team, especially when it is a project close to my heart.”
Speaking of close to his heart, the Japanese media were disappointed that he didn’t bring his fiance Katie Holmes and their child Suri, as he promised he would. “Yeah, I know,” Cruise said, “but the trip was just too short.” He is still on cloud nine following the April birth. “I’m very happy. Last Sunday was the best Father’s Day I could have,” he said of his time with Holmes, Suri and his two adopted kids. “I think you all know what a gift children are. I feel the responsibility of that because they are the future. I feel overwhelmed with emotion at times when I look at my children. I always wanted to be a father my whole life. So I’m hoping I have 10 children,” he joked. (crisscross)

Before jetting off to Monday’s big premiere, Tom opened up to “Extra” about his real-life “Mission: Impossible” — giving those pesky paparazzi the slip to get Katie and Suri safely home from the hospital.
“You think I’m going to let anybody mess with my girls? Come on, man, I make ‘Mission Impossible’ movies,” Tom laughed. “Think I can’t get in and out of a hospital in my town? I mean, it’s just not going to happen.”
Tom told us that even his screen alter ego, secret agent Ethan Hunt, would have been proud of the stealth operation. “There was no paparazzi there, and when we left we got in our house,” he revealed. “It’s been really calm, actually.”
“Extra” was among the first to congratulate the superstar dad. We surprised him with a gift basket full of baby goodies for Suri. And Tom revealed a curious romantic secret that only he and Katie had shared: “Suri was born exactly one year to the day that I met Katie for the first time.”
Meanwhile, Tom’s still walking on air after the birth and reminiscing about the first time he held Baby Suri. “I keep replaying it over and over in my mind,” he admitted. “You never forget that moment of holding your child for the first time. It’s powerful because of how much I love Kate.”
As for Tom’s other big arrival, “Mission: Impossible III,” he revealed that it almost didn’t happen. “I wasn’t going to make another one until I felt I could take it to another level,” Tom said.
But Tom went full steam ahead after getting Hollywood’s hottest new director, J.J. Abrams, on board. JJ was more surprised than anyone. “I thought I was being ‘Punk’d',” he confessed.

An example of how ridiculous the media can be in copying “news” without putting it in the right context:
Cruise was only kidding News sites take placenta-eating comment out of context and report it as fact
The Web is buzzing with the shocking “news” that Tom Cruise plans to eat the placenta after his girlfriend Katie Holmes gives birth. Cruise’s comment – a joke he made during an interview with GQ – is being taken out of context and reported as legitimate news. Some sites are going so far as to quote medical experts on the topic of placenta-eating.
Cruise, 43, told GQ: “I’m gonna eat the placenta. I thought that would be good. Very nutritious. I’m gonna eat the cord and the placenta right there.” When it was pointed out that it would be a big meal, Cruise replied: “OK, maybe I won’t.” But most sites aren’t making note of the fact that Cruise was kidding.
“Tom Cruise is reportedly planning to eat the placenta and umbilical cord after fiancée Katie Holmes gives birth to their child,” reports mtv.uk. iAfrica.com declares: “Tom Cruise is intending to eat Katie Holmes’ placenta after his fiancée has given birth to their baby.” “Hollywood actor and Scientologist Tom Cruise is planning to eat Katie Holmes’ placenta,” reports Ireland’s rte.ie. Britain’s itv.com says: “Sofa leaping father-to-be Tom Cruise has revealed his latest bizarre plan - to eat Katie Holmes’ placenta.”
At least one online news source “gets” it. At the Info About News site, the placenta remark merits only a passing mention deep down in a story about Cruise. “Oh, and he made a pretty nifty joke about eating the placenta,” reads the site. “Really, it was funny.”

Fortunately there are still some reporters left with brains who think and listen/read first! AlsoElitesTV:
The story circulating that Tom Cruise plans to eat the placenta of girlfriend Katie Holmes after she gives birth to their child is not true. The 43-year-old actor made the comment in an interview with ‘GQ’ magazine but it was meant to be taken as a joke. Many media organizations made note of the comments and treated them as serious.
‘I’m gonna eat the placenta,’ Cruise told a reporter from ‘GQ.’ ‘I thought that would be good. Very nutritious. I’m gonna eat the cord and the placenta right there.’ When it was pointed out that it would be a big meal, Cruise replied, ‘OK, maybe I won’t.’
The ‘Mission Impossible’ star’s comments were taken seriously on such diverse Web sites as MTV.uk and iAfrica.com and many of the British tabloids.
This follows intense media speculation about the term ’silent birth,’ something practiced by Scientologists and initially widely misunderstood in the media. Initial reports said that Miss Holmes would have to be completely quiet during labor which is not true. ‘Silent birth’ simply involves keeping the atmosphere around the mother as calm and quiet as possible.
Cruise and Holmes’ baby is due in the next few weeks. Mr. Cruise has said the couple plans to marry later this summer.
AccessHollywood open on their site with the message that they reveal parts of the interview never before heard, including a discussion of Tom’s childhood and his complicated relationship with his father. That parts we already know by now - nothing new - but the page also includes some video’s of Katie, her view on the baby preps, marriage and scientology. It’s not much but since they are showing it, I’m reporting it!
Today ABC published the interview Diane Sawyer had with Tom:
April 13, 2006 — Tom Cruise was just 19 years old when he starred in “Risky Business.” The fresh-faced kid from upstate New York was paid about $75,000 for his breakout role. Twenty-three years later, Cruise is one of Hollywood’s biggest stars. In his latest film, he’s reprising his role in “Mission: Impossible 3.”
He is also half of one of the most talked-about couples in America. His sudden, and very public, romance with Katie Holmes took the world by surprise a year ago, and now Cruise and the 27-year-old actress are expecting a baby — due any minute now.
And every day it seems, a new headline tells a different story — they are breaking up; her parents, a Catholic family from Toledo, Ohio, don’t like Scientology; the saga of the “silent birth” rituals; even that the baby isn’t really his.
In an exclusive interview with Diane Sawyer on “Primetime,” Cruise confronts those rumors — telling Sawyer that he and Holmes are happy and in love, and they are looking forward to getting married after the baby is born.
From Katie to Nicole to the expectant baby on the way, Tom Cruise takes it all on in an incredibly candid interview with GQ.
GQ’s Lucy Kaylin sat down with the world’s biggest star, who told her he knew the second Katie was pregnant. “He just looked at her and he noticed something,” Kaylin said. “He said to me, ‘I notice things about people.’ And he said to her, ‘You’re going to tell me you’re pregnant, aren’t you?’”
As for the much talked about Scientology practice of silent birth, Cruise told GQ, “It’s really about respecting the woman. It’s not about her not screaming.” Tom’s thought was echoed by Kelly Preston at Monday night’s CMT Awards. “Well, it’s basically giving birth in the most quiet, serene, peaceful and loving environment as possible,” she revealed.
So did Tom personally tell his ex-wife Nicole about Katie’s pregnancy? After initially not commenting, Tom said, “It’s not like anything I had or didn’t have to do. I wish her well.”
The star also touched on his now famous headline-grabbing prescription drug debate with Matt Lauer on the “Today” show. Kaylin revealed, “As he put it to me, he can get angry. And that wasn’t angry; it was just an opportunity that he welcomed to share some information. He thought it was a wonderful interview.”
Tom Cruise’s GQ tell all hits newsstands this week. (ExtraTV)
ET will air the interview, so keep an eye on the site for a video clip! If they will add a clip I’ll post it.
Also, Tom will talk to Diane Sawyer this Friday, April 14 at 9 p.m. on ABC News’ “Primetime”. He will open up to Diane Sawyer about his relationship with Holmes and her family, the birth of their child and how he deals with the constant rumors swirling around them. (ABCnews)
Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks have topped the latest Ulmer Scale, which annually lists the 10 most bankable actors in Hollywood.
Former columnist James Ulmer, who compiles the hot list every year, insists the Toms have kept the likes of Brad Pitt, Nicole Kidman and George Clooney off the top because film fans will pay to see them do just about anything.
Ulmer quips, “Tom Hanks could stand on his head and, in Swahili, quote the Koran (Islam’s holy book), and someone would pay $100 million for that movie - ditto for Tom Cruise.”
Ulmer insists his list is the most definitive way of tracking true star power because he spends 12 months looking at the form of over 1,000 stars. He scores the stars by surveying dozens of leading film buyers and sellers worldwide.
Cruise tops the list, with Hanks coming in second and Jim Carrey third.
Ulmer’s latest list also includes Johnny Depp, Russell Crowe, Jude Law, while Julia Roberts and Kidman are the only actresses gracing the top 10.
As Tom Cruise prepares to become a biological father, the 43-year-old superstar has finally opened up about his own troubled childhood, telling how his father bullied and beat him as a child.
In an interview with Parade magazine reported by the Evening Standard, Cruise discusses his father saying, “He was a bully and a coward. He was the kind of person where, if something goes wrong, they kick. It was a great lesson in my life - how he’d lull you in, make you feel safe and then, bang!” Cruise, 43, says, “For me it was like, ‘There’s something wrong with this guy. Don’t trust him. Be careful around him.’ There’s that anxiety.”
When Cruise was only 12-years-old, his mother took the children and left her husband. The only time he saw his father again was 10 years later when he was dying of cancer.
When Cruise was 12, his mother left his father, taking Cruise and his sister Lee Anne with her. The actor tried for a reconciliation 10 years later, when his father “was in the hospital dying of cancer, and he would only meet me on the basis that I didn’t ask him anything about the past.”
Cruise sums up the experience as a life lesson. “When I saw him in pain, I thought, ‘What a lonely life.’ He was in his late 40s. It was sad.”
