I never took him as gay since he's fooled around with Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz and Katie Holmes...but that could just be a cover up for his queerness. I don't think it's true, but it'd be hilarious if that was really the case.

But he married and had children with her????
There was a rumor, while they were still married (sometime around Eyes Wide Shut, perhaps?), that Cruise was queer and had possible relations with a totally queer dude.
Yeah? Anyone else remember this?
We often went to the cinema, the screen would light up and we would tremble, but also, increasingly often, Madeleine and I were disappointed. The images had dated, they jittered, and Marilyn Monroe had gotten terribly old. We were sad, this wasn't the film we had dreamed of, this wasn't the total film that we all carried around inside us, this film that we would have wanted to make, or, more secretly, no doubt, that we would have wanted to live.

Cruise Sues Gay Porn Star

We're not quite sure what's allowable in courtrooms these days, but Tom Cruise is ready to "prove in court" that he is not gay.

In arguably the most direct attempt yet to stamp out rumors about his sexual orientation, Cruise filed a $100 million defamation lawsuit Wednesday against a gay porn star, who allegedly claimed in tabloid reports that he had an affair with the actor.

The complaint, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, claims Chad Slater (an "erotic wrestler" who also goes by the name Kyle Bradford) "concocted and spread the completely false story that he had a continuing homosexual affair with Tom Cruise and that this affair was discovered by Mr. Cruise's wife, leading to their divorce."

According to the suit, Cruise "had no relationship of any kind with Kyle Bradford and does not even know him." But Bradford allegedly told international magazine Actustar that he had an ongoing affair with Cruise, and that Nicole Kidman walked in on them during a "romantic encounter," prompting the couple to split up. The story was translated and later repeated in the Spanish-language magazine TVyNovelas.

"It is absolutely 100 percent false," Cruise's attorney, Bert Fields, tells E! Online. "[Cruise] is a great respecter of homosexual rights, but he's not gay, and he's ready to prove this in court. Tom is tired of it and it hurts his children. It's something that will be there forever. And damn it, he's going to stop it."

Bradford, whose film credits include The Cockpit Club and Forced to Submit, is apparently known in the U.S. "for his porn movies where he likes to climb into a ring and have encounters with his partners," according the Actustar article. The skin-flick thespian claimed to Actustar that he received a phone call while in Paris "from a Tom Finigham, who proposed to have a private encounter, specifically in a ring." Bradford apparently claimed in the article that it was actually Cruise, and that they had an ongoing affair.

Bradford, however, denies the allegations. In a statement, he says, "Regarding the news everyone has been reading...I have never been to France, I have never spoken with Actustar Magazine, and have never said any of the statements allegedly said by me. The things being reported internationally are totally untrue and very hurtful to all parties."

Meanwhile, Fields says Actustar has since published a retraction of the story. But Cruise is now prepared to target any other publications--domestic or foreign--that reprint the tale.

"He's going to sue anybody who repeats this story, even as a rumor," Fields said. He added that Cruise is willing to take the case as far as necessary. "We're very anxious to hear what this porn actor says under oath about this garbage story he's handing out."

By Wednesday afternoon, Bradford's personal Website was shut down. "Due to uncontrollable circumstances, kylebradford.com will be unavailable for a while," the site reads.

Over the years, Cruise's bedroom habits have been a matter of intense speculation for the tabloids. But the 38-year-old star has grown increasingly vigilant about taking on rumor-mongers. In 1997, Kidman told Ladies' Home Journal that she and her husband would take the offensive on reports claiming their marriage was a sham. "[W]e are going to sue over it," she said. "It gets to a point where you have to protect your children."

The couple also successfully sued the Star supermarket tabloid in 1999, after it published a story claiming Cruise and Kidman needed a sex coach for their steamy scenes in Stanley Kubrick's film, Eyes Wide Shut. The lawsuit was later settled, with the Star issuing a full retraction and making an unspecified donation to a charity of Cruise and Kidman's choice.

Cruise and Kidman, 33, have been separated since last December. Cruise filed for divorce in February, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple has two adopted kids, Isabella Jane, 8, and Connor Anthony, 6.

He is not gay... like every super star he probably experimented with a lot of shit, but that doesnt make him gay... I know a girl that fucked him not long ago

mogwai

the only thing that is gay about cruise is his current "i-have-a-new-girlfriend" wardrobe.

Thrindle

He's gay.  Anyone remember Rock Hudson?  Yeah, no one wanted to believe he was gay either.
Classic.

I'm one of the few, I guess, who is happy for them.  I, like everyone else, was... confused by the whole thing at first.  But after a while, I figured: once in a while, you find that love where you just want to scream out to the whole world that you are in love.  Tom Cruise is one of the only people in the world who actually CAN scream this to the ENTIRE world.

By doing this, eventually people will get tired of it and leave them alone--whereas if they tried to hide it, it would just fuel a "Bennifer" like thing that would tear them apart and ruin their lives.

We're all getting to the point where we don't want to hear about this anymore.  And so eventually no one will care, and they'll be free to just relax and enjoy their relationship.

Call me a romantic, but this is how love should be if it could be.  I don't believe that this is a publicity stunt (but I'm not gonna deny that possibility).

Quote from: Small Town Lonerwell I figured it was coming sooner or later, it probably won't last because

A) too much of an age difference

B) he'll realize she's not that great and just a young girl as immature as any

C) I'm sure nicole kidman has no desire to share her kids with her so they'll be some conflict there

Are you a middle-aged housewife or what ?

Spielberg: Media 'punished' love-struck Cruise

Director Steven Spielberg says the media "punished" Tom Cruise for the actor's televised, soul-baring declaration of love for Katie Holmes. But in an interview with Newsweek magazine released on Sunday the director downplayed speculation that the giddy public displays of affection by Cruise could damage Paramount Picture's publicity for his upcoming summer release "War of the Worlds." The $135 million-spectacle, based on the science-fiction novel by H.G. Wells, opens June 29. "I was a little upset. I was a little upset," Spielberg told the magazine, referring to the attention generated by Cruise's recent appearance on "The Oprah Winfrey Show."

QuoteTom Cruise squirted with water through gag microphone


LONDON – An interview with Tom Cruise found the actor all wet.

While Cruise was giving an on-the-spot interview at the "War of the Worlds" premiere in London, he was squirted in the face with water. The water came from what appeared to be a microphone.

Four men who were part of a freelance camera crew were arrested. They could face assault charges

An unamused Cruise told the culprit, "I'm here giving you an interview and answering your questions and you do something really nasty. You're a jerk."

After the incident, Cruise continued to greet fans. Cruise's fiancee, actress Katie Holmes, attended the premiere but wasn't next to him during the incident.

hahahahahaha. god, this dudes life just keeps getting funnier and funnier. He's becoming a joke right before our very own eyes.   http://www.tampabays10.com/weird/weird_article.aspx?storyid=15047
